WESTERN TRAP. 
Cincinnati, O., Gun Club. 
Jan. 21 was a very pleasant day. Ten members shot 
their scores in the Ackley trophy event, and fourteen men 
in all took part in the practice shooting. Among the 
occasional visitors was Charles Dreihs, who is at home 
for a short stay, and C. O. Le Compte, of Eminence, Ky., 
both well-known trade representatives, and very popu- 
lar with the shooters. 
In the trophy event to-day, Maynard was high with 45, 
standing at 20yds. Scores:

In a three-man team race, Bonser, who is becoming 
better known as the ‘‘Boy Wonder,” broke 50 straight. 
He has been going a lively clip the past few weeks, and 
if he has, or develops the nerve necessary to carry 
through a hot, close competition, ought to take a top 
place at any big tournament. 
Team race, 50 targets per man, low team pays for 
targets: 
Bonser 50, Barker 46, Gambell 42; total 138. 
Bleh 47, Le Compte 42, Dreihs $8; tefl 127. 
‘The attendance on Jan. 27 was fair. The air was like 
spring. 
In the Clements trophy contest, Dal, a visitor from 
Maysville, Ky., was high man with 48; Bonser, from 
20yds., dropped into second with 46; Pohlar and Le 
Compte were 45 each. Mrs. Frances Altherr was out 
to-day after a rest of several weeks. Her score was not 
quite up to her best mark, and she showed her lack 
of practice. 
In a two-man team race, Gambell-Bonser vs. Pohlar- 
eu, shot on Jan. 26,-Pohlar was high with 89, Bonser 
i. 
Gambell, Rhoads and some of the Dayton shooters got 
together at the Rohrer’s Island banquet on Jan. 23 and 
fixed up matters in regard to the tri-city team matches, 
The result of their efforts is given* below in the follow- 
ing rules and conditions governing races between Cin- 
cinnati, Dayton and Columbus: 
Teams to be composed of ten men, who take part at 
least twice a month in the regular contests of the club 
of which they are a member. { 
Each team shall post an entrance for the three races 
of $70 at the first contest. 
Each contest will be at 100 targets per man, shot in 
strings of 20. 
The team having the highest average at the final con- 
test will be declared the winner, and receive all the 
TIZESy 
PTareets shall be thrown between 45 and 50yds., and at 
regulation height. 
In addition to the regular team race, a shoot will be 
given consisting of five events at 20 targets each. Money 
to be divided 35, 80, 20 and 15 per cent. Should there

member of the winning team. 
The races will be held on these dates unless otherwise 
mutually agreed: First contest at Dayton, March 21,

Messrs. Gambell, of Cincinnati; Cain, of Dayton, and 
Rhoads, of Columbus, have been appointed ‘a committee 
to act on all rules, etc. Their decision will be final. 
These matches cannot fail to reawaken the interest in 
trapshooting in this section, to say nothing of the aa- 
vantage there will be in bringing the shooters from the 
different cities together socially.

Blue Mound Tournament. 
Blue Mound, IIl., Jan. 25.—During the past two days 
a tournament has been on at the grounds of the Blue 
Mound Gun Club. Considering that this is a town 
with less than 1,000 inhabitants, the gun club is a 
splendid one, composed of business men, who are en- 
thusiastic shooters. 
The officers and active members are: President, W. H. 
Snell; Vice-President, C. W. Herman; Secretary, C. W. 
Whittington; Treasurer, T. L. Bankson, together with 
F. Armstrong, G. L. Robbins and J. W. Robbins, all of 
whom are shooters. To show their progressive spirit 
for this shoot, a good club house was erected, having 
every convenience, and a new automatic trap was placed 
on a very convenient tract of ground near town. 
The snow covered the ground, and the sun shone 
brightly, causing a reflection that puzzzled most of the 
contestants. Everybody made poor scores, mostly on this 
account, 
The traveling men were W. Tramp Irwin, John Boa, 
W. H. Vietmeyer and W. D. Stannard. Others were 
J. W. Robbins, W. H. Snell, George Robbins, C, Her- 
man, C. Whittington and A, Herman, Blue Mound; A. 
S. Wyckoff, . Manning, J. Allen and O. Pope, 
Morrisonville; T. W. Long, E. E, Harner, J. P. and 
W. E. Keller, Taylorville, and G. W. Rupert, Decatur. 
On the first day, W. D. Stannard was high with 130 
out of 140, with John Boa second, 128. Of the amateurs 
Mr. J. W. Robbins and W. E. Fuller were high with 114, 
with W. J. Manning next with 113. 
As the programme was short, there were many extras 
shot, among them being doubles, at which John Boa was 
the star performer, making clean scores. 
The second day the number of shooters fell away, but 
the scores were higher, partially attributed to the fact 
that the sky was overcast during the forenoon. Scores: 
Jan. 24, First Day.

Scarecrow Trophy. 
Every Saturday and Sunday during the entire year 
there is shooting at Watson’s Park, near Burnside, but 
on Sunday, Jan. 21 there was a special race for a fine 
silver cup, generously donated by Mr. Fred Stone, the 
shocting man and the “Scarecrow” for the Wizard of 
Oz. As he was in the city on a business trip, he 
stirred up the shooters by offering a cup, open to all,
