Canajoharie. 



The fourt'h toTirnameTjt of tlie Eastern New York Trap Shooters 

 League was held on the Canajoharie Gun Chib grounds May 30. Mr. 

 Derby, of the Albany Artjus, reports that there was a goodly attend- 

 ance of the home talent and uien with ^uus fi'om all over the eastern 

 • part of the Btate. 



"The pro^n-aiiiine was lf)n,2;, Ijiit well arruas;ed, and the conditions 

 satisfaotorv with the exception of the lUrision of the purses, which 

 were divided on the lied "..rack Rahhit" .system. In this plan the 

 shooter was allowed ]0 certs ffir cver\- target broken above 50 per 

 cent. ; then the surplus w as divided a* follows: In the 10 bird events, 

 60 and 40 per cent. ; in the 1.5 bird events, 50, 30 and 30 per cent.; in the 

 20 bird events, 40, ."0. :-0 aiel 10 per cent, Several of the experts were 

 a little sore over tlie u ieaKer l eward thus obtained for their shooting, 

 Harry LeveoKSton's splendid record clearing only about $5, and that, 

 too, inth the addition of the award for first a.verage, when' under the 

 old conditions he wonld liave won four times that amount. This 

 "Jack h;ai)ijif system was designed to benefit the amateur shooters 

 who cannot shoot afiove a CO ] ii/i- cent, average, but as such poor shots 

 geuerallv keep out of sweepstake shooting, and always did, it is use- 

 less to cater to tbat class, It is safe to say that the "Jack Rabbit" 

 system \\ ill never again beemploj'ed at auy tournament of theKaatern 

 New York League.

The regular pi ograumie was to have been rounded out with a fifty-

The Altoona Shoot. 



A NEAT prograinuie has been arranged for the Altoona shoot of the 

 Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association, to beheld on June 

 21 and 23. The pi'ogranuvie j-eads as follows: 



"The ride to the Hhor..iing ixu k of the Altoona Rod and Gun Club is of 

 Itself sonrething w.ji ch seeiuK. In inany respects it is unique. A com- 

 paratively short tiiii'- atfpi- l^aviiiK the center of the city, the shooter 

 islanded l,ouOft.. above ihe level of .\ltoona, and a total of 2,660ft. 

 above the level of rhe sea. Tlie course taken by this railroad, a nar- 

 row gause one, is p<ieturesqne in the extreme. Winding in and out, 

 ever climbing upward, ihrongh fertile valleys and wooded ravines, the 

 trip is one not easil\- to be forgotten. The view from the road, as it 

 runs along the face id; tlie Wopsononock Mountain, is one of the finest 

 in the States and cannot lie .surpassed on this side of the Rockies. 

 Once arrived at the summit the shooting park is discovered not a 

 stone's throw from the depot, A capital club house has been erected 

 for the accommodation of the members. The light for shooting is 

 capital; in fact couldn't be better. Across the railroad is the Hotel 

 Wopso.'ionock, a favorite summer resort which opens on Jime 1, 

 where ll;e best of accommodation can be obtained at all times during 

 the season. Half a mile from the hotel is Point Lookout, the highest 

 point in the Alleglicny liange. At all times the view is very beautiful, 

 but on a clear day it is perfect, no less than seven counties being in 

 sight, five in Pcnnsylvaiii-n and two in Bfaryland,

Altoona Decoration Day. 



Altoona, Pa., June 3.— I inclose some scores made at our club shoo

 toned. The cause is not hard to seek— it was five unknown traps- 

 Everything looks promising for the shooting o i ;uue 31 and 22- 

 Shaner has got out a good programme, the mountain* ar ' ■ '-eJy just 

 now, and Wopsononock is looking her best. Edward B.i.vii.;.

Rivalry at Maple Bay. ^ 



SyBACCSB, June 2. — Charles H. Mowry, who has swept the boards at 

 all the shoots in this county for some time, met defeat in the shoot for 

 the diamond medal at Maple Bay yesterday, and his opponent was A. 

 G. Courtney, who recently returned from a long trip through Califor- 

 nia and Jlexico. There has been a spirit of rivalry between these men, 

 and when they met at the traps yesterdaj^ the fur began to fly. Both 

 were steady as rocks, and at the end of the 50 birds each had broken 

 44. In the shoot-off Courtnej' was Arm and shot with such precision 

 that he won by two birds. After that he shot for a record and suc- 

 ceeded in breaking 48 out of 50. Courtney's ability as a successful 

 shot dates back many years. He wfil wear the diamond medal for two 

 weeks. Mowry's shooting was excellent.

THE EUREKA GCN CLUB. 



Pleasant weather and a fairly good attendance favored the weekly

 probably be a .shoot on much swifter targets. Following are the 

 scores:

 ner 16, DeWolf 13, Bingham 22. Lang 6, Maltby 3, Steck 20. 



No. 2, club medal shoot, 25 bluerocks: Adams 23, Carson 12, Glover 

 21, Funk 19, Skinner 19, DeWolf 12, Bingham 25, Lang 6, Maltby 4, 

 Steck-20, Waters 15. Class A, Bingham. Class B, Glover. Class C, 

 Waters. 



No. 3, 25 bluerocks: Adams 34, Carson 10, Glover 21. Funk 23, Skin-

MOHEGAN, 



The Colt Club's Decoration Day. 



Hartford, June 6.— On Decoration Day the Colt Club had an all-day 

 shoot. Owing to the many attractions, and as most aU gun clubs had 

 a shoot of their own, the attendance was rather light, but what they 

 lacked in numbers they made up in enthusiasm, as some shot as many 

 as 300 times. The main attraction was the 100 target race, 12 entries 

 at $5, and as there had deen considerable talk and numerous wagers 

 as to the winner of this event, it created quite an interest. Among 

 the competitors are some of the best shots in the State. A high wind 

 that made the targets do a contortion act occasionally made perfect 



There is talk of another one before many days. M. F. Cook, Sec'y.

 on the Vermont side, however. They verj- rarely exceed 3 or St^lbs
