pad form, and sent to all gun club secretaries and gun 
clubs that apply for them. The names and addresses of 
the leading sportsmen’s journals are printed on each, 
with the following sapient legend, ‘‘Keep your club to

To the Chief Scribe Frank Riehl (Chief Piasa) we are 
indebted for a copy of a neat booklet, entitled ‘‘The In- 
dians,’’ and which sets forth that it gives “A brief his- 
tory and statement of the aims and tenets of the organ- 
ization, with its constitution, by-laws, roster, records and 
memorials to departed chiefs.””’ The limit of membership 
is seventy-five, and the nine vacancies will be filled at 
the next annual meeting. The roster contains the names 
of most of the bright and shining lights of the shooting 
world. The officers are High Chief, Tom A. Marshall 
(Chief Long Talk); Vice-Chief, Will R. Crosby (Chief 
Kinnekinnic); Chief Scribe, Frank C. Riehl; Chief of 
Wampum, Chas. W. Budd (Chief Dago).

In the contest for the English Hotel cup, on Feb. 17, 
Mr. W. T. Nash made the excellent score of 93 to Mr. 
H. O. Moore’s score of 88, and this 98 was the second 
highest score ever made on the grounds of the Indian- 
apolis, Ind., Gun Club grounds for this trophy. On 
Feb. 24 he successfully defended it against Mr. H. A. 
Comstock, the challenger. The scores were 88 to 81 out 
of the 100 targets of the match. The rainy weather was 
unfavorable for high scores. We are informed that Mr. 
Nash is wearing a horseshoe and a rabbit foot, which 
logically should forthwith put him in the class with Mr. 
Fred Gilbert, Mr. W. R. Crosby and other like invin- 
cibles. Mr. Nash was challenged by Mr. H. B. Sayles 
to defend the cup, and cheerful arrangements were 
made to contest for it on Saturday of this week.

Charles Hunt Turner, a long-time resident of St. Louis, 
Mo., died in the Waldorf, New York, on Feb. 22. His 
death was caused by gastritis. About twenty-five years 
ago, he held a conspicuous place in matters of sports- 
manship, both in trap and field shooting. He was sec- 
retary of the St. Louis Kennel Club, an organization of | 
wealthy sportsmen, which established a large kennel and 
shooting grounds in the suburbs of St. Louis. He was 
one of the members who were active in the improved 
breeding of field dogs, in consequence of which the club 
purchased the pointers champion Bow and Faust, the 
latter at that time being secured at a record price of 
dog purchases in America. In the world of business 
and finance, he was best known as the president of the 
Commonwealth Trust Co., and of the Suburban Railroad, 
though identified with many other business interests of 
St. Louis. It was through his revelations that the great 
boodling scandals of St. Louis came to the knowledge of 
the then Circuit Attorney Folk, now Governor of Mis- 
souri, with the consequent vacancies in high places.

The Grand Prix Du Casino. 
Tuurspay, Feb. 8.—The thirty-fifth Grand Prix, the 
shooting for which began on Monday, was brought’ toa 
conclusion to-day. There were 170 competitors, com- 
pared with 152 last year. The weather throughout was 
favorable, with little or no wind to assist the birds, which 
by the bye, were of the best. The favorite at the start 
was the Australian, Mackintosh, who, however, began 
unpromisingly by missing his first bird. On Wednesday, 
at the close of shooting, it was decided not to call up 
those who had missed twice; and on the fouauass day 
there were forty-one left in, "of whom eight had brought 
down all their seven birds, namely, Gicaoe Vaccani, 
Count Chiericati, Signor Mono and Signor Marconcini 
(Italy), M. Moncorgé (France), Mr. Merton (Australia), 
Dom iLuro (Brazil), and Mr. Cave (England). Signor 
Grasselli, the eventual winner, had a score of 6 out of 7. 
The first incident noted in the finishing rounds was the 
retirement of Signor Marconcini, who divided the first 
and second money last year with Signor Grasselli, but 
was beaten for the trophy. He was now unfortunate 
with his twelfth bird, which, though hit with both barrels, 
managed to struggle outside. The finale arrived when 
Signor Grasselli, Signor Bordoni, and Dom Luro were 
left for the three chief prizes, in which order they fin- 
ished. This was Signor Grasselli’s third success, the 
first having been in 1902. With seventy-five of the shoot- 
ers Italians, it would have been strange had they not 
shown a bold front, and it will be observed that, with 
the exception of Dom -Luro (Brazil), who was. third, 
they secured all the. money prizes. Signor Grasselli’s 
second consecutive victory was, it goes without saying, 
highly popular. Below are the final results: 
rand Prix du Casino of 800 sovs. and trophy, added to 
a sweepstakes of 8 sovs. each, second 160 sovs. and 25 
per cent., third 80 sovs. and 20 per cent., fourth 40 sovs. 
and 15 per cent.; the balance of the entries to the win- 
ner; 12 birds, 3 at 26 and 9 at 27 metres; 170 subs.:
