“Uncle Ben” 
OsstninGc, N. Y., July 6. 
tion has just been received 
of Wolcott, N. Y.: 
faithful and good old 
Catchpole. 
The following communica- 
from Mr. E. A Wadsworth, 
regret to write you that our 
man, Uncle Ben Catchpole, died 
yesterday, July 4. ‘In Uncle Ben, the New York State 
Association’ loses one of its faithful and best members. 
It is indeed with a sad heart that I advise you of 
Uncle Ben’s death.” i 
Uncle Ben Catchpole has been called the “Grand Old 
Man” of the New York State Sportsmen’s Association, 
which indeed he was. In all of the forty-nine years 
of the Association conventions he has missed by three 
roll calls, including that of this year, he having been 
too ill to attend. What a record that is for a follower of 
our premier sport. Who is there who has attended these 
tournaments and has not had a talk with Uncle Ben? 
I doubt if there is one, especially in later years. ‘It was 
the favored ones who were permitted to monopolize 
enough of Uncle Ben’s time to glean from him reminis- 
cences of the live-bird days. George Kirk struck a 
popular chord at the Syracuse convention this year, when 
he proposed to buy a loving cup for Uncle 
popular subscription. All those who had a chance to 
add their mite to that fund will take satisfaction in 
knowing that they contributed toward one of the greatest 
pleasures he had experienced in years. May all men ot 
the sterling character of Benjamin Catchpole live to such 
an age; and the world would be better for it.

Izv is with the

which sad 
most profound 
regret that we have to 
death of F. C. 
Percival, Esq., President 
Virginia State Sportsmen’s Association, 
p event took place this Friday morning at 
Cambridge Springs, Pa., where he had gone less than a 
week ago for the benefit of his health. \We have learned 
none of the particulars regarding his demise as yet, but 
it has been generally understood for some time that he 
was suffering from the dreaded Bright’s disease, and 
passing away regarded as ‘only a question of a 
y short time; but the news that he had actually en- 
d upon his last iong sleep was received by his host 
sincere friends with feelings of great sorrow. Mr. 
Percival was in every sense a polished gentleman, a 
thorough sportsman, kind-hearted and true, held in the 
highest esteem by all who had the pleasure of his ac- 
quaintance, and his place in the hearts of West Virginia 
sportsmen will be hard to fill. He has, from his early 
boyhood, been a great lover of dog and gun, and no one 
€njoyed a tramp over the fields behind a good dog more 
than he. When the West Virginia State Sportsmen’s 
Association was organized, in his office in the city of 
Parkersburg, on the evening of Sept. 14, 1898, he was 
unanimously elected to the office of president, which 
position he has retained, without opposition ever since, 
being re-elected at our recent annual at McMechen, May 
23. At his home in St. Marys, where he has had his 
office for several years, he was prominent in promoting 
the art of trapshooting, being secretary-treasurer and tlic 
leading spirit in the Union Gun Club of that place, and 
seldom missed a Saturday afternoon’s practice. Very 
few tournaments have been held in this vicinity during 
the last ten or twelve years that “Cole,” as he was 
familiiarly known to the boys, was not present. He 
never missed our State shoots, and always shot the en- 
tire programme through, holding his own with the 
‘town 
best of them. His health, however, would not permit 
him to take part in but a few events, including the 
State championship event, at our recent annual at Mc- 
Mechen, much to his regret; ‘but he remained the entire 
three days, and enjoyed seeing those who were able, break 
targets. 
From what we can learn, he was-about sixty years of 
age. While no arrangements have been announced as 
yet regarding his funeral, it will in all probability take 
place at his former Michigan home, under the auspices 
of the Knights Templar, of which organization he was 
also a prominent member. We can ill-afford to lose from 
our ranks such noble characters. Peace to his ashes.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Wasuincton, D C., July 5.—The Analostan Gun Club 
of this city held a very successful shoot on July 4. 
Visitors were present from the Eastern Branch Gun 
Club, the Takoma Park Club, and Messrs. Walker and 
France, of the Baltimore Shooting Association, were 
with us. Messrs. Moxley and Steele, of Baltimore, came 
over, but were misdirected to the grounds, and did not 
reach them until the shooting was over. Mr. Olsmith, 
of Guthrie, Oklahoma, was in town and spent the day 
with the boys. He proved himself to be a royal good 
fellow, and the members enjoyed entertaining him. 
The scores are given in detail below. The first six 
events were sweepstake affairs; the seventh and eighth 
events were for merchandise prizes, the regulars being 
handicapped to 20yds. The ninth, tenth, eleventh, 
twelfth and thirteenth events were for practice.
