New Haven Gun Club. 
New Haven, Conn., Sept. 11.—Event No. 5 was the 
team race. (1) after the names denote team No. 1; (2) 
team No. 2. In the Hunter Arms Co. race, Dr. Smith 
was high gun with a score of 28, which is the highest 
score yet made in the four shoots already held in this 
race. This score puts him on an even footing with the 
other high guns in this contest. 
Rain interfered and kept the crowd away, but al- 
though few in numbers, we had our usual good time. 
We had a rather peculiar accident, which ended very 
fortunately, as no one was injured. Mr. Morrissey’s 
gun blew out the breech bolt, which just grazed his 
cheek and hit the roof of the club house with terrific 
force. 
Our next shoot will be held on Dec. 11, shoots being 
omitted during October and November. 
The high guns in the Hunter Arms Co. race are here 
given to show the position of contestants. There are 
two more shoots to follow, four out of six scores to 
count, so that any one of these nine contestants may 
win the trophy.

Analestan Gun Club. 
Wasuincton, D. C., Sept. 15.—The regular shoot of 
the Analostan Gun Club yesterday was marked by a large 
attendance—thirty members participating. This speaks 
well for the interest manifested and the “shooting game” 
in this city. Our membership is constantly increasing. 
The members are taking a great interest in the club 
contests, and most of those who have attended regularly 
are now handicapped to the back marks, and they persist 
in doing most of their shooting from the handicap dis- 
tances. We have been afraid that it would discourage 
many of them, for the scores are low, but all are making 
them, and being in the same boat, they laugh over their 
efforts and continue to bang away. Yesterday nearly all 
of the shooting was done from 19 to 22yds. Some of the 
boys wound up the afternoon’s sport with a 25-bird event 
from the l6yd. mark, and the scores made were good, 
and as follows: Wagner 23, Coleman 23, Hann 22, 
Hunter 22, C. S. Wilson 18, Parsons 16, and Moffett 13. 
The medal and trophy contests resulted as follows: 
Class A: Brown, lvyds., first, 19 out of 20; M. Taylor, 
2lyds., second, 18; Coleman, 22yds., third, 15. 
Class B: Nitro, 22yds., first, 15; C. S. Wilson, 22yds., 
second, 14; Willis, 20yds., third, 13. 
Class C: Cox, liyds., first, 15 out of 20; George, 20yds., 
and Hawes, l6yds., tied for second on 14; Bruce, 16yds., 
third, 13, 
Following are the scores made during the afternoon.

Magic City Gun Club. 
Muncie, Ind., Sept. 7—The Labor Day tournament of 
the Magic City Gun Club, of Muncie, Ind., was a very 
satisfactory affair, twenty-five shooters taking part, all 
save one being amateurs. The high average for the day 
was won with 187 breaks in a possible 200, by one Kit 
Carson Shepardscn, La Grange, Ind. Next in line 
came your Uncle Tom Parry, of Indianapolis, with 185. 
Mr. Henry Vietmeyer was the sole manufacturers’ repre- 
sentative present. He acted the part, and tore up over 
90 per cent. of his targets. The club at noon acted the 
host at one’ of its noted fried chicken dinners, and at this 
function all ‘‘went straight,’’ from celery to ice cream, 
Dr. O. F. Britton, who, to Dr. Moore’s personal knowl- 
edge, has been following shooting in this section for the 
past eighty-five years, was with us. Dr. Britton’s gun 
was found to be broken when the Doctor essayed his first 
shot. He went to the club house, borrowed a Greener 
double barrel (he is shooting a Habich single barrel) 
and broke 96 out of his first 100. Later in the day when 
he was not doing so well, Tom Parry suggested to him 
that he “break something” to improve his work. 
The annual shoot of the Trapshooters’ League of In- 
diana will be held on these grounds in 1908.

WINCHESTER 2 

At “The National Shoot,”’ held at Camp Perry, Ohio, and at the Sea Girt Tour- 
nament, the two big rifle meets of the year, Winchester Cartridges, Rifles and 
Barrels won a big share of the honors, and in winning, again demonstrated, as they 
have many times before, that for accuracy, reliability and results they are supreme. 
THE WINCHESTER RECORD AT CAMP PERRY 
16 Firsts; 10 Seconds; 9 Thirds; 4 Ties for 1, 2 or 3 place. 
INDIVIDUAL RAPID FIRE MATCH 
Another Clean Sweep For Winchester Self-Loading Rifles. 
This important match resulted the same as it did a year ago, and as at Bisley, 
England, this year. It was a clean sweep for Winchester Self- Loading Rifles and 
Winchester Cartridges. The supremacy of the Winchester Self- Loading Rifle sys- 
tem has been conclusiv ely demonstrated by its winning all the honors in every match 
it has been used in. The prize winners were Ist, Capt. A. F. Laudensack; 2nd, 
Adolf Topperwein; 3d, Sergeant Farr; 4th, Lieut. South; 5th, Private Chesley. 
The Spencer Match At Sea Girt 
This important match (15 shots at 1000 yards) was won by private G. W. C helsey, 
2nd Conn., with the splendind score of 71 out of a possible 7 75. He shot Winches- 
ter cartridges and a Winchester barrel. The winning score is convincing proof of 
their wonderful accuracy. 
The Inspectors Match 
The result of this hotly contested match (10 shots at 600 and 1000 yards) was ieee 
victory for W inchester cartridges; the winner, Capt. S. W. Wise, Mass,, used them, 
as did also Major W. B. Martin, N. J., who was third.
