 between Smythe, of Wichita, and "Scott,'' of tbi-> place, the 

 badge was won by Smythe in the following score at 100 birds, 50 

 single and 10 pairs bluerocks and 30 live birds: 



Singles. Doubles. Birds. Total. 



Smvthe 43 11 25 79 



"SJott" 43 15 19 77 



At the end of the blneror-ks "Scott" led, but fell down in his live 

 birds, something ho has never done before since he began shooting 

 in the Hutchinson club, Up to the live birds all the Wichita men 

 were betting against their own champion 2 to 1, but "Scott" could 

 not go the pace on the live flyers. "Scott" refuses to have his 

 name published for family reasons. 



The Hutchinson Giln Club held their regular monthly shoot 

 Thursday. Jan. 3, and your humble servant carried away the 

 medal. George, Young and "Scott" tied for the cup, George win- 

 ning in the shoot-off. The boys were all shooting pretty well. The

[The Hutchinson club is one of the few whose members shoot 

 verv evenly. It is nobody's odds who will wan the medal or cup 

 at their monthly shoots, and therefore 1 he zest of the club never

He is hardly more than 21 years of age, weighs over 2001os., is 

 quite as good-natured as he. is fat, and has improved in his shoot- 

 ing about as rapidly as any one could.]

AVERAGE CLUB SCORES FOR SEASON. 



NEWARK, Jan. V2.-Edttor Forest and Stream: It has occurred 

 to me, as it lias no doubt to many of your readers, that gun 

 clubs like individuals have their "days off," heuce a published 

 score of any event is not indicative of the relative standing of 

 such club. What Is needed in this line 13 a "genuine average" 

 taken from a season's record, and any prize or event dependent 

 upon a single score of an individual or club must, it seems to me. 

 beaccepted by the winner with a deep sense of gratitude, as it 

 may have been clenrly attributable to matters beyond the control 

 of his opponent. My attention has been more forcibly called to 

 this matter during thp past year, as I have participated in 

 monthly contests, and have not only witnessed, but experienced 

 the "unaccountableaess"— the contagious nature of which all 

 shooters are more or less familiar with. Mv attention was also 

 attracted by attending the a"nual meet ing of the Essex Gun 

 Club, of this city, recently, at which tne shooting committee pre- 

 sented a statistical report of the doings of the club for the year 

 past, and as a synopsis may he of some interest to your readers, I 

 give it to you in a condensed form. This report says: Total num- 

 ber of members participating in shoots during the year, 33. Total 

 number of scores shot, 127. Total number of birds shot at, 1.270. 

 Total number of birds killed. 1,002. Average for the vear, 78.89, 

 divided among the rlassts as follows: Class A, 31 yds., number ot 

 birds 480. killed 402, average. S3.75. Class B. 28yds., number of 

 birds BOO, killed 467, average 77.83. Class C, 20yds., number of 

 birds 190. killed 133, average 70.00. The above is a verv fair show- 

 ing, and speaks w^ll for the members, as this club does not offer 

 cash or other valuable considerations as an incentive to get the 

 members out, and winners in the events must be satisfied with 

 the honors and the sport. The wiifners last season were as fol- 

 lows: Class A, Breintuall and Burnett. Class B, Hedden, Nicho- 

 las, Unger and Freeh e. Class C, Tillou. Tae best score was 

 made by Hedden with 67 out of 70 consecutive birds. Ford. 



C A NADIAN TRAP NOTE S. 



MONTREAL. Jan. 5 —The fourth shoot for the Greener came 

 off tr>-day on the Montreal Club's grounds, Cote St. Antoine, 

 Mr. H. W. Ferguson, of the Dominion Gun Club, illustrating his 

 prowess by winning a lien on the gun, Lumsden, the Montreal's 

 crack, losing the shoot off after tieir.g Ferguson. There wt s a 

 puffy southwest wind, which at times blew a gale and made 

 the score of 18 out of a possible 20 a remarkable one, Ferguson's 

 total score being 23 out of 25 and Lumsden 23 out of 25. A sweep 

 at 5 birds was then shot, Mr. Lucas, of the Lacm'ne Gun Club 

 referoed. Fourth shoot, "open" Cromer gun, Jan. 5, at 20 birds.

