Chas. Lamm has long been known as a trapshooting 
promoter at Attica, Ind. Shooters will be pleased to 
learn that he will give a tournament about the middle of

Hotel Lithia property. 
_ Vicksburg, Miss., was noted for a shooting town dur- 
ing the Civil War, and for a number of years it has 
kept up the game, though nothing but innocent clay 
birds are the targets. The wideawake club will hold a 
shoot there soon, open to all amateurs, yet only Mis- 
sissippi and Louisiana shooters are eligible to the 
trophies, which are a part of the programme. 
Stanley Rhoades, of Columbus, is in good shooting 
trim this season. He won the club trophy last week 
with 48 out of 50. Smith made 42, Weber 39, Werner 38, 
Gross 46, Fishinger 40, Shattuck 41. 
The Rockford, Ill., team met the Monroe, Wis., 
team and were defeated in a team contest. 
Thos. W. Armstrong, president of the Hubbell Rod 
and Gun Club, Linden Lake, Mich., has presented the 
club with a very pretty medal. This club has good 
grounds and a complete outfit of traps and houses that 
will enable the members to enjoy their weekly outings 
whenever the weather is suitable. 
The Rich Hill, Mo., Gun Club held election of of- 
ficers last Thursday, with the following result: Charles 
Tourtillout, President; John L. Garrison, Vice-President;

tary. The club has many members. While target shoot- 
ing is indulged in, the primary object is that of field 
hunting. Large tracts of land have been leased, and 
any law-abiding citizen who will strictly observe the rules 
may become a member by the payment of $2. 
Columbus Gun Club. 
THE last day of March at the Columbus, O., Gun 
Club was not on the going out on the order of the 
lamb. The wind was very high, and a cold air that 
cut in close to the bone. A nice little crowd of the 
faithful were out, and with a few bright spring days, the 
shooting will take a big spurt. The grounds look fine 
since the snow left, and the grass is peeping out. H. 
E :Smith broke 25 straight, a most elegant work for a 
day with conditions as Saturday afternoon. D. D. Gross 
broke 24. Mr. Harry H. Carr, of Dayton, and his 
daughters were most welcome visitors at the club Friday 
afternoon. Mr. Carr is an enthusiast, and is a member 
of the Dayton Club. The Columbus Gun Club rifle team 
defeated Camp Chase Friday evening at Columbus Gun

Trapshooters’ League of Lancaster County. 
LEBANON, Pa., March 28.—The Avon Gun Club held 
its quarterly shoot this day on their grounds at Deffen- 
baugh’s Hotel. 
It was fairly well attended. A better day could not 
have been expected. The shooting was good, especiaty 
the first squad, with the old war horse, Sheriff-to-be 
Sammy Trafford, who was very much surprised to have 
third place to take along home, but a better loser 
never called pull. 
The race between Ressler, Lancaster and Hansell, of 
Lebanon, was an exhibition worth seeing. Ressler led 
off the programme by missing his first three targets, 
while Hansell went 30 straight; but by sheer pluck ana 
good judgment Ressler gathered a straight run of 53, 
which put him two targets in the lead. Hansell was at 
his best, and kept breaking target after target. It was 
a beautiful race, with another run of 38 straight. Ressler 
was going some, too, and when the last shot was fired 
in the regular programme of 165 targets, we found 
Hansell three targets in the lead. 
At this point Trafford, not being satisfied with third 
place, suggested we shoot two more 15-bird events, and 
the batt'e was renewed. Fessler went straight in both 
events, while Hansell lost fcur, which put Ressler one to 


the good. It was a fine race and a hard one on the 
shooters, but it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. 
Two events at doubles were shot off, and both 
Hansell and Trafford had the pleasure of winn'ng out 
ahead of Ressler. Trafford broke 27, Hansell 24, and 
Ressler 21 out of 30. 
The office was in charge of Alfred Miller, and he did 
the work nobly, as did Beamsdeffer and Goodman, who 
ran the shoot. Scores as follow:
