FOREST AND STREAM. 


[Ocr. 19, 1907.} 

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
ue second annual tournament of the club was held 
on Oct. 9 and 10, at the grounds north of Dayton. The 
attendance did not come up to the expectations of the 
officers, but there were enough shooters present to make 
things a little lively, and _ still finish the programme in 
good season each day. Dr. P. Gould and G. W. 
Dameron had charge of things, and every detail was care- 
fully looked after, the smooth running of the tournament 
was due to their efforts. Ralph Trimble was present, 
and as he could not take part in the shooting, he had 
charge of the office work as cashier and compiler of 
scores. He can do this work as well as he used to shoot, 
there were no delays in the financial department. 
The trade was represented by Rolla O. Heikes, L. 6 
Squier, J. R. Taylor, A. M. Hatcher, Guy Ward, H. D. 
Freeman, C. O. Le Compte, C. A. Young and B. L. 
Pitt. Besides the shooters from Cincinnati, the following 
so 

were among the visitors: Messrs. Russell, Green and 
John V. Dea, of Maysville, Ky.; F. C, Shattuck, Colum- 
bus; Lon Fisher, Buckeye Lake, O.; Arthur Gambell, 
Ryland, Ky. The Cincinnati Gun Club was represented 
by Pohlar, Anderson, Roll, Herman, Barker, Keplinger 
and Johnson. The programme each day consisted of 
ten 20-target events, $2 entrance in each, money divided 
Rose system, 5, 4, 3, 2. A special event was shot each 
day, open to those who had failed to make above 80 and 
85 per cent. The events were shot over two Leggett 
traps. At No. 1, Conrad Kline was referee, and J. 
Sugarman scorer, At No. 2, Mr. Moon, referee, and T. 
Miles scorer. Dinner was served each day in a large 
tent, and the managers are entitled to praise for their 
choice of a caterer. They certainly made a good selec- 
tion, and the shooters enjoyed what is often lacking at 
tournaments, a first-class dinner, in quality, quantity and 
service. 
The targets were difficult ones, 
j being thrown lower 
than is usual, 
and this may account for some of the low 
scores. J. R. Taylor was high professional for the two 
days with 383 out of 400. C. O. Le Compte, 376, A. M. 
Hatcher 373, Guy Ward 371, and C. A. Young 367. 
The club gave $5 for each man shooting the entire 
programme as high average money, 60 per cent. to be 
divided equally among the five high guns and 40 among 
the five low guns. Lon Fisher won first high average 
with 362, Holaday 354, F. Shattuck 350, Green 348, and 
Anderson $38, 
Oct. 9, First Day. 
The weather on the opening day was about as good as 
could have been asked for—clear and cool, with a very 
slight wind. Thirty-four shooters took part in the pro- 
gramme, while nearly 200 spectators, including many 
ladies, watched the sport. The first squad was made u 
of the experts, Heikes, Squier, Taylor, Hatcher and Ward, 
and racy attracted much attention by their good work 
In the fourth event they missed only three targets, fin- 
ishing with 97 out of the 100. In the first 100 targets of 
the day Taylor broke 98, and finished with 194, high pro- 
fessional score of the day. C. O. Le Compte gave him a 
close race, getting 98 out of the last 100, and a total of 
191. _Then came Hatcher with 188, C. A. Young and 
He D: Freeman with 184 each. Lon Fisher was high 
amateur with 186, Green 183, Holaday 177, J. V. Dea and 
F. Shattuck 176 each, D. Pohlar 172. The special event 
for a Marlin repeating rifle, donated by the Marlin Fire 
Arms Co., was won by E. Barker on 24, after a spirited 
shoot-off with Dr. Hill. Long runs of straight breaks 
were made by Le Compte, 77 and 51; J. R. Taylor 67; 
Green 59, and Freeman 49,

Oct. 10, Second Day. 
The weather was even better than on the first day. 
The attendance of shooters was only three short of the 
previous day, while the number of spectators ‘was much 
larger. The shooting began about 10 o’clock and the 
last event was finished soon after 3. The balance of the 
afternoon was taken up with sweepstake shooting, a 
dozen or more men taking part. The scores were not 
quite so good as on the first day. Taylor was again 
high gun with 189, 5 targets short of his first day’s 
record, and to-day he shared these honors with Guy 
Ward, instead of taking them alone. Le Compte and 
Hatcher came second with 185, C. A. Young 183, L. J. 
Squier 180. Holaday was high amateur with 177. Lon 
Fisher second with 176. FF. Shattuck third with 174. 
Anderson 169. The prize in the special event was a $70 
Ithaca trap gun, donated by the Ithaca Gun Co., and was 
won by Johnson, of the Cincinnati Gun Club, Edwards 
giving him a close run and scoring 21. ; 
There were few long runs made, the best being: 
57, Hatcher 55, Ward 53. 
Announcement was made that John R. Taylor and Lon 
Fisher would give a tournament at Buckeye Lake on 
Oct 24 and 25, and all were invited to attend. It was 
not thought necessary to promise them a good time, as 
the names of the managers was assurance of that. Every- 
thing connected with the shoot passed off pleasantly, 
and there were no hitches to cause delay at any time. 
A recess was taken on each day at noon for dinner, 
which allowed all to enjoy the good things to the full. 
This is not often done at tournaments, and it is a plan 
which is worth following.

Good Shoot Assured for Sistersville. 
SISTERSVILLE, W. Va., Oct. 12.—We are glad to be able 
to report that the prospects for a successful shoot here on 
the 22d and 23d are extremely flattering. Hotel accom- 
modations have already been secured for some who are 
coming from a distance, and the clubs from neatby cities 
have promised to send good delegations. So far as the 
local arrangements are concerned, everything is ready 
for the referee to yell out, “Batter up”; and urless we 
have a breakdown there should be no delays. We have 
an extremely warm club house, with connect‘ons made 
for natural gas, so if the weather should be a shade 
chilly, we will be able to keep everybody warm. One 
of the best hotels in the State is within five minutes’ walk 
from our grounds, and we have made arrangements for 
something a little special for this occasion. [he Squier 
money-back system of division of money is attracting no 
little attention, and is pronounced eminently satisfactory 

wherever used. For our merchandise event, with 
handsome double-barrel pigeon gun as first prize, we } 
try to place all on an equality, that they may have 
equal chance to win. Should you miss this gun, dc 
forget that in this same event there are a number 
other handsome prizes, a Savage rifle, Stevens rifle, ; 
umbrellas, etc., that would be quite nice to carry home 
Ep. O. Bower, Mg 

Holland Gun Club. 
Batavia, N. Y., Oct. 10.—Our fifth annual fall shi 
was a decided success, in spite of the unfavora 
weather. There was much wind and very cloudy, a 
rain part of the time, but we had forty-two shoters.
