bers, and with new blood being added, there will be a 
club worthy of the name, the same becoming a per- 
manent fixture. 
The Lockington, O., Gun Club held their shoot at 
clay targets Tuesday at their home grounds. Some good 
scores were made, so “‘they say,’’ and the attendance was 
good, several Pequods being among those present. 
Albion, Mich., Gun Club held a very successful busi- 
ness meeting on Friday last. The secretary reports that 
thirteen new members were added to the list. 
Last Saturday the Dallas, Pa., Gun Club met at Machell 
avenue. ‘The trophy, which was the big event of the 
day, was won by C. D. Wall, who broke 93 out of 100, 
There were twelve entries in this event, but all did not 
finish. The race was for a time a hot one between Mr. 
Wall and Mr. Shaner. Shaner made a great spurt in the 
first half, 49 to 45 for Wall; but after that Wall took a 
brace and lost but 2, while Mr. Shaner went to the bad 
with only 36 in the game sack. Scores: Wall 93, Shaner 
82, Cull 79, Norris 74, Strayle 70, Cools 37, Hess 31, 
Hart 32, Raub 4). Two 10-target events were shot, in 
which. Messrs. Wall and Strater went straight. 
During the last two weeks there have been many birds 
shot in Texas, as the season is nearing the closing 
time. It is noticed that the Texas shooters take advan- 
tage of the first of the open season, and that then there 
is a lay-off until the season is about over, when the 
activity is renewed. Game has been plentiful, and 
sportsmen have had much enjoyment in the field. 
The Lincoln, Neb., Rifle Club will soon be located in 
a home of their own, where the same will be fully 
equipped with club room and gallery. 
Not since the club was organized has there been such 
a jarge attendance as that of the Tuesday gathering ot 
the Indian Lake, Minn., Gun Club. The shooting was 
close, and Emil Erickson won out with only 1 to the 
good, with 40 out of 50. 
There will be a discussion at the business meeting of 
the Hutchinson, Kans., Gun Club regarding the club 
joining the Missouri and Kansas League of Trapshooters. 
Mr. Billy Allen is President, and he is anxious that some 
hot old-timers at the trap may be the result of the 
summer’s outing. 
Following scores were made at a shoot held at Martic 
Forge, Pa., Thursday, the main event being 100 targets: 
Ressler 85, Barr 83, Lemon 82, Phillips 75. 
Twenty or more shooters shivered in the cold wind and 
tried to hit ’em at the shoot held on a cold and cloudy 
Thursday at Ames, Ia. 
Mr. Al. Wieseman, Spokane, Wash., has formed a 
class of young men who wish to learn the art of trap- 
shooting. Thus an opportunity will be offered to those 
desiring» to learn the fascinating art to become pro- 
ficient when the best shots are not present. 
The regular monthly shoot of the Lincoln County, 
Wash., Sportsmen’s Association was held at Harrington, 
Sunday last.. Attendance fair, but the weather was _un- 
favorable. The county medal shoot, a 100-target affair, 
was won by Ellis, of Harrington, with a score of 91. 
Others well up were: Brown, of Harrington, 88; Holmes, 
Odessa, 83; Wilson, MHarrington, 8&1. Longston, of 
' master, 
Odessa, won the powder cup, with 22 from the l16yd. 
line. Following this came a team race. The club cap- 
tained by Mr. Harrington came first with 406 to Odessa’s 
392. The next regular shoot will be held Feb. 25. 
It is proposed by the Houghton, Mich., Gun Club to 
hold the largest tournament ever pulled off in the North- 
ern Peninsula during the coming summer. TIll the 
Michiganders should feel interested and assist in the 
success of the enterprise. 
Entertainment at Irwin. 
Mr. J. E. Wampter, of Irwin, Pa., the well-known 
trapshooter and furnace manufacturer, entertained thirty 
members of the Irwin Rod, Game and Gun Club, as well 
as several invited guests, at his residence on Walnut 
street, Irwin, Pa., on Thursday evening, Feb. 8. 
The dwelling was beautifully decorated with holly and 
greens, in which were hidden myriads of electric lights 
in various colors. Over the porch there was suspended 
a network, size 12 x 24 of electric bulbs in the shape of 
and to represent an American flag in correct colors and 
effects. 
The dining room was artistically decorated in white 
and green, covers being laid for forty guests at two

man who furnishes “understandings” to all the members 
of the club. Mr. Wampler presented the club with a 
handsome gold medal to be shot for on the sliding scale
