THE members who on March 11 shot their scores in the

For once St. Patrick’s day was pleasant, and after a 
week of cloudy, stormy weather, the sight of the sun 
was especially acceptable. 
In the Ackley trophy event R. Trimble was first with 
49. Ralph was going some to-day, missing only 1 out of 
100 targets, and making a run of 47 in the trophy event. 
Doe, of Maysville, Ky., was a visitor. He did some 
shooting, and urged every one to attend the tournament 
at Maysville on May 3, the Blue Grass championship. 
Kemper, of Mt. Stirling, was another visitor, and will 
always receive a warm welcome. The ever popular Du- 
Pont representative and good shot, T. J. Skelly, was with 
us to-day. From here he goes to San Francisco for a 
stay of a couple of weeks. As a windup for the day 12 
pairs of doubles were shot at. Ahlers led with 20 breaks, 
Skelly 19, Gambell 18, Bleh 14, and Williams 10. 
Standing at 20yds., Maynard broke 48 out of 50, a mark 
which some of the younger ones would like to equal. 
Ackley’s friends will be glad to know that he is improv- 
ing rapidly, and is only waiting for a pleasant day to 
take an outing. He will receive a royal welcome when 
he comes to the club again. H. Van Ness (Don Minto) 
is reported to be seriously ill with pneumonia. At one 
time Don Minto was very regular in his attendance at 
the club shoots, and was a valuable addition to a team; 
but for the past several months business cares have 
forced him to lay aside his gun. We shall be glad to 
see him around once more. If business interferes with 
shooting, cut out the business, or at least enough of it 
so that a little health-giving sport may be enjoyed. 
On March 30 there will be a team race at Ryland, Ky., 
50 birds per man, between Gambell and H. Osterfelt and 
D. Pohlar and G. Osterfelt. 
Ryland Tournament. 
Ryland, Ky.—The Kentucky Fishing and Shooting Club 
held a three-day tournament on their grounds at Ryland, 
March 13, 14 and 15. If the club had made a special ef- 
fort to select poor weather, they could not have hit upon 
three worse days for outdoor sport, and, as a consequence 
the attendance was cut very materially. Those who at- 
tended, however, had a good time, and did not regret 
going. Arthur Gambell managed the shoot, and every 
detail was well looked after. Col. Bob. West (Roanoke) 
had general supervision, and played the part of the 
genial host to perfection, as he always does. 
Among the out-of-town shooters present who stayed 
the three days were Messrs. King, Kelsey, Bennett, 
Henry, Pontefract and Burns, of Pittsburg; Voris and 
Dr. ,Moore, of Crawfordsville, Idaho; E. Tripp, of In- 
dianapolis; Stan. Rhoads, of Columbus; T. Clay and 
Bristol, of Austerlitz, Ky. 
Lunch was served each day. On the last day the club’s 
old chef, Comos, had charge of things, and spread the 
good things, which he knows so well how to prepare, in 
the house on the shooting grounds. 
The birds, under fair weather conditions, would have 
been extra fast ones, but the cold and the drizzling rain 
on the first day made many of them slow in starting. 
Arthur Gambell and R. Trimble acted as referees, and 
Fred Dreihs attended to the office work. Gambell’s 
Colonel and Penn, well-known to live-bird shooters in 
this locality, were at their best as retrievers. 
In addition to the regular programme events, one 
miss-and-out was shot. Clay shot straight in the 15- 
bird event, and six straight scores were made in the 
---bird event. In the miss-and-out Burns, Rhoads. and 
Willie tied on 16 and divided. The scores: 
Event No. 1, 7 birds, $5 entrance, one money for every 
four entries, high guns, 50, 30, 20: King (30) 7, Kelsey

Second Day. 
The weather on the second day was an improvement. 
There was neither rain nor snow, but it was cloudy, with 
a cold wind, disagreeable in every way. 
Two events were scheduled, one at 7 birds and the 
other at_50 birds, for a handsome trophy, offered by the 
‘club. Kelsey and Tripp tied for it on 49,.and in the 
shoot-off the former won, killing 4 birds to Tripp’s 2. 
An extra event at 5 birds and two miss-and-outs ended 
the day’s sport. The scores: 
Event No. 2, Kentucky Fishing and Shooting Club 
trophy, 50 birds, entrance $25, one money for every four 
entries, high guns. Purse divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent.:

