 hope for his speedy recovery. His place, though, was very gracefullj' 

 and well filled by those well known trap shots and prince of good fel- 

 lows, Messrs. Jesse Pumphrey, Ward, Green, Irvin and Mason, whose 

 shadows we trust may never grow less. The WheeUng boys will not 

 be content until the Sherman Gun Club team come to Wheeling for a 

 return match that they may be able to return the hospitality and good 

 time they enjoyed at Columbus. The following are the team scores:

The Newark Gun Club. 



The monthly shoot of the Newark Gun Club, held on John Brb's 

 grounds, on Thursday, April 13, was lightly attended, the weather as 

 usual being imfavorable. In fact, it is so long sioce this club has 

 caught a clear day for their shoot that they would doubtless be rattled 

 if obliged to shoot in simshine. In the morning there was a drizzling 

 rain, lasting until noon. During the afternoon the clouds hung dark 

 and heavy, there was no breeze at all and all around the grounds was 

 a haze that portended anything but pleasant weather. Half a dozen 

 of the faithful were on hand and these managed to have considerable 

 sp'^rt. These comprised "Uncle Billy" Hughes, of Jersey City; "Eddy" 

 Collins, of Hoboken; Samuel Castle and Lieut. -Col. R. H. Breintnall, 

 of Newark; W. G. HoUis of Kearny, and ofdcer Jas. Bruen, of Newark. 



The first event was at 10 birds. $5 entry; second was the club shoot, 

 also a sweep; third and fourth miss-and-out events. The results:

Daly Defeats Garrison. 



The grounds of the Riverside Gun Club, at Red Bank, N. J., were the 

 scene on April 10 of a match, which, though rather one-sided, was pro- 

 ductive of good work by both principals. The match was at 50 live 

 birds each for SlOO a side between Phil Daly, Jr., of Long Branch, and 

 "Snapper" E. H. Garrison, the shooting-jockey from Brooklyn. The 

 original conditions called for 100 birds each, but owing to the dilficulty 

 in s-ecuring pigeons it was cut down to .50 each. The birds were one of 

 the best lots trapped this season, being quick to take flight and strong 

 and tricky on the wing. Daly was in good form and secured a lead of 

 four on the first half, gaining three more on the last half. Garrison 

 attributed some of his poor work to his gun, which he claimed did not 

 suit him either in fit or shooting qualities. The scores are here given:
