Denver Trap. 
Denver, Colo., March 28.—There will be an interstate 
shoot held in Denver, Colo., the week of Aug. 20, with 
$3,000 added money; $1,000 will be added to the amateur 
class. Shooters will pay an entrance of $5 for 200 targets, 
with nothing additional for sweepstakes. This will in- 
clude shooters making 88 per cent. or less. Those making 
more than 88 per cent. will be classed as expert ama- 
teurs, for which there will be $2,000 added. Everybody 
shooting from l6yds. 
On Friday there will be a 100-target handicap race, 
for the Denver Post trophy (open to all). This is a 
challenge trophy, and is valued at $250. Any one chal- 
lenging, puts up $5; loser pays for targets. ‘The citizens 
of Denver are very enthusiastic over this shoot, and 
$8,000 could have been obtained as easily as $3,000. 
Great credit is due Mr. A. E. McKenzie and Mr. Chas. 
E. Younkman, for arousing such keen interest in this 
shoot, and it is expected three or four hundred shooters 
will attend. It will doubtless be the largest shoot of 
1906, with such a tempting amount of added money—and 
all for amateurs. 
Three cars filled with shooters came in from the 
lakes, Sunday. Judging from appearances, few ducks

uck, > 
Mr. W. C. Howard, manager of the E. I. DuPont Co., 
Mr. Wilkins, and Mr. Wetherill, of New York; Mr. 
Keith and Mr. Spaith went to Curtis Lake (twenty miles 
from Denver) Saturday, ducking. They killed thirty 
ducks each, and beauties they were. Barr Lake, noted 
for fine shooting, is still frozen, and some disappointed 
gunners returned with empty game bags. 
Mr. Hood Waters, of Ba'timore, and Mr. Wm. Bow- 
man, of Denver, went to Fort Lupton, Saturday night, 
put up at the one primitive hotel the town boasts, and 
when the gray dawn was breaking, started out in quest 
of ducks. They walked to Platte River, a sluggish 
stream, bordered with reeds, and after wading through 
marshes for several hours, spied a_ blue-winged teal 
coming down the river. In the twinkling of an eye, Mr. 
Waters stopped him, Aud it must have been»a pleasure 
to have that duck fall dead after walking and wading 
many miles. They heard several shots up the stream, 
and eight ducks came down, as if an artillery charge 
was after them. Mr. Waters killed the leader, Mr. 
Bowman brought down the next, and the third went in 
Mr. Waters’ game bag. Then followed many weary 
hours of tramping, and not a duck to shoot. Many large 
flocks were seen, but they went to the lakes. In the 
evening the sportsmen reached Denver. They had cov- 
ered over sixteen mils, had four ducks and many stories 
of “tthe might have been.” 
Mr. and Mrs. Jas. T. Skelly, of Wilmington, Del., 
spent Wednesday and Thursday in Denver, en route to 
Salt Lake City, and California, where they will remain 
for ten days. A SoctaL TRAMP.

Provipencr, R. I., March 28.—The second shoot of 
the newly organized Providence Game Preservation and 
Gun Club, held March 24, was a very successful affair. 
Despite weather conditions, which were wet, snow-cov- 
ered grounds, and a chilly air, there were present more 
than fifty shooters, and thirty-three of them faced the 
traps. 
The gun club was organized Feb. 17, 1906, and the 
following officers were elected: President, Wm. Mon- 
teith; Field Captain, M. E. Johnson; Secretary_ and 
Treasurer, A. B. Sampson; Executive Committee, J. H. 
Flanagan, P. L. Voelker, M. E. Johnson, W. Sutherland, 
T. M. O’Riley, including the president and secretary. 
It was voted to acquire the houses and grounds of 
the B. and S. Gun Club, and as everything was ready 
for a shoot, it was voted to hold one Washington’s Birth- 
day. This shoot was attended by seventeen shooters, 
The shoot held March 24 was the second of the season, 
and was held in honor of Mr. Wm. H. Heer and Frank 
E. Butler. There was also present, Mr. Hearne, who 
did very good work with his pump gun, 
As will be seen by the scores of Griffith, Bain, John- 
son, Voelker, Grover, Lambert and Flanagan, we have 
a club with as good shots as any club in the country. 
The club promises to have a very successful career, as 
it is supported by some of the prominent representative 
business men of the city, and is to be first-class in every 
particular. There is to be no sweepstake shooting, which 
has been the cause of the downfall of so many promising 
clubs. Slow birds will be thrown, in order to give the 
new shooters a chance to break them. As soon as the 
weather is settled, it is proposed to have weekly shoots 
on Saturday afternoons. The scores follow:

“Yes indeed,” said young Kallow, “I’m raising a 
mustache; been nursing it for a month. Never: raised 
one before, y’ know, and I’m rather curious about what 
color it will be when it’s full grown.” 
“Well,” replied Miss Peppery, “at that rate it 
probably be gray.’”’—Catholic Standard and Times,
