Sherbrooke Gun Club- 
SHERBROOKE, P. Q.—The Sherbrooke Gun _ Club’s 
twelfth annual tournament took place on Dominion Day, 
and while not as largely attended as had been antici- 
pated, proved a very successful shoot. 
Numbers whom the Sherbrookes had met when at- 
tending shoots at neighboring cities, and who had prom- 
ised to be present, failed to turn up for one reason or 
another; but there were shooters here from Ottawa, 
Montreal, Toronto, Quebec. We also enjoyed the pres- 
ence of. Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, and Mr. H. H. Stevens, 
both of whom, of course, took an active but ‘‘penniless”’ 
part in the programme. 
The day was cloudy, with occasional sunshine, and 
only one slight shower that in no wise interfered with 
the game; but there was something about the light or 
something else that seemed to put a check on high 
scores, and no one seemed to be at their very best. 
The targets were thrown from a Dickey trap, which 
worked perfectly, and were none of the easiest to hit. 
Two or three of the home men were disgusted with 
|their scores, and went home vowing to “never, never 
shoot any more.” ‘They’ll get over it, all right. 
There was a good list of prizes in the merchandise 
-event, 10 hard birds, at 20yds., and competition was 
'keen. Lots of fun was had when the ties were decided 
by miss-and-out. Everything went smoothly, and so 
far as known, no one carried away any but pleasant 
recollections of the shoot. 
| The club missed very much the faces of Mr. J. H. 
Cameron and E. G. White, who have usually been with 
/us_on tournament day. 
| Scores of those who shot through the regular events 
/are given below, and the winners in the merchandise 
' 

| were in the order named, as follows: N. G. Bray, G. 
/M. Howard, D. J. Kearney (Montreal), C. G. Thomp- 
son, F. A. Briggs, T. M. Craig, Dr. Stockwell, A. E. 
Rose, Pepin (Quebec), G. Easdale (Ottawa), H. Hib- 
bard, A. W. Westover, Payson (Quebec), Ewing (Mon- 
treal).
