Philadelphia Trap-Shooters' League. 
Philadelphia, May 1.— The third tournament of the Philadelphia 
Trap-Shooters' League was held to-day under the auspices of the 
Forest Gun Club, on its grounds, Twenty-seventh street and Lehigh 
avenue. 
The League has become very popular with the trap-shooters of this 
vicinity, and has come to stay. 
As was expected, the attendance at to-day's shoot was very large, 
and preparations had been made to throw 10,000 targets from' the two 
sets of traps, but about 9 o'clock the wind was blowing a gale directly 
in the faces of the men; and at times blew strong enough to drive the 
targets back over the screen, and twice they fell back over the score 
line. To make it more uncomfortable, heavy showers, with 10-min- 
ute intervals, began about 1 o'clock- In the face of the high wind 
and driving rain the team race began at 3 o'clock, and because of the 
efforts of the men to dodge the drops, was not flnistied until nearly 
dark. Some of the teams had a very long handicap, and the Wayne 
Gun Club, "to-day's winner," shot at 114 extra targets and finished 
with the total of 14S. The Independent Gun Club team, now shoot- 
ing from scratch, finished in ninth place. 
New handicaps are arranged for each team race, and are based on 
the percentage.plan, all previous scores being used in making up the 
average. The team having the highest average at eaeti time of cal- 
culation to shoot from scratch, 130 targets. In the three tourneys to 
date this has fallen to the lot of the Independents, and the probabili- 
ties are that tbey will continue to shoot at the same number and no 
more. The scores follow: 
Wayne Gun Club! Kane (19) SO, Soistman (19) 38, .Cheyvez (19) 27,

Hill Top Gun Club. 
AusTERLiTz, Ky.. April 22.— Inclosed please find scores made to-day 
at the shoot given by the Hill Top Gun Club. The weather was fine, 
the only fault being the strong wind which was blowing. Mr Alfred 
Clay gave a free dinner, and that was one place where the boys 
killed straight, no dropping for place, and all ties shot off in this race. 
The grounds looked tine with ttie American flags floating from the 
top of the club house and the boundary stakes. 
Although there were few shooters present, they all had a good 
time. It was the first, time a magautrap was used in Kentucky. Jay 
Clay was present, shooting Winchester shells loaded with Blue Rib- 
bon; J. H. Mackie, representing the Peters Cartridge Co. and the 
King Powder Co., was also present and showed up the Peters New- 
Victors in great shape. Tom Clay won first average, thereby re- 
ceiving a picture entitled "Quick Shot," donated by the King Powder 
Co., of Cincinnati. Jay Quiucey Ward won second prize and 100 New 
Victor shells, donated by the Peters Cartridge Co., of Cincinnati, O.

Haverhill Gun Club. 
Haverhill, Mass , April 25.— Monday, April 19, was Patriot s Day, 
and we held our opening shoot for the season of '97 on that day. two 
facts that made it a notable day for the members of the HaverhiU 
Gun Club. 
The weather was something awful, from a trap-shooting point of 
view; a strong southwest wind blowing across our grounds with the 
force of a young h'orricane, causing the targets to perform all sorts 
of antics and making good scores an impossibility to inexperienced 
shooters, such as comprise the bulk of our members. 
The shooting opened at 9 A M. and continued all day, and most of 
the boys shot through the programme, which consisted of the usual 
proportion of 10-bird events at unknown and regular angles, two 
■'snips" shoots, two events at reversed traps and two handicaps fer 
prizes, the first a 39 bird, distance handicap, and the second a 50-bird 
handicap for the silver canister W-A powder presented by the Laflln 
& Rand Powder Co , with a handicap allowance of birds as broken to 
members compating. 
Herewitb are the bcores made in the handicap: 
Fifteen targets, regular angles, distance handicap: Short (IS) 3,