Third Day. 
The weather was no better than on Wednesday. Seyv- 
eral of the Cincinnati shooters went home on the pre- 
vious evening, so that the attendance to-day was smaller. 
Some change was made in the programme. The day 
started with a 25-bird race. Three 10-bird races and three 
miss-and-outs were also shot. Event No. 2 was an inno- 
vation which proved popular. This was a miss-and-out, 
but instead of. the usual $2 entrance, birds extra, each 
shooter paid 25 cents for every bird shot at, and an 
additional 25 cents for each bird killed. This amount 
constituted the purse. Rhoads and Bristol led with 14 
kills each, and divided. 
Event No. 1, 25 birds, $15 entrance, class shooting, 60 
and 40 per cent.: Clay (32) 28, Bristol (29) 28, Ahlers (29) 
23, Hake (27) 28, Rhoads (82) 22, Herman (27) 22, Yeiser

In Other Places. 
The gun club at Trinidad, Colo., have moved all their 
accoutrements to what the members hope will be per- 
manent quarters, on the north side of the Lake. Houses 
for men and traps have been erected. 
The East End Gun Club, of Toledo, O., will start out 
about the middle of March with their spring and summer 
order of practice shooting events. 
Away back in the days of the old Ditmar powder 
there was something doing in the shooting line at 
Leavenworth, Kans., and now that about thirty years have 
passed away, it is pleasant to note that Clint Hawley, a 
bank cashier, lately won at a shoot held there with 97 
out of 100. 
Some of the winners at the Penn Gun Club, Norris- 
town, Pa., last year shoots, in points, were: Denison 151,

95, Bean 80, F. Gross 70, Plover 66, M. H. Gross 64,

dent, Edward S. Gleam; Vice-Presidents, Charles Mott 
and Frank P. Cain; Secretary, H. C. Bonham; Treasurer, 
Walter Gruel; Captain, John Pfenninger; Assistant Cap- 
tain, J. Gribble. This club is now very prosperous, and 
as they have seventy members, there will be an inter- 
county shoot held this year, same as last, composed of 
Lancaster, Pequea, Libitz, Columbia, Elizabethtown and 
possibly some others. Sure the old Bob White Club will 
do all possible to make the coming season a success.

pose turning loose in the neighborhood.

vited to shoot, which they did, under such trying circum- 
stances as to weather that the scores are not published, 
as_a favor to them as well as all the other participants. 
Hahn and Miller shot against Kline and Ritter at 
Reading, Pa., the wager being $50, and each-shot at 15 
birds, and as each team killed 24, the tie was shot off, 
with Miller and Ritter going straight and winning. 
Good news comes from Ottawa, IIJ., that most of the 
business men there will unite with the gun club, which 
is now forming. Some large tournaments were held 
there in the good old days, when wild pigeons were used 
at the traps. 
The Pikens Rod and Gun Club has been organized at 
Chicago, with Frank Smith, Matthew Zoller and Chas.

The opening gun was fired the past week at Des 
Moines, Ia., as the first of the State tournaments was 
held there. If the weather in the corn and hog State 
was anything like it was in New York, then there was no 
probability of any scores of 307 straight being made. | 
Chas. Spencer made a trip to Colorado and shot with 
John W. Garrett at the Broodmoore grounds. Charlie 
has still his *‘heye like han heagle,’’ as he lined out 288

got 79. B. Rich, at the same time, took only 32 of the 
revolving flying saucers.

Five members of the Monongahela, Pa., Gun Club 
faced the traps at New Eagle on Saturday and enjoyed 
the afternoon, blazing away at clay targets. Hershaw, 
Abbott, McKee and Rodman were trying out new guns, 
which must partially account for low scores. Results: 
Henshaw shot at 75, broke 64; Bucks, 75, 58; Abbott 75, 
47; McKee 50, 23; Rodman 30, 18.

tend a good time. 
Owing to high winds Sunday last at Pueblo, Colo., 
when the gun club faced the traps, the scores were not 
good, yet the attendance was good, despite the fact that 
they were compelled to put up their guns early in the 
forenoon. 
Another interesting shoot was held Saturday at Up- 
land, Chester, Pa. Four cracks were out and shot at 
targets; scores: Lord 41, Swallow 37, Cluelow 48, 
Burney 39. 
That great trio of shooters, known the world over as 
Tobacco Bill, Chief Much Talk, and the Talkative Cy- 
cloné Billy, were not present at the Iowa State shoot

season by the Badger Gun Club, at Janesville, Wis.

owing to the bad weather experienced at their last shoot, 
and will hold two more tournaments during the coming