Ottawa, Jan 5.— On resuming work, after the autumn vacation, 

 Mr. P. N. Thompson, president of the St. Hubert Gun Club, for 

 the second time accepting the office, presented for club competi- 

 tion a magnificent silver cup, and laid down the scheme for carry- 

 ing out the contest. He was particular on the point of handicap, 

 requesting that it should be run on the same principle as that of 

 the Montreal Gun Club, of Montreal. The executive committee 

 of the club went carefully over the membership list of shots, and 

 arranged that point in a most satisfactory way. The weather 

 was not what a trap shot, especially with an eye on an elegantly 

 designed silver cup, a perfect gun, and from the skilled hand in 

 design of Mr. Chas. Addison, could have desired; a gusty east by 

 south wind swept up over the range, and in the south dark 

 threatening cloud banks rolled up, at times casting a peculiar 

 hazy light over the earth, while at intervals old Sol would burst 

 a beam of his strongest rays through the dark bank, and thus 

 making it almost impossible to get on to birds that crossed to the 

 right. There are to be eight competitions at 20 birds each, the 

 member making the highest aggregate in any five of the matches 

 to be declared winner. Ties to be shot off at 20 birds and handi- 

 caps to hold same as in matches. The club has added three hand- 

 some prizes, so as to encourage the weaker shots. To make mat- 

 ters still more interesting, a sweep was added for the opening. 

 Official score:

The figure inclosed parenthetically is the allowed handicap. 

 Mr. O. Trudeau's score, and the old shot at the stool was in good 

 form, gives a strong illustration of the uncertainty of the game, 

 while that of Mr. E. King, who made a fair average, shows the 

 effect of the handicaps. This match was at the Ligowskys, and 

 lhat of the 13th will close out this stock. Then for the Peorias, 

 and the Saints will then be on an equal footing with the other 

 Canadian clubs. 



Newcastle, Jan. 10.— The two days' shooting tournament 

 closed here to-day. The affair passed off very satisfactorily, 

 everything being agreeable except, the weather, which was.es- 

 nec ally to-day, rather unfavorable for accurate shooting. 

 However, the affair can be said to have been a success. All the 

 visitors express themselves more than pleased with their treat- 

 ment at the hands of their Newcastle brother marksmm. Mr. 



The two barrels were allowed and a three-minute boundary.

Ottawa, Jan. 12.— The St. Hubert's Gun Club competition for 

 the Thompson Cup is ci using a great deal of attention, and the 

 second competition, wbich was shot to-dav, attracted a large 

 numher of onlookers. Th* day was all that could h* desired, and 

 the shooting first-rate. Thirteen put in an appearance for t^e 

 cup. and four scores of 17 were the results. It look" as if the 

 handican will prove a success, and there is no saying who may 

 win until the hv-t bird is shot at. The club will in future shoot, 

 at Peorias. An opening was made to-day at 2 P. M. sharp, when 

 Messrs. A. Jacques (the Old Man) and Maingy, the official scorers 

 were on hand.

Montreal, Jan. 12.— The sixth shoot of the Montreal Gun Club 

 for the Greener gun came off this afternoon. Only S'X shnrters 

 turned up. E. A. Cowley won the gun for the second lime with a 

 score of 19. Alexander spcond with 10, Two sweeps at 5 birds 

 followed and were won by W. Mack and W. Lumsden. 



BOSTON, Jan. 9.— The ample accommodations of the Walnut 

 Hill range were taxed to the uttermost to-day by the crowd of 

 trap-shooters in attendance at the fiist shotgun meeting of the 

 year. It is seldom that a , gathering of such strong shots is seen, 

 and the scores below show how hotly each match was contested. 

 The event of the day was the team match between thp home club 

 and two vi-iting teams from the Wellington Gun Club, which, 

 after a close race, resulted in leaving the trophv in the hands of 

 the Walnut Hill men. In the two individual matches the work 

 was brilliant, and Mr. Shift's score of 15 straight birds in the 

 competition for the State Association badge is worthy of special 

 mention, while Mr. Wardwell's 38 out of 40 in the Climax > adge 

 match was wonderfully high, considering the conditions which 

 prevailed. Among the contestants were representatives of all 

 the. leading gun clubs in New England, including Dr. Gerrish, of 

 Exeter, N. H., and Messrs. Griffiths, Tinker and Houghton, of 

 Providence. The summary of the twelve events on the programme! 

 follow: 



First event, 6 standard targets— Dickey, Suow 6, Chase, Griffith
