In this contest, up to Feb. 10, Maynard was in the 
lead with 89 per cent., Bonser a close second with 88.7. 
Saturday, Feb. 17 was a cloudy, gloomy day, with a 
chill in the air. Fifteen scores were shot in the Ackley 
trophy contest, Trimble and Bleh tying for high gun 
on 47, both standing at 20yds. Leever was second with 
45, and Ahlers from 20yds., broke 43. Bonser this week 
in practice, shot at 215 and missed only 9. The chal- 
lenge of Barker and Bonser has been accepted by Leever 
and Trimble, and we may expect a hot contest before 
long. A number of the Goshen Gun Club members were 
visitors to-day, and enjoyed the shooting. Gambell has 
his team for Dayton very nearly selected, and there are 
ten good ones, with a reserve of six or seven to draw on 
if necessary.

In the Ackley trophy contest up to’ Feb. 10, Bleh 
heads the list with 88, Maynard 87. 
At Cleveland. 
The eighth*contest for the Greater Cleveland amateur 
championship of northern Ohio was held on the grounds 
of the Cleveland Gun Club, on Feb. 10. Only seven 
contestants took part, and the cup was won by J. Rk. 
Blakeslee, Jr., with a score of 91 out of 100. 
In Other Places. 
The Brayton, Ia., Gun Club held one of the regular 
shoots recently. Ingvaard Bird was the good shot who 
landed the trophy with a score of 68 out of 75 targets. 
The club members are very desirous of improving their 
scores, as they look forward to the time when they will 
be enabled to shoot with the other nearby clubs. 
A number of the crack wing shots of Chester, Pa., 
gathered at the Luken’s farm on Wednesday, and for a 
couple of hours the popping of the shotgun was con- 
tinuous. Jim Cluelow and Bris Land have begun to 
“feel their oats” to the extent that they challenge any 
two men for a match. 
The sport of trapshooting is having an awakening at 
Upland, Pa., and there is much talk of organizing a gun 
club. There are already a sufficient number of “trap 
artists’ who shoot with other clubs, and the proposition 
is that of keeping the boys and sport at home. 
With the closing of the ice harvest at Pekin and 
Peoria, Ill., the Twin City Gun Club will, when the 
grass is green, resume their former activity. 
There is a prospect of something at the town of El- 
burn, Ill., in the shooting line, as there has been a new 
gun club formed there. On Saturday last there was a 
shoot held at Ponce, Ind. A number of shooters were 
present from Rossville, Ill., and they report having a 
fine afternoon’s sport. Without going into any details 
as to the scores, these same shooters wish it understood 
that they will gladly welcome another opportunity to 
meet the Ponce boys. 
Col. Veach, George Roy and Curtis Redden are the 
good shots of Rossville, Ill., who occasionally visit 
other towns and participate in trapshooting contests. 
When the Arkansas Valley shooters meet at Pueblo 
they will be offered the opportunity to shoot at doubles. 
A three-man team event will be interesting to the club in 
the valley. This club is a wonder for growth, and 
already it has been found necessary to change the handi- 
caps of the members, so fast has been the improvement 
in the scores. 
Wednesday last was the day set apart for the dance 
held by the Calumet and Hecla Rod and Gun Club. 
The home talent furnished the music, and as there was 
a big crowd present, all pronounced the dance a success. 
Although the winter has been a mild one throughout 
the Central States, most of the Northern States have been 
visited with some severe snows. For instance, the storm 
was so great on last Sunday at Houghton, Mich., thar 
the shoot was postponed. 
The Macksville, Kans., Gun Club held its first annual 
shoot last week. The contestants were quite interested 
in the prizes, as there were eighteen all told. 
Informality was the rule, and there was much merrti- 
ment on the occasion of the annual gathering of the 
members of the Green Bay, Wis., Gun Club, which met 
last Tuesday evening at Maccabee Hall. 
The old Crawfordsville, Ind., Gun Club lately held a 
shoot that should appeal to other clubs. The entrance 
in the 10 and 15 target events was 60 and 90 cents, and 
the money division was on the Jack Rabbit system. 
The town of Milton is the smallest town that has had 
the distinction of giving the Pennsylvania State shoot, 
nevertheless, there is much get-up in the club. There 
will be three days of target shooting and one of live 
birds. It is expected that on May 15, 16, 17 and 18, 
there will be 300 shooters present. 
The Center Square Gun Club, Norristown, Pa., held a 
. shoot, with perfect weather and a good attendance, Sat- 
urday last.

SOL GUNS AND SHELLS 
The duck shooting season being here again, we are prompted to 
remind sportsmen that the best combination for this exhilerating 
sport, as well as for field or trap shooting, is a Winchester 
Repeating Shotgun and Winchester Factory Loaded Shells. 
Because Winchester Shotguns are strong 
shooters, strongly constructed and so inexpensive that you won’t 
be afraid to use one when the briny spray is. flying. 
shells, Winchester Factory Loaded brands are thoroughly water- 
proof and loaded to give the greatest accuracy, penetration and 
You can get them loaded with practically any 
combination of powder, shot and wadding that you prefer. 
try this combination of gun and shell and see if we are not right.

At the next meeting they are looking forward to a good 
time, anticipating many Chicago shooters to swell the 
crowd, 
R. D. Kline. president, and Guy C. Lakin, secretary, 
of the Streator, Ill., Gun Club are arranging a series of 
shoots for the club prizes for the coming summer. 
D. C. Beggs & Co., Columbus, O., are now showing a 
handsome aluminum and silver cigar case presented to 
the gun club by an old shotgun firm, This will be one 
of the prizes for the shoot to be held May 10. 
The gun clubs from Aurora, Giltner and Central City 
met at Marquette, Neb., to contest for the Hamilton 
county trophy. F. D. Young was the best man on this 
occasion. It has now become somewhat of a family 
affair, as his brother won previously. 
Last Sunday C. A. Tuttle, of Anaconda, Mont., one 
of the old school, shot in fine form, and among other 
good scores made 14 out of 15, reverse pulls. f 
With a handicap of four and shooting under difficulties, 
Peter Hughes broke 21 targets on Sunday and won the 
trophy at the Pueblo, Colo., meeting. Hughes is a new 
man, and on January he started out with 4 out of 25. 
One of the oldest gun clubs in Kansas is still doing 
business at Abilene. You have heard of the days when 
Wild Bill was marshal? Well, Bill Eicholtz is still shoot- 
ing there, though he never was wild, as he is an under- 
taker. At 50 targets last Friday, Bill scored 37. : 
One of the Interstate Association tournament trophies 
will be given to the best man at the North Dakota State 
tournament, to be held at Fargo, June 13. Mr. C. 
Robbins, one of the oldest shooters, is at the helm, and 
he will steer it straight. 
Team shoot at Ottawa, Ill., on the Rainmakers’ 
grounds, at 25 targets each: Gilmer 17, Kneussell 28,

Another shoot was held Tuesday at Stanwood, Ia., in 
which Ernest Baughman carried off the honors with 24 
out of 25 targets. 
The first shoot of the Canon City, Colo., trap club was 
held last Sunday for the gold medal. The attendance 
was not so good as expected, owing to high wind, though 
fair scores were made. Joseph Ball won, with 20 out of 
25. He will be handicapped when he shoots in March. 
The conditions are that the one winning the most times 
during the year shall be the owner. Scores: Fred 
Moore 19, Whort Pegg 19, Dr. Ashley 17, W._B. Waldo 
17, A. A. Parker 15, W. F. Payne 15, T. M. Harding 15,
