The E. N. Y. League Tournament at Albany. 
The third tournament of the Eastern New York Trap-Shooters' 
League, of the series of 1894, was held undar the auspices of the 
West End Gun Club, of Albany, N. Y , Tuesday, Aug. 7. Trap-shoot- 
ing events on this circuit, aside from the weekly competitions at the 
gun club grounds, are not likely to attract a large patronage in the 
month of August, and the fact that the Albany meet gained a good 
attendance may reasonably cause the West Enders to lay the flatter- 
ing unction to their souls that they stand well in the estimation of 
their league brethren and are pretty solid with the trap shooters r>f 
eastern New York generally. Trap-shooting has for years invariably 
fallen off in this particular summer month, and why it should pa««eth 
my understanding, unless it be that the opening of the season for 
field shooting, or a portion of it, has occurred in the eighth month of 
the year. August woodcock shooting it was that formerly enticed 
the sportsman afield; now, alas, the shooting of ruffed grouse is by 
law permitted as early as the fifteenth of this month, and many gun- 
Jiers avoid trap work at or before the opening of the season for 
shooting wild game as being detrimental to the quicker methods 
required to kill birds in the jungle-like growth of surrmer and early 
fall covert. So we are feeling prettv serene over the fact that at our 
meet there were many gunners who have gained renown in the 
"brush," and who good-naturedly set aside their prejudice against 
trap practice at this time of year and joined the squads at the firing 
points on our tournament day. We were favored with fine weather, 
and though the sun shone brightly there was no great discomfort 
felt at the exposed firing points and scorer's station, the dreaded 
muggy condition of "dog days" being entirely absent from the clear, 
still air. The weather thickened to ward nightfall and a shower fell, 
but the moist visitation came long after the report of the last gun had 
ceased its reverberations over the vast stretch of sandy country to 
th 3 west of the little suburban hamlet of Shaferville, where the West 
End Gun Club's ground is located, 
Of those in attendance at the tournament the local contingent con- 
sisted of Secretary Kratz aod the well-known shooters, Greer, Sanders 
Buesser, Cargill, Leon, Stone, Taylor, Keays, Reineck, Peters and 
"Pop" Gove. Among the visiting shooters were "Uncle Sammy" 
Goggin and John T. Betts of Troy, Hart and Lynch of Loudon vilie, 
H. M. Levengston, Jr., of Saratoga; Parker J. Staples, Dr. B L 
Mosher and their good "Ladd," of (iranvillo, and from the more far- 
away places came George A. Mosher. the popular manager of the 
Syracuse Arms Co., and our own beloved Green Mountain man, Myron 
F. Roberts of Rupert, Vt. 
The equipment of the West End Gun Club is a fairly good one, and 
includes a full battery of 5 bluerock traps, with electric pulls, but on 
the occasion of which I write, traps Nos. 1. 2 and 5 worked badly, 
breaking bird after bird in the carriers, and all because of their inse- 
cure fastenings, which permitted a violent rebound nearly every time 
they were sprung. This annoyance the shooters bore with character- 
istic patience, but wouldn't Paul North's dark eyes have glittered 
with iadignation and disgust if the swarthy Cleveland boy could only 
have been present and seen the wretched handling of these creations 
of his inventive genius? 
The events of the day consisted of five 10-bird. four 15-bird and one 
20-bird sweeps, all shot at bluerock targets. The entrance fees ran 
from $1 to $2, and the purses in all events, except the first, were 
divided 40, 30, 20 and 10^. The birds were thrown at a slashing good 
speed, at sharp angles, and the averages of the leaders in the race are 
praiseworthy, to say the least. Their records, and those of the others 
who chipped in to swell the purseB and enjoy the day's sport, are 
given in detail herewith:

Welch Defeats Dando. 
Robert A. Welch of the Riverton Gun Club on Aug, 9 won the Riv- 
erton challenge plate for the fourth consecutive time, defeating 
Thomas S. Dando, also of the Riverton Gun Club. The match was at 
100 birds each, 30yds. rise, 50yds. boundary. At times both men shot 
in first class style. Welch was weak in the beginning of the match 
while Dando killed his first thirty-two birds in fine style. As the 
match progressed Welch braced up while Dando weakened percepti- 
bly. Welch made some very pretty shots, his 29th, 33d, 78th, 84th and 
97th birds being about as hard as any seen on the Riverton grounds 
for a long time. Dando also made some very prettv shots, his 10th, 
21st, 65th, 71st and 80th birds being hard ones. This match was the 
seventh for the possession of the Riverton plate which was first won 
on May 5 by Fred Hoey. Hoey was defeated by George Work, the lat- 
ter also defeating Dando. Welch then challenged Work and defeated 
him by one bird. Since then Welch has met and defeated Fred Hoey 
James Wolstencroft and Thos. S. Dandc. The record to date stands- 
Welch has won it four times; Work twice and Hoey one. The next 
shoot will be between Leonard Finletter and Welch, which will p-oba- 
bl v take place at Riverton next week, The score:
