TFEB, 3, 1906.] 

handicap, at 100 targets. It was a good day to stay by 
a warm fire. There were rain and fog and darkness, 
calculated to hold down scores to the lowest. It was 
therefore a surprise to see fifty shooters ready to’ face 
the traps. ‘The only way to account for this was the 
chance to win a cup, no entrance money and targets 
one cent each. A mistake was made in starting the 
shoot at 2 o’clock, as only twenty-one shot through. 
When Mr. Willard made the excellent score of 94, 
there was little use of those finishing who had missed 
six or more. Mr. Boa shot a great race from the 2lyd. 
line, making 92. A. E. Ruple, though shooting little 
of late, was a good third, with 91. W. D. Stannard, after 
having a lead at the 75th target, fell away at the last 
round, and finished with but 88, 
Mr. Stone, surely stirred a commotion among the 
Chicago boys and their friends, and at the close of the 
shoot was warmly received by the participants, and 
responded with the football song. Mr. Stone took part, 
shooting at 50 targets and scoring 40. Mr. Teeple, the 
park manager, was the handicapper. All were fairly 
well satisfied. 
There is evidence now that the circuit of big shoots 
held last year during the month of March, will be dupli- 
cated this year. W. D. Townsend, of Omaha, is author- 
ity for the statement that the Omaha club will hold one 
of their famous shoots March 20, 21 and 22, which in 
turn will be followed by Kansas City. 
J> W. Haughawout, Fort Dodge, Ia., is not slow this 
time. He claims through the sporting press June 7 and 
8, and incidentally announces that there will be $200 
cash added. This will be well received by all the Iowa 
and Western shooters, as June is a lovely month for 
shooting, especially in the State of Iowa. 
Feb. 4 will be the date of the second shoot for the 
Ballistite cup. P. Peters was the lucky man at the last 
shoot, it being a very stormy day. He won from scratch 
with 43 out of 50. 
There is a very excellent gun club at Dubuque, Ia., 
and many high class tournaments have been held there. 
The annual meeting was in the nature of a love feast, 
and arrangements were made for a renewal of the great 
sport of trapshooting during 1906 season. The new ot- 
ficers are: President, Wm. Bonson, Vice-President, 
Walter Cox; Secretary, F. . Yeager; Field Captain, 
Joseph O’Brien; Assistant Field Captain, W. P. Slat- 
tery. 
‘The announcement has been made that the Knox, Ind., 
Gun Club will hold a tournament May 15 and 16. An 
up-to-date automatic trap will be installed, and a good 
club house will be built. The officers for this year are: 
President, C. M. Fuller; Secretary, Townsend; 
Treasurer, H. D.‘Baker; Field Captain, Charles A. 
Brown. This will come a month ahead of the Grand 
American Handicap, and will afford good practice. 
Simon Wheland was declared champion as a result of 
a shoot held last Monday at Ashland, Ill., at the home 
of Mr. W. W. Crum. 
Dick Knight, of Canon City, Colo., now holds the gun 
club trophy, but he will have a hard time holding un, 
as there are sixty-three members who are after the same 
thing. Some of them will be lucky ere long. 
Charley Budd and Fred Gilbert have got the shooting 
habit so strongly imbedded in the minds of the average 
Hawkeye that even the members of the band at Ker- 
mich, la., are holding target tournaments. 
The Beaver Crossing Gun Club, at Seward, Neb., was 
successful as to entries, but the scores, owing to the 
inclement weather, were not the best. All present join 
a a statement that they were much pleased with’ the 
shoot., 
The Riverside Gun Club, Glenolden, Pa., has been 
organized, and a shooting park has been secured. The 
officers elected are: President, Joseph Cross; Vice- 
President, Dr. Harry W. Buckmaster; Secretary, John 
R. Jones; Treasurer, Emmett Simon; Trustees, J. 
Gregg, Edward Dale, Thomas Flanagan; Captain, War- 
ren Stewart. 
It is agreeable to note that Marquette, Kans., is still 
“on the map” as a shooting town. The Fremont boys 
were very successful at their shoot, held last Thursday. 
Although the Princeton, Il]., Gun Club has done very 
little shooting the past year, the members did not fail 
to meet and hold their annual banquet. All were will- 
ing to wager that Thursday night last was the best ever 
spent at a feast. 
Another new gun club for Minnesota. At Brainerd, 
the Pine River Gun Club was organized, and the newly 
elected officers are: F. L. Hill, President; George A. 
Wagner, Vice-President; C. E. Webber, George J. 
Silk and Charles Kline, Trustees; J. J. Allen, Secretary 
and Treasurer. There is plenty of room for more clubs 
in Minnesota, so we would be pleased to note that other 
towns have followed Brainerd. 
The gun club at Worthington, Minn., held a shoot 
on Tuesday, at which A. F. Dahn and O. Fuqua, of 
Round Lake, were visitors. There was a medium-sized 
crowd present, and yet no phenomenal scores were made. 
Watseka, Ill, Gun Club has chosen 1906 officers: 
President, S. B. Dooley; Clerk, F. Bard; Captain, .Dick 
Keene; Treasurer, Chris Mans. The members meet every 
Thursday for practice at the traps. 
Monday last there was a shoot at Sparland, IIl., at 
which A, Baggs and Joe Frye won the honors, 
Ohio Trap Notes. 
On Jan. 20 twelve men took part in the shooting on 
the Cleveland Gun Club’s grounds. Two events at 15, 
two at 25, one at 10, and one at 20 targets, were on the 
programme, eight men shooting through. King led the 
bunch with 95 out of 110, Hopkins 91, W. Tamblyn $85, 
Board 80, Ong 77, Wallace (100) 76, Hogen (110) 72, 
Korner (110) 71, Freeman (110) 72, Herbert (60) 46, F. 
(60) 42, Libby (60) 38. Out of his last 50, King broke 
43, the best. work of the day, his score in the last 10v 
being 86. Hopkins got 41 out of the last 50, and 83 out 
of the last 100. 
The Springfield Gun Club will hold a big shoot on 
Washington’s Birthday, and will entertain the Dayton 
Gun Club at dinner at one of the hotels after the shoot. 
The. Springfield men have been twice cordially treated

the compliment. A good shoot is assured, as the Spring- 
field Club has many good shoots among its members, 
and is well-known in this locality for its hospitality. 
The annual meeting and the second annual banquet 
of the Rohrer’s Island Gun Club, of Dayton, was hela 
on Tuesday evening, Jan. 23, at the Phillips House. lt 
was a grand success, and will be long remembered by 
over a hundred officers, members and guests. The meet- 
ing was called to order for the business session at 
7:30 P. M., President Hodapp presiding. He referred 
with pleasure to the success attending the regular weekly 
shoots during the past year, and to the popularity of 
each of the special tournaments and outings. He also 
spoke of the prosperity of the club, the increase in mem- 
bership and better financial standing, as shown by the 
reports of Secretary Kette and Treasurer Miller. The 
club cwes not a cent, and has a nice little sum in the 
treasury to start the new season. The election resulted 
as follows: Gus A. Hodapp, President (his re-election 
was unanimous); Wm. C. Oldt, Vice-President; Mark 
K. Huffman, Treasurer; Charles F. Miller, Secretary, in 
place of Will E. Kette, who positively declined to serve; 
James Gemin, Assistant Secretary; Harry Oswald, Field 
Captain; Trustees, Ed Cain, Phil. Hanauer, John Schaerf, 
Charles Smyth, John L. Sapp. The following gentle- 

men were appointed a committee to offer something as 
a substitute for the medal prize in the weekly shoots: 
EK, PD. Rike, M. J. Schwind, Ed. Cain, John W. Ger- 
laugh. The committee will confer with the trustees as to 
the merits of the certificate prize system. At the con- 
clusion of the business session the members and guests 
formed in line, with the officers at the head, and marched 
into the banquet hall. The following were seated at the 
tables: John Schaerf, M. Ford, Chas. L. Snyder, Will
