Nkw Haten. Conn., April 27.— A letter received by the Yale Gun Club 

 says that the Harvard Gun Club wishes if possible to arrange, instead 

 of the match this spring at Cambridge between Yale and Harvard, a 

 four-cornered match between Yale, Princeton, the University of Penn- 

 sylvania and Harvard, to be shot under the usual conditions of the 

 Yale-Harvard matches. The date proposed for the match is May 29, 

 and the place the grounds of the Boston Shooting Association. The 

 Yale Gun Club sent to tlie secretary of the Harvard Gun Club the fol- 

 lowing communication on April 37: ".Joseph Sargent. Jr., secretary 

 of Harvard Gun Club:— Dear Sir— The Yale Shooting Chib thinks the 

 idea of a four-cornered match between Harvard, Princeton, University 

 of Pennsylvania and Yale a very good one, and would be very glad to 

 accept, with the usual condition of the Yale-Harvard matches. Would 

 it not be a good idea to shoot for a cup? With four teams entered "we 

 could get something rather nice at a very moderate expense for each 

 team. This is simply a proposition whicli we would like to have your 

 views on. We hope the other teams will think as favorably of the 

 plan as we do, and sincerely hope you will have success in carrying it 

 out. Yours truly, R. C. Anderson, Secretary Yale Shooting Club. " 



"Anaconda, Mont., April 26. — Members of the gun club get inquiries 

 every day from different sections of the State concerning the tourna- 

 ment to be held on May 19, 20 and 21. The club intends to give a live 

 pigeon shoot, and is now corresponding with people in different States 

 to see if it can get the required number of birds. The State Press As- 

 sociation meets here on May 17, and as every newspaper man is sup- 

 posed to be able to shoot, though they generally confine their sport to 

 the killing of men and other large game, it is more than likely that the 

 sporting editors will bring their blunderbiLsses with them 'and come 

 prepared to stay for the tournament. It is sincerely hoped that the 

 club -wUl meet with enough encouragement from the business men of 

 the city to make the event worthy of Anaconda, though the club has, 

 so far, not solicited any aid from persons outside the organization. 

 Nevertheless, the carrying out of a successful tournament is a heavy 

 burden for the few members of the club to bear alone. It is hoped 

 that the Montana champion pigeon shot. W. T. Sheard, of Livingston, 

 win be present, as well as W. B. Benham, of Bozeman, who is also a 

 noted crack shot, and many others who might be named. The Ana- 

 conda Club feels competent to shoot with the be.st."
