Lees Summit Gun Club. 
Lees Summit, Mo., May 26.—The annual spring tour- 
nament of the Lees Summit Gun Club, which came off 
here as previously announced, was a success as far as 
could be expected, twenty-five shooters being in attend- 
ance, sixteen shooting through the entire programme. 
The trade was represented by Chris. Gottlieb, Jack Gil- 
lespie, and Louis Erhardt. Shooters were present from 
Oh aon Hill, Greenwood, Blue Springs and Kansas City, 
oO. 
The programme originally consisted of 150 targets, but 
on account of the late arrival of the Kansas City boys, 
the preliminary event of 25 targets was discontinued, so 
the shooters could catch an early train. Targets were 
thrown from a set of expert traps, aranged on the Ser- 
geant system. J. S. Thomas, of Pleasant Hill, Mo., was 
high man, with an average of 96.8; Chris. Gottlieb was 
second high man with an average of 96 per cent.; J. S. 
Davis, of Lees Summit, Mo., and W. A. Smith, of 
Greenwood, Mo., were tied for third place with an average 
of 86.4 per cent. Five other shooters who shot the en- 
tire programme made averages of 80 per cent. or better. 
The scores were good, considering the very high wind 
which blew quartering across the traps. Jack Gillespie 
and Jack Elliott, of Kansas City, Mo.; had charge of the 
office, which is equivalent to saying it was well done.

The division of money was by Rose and Chicago 
systems. Everybody seemed to be well pleased with 
same. 
Come again, boys, we will try and make it pleasant for 
ou. 
The high wind seemed to have little effect on Thomas 
and Gottlieb. 
Dead Shot Lou served a new brand of smokeless 
powder at lunch time, which was highly appreciated by 
the management and all present. , 
Eyerybody present reports a good time, and promise 
to be present at our next annual.

Benevolence. 
A very graceful act of the California Powder Com- 
pany, the principal Pacific Coast representative of the 
DuPont Powder Company, was consummated when the 
California Powder Company refused to accept payment 
for dynamite used by the city authorities during the 
recent conflagration. 
Mayor Schmitz asked the company’s manager for the 
bill due from the city, which, amounting to $4,000, was 
sent in. The Mayor promptly o.k.’d it and sent the bill 
back with proper instructions for collection in due course, 
The following day the bill was returned to the Mayor 
fully receipted, with a note stating that the dynamite 
used would be donated to the city. This shows that the 
powder corporation is not to be outdone by any other 
in generosity to our stricken city. 
When the supply of dynamite in this city ran out it will 
be remembered how the manager of the company sent 
an order by a Government tug to the Point Pinole and 
other magazines to give the soldiers all the dynamite 
that was needed. But for this prompt action who knows 
but that there would have been but few houses left in 
San Francisco. 
In connection with the above, we will also mention that 
the DuPont officials early sent reassuring messages from 
Wilmington to their employees in this city. These words 
of cheer were backed up by something more substantial 
just as soon as possible after the calamity, and none of 
the DuPont employees here were more than temporarily, 
and briefly at that, inconvenienced. A number of the 
clerical force in this city lost their homes and all they 
contained.—Breeder and Sportsman. 
Analostan Gun Club. 
WasHINGTON, D. C., May 3 0.—The Analostan Gun Club 
held a very successful shoot on Decoration Day. The 
day was beautiful, and conditions were such as to make 
good scores possible. The programme was shot under 
the sliding handicap system, and this accounts largely 
for some of the ups and downs of the shooters. Follow- 
ing are the scores in detail:

“259 Straight” —By An Amateur! 
Winchester Factory Loaded Shells seem to be work- 
ing up to a climax, which will be reached when they win 
the Grand American Handicap on June 21. 
For weeks 
the most important winnings have been recorded with 
Winchester Factory Loaded Shells, and now comes the 
wonderful score of J. A. Flick, of Ravenna, O., made at 
the Tuscarawas Gun Club Tournament in Canal Dover, 
O., May 25-26, where he made a stra ght run of 235 
targets, his score for the second day being a clean one of 
200 out of 200. 
He used 
WINCHESTER 
Factory Loaded “Leader” Shells 
This would be honor enough for one week, but it isn’t 
all; for at the Illinois State Shoot, held at Bloomington, 
May 23-25, Winchester Factory Loaded Shells won first 
and second professional averages and first and second 
amateur averages, as well as many of the special events. 
You shooters who are going to the Grand American 
Handicap owe it to yourselves to shoot the shells that 
will assure your winning, for if merit counts it is practi- 
cally certain that Winchester Factory Loaded Shells are 
The Shells that will Again Win 
the Grand American Handicap

Topeka Gun Club. 
Topeka, Kan., May 26.—Herewith are scores made by 
Topeka Gun Club at the first regular shoot held this sea- 
son. Hereafter shoots will be held each Tuesday. The 
members tried some shells loaded with the new Dead 
Shot smokeless, and like it very much, it being quick 
and clean, and getting the birds with great regularity. 
Lou Erhardt, known and dear to the heart of every 
Western shooter, is interesting the boys in this new 
powder, and he surely seems to make good his claims 
for it. The scores, at a total of 50 targets shot at, follow:
