it will be a corker. Ed. Chapman was elected as sec- 
retary and T. S. Mayhem president. 
A new gun club has been formed at Marion, IIl., and 
400 acres of marshland has been leased. A club house

shoot given by the Pueblo, Colo., Gun Club. 
During the visit of Wm. Heer to the Carlisle, Pa., 
Indian School, he was trying to show the bucks how to 
shoot. It was noticed, however, that Charles A. Bender, 
the famous ball pitcher, made a run of 29 straight. The 
weather was bad, but Messrs. Tritt and Shorer each 
killed 14 out of 15 live birds. 3 
Many years ago there were many good _live-bird 
shooters at Jefferson City, Mo., and it is a pleasure to 
mention that reports from that city are to the effect that 
there are about eighteen members there yet, and there is 
prospect for a tournament being held in the near future. 
The sportsmen at Echo, Orc., have formed a gun 
club, having a membership of about twenty-five. Traps 
and clay targets and a shooting ground will be purchased. 
There has been an awakening at Rock Island, Ill., and 
now Davenport, Ia., will not have the only gun club in 
the two cities. The South Park Gun Club is the or- 
ganization, and the first shoot was held last week. The

be a good thing for both clubs, as an interchange would 
bring about more friendly feelings and better all- around 
understanding. 
Last Friday afternoon the Albion, Mich., Gun Club 
held their regular target shoot. In the 25-target event, 
James McGuire broke 18, C. 17, C. Drake 15, H. Davis 
5, F.. Stancroff 10, Mogel 12. In a 10-target race Harry 
“Gale with 7 beat Al. Wolfinger, who only collided with 6. 
St. Charles, Mo., may well be proud of a gun club 

such as the Riverside, which keeps up its practice shoots 
during the winter months. 
The Cripple Creek, Colo., Gun Club report that the 
club house has been completed at the Mineral Mill Park. 
This will add much to the convenience of the members.

At Muncie. 
Muncriez, Ind., Feb. 2.—As a sort of evidence that 
spring was indeed “sprung,” some of the local shooters 
have been indulging in quite a lot of talk recently. This 
finally resulted in a team shoot being arranged, A. C. 
Spencer and H. A. Shumack being paired against James 
R. Johnson and G. G. Williamson in a race at 100 blue- 
rocks per man. We have been having a large part of 
our weather here of a decidedly spring-like sort, and as 
another evidence of the fact that “delays are dangerous,”’ 
the frequent postponing of the shoot let it finally fall on 
“ground hog day,”’ which at this place proved one of the 
coldest days of the entire winter. In spite of the low 
temperature and snow gusts, a few of the faithful jour- 
neyed to the gun club grounds to see the game played. 
The race was shot down in strings of 25 targets, and 
when the end was reached, it was found that the winning 
combination was the Johnson-Williamson pair. The 
scores will best explain: 
Johnson &1, Williamson 96; total 177. 
Shumack 76, Spencer 80; total 156. 
At the conclusion of the race Spencer and Shumack 
challenged for a return match, but the winners advised 
them that they would first have to “get a reputation” 
before they could be given any more attention. The 
targets were thrown 55yds. by a Blackbird trap, and 
with the contending wind the shooting conditions were 
far from easy. Williamson broke his first 71 targets, the 
72d was dusted. HOoostrerr.

Bartimorr, Md.—The weekly shoot of the Baltimore 
Shooting Association, Saturday, Feb. 3, as usual, was 
well attended. It was zero weather, but Baltimore was 
flooded with glorious sunshine, and twenty-six shooters 
faced the traps (and the oyster roast). The day was too 
cold for out-door sports, but the men made a brave 
effort to keep their hands from getting numb, though 
it was impossible to be away from the fire even a few 
minutes, without suffering with the cold; and the scores 
were affected by the icy air. There were six events, 25 
targets each, but only two men shot the last. Near the 
oven, where the oysters were roasted, was the popular 
lounging place for the shooters. One shivering expert 
expressed the wish to be an oyster, protected from the ° 
cold by a snug little shell, with plenty of ‘liquid’ re- 
freshments inside. The score:

BattTimore, Md.—A preliminary target shoot was held 
at the Baltimore Shooting Association, Tuesday, Jan. 31, 
at 1:30 P. M. Hood Waters sent out a special notice to 
the fifteen men who were to shoot on the tri-State team 
in Wilmington, Thursday, Feb. 1, to be on hand. All 
local shooters and members of the club were invited. 
Twenty-six men participated, and were given long dis- 
tance targets to test their skill. The targets were thrown 
from 60 to 85yds., which kept down the scores; but good 
marks were made, considering the conditions. The most 
interesting event of the afternoon was a 60-target race 
between teams selected by J. Mowell Hawkins and Lester 
German, whose amateur work is well known to the 
sporting world. There were twelve men_to a team. 
Hawkins’ selection were the winners, with Hawkins high 
gun, 45. Waters second, 42. German was high gun for 
his team with 48. The day was bright and beautiful, with 
a frosty crispness in the air that made man gladshe was 
living, and could shoot. The scores: ; :

Osstninc, N. Y., Feb. 8.—Am sending herewith the 
result of the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Ossinin 
Gun Club. While the scores do not appear to good ad- 
vantage, they are fair, considering the speed of the targets 
and the job lot of shells we were obliged to use up. 3 
Event No. 3 was for the Weskora cup, use of two bar- 
rels. Figures after names denote handicap of distance. 
Ccl. Brandreth announces that there will be seven 
prizes. As this is to be a handicap and class shooting, 
everybody has a show. The return cards show that there 
will be about twenty members cut on that day. ; 
en shoot for the Weskora cup will be held on the 
th inst.
