WESTERN TRAP. 
Cincinnati, O., Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O.,. March 3.—Owing to the bad weather 
which prevailed here very few shooters came out to the 
club. The weather was threatening and a perfect gale 
blew during the whole day, hence the poor scores. May- 
nard’s score, shooting from the 20yd. mark, is deserving 
of a great deal of credit, considering all, Maynard being 
the oldest member of the club. 
The boys are all practicing for the coming team races 
between Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati gun clubs. 
A good time is anticipated by all.

Ohio Trap Notes. 
The Lewisburg Gun Club held its regular cup shoot 
on Feb, 22, at 25 targets. The attendance was good. 
C. W. Matthews and R. Tice tied for first on 22, and 
Tice won the shoot-off. R. Ruff was second with 21. 
The club is planning a tournament for July 13, and 
will put in a lot of practice before that date. 
Thirteen members attended the last shoot of the Glen 
Airy Gun Club. The scores were hardly up to the usual 
mark. La Boiteaux headed the list with 70 out of 100. 
The holiday shoot of the Cleveland Gun Club turned 
out to be of tournament proportions, forty-nine shooters 
taking part, many of whom were from out of town. The 
trade was well represented by Messrs. J. R. Taylor, 
D. D. Gross and R. O. Heikes. The programme called 
for 150 targets, and thirteen shot through. Blakeslee and 
Taylor broke 189 each, 92.6 per cent.; Heikes 138, Gross 
185, R. Joseph 132, Tamblyn 125, Chamberlin 122, Hop- 
kins 115, Ledgett 112, Hull 108, Ellis 107, C. Drake 105, 
G. Drake 97, Stanley and Bailey got 91 each out of 100. 
The others shot at 100 or less, their scores running from 
81 per cent. to 50 per cent. 
A report from Bloomington, IIll., says the ducks are 
flying a month earlier than usual, on account of the 
mild weather. The season promises to be the best for 
many years. 
Some good shooting was done at the holiday shoot of 
the Columbus Gun Club. In the holiday event at 100 
targets eleven men took part. Dutch was high with 
93. Losh, of St. Paris, 90. Buchanan was high in the 
regular events with 86 out of 100. Twenty men took 
part, half of them shooting through. Saturday, Feb. 24, 
was a delightful day for shooting, but the attendance 
was not large. In the contest for the Sporting Goods 
Co. trophy, Rhoads was high with 47 out of 50. In the 
other events he was high man with 153 out of 165. 
* The Crescent Rod and Gun Club, of Columbus, which 
was organized in 1876, took a day at the trap on Feb. 22, 
on the grounds of the Columbus Gun Club, and though 
some of the members have shot at the trap for a number 
of years, very fair scores were made.’ Eighteen members 
and friends shot at 50 targets each, Cain and Wentz 
tying for high on 41. Selbach was a close second with 
40, and Weinman and Pancake tied on 39 for third place. 
Lacey got 37. 
The Greenville Gun Club will hold shoots on the first 
and third Mondays in March and April, and on every 
Monday thereafter until the close of the season. The 
club expects a good attendance at its tournament in 
May, as a liberal amount of added money will be offered. 
_ The first of a series of tri-city team shoots will be held 
on the Rohrer’s Island Gun Club grounds, Dayton, on 
March 21. The Rohrer’s Islanders will provide their 
usual generous entertainment for the shooters and their 
friends. 
There are to be thirty weekly shoots on the programme 
of the Rohrer’s Island Gun Club, beginning April 4 and 
closing on Oct. 24. The club medal will be shot for 
on the first Wednesday of each month, the winner to 
hold the medal and title of club champion until the first 
Wednesday of the next month. Handicap same as last 
year, extra targets to shoot at. The members are to 
be classified according to their averages in the club 
contests. Three certificates will be issued each week, 
calling for 50 cents each and payable by the club treas- 
urer. One of these certificates will be given to the high 
gun in each of the three classes, A, B, and C, in the 
club contest, which will be the first event each Wednes- 
day, 25 targets, with handicap of extra targets. It is 
expected that this system will work well and increase 
the interest of the members. Many of the older shooters 
will remember that the certificate plan worked to the 
satisfaction of the members of the old Buckeye Gun 
Club, when they had grounds north of Grand avenue, 
in Dayton View. 
McConnell, of Osborne, a well-known trapshooter, and 
one of the topnotchers in this locality, starts on a trip 
to Oklahoma, but he says he’ll sure be back for the 
team shoot at Dayton on March 21, 
A meeting of the Dayton Gun Club has been called 
by President C. W. Sander, to consider the question 
a building a club house on the grounds south of the 
city. It is contemplated to erect a handsome two-story 
building, arranged to promote the comfort of the 
shooters, 
In Other Places. 
There will be a new trophy shoot at Watson’s Park,

WINCHESTER 

32 and .35 Caliber Self-Loading Rifles 
The Winchester Model 1905 Self-Loading Rifle is not cumbersome, 
complicated and unsightly like most other self-loading firearms, 
The Winchester self- 
loading system permits rapid shooting with great accuracy and 
but a simple, handsome, well-balanced gun. 
on account of the novelty and ease of its operation adds much 
to the pleasure of rifle shooting either at target or game. 
For 
certain kinds of hunting where the quarry is generally shot on 
the run, the Winchester Self-Loading Rifle is particularly well 
adapted. The .32 and .35 caliber cartridges that the Model 1905 
handles are of the modern smokeless powder type and give 
excellent penetration and great shocking effect on animal tissue.
