THE ALBANY TOURNAMENT. 



ALBANY. April 12.— The two day's tournament at Albany, 

 April 11 and 12, under the auspices of the Elm Grove Gun 

 Club, was a most, enjoyable affair. Thore was a large number of 

 visiting sportsmen in attendance, coming from Syracuse, Utica, 

 Saratoga, Troy, Cohoes, Hoosick Falls, Cazenovia, Johnstown, 

 Cambridge Catskill. and Hoboken and Plainfield, N. J. The 

 tournament committee, Messrs. C. A. Beckford, Holly Gardner 

 and "Charlie Ross" Gove, did everything in their power to make 

 it pleasant for the. visitors. Kingbirds were the targets used 

 throughout the shoot. Mr. Cruttonden had charge of the traps, 

 and they worked to perfection. Genial Horace B. Derby, of the 

 Albany ArgUS, was the officio} scorer and general 'Peacemaker." 

 Harry Ransom pulled the traps, and Mr. George Porter made an 

 impartial referee. On the first day the weather was most delight- 

 ful and the attendance very large, but on Friday it was disagreea- 

 ble, light, showers continued at intervals throughout the day, and 

 the light was very bad, making it very hard shootiug. The com- 

 mittee are making great preparations for the State shoot, A side 

 programme will be shot, open to all, so that non-residents of the 

 State who may attend, will be assured plenty of shooting and 

 liberal guaranteed purses.

CANADIAN TRAP NOTES. 



MONTREAL, April 6.— There was quite a crowd present at the 

 rod competition on the Montreal Gun Club grounds to-day, 

 but only seven contestants put in an appearance. However, the 

 seven had their work cut out for them with the new birds and 

 trans. The Keystone and Hamilton traps were on trial, and they 

 both were a declared a decided improvement. Mr. Alexander 

 won the first Hen on the rod with a score of 10. It must be won 

 twice by any competitor before becoming his property. The 

 donor arranged the handicap, and the conditions called for 24 

 birds thrown from a Keystone trap. Following is the score! Fish-

MINNEAPOLIS, April 11.— The Minneapolis Gun Club held its 

 usual weekly badge and" sweepstake shoot, to-day out on its 

 grounds at Bloomington avenue and Thirty-eighth street, where 

 they have decided to remain for the present, and not go to the 

 grounds midway between the cities as at first intended. The 

 street car strike, which both cities have on their hands, made the 

 different shooters "rustle," especially those from St. Paul, but all 

 got there and had a splendid afternoon's sport. The wind was 

 strong and gusty, but some fine, scores were made. Next Thurs- 

 day the club has its monthly all-dav tournament, and they are 

 usually successful. Messrs. "Holt," Kennedy, "Chantler," Forbes 

 and Skinner were present from St. Paul. The SI, Paul Gun Club 

 shoots each Saturday, and many Minneapolis sportsmen attend,

BROOKLYN, N. Y'., April 10,-The Coney Island Rod and Gun 

 Club held a shoot at live birds at Woodlawn Park, Gravesend, 

 this afternoon. The weather was very pleasant, and the club 

 house on the shooting grounds was consequently crowded with 

 marksmen and their friends. If the bir..s had been a good lot 

 the conditions could not have been better. Twenty-four shooters 

 took part in the Blattmaoher medal and five extra prizes. Three 

 of the marksmen, E. Saneum, H. P. Donelly and I. McKane killed 

 their 7 birds straight. In the shoot-off at three hrids, Donelly

SQUIRES'S GUN SHOP FIRE— On Thursday morning last afire 

 broke out in a shoe shop below the gun store of Henry C. Squires, 

 No. 176 Broadway. Two fire alarms brought a Iod of engines rat- 

 tling down Broadway, and the firemen dashed into the basement 

 to fight tho fire. But it had got too good a start, and shortly after 

 their arrival there was a big explosion in Squires's store, and the 

 big plate glass of the show windows were blown into the street, 

 scattering the crowd of early workers who had gathered in front 

 of the building. In Squires's store there was a spring stock of 

 guns, fishing tackle and sporting goods, valued by Mr. Squires at 

 850,000. There were cartridges and packages of powder in flat tin 

 b xes in the rear of the store. The cartridges went off like fire- 

 crackers, but the gunpowder in the ears withstood the heat. The 

 explosion was caused by the ignition of a volume of gas that had 

 escaped from the broken gas fixtures. Mr. Squires spent the whole 

 of the forenoon emptying Water out of the barrels of his imported 

 guns. He is insured for $50,000, but he says that that will hardly 

 cover his loss, which it is difficult to estimate. * 



E \TON, N. Y.— There is a club here which is busy at practice, 

 but as yet quite a few of the birds get away.
