MANY persons must have noted that
olives at some hotels are much richer
in taste than at the domestic table.
The secret of it Is, says an authority on
olives, that such hotels buy olives In a
small or large key in the original
brine. while the ordinary housckeeper
buys olives put up neatly In quart or
pint jars containing new nane made
for the purpose. Olives look more Of,
tractivo when bottled in new brine, but
In the original brine they far exceed the
others In richness and strength. Per-

An amateur trap shot who has gain
ed much notoriety within the last few
weeks. is J. w. Sexton of Leavenworth,
Kas. He succeeded in winning the
trophy given by the Schneider Arms
company of Kansas City, for the in
animate target championship Of
America The match took place on
July II, and Mr.. Sexton won against
large field of contestants, making a
record of 80 out of a possible 100. The
targets were thrown under the ere
versed system" rule, which is unusual
ly hard shooting. The contest was
open to all, amateurs and professionals
alike. although few of the latter class
of marksmen participated. Mr. Sex
ton has since defended the trophy by
scoring "a out of 100, to his opponents

J. D. Gay is an amateur shot, living
near Lexington, KY He is quite a
young man, but his superior shooting
won him the title of Champion shot
of Kentucky" in 1894 He has made
some creditable records at the traps,
breaking inanimate targets with won
derful accuracy. He has competed
against such men as Heikes, Van Dyke
and Fulford, winning high average
on several occasions. One of his best
records is So out of a possible 100 blue
rock targets, which were thrown ex-
ceedingly hard, the match being shot
on wager that he could not break 80.
He won, with six points to spare
The sport Of trap shooting is not en-
joyed by men alone Often women,
too come to great skill in it. Every
one knows of Miss Annie Oakley, who

are placed in position and arranged so
that each trap will throw a target in
a different direction. The first trap
on the left is No. 1, and the pigeon"
is thrown quartering to the right, at
an angle of about 45 degrees and a
height of six to twelve feet from the
ground when thirty yards away, the
speed being sufficient to carry the tar
get forty to sixty yards from the trap.
The No. 2 trap should throw at the
same speed and angle, but to the left.
The No. or center trap should throw
directly forward. No. 4 should throw
to the right quarter. and No 5, the
last on the row, should throw to the
left quarter. When harder shooting is
wanted, or the skill of the marksmen
is to be tested to a higher degree, the
trappers are instructed to change the
direction of the flight after each shot,
by moving a small lever on the trap,
which then throws the bird in a
different direction, and without the
marksman knowing where it will fly.
The speed of the target is swift enough
to require an expert shot to break it
before it has gone thirty-fve yards
away from him, but is broken by the
majority of men at from forty to fifty
yards distance. The springing of the
trap is now accomplished by means of
an electric battery.
Where five traps are in USE it is
customary to have six marksmen face
the traps and shoot down the line.
thrown from the trap In front Of
which he stands. and then moving to
the next trap on his right The sixth
man fails in after the fifth one, and
thus is maintained a regular firing in
rotation, with the perfect order and
precision Of a military company.
For club medals from twenty-five to
fifty is the customary number Of
birds" shot at. Only one shot is all
lowed at a time, although occasionally
matches are made in which two tar
gets are thrown al once, and the
shooter attempts to break one with
each barrel. In shooting at single tar
gets it is considered a good score to
break So out Of possible 100, but
under ordinary conditions many men
will break from 80 to 90 out of every
100 targets they shoot at.
Guns and Ammunition.
The guns are the same as those used
for killing game. In most cases, how
ever, they are of a very high quality
of the ereecla-loading shotgun, costing
anywhere from sS5 to $500.
The ammunition used is of a higher
grade than that formerly employed for
game shooting, the powder being al
most exclusively of the nitro or
smokeless order. The average cost of
the cartridge used is about $3.50 pv.
100, but special ammunition, consisting
of the highest quality of Shells, Sc
lected and imported wadding, often
brings the cost to $3.50 and 81 per 700.
The price charged for shooting at the
targets is from l to 115 cents shot

stantial shooting house for the accom-
mediation of members, and for storage
of targets, traps, etc. It is estimated
that at the present time there are 100,-
GOO active sportsmen, who enjoy the
recreation of trap-shooting.
Trap Shooting Clubs.
The organizing of a gun club is but
a simple matter, as every town of q
few thousand inhabitants has a num-
Der of men, who, in the season, enjoy
the shooting Of game in the fields, and
when the season for game closes, they
have but to form themselves into an
organization, purchase three or five
traps, which cost from 81 TO S. each,
and a few thousand targets at SIS per
1000, with the necessary arapharnelia
and proceed to enjoy themselves. The
traps, five being generally used, are
placed behind a screen of boards,
which afford protection to the trap
pers" from any accidental discharge of
the gun, or stray pellets of shot. The
duty of the trapper is to set the traps
and put in another target after one
has been thrown. The screen is usu-
ally from three to four feet in height,
and reaches the length of the traps,
which are placed five yards apart. In
some cases a small narrow she'd is

the trappers from the weather. 1t is
placed partially under ground so that
no more of the shed is in sight than if
only the ordinary fence screen was
used. The shooter then stands on

with the traps, sixteen yards back.

can be built. The size of this depends
on the strength and financial condition
of the organization.
A "shanty'' large enough to accom-
modate from ten to fifteen men can
be erected for 500 to $500, but it
takes from $500 to $1,000 to erect the
substantial, well-arranged and COM
modious club house owned by most of
the gun clubs of the larger cities. Even
$1,000 or more is often laid out on this
building, making a two-story house
with whatever is needed for the COM
fort and pleasure of the members.
The Meets and How They Are Com
Quoted.
When the members meet for prac-
tice on appointed days, the five traps
