ELM CITY GUN CLUB. 



TVT'EW HAVEN, Corn)., March 23.— The Elm City Gun Club held 

 X^l an all-day shoot on their grounds March 18, and shot out the 

 100-bird race postponed 4rom the 6tb. We had a fair day and 

 good attendance, about thirty shooters being present. Among 

 them were Yerrington, of Norwich, Conn.; Strong, Ames and 

 Connor, of West London, Conn.; Willey, Melrose and Whitlesey, 

 of Hartford, Conn.; Cowee, of Boston, Mass.; Manly and Nichols, 

 of Danbury, Conn.; Sanford, of Westport, Conn. We used up 

 nearly 3,500 targets, mostly from one set of three traps, .as all hut 

 two events, one of 5 pair and one of 10 birds, were shot from one 

 set of traps. We started the 100 bird race about 2 o'clock and 

 finished about 4:30. We shot it Keystone system, squads of four 

 each, and think we did fairly well, considering it our first at- 

 tempt at Keystone system. The 100-bird race is, without a doubt, 

 the largest event ever shot in this State. Two thousand birds in 

 one event is something: unusual. We are going to hold another 

 one of the same kind before long, and hope to get more entries 

 next time. The following are the scores in the several events:

INDIANAPOLIS, March 17.— Twelve hundred people saw Geo. 

 Beck, of this city, champion wing shot of the United States, de- 

 feat Al Bandle. of Cincinnati, this afternoon, at the Exposition 

 Grounds, in a 100-bird match, for 8250 a side. It was a neck-and- 

 neck race, Beck killing 84 and Bandle 83. The birds did not trap 

 well until toward the finish, when some fine work was done by 

 both men. Bandle killed his last 30 birds clean, his best run, 

 while Beck's best run was 16. Hurling bam rules governed, the 

 rise being 30 and the bounds 80yds„ 5 ground traps being used. 

 Ed. Taylor, of Cincinnati, was referee. Considerable money 

 changed hands on the result, the betting being even. Between 30 

 and 40 Cincinnati people came over with Bandle. Following is 

 the score:

BOSTON, March 19.— Prof. Wiggins' long-predicted storm was 

 "central" over the range of the Massachusetts Rifle Association 

 to-daj T , but the 30 trap-shooting experts who faced the traps paid 

 little heed to the driving snow that made it, difficult to follow the 

 flight of the birds. The special event of to-day's meeting was the 

 challenge match for the clay bird team badge of the 8 '.ate Asso- 

 ciation. Up to to-day the M. R. A. has held the trophy, but when 

 the scores of this afternoon's match was tallied up it was found 

 that the home team had been snowed under in more senses than 

 one. Besides the M. B. A. team there competed for the trophy a 

 team from the Brockton Gun Club, and the first and second teams 

 of the Wellington Gun Club. The latter club won the badge very 

 handsomely with its first team. Team match for clay-pigeon 

 team trophy of the Massachusetts State Shootiug Association, 10 

 clay birds per mau, teams of five:

 weather and a tramp of a mile through knee-deep Staten Island 

 clay did not deter the. members from turning out in force for the 

 first shoot in the new year. The president of the organization,

 est scores at three shoots. In Class 3, L Eibsen was the lucky 

 man, with 8 out. of 10 at 21yds. He will also retain the class em-
