Rochester Bod and Gun Club. 



Rochester, N. Y., April 25.— Tho Rochester Rod and Gun Club 

 held an open tournament on last Saturday, and to say that it was 

 a Bueeeps is but to echo the sentiment of every shooier present. 



For some time we have been considering the advisability of 

 charging our targets, which for the past winter have heen Peoria 

 blackbirds. Of late they have not given pood satisfaction, owing 

 to tre breakage in transportation and in the traps. On Saturday 

 bluerocks were used, together with expert traps and electric 

 pulls, the whole being under the personal supervision of Paul 

 _N T ortb. of the Cleveland Target Co., and worked like clock work. 

 Out of a shipment of 5.000 targets not one was broken in transit, 

 and but very t>w in the traps. 



The shooting was under American Association rules, rapid- 

 firing system, five traps, with Paul North's system of handicap, 

 which p'ovides that wh'n a shooter takes first or second money 

 he shall be required to shoot in the expert class, so lODg as he 

 shoots himself into first or second place. 



Aun ng the visitors from out of town we were pleased to note 

 Messrs. Mowry and Courtney, of Syracuse; Tuttle and Carr, of 

 Auburn: Stacey and Loom is, of Ithaca, and Hobart, of New York.

Shooting at Williamsport. 



Wtlliamsport, Pa., April 23. — I herewith inclose scores made 

 by members of the Williamsport Rifle and Gun Club on Friday 

 last, our rtgular shootmg day. The weather looked qu'te disap- 

 pointing in the morning, and undoubtedly kept quite a number 

 away, but s ix of the old reliables were on hand and did themselves 

 nroud. Tne light was perfect for trap shooting and the result 

 was good scores all around. Hughes and Talman could not wait 

 for the crowd and commenced banging away. Keystone targets 

 were used, thrown from bluetock traps and electric pulK To say 

 ihey worked well is putting it mild. Out of 1,000 trapped only 

 three or four were broken in trapping, and how they did go was a 

 caution to the scores.