April 27.— A holiday shoot was held to-day on the grounds of the 
Bergen County Gun Club, Hackensack. Team races, sweepstake 
events, souvenir spoons and a high gale of wind were the order of 
the day. Twenty men faced the traps, and their scores, which are 
given below, show that the shooting was very creditable, especially 
en the part of the new members of the club, as will be seen by a 
comparison of their scores with the scores of George Piercy, Capt. 
Money and L. Piercy, whose proficiency in target smashing is of the 
highest order. The honors of the day were very evenly divided. 
John R. Banta, the new captain of the club, and President George P. 
Griffiths conducced the sboot admirably and without the least evi- 
dence of friction, and the day closed on one of the most satisfactory 
shoots of the season. The following is the score:

annual Fast Day shoot of the Androscoggin Gun Club. There was a 
good attendance, thirty-one shooters being present We shot under 
a good, stiff northeast wind, which made the targets go along some. 
The fourth and fifth evenfs were for merchandise prizes; No. 7 was 
at 25yds. rise. We had a jolly, good day's sport, and the boys are all 
warming up with great interest for the Interstate shoot, Aug. 4-5.- 
We shall no doubt have a large attendance at that shoot from this 
State, and hope to make a good showing to our friends from other 
States. Below are to day's totals:

Eureka, of Chicago, 
Chicago, 111., April 23— A special meeting of Eureka Gun Club, of 
Chicago, was held at the Sherman House this evening with small but 
business-like attendance. President Carson in the chair and Secretary 
W. A. Jones at the desk. The affairs of the club were reported as 
being highly prosperous, with a great interest evidenced in the opep- 
ing days of the shooting season. Numerous applications for mem- 
bership were on file, and the following new members were elected' 
Messrs. A. C. Borroff, AV. H. Oornwell. G. W. Murrow, W. F. Reber 
C. E. Felton. R. Kuss, A A AValters, H. A, Boodker, W. H. Prickett 
W. Stanley, F. H. Lord. Robert Clark, Charles C. Hess. All the foreJ 
going will be notified to morrowand several will shoot at to-morrow's 
sboot. Dr. A. W. Morton was reinstated to membership, and thg 
resignation of E. C. J. Cleaver, now located at Joplin, Mo., was ac? 
cepted. A letter from Hon. Thomas Marshall was read. It inclosed 
dues for the year and stated that the writer had had pleasure ip 
representing the Eureka Club in the Grand American Handicap an (} 
in carrying its colors to first place. Notice was served by W. A- 
Jones for an amendment to the by-laws to be acted upon at nesj 
meeting, amending Section 11 of Article XIII , to effect that hereafter 
on any application for membership the secretary shall send out 
notice of the fact to all members of the club, and unless at least 
three unfavorable reports come in from the members, the proposecj 
man shall become a member upon payment of the proper fees. 
On motion of Mr. Buck a committee of five was appointed to look 
into the matter of forming a stock company of the Em-ekaClub 
membership, with the purpose of purchasing suitable permanent 
grounds for fitting up into perfect club quarters. This motion had 
some little discussion, buc all present thought the idea a good one. Jt 
is not in the least unlikely that tPis wide-awake club will buy grounds 
and fit them up nicely within the present year. A locality near Ken, 
sington, on the Illinois Central Railroad, was mentioned as being pos- 
sibly desirable. The chair appointed the following to act on tbe 
above comiuittee: Messrs. O. J. Buck, A. C. Paterson, W. H. Corn- 
well. J. L. Jones and E M Steck. 
It was practically decided that the club will hold a two days' target 
tournament some time this summer, possibly in July, or earlier, open 
to all, with some added money, shooting to be under the Rose system. 
This matter will come up at another special meeting, which -WUl be 
held next Friday night at the Sherman House, the call for which will 
be sent each member, stating that at that time there will come up 
the questions of this tournament, the amendment above cited as pro: 
posed, and the problem of organization into a joint stock company. 
A good turnout should ensue, and there is little doubt that the cliilj 
will take prompt actjoo 00 these interesting points, 5. HoytjiH.
