ness in the air to put the shooters on their mettle, to- 
gether with a large attendance of spectators, who thor- 
oughly enjoyed the sport, which was of high order, com- 
bined to make the Kinsley, Kans., Gun Club shoot last 
week a great success, and reflected credit on that or- 
ganization for the perfect manner in which the affair 
was managed. There were twenty-five present, and the 
match at 100 targets between Miller Oliphant and Philip 
Moleton was changed to 50, the former winning, 41 to 36. 
Shooting at 80 targets, Oliphant broke 71, Davin 70, 
Brelsford 67, Whitney 65, Moletor 64, Quasebarth 64, 
Prutens 62, Draut 61, Gregory 61, Heath 59, Bond 48, 
A. Sine 43, Leonard 41, Bishop 39. 
The South Wichita, Kans., Gun Club is a new club, 
which held a shoot on Saturday last. 
The Ohio shooters have in prospect the best annual 
shoot ever held, as business men of Dayton have of- 
fered $500 for additional prize money. Then the N. C. R. 
Gun Club, having charge of the shoot, will entertain the 
visiting marksmen and their wives during the three days 
of the meet. With this for an incentive, the Buckeye 
trapshots will rally en masse to the town where “‘Pop” 
Heikes and many other shooters have their homes. 
This.club felt their ability to entertain when the offer 
was made to hold the next G. A. H. on their grounds. 
The Akron, O., Gun Club is pushing a movement to 
organize many of the clubs into a league. The clubs to 
be considered as eligible, being Barberton, Canton, Mas- 
sillon, New Berlin, Kent, Ravana, and Akron. The plan 
most popular among the local sportsmen is to have the 
league shoots last throughout the summer, with a shoot 
every month or twice a month by each team. Then there 
would be a substantial trophy to be awarded the team 
having made the highest score for the year. If the 
shoots were started in the spring, having six clubs, each 
team could shoot a match with the others, one at home 
and one on each of the other club’s grounds. 
The shoot held by the Ross County Outing Gun Club, 
Chillicothe, O., on Tuesday afternoon was brought to 
a stop at about the middle of the afternoon, owing to 
the breakdown of the trap. In the try for the medal 
at 10 targets, there was a tie on 9 between Dr. O. P. 
Totman, Sheriff Latta Morrison and Dr. C. W. Mills, 
each making 9. The shoot-off was postponed until an- 
other time, when the trap would be in running order. 
Many of the shooters of Chicago on last Thursday 
night composed a box party that honored Mr. Fred A. 
Stone, the Scarecrow of the ‘“‘Wizard of Oz.”’ It was the 
happy occasion for the presentation of flowers and com- 
pliments to the gentleman, who is much interested in 
trapshooting. . 
There was a match shot at Lyons, Kans., Monday, at 
which T. A. Bavington was first prize winner, Stoor 
Middlekaugh second and Roy Middlekaugh third. 
Dan Bonor, of Highland, was the winner at the shoot 
held at Verona last Tuesday. He was five points to the 
good, 
Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Riper, L. I., Jan. 20.—The weekly shoot of the 
Crescent Athletic Club had a good attendance. The 
~veather was mild, though the light was dull. Mr. H. B. 
Vanderveer scored another win on the January cup, and 
now is in the lead for it. Mr. J. H. Ernst scored a leg 
on the T. W. Stake trophy. In the contest for the two- 
man team cup, Messrs. Henry Kryn and Henry B. 
Brigham were the winners. The scores:

The following records of the contestants for the Janu- 
ary cup show that Mr. H. B. Vanderveer is in the lead 
by the narrow margin of one target. There are several 
others who have a chance to win, and the next and final 
contest should therefore be keenly interesting. The

enson, Jr., and J. H. Ernst. 
B. S. A. Shoot. 
BaLtimoreE, Md.—The Baltimore Shooting Association 
has made a fine beginning at their winter target shoots. 
Thirty-one members participated in the shoot Saturday 
afternoon, Jan. 20. An oyster roast is evidently a great 
inducement. The trap was out of order, and caused much 
delay, and inconvenience to the shooters. I have never 
seen such unsatisfactory targets thrown. They were 
enough to ruin the disposition of a saint, and as few 
shooters have reached the angelic stage, the air reeked 
with language more expressive than eloquent. Captain 
Malone is usually able to adjust all difficulties, but failed 
to get the trap in good working order, and as Bulwer 
once wrote, “‘patience ceased to be a virtue’? with many 
of the men. 
“Darkness fell from the wings of night’? before the 
last squad» was called. If these shoots are to be con- 
tinued indefinitely until 6 o’clock, I would suggest that 
some energetic and enterprising firm manufacture electric 
targets, so the shooters could see them when _ flying 
through the air. The flash of the gun was all that I could 
distinguish, and it was entirely a question of strong 
eyes and not skill that gave some of the men in the last 
squad a good score. 
Tracy had the advantage of Moxley in a shoot-off. 
Moxley could not see his targets at all. Tracy now and 
then was able to locate one. After each shot they moved 
up several yards, and their last three targets were fired 
at from the trap. The referee could not with certainty 
tell whether it was hit or miss. ; 
The weather was cloudy, but the air as exhilarating as 
champagne, and gave one a keen appetite for the oysters 
roasted so well. A large oven, about five feet 
square, was made of stones near the club house, and 
covered with sheet iron, the oysters put on top, and 
when roasted served steaming hot, with the usual ac- 
companiments, to the members and their friends. 
Hawkins was high gun with a straight of 25. The

Prospect—Perryman. 
“The day was cold and dark and dreary,” 
The Perryman boys went home quite weary, 
For the Prospect team let only a few targets slide, 
And exhibited the winning score with pride. ; 
Battimore, Md.—Jan. 15 was the day of the much- 
talked-of Perryman team shoot. Lester German with 
fifteen men reached Prospect Park at 11 A. M. In the 
weather we were disappointed. The morning dawned 
dark, gloomy and cloudy. The air was penetrating and 
cold, and it was apparent we were in for a wet day. By 
10 o’clock a fine drizzle, more like a London fog than 
rain. commenced, and there was everything to discourage 
the visiting team. One of the men (at the last moment) 
was called to New York. Another had a more important 
call—matrimony. A third had to buckle down to busi- 
ness, while his brother went hunting, and with Billy 
Foord quail shooting in the “sunny South,” it is not to 
be wondered the usually victorious Perryman team was 
“out of commission.” 
The traps were not working well, but the targets 
thrown were about 48yds. With the exception of a few 
high guns, the shooting was not up to the standard. 
Less German was high gun for the Perryman team with 
48. Hawkins for the Prospect boys with 46, Moxley 
second, 44. The scores: .

Ossintnc, N. Y., Jan. 20.—Scores herewith were made 
at the club shoot of the Ossining Gun Club to-day. The 
main event was at 100 targets, divided in five 20-target 
events, sliding handicap. All stood at 16yds., in the first 
20 event, and at the yard mark corresponding -to the 
nuniber of targets broken in succeeding events. There 
were prizes in each event as well as $1 optional sweeps. 
After the 100-target race, five of the members shot for 
the Weskora cup, conditions, two barrels allowed, 25 
targets, distance handicap. E. H. Moulton, of Minne- 
apolis, Minn., was high with 21, Hyland being a close 
second with 20. ; 
Targets were thrown 55yds., and higher than some of 
those present were used to shooting at. Mr. : 
Hendrickson, who lately won the amateur championship 
of the United States, and A. Betti, of Mt. Kisco, were 
the guests of the club. Mr. Hendrickson was high with
