In Other Places. 
Peoria, Ill., is to have a shooting tournament. There 
has been much interest taken in the sport of trapshoot- 
ing since the late gun club was organized. As there 
are some of the old boomers in the club, it is pro- 
posed to hold 1 shoot that will entice the old and new 
shooters thro. out the State to attend, the shooters be- 
ing divided ino classes A, B. and C. 
The tournament at Marquette, Kan., was a success, 
and Glover Yowell won high average over Henry 
Anderson by one target. This club feels disposed to 
boast that there are five members who can defeat any 
five from any club in the State. 
Mr. Will Schrock, of P 29ria, Ill., attended his first 
tournament at Bloomingtwm, and his score of 167 out 
of 200 was to him a good sore for a rank amateur. 
Once upon a time Iowa was the great shooting center 
of the United States, as nearly every town had a gun 
club. This was in the good, old times when Chas. 
Grimm, Chas. Budd and others were in their prime and 
Fred Gilbert was just coming out. It is good news 
then at this time to note new clubs springing up, the 
latest one being at the town of Windham, where the 
sports have organized. 
Officers and directors of the Danville, Ill., Rod and 
Gun Club are now busy preparing several events for the 
cntertainment of members at the club house during the 
winter season. It is settled that one will be a rabbit 
supper and another an oyster roast. 
Ifelena, Mont.,, sportsmen have taken up the propo- 
sition of organizing a targe gun club with low fees, and 
to maintain a club house and hold practice shoots. 
There is a handicap shoot in contemplation at the 
Twin City Gun Club grounds, Champaign, IIl., now 
scheduled for the latter part of the present month. 
The Sterling, Il]., Gun Club has bought wild rice and 
will try the experiment of sowing same in the rivers, 
marshes and places where the carp have destroyed the 
former supply. 
Although the regular shoots for badges, cups and such 
will be discontinued by the Chicago Gun Club until 
next spring, there will be many tournaments and regular 
contests each Saturday and Sunday. 
Chicago is now anxiously awaiting the Interstate As- 
sociation meeting, as there is a bid in for the next 
G. A. 
News from the west 1 ds one to believe that the 
16- and 20-gauge guns arc fast supplanting the 12 for 
game shooting. 
Arogrande, N. M., has a gun club. A number of 
the citizens who have the Rooseveltian spirit got to- 
gether and formed the club with C. E. Van Voorhis 
president, and Edward Spriggs, secretary. 
The Milton, Fla, Gun Club has adopted a badge to 
be worn by the champion shot each monthly shoot. 
Report just in that the Kendallville, Ind., Gun Club 
will hold a shoot on turkey d4y. 
The weather was of the best, and the scores made at 
the tournament at Keithsburg, Ill., were very good. 
W. D. Stannard, of Chicago, was high with 188 out of 
200. Fred Ellett was high amateur, 183. 
The Rock Valley Gun Club, Lemont, IIll., will hold 
an all-day tournament Nov. 24. All events will be at 
10 targets, with the prizes ducks, geese and turkeys, This 
club has splendid grounds and a large, warm club house. 
The day will no doubt be pleasantly spent by all who 
attend 
The Rock Island, Ill., Gun Club will hold a shoot at 
their grounds Nov. 28. All shooters are invited to spend 
the day with their “‘shootings irons.”’ 
There will he a shoot about the 28th inst. at Kendall- 
ville, Ind., when everybody will be invited. The com- 
mand from the secretary is that all get busy and prac- 
tice up for the event. 
Officers of the Rock Island, Ill., Gun Club are offer- 
ing $100 reward for the conviction of the party who is 
poisoning bird dogs. For the g 4 of the cause, let 
us all hope that the club will be called upon for the 
reward. 
Salina, Kan., while a time out of the shooting 
game since Bogardus Tramp Irwin shot there 
thirty years ago, has lately taken on new life. There 
will be a tournament held there on Dec. 5 and 6. Many 
members of gun clubs in the central part of the State 
will participate. 
W. FE, Markham, Jesse McLeod, Doc Passage, Gam 
Kelly, Will Henry, George Springer, Albert Gayde, W. 
T. Pettingill and Ben Sprague, of the Plymouth, Mich., 
Gun Club, have gone north on a hunting trip. 
In a joint shoot, Sunday last, at £ . Joseph, Mo., Dr. 
Kulhman was high man, and thus .ae honors went to 
the old Metropolitan Club, of which he is a member. 
Yet Mr. Kegan, of the rod and gun club, was only 
one behind. The friendly shoots, combined with club 
efforts are doing much good in cementing friendly re- 
lations as between members. 
Tuscaloosa, Ala., will hold a shoot Noy, 27, at which 
time the Winchester squad will give an exhibition. 
There is considerable enthusiasm now being stirred 
up in the south among the lovers of trapshooting by 
the Winchester-Dupont squad giving exhibitions. 
Plans are now under consideration by the old rod 
and gun club, Eau Claire, Wis., for holding some social 
events during the winter, 
At this time of the year reports from gun clubs are, 
as a rule, that many of the members are out after game 
and the weekly shoots at blue rocks show only a few 
of the faithful as participants. The Grove Gun Club, 
Detroit, Mich., is thus affected. Sunday last the at- 
tendance was small for such a large club. M. Wolf won 
the Dupont trophy; Kuster and Schaefer tied for medal 
B with 18; Brinkman took C, .

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
G, W. G.—‘‘In the purchase of a double gun for bru 
work, am I right in selecting one with cylinder for rig 
barrel and full choke for left? No. 2—What should t) 
inside of each barrel caliper? No. 3—Where can I bi 
the tool to caliper with, its name, etc.?” 
Ans.—(1) A modified choke for each barrel, which w]* 
put about 55 per cent. in a 30in. circle at 40ydss., is ti}! 
better for brush shooting. (2) You fail to mention t] 
gauge. The following approximate closely to tl 
diameter of the different gauges: 12-gauge, .729 in 
sixteen, .662 in.; twenty, .615 in. (3) Calipers can be o 
tained in any hardware store which carries machinist 
supplies.
