Dec. 25. — The Hudson Gun Club had a shoot at Marion on 
Christmas Day. The shoot was fairly well attended, aboxit half 
of the members being present. The day was fine, but the wind 
blew directly across the traps, making shooting somewhat diffi- 
cult. After the regular shooting was over live-bird shooting was 
indulged in by some of the members. The birds were furnished 
by Mr. Bock, and were a fair lot.

The Buffalo Team Championsfiip. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 21.— This afternoon, on the grounds of the 
Audubon Gun Club, the first of a series of three live-bird shoots 
for the team championship of the City of Buffalo took place. The 
prize will be a handsome silver cup emblematic of the sport, and 
is a beautiful piece of work. The individual scores were as follows, 
each man shooting at 15 birds: 
Audubon Club— F. D. Kelsey, 15; C. S. Burkhardt, 13; E. C. 
Burkhardt, 12; total, 40. , „ ^ 
Cazenovia Club— F. N. Alderman 18, Dr, Woodbury 12, R. C. 
Stacey 10; total, 35. 
Bison Club— Foxey 11, Bauman 11, Garrett 8; total, 30. 
In the sweepstake event at fifteen live birds Kelsey scored 15 
straight, Mack and Cooper 14 each and R. H. Hebard 13. 
The second of the team contests will be held on Tuesday, 
Tan. 4, at the Bison Club grounds. 
On New Year's Day the Audubon Club will hold an open all- 
day target shoot, and $50 in cash prizes will be given away. All 
shooters are invited to participate. 
Some New Year's Day Shoots.

Newark, N. J. — South Side Gun Club. Targets. 
Newark, N. J. — East Side Gun Club. Live birds.

We hear from Hot Springs, Ark., that Jno. J. Sumpter's prepara- 
tions for his big mixed shoot Feb. 15-19 are progressing rapidly. 
Judging from the number of letters he is receiving now, and also 
taking into consideration the fact that there Is no big shoot 
scheduled for this winter, John Sumpter says that he expects to 
have in the neighborhood of 100 shooters present on the atjove 
dates. He also says that if there's only two or three present,- "that 
$1100 added money goes all the same." Speaking about his shoot 
last year, Sumpter says : "Last year lots of the boys would have 
attended my shoot, but they Jost their rolls at .Santone." Quite a 
lot of truth in that last remark, Mr. Sumpter. Further down in 
his letter, Mr. Sumpter says: "I know you are a strong advocate 
of the Rose system, but I'm going to give a money shoot; and as 
a recompense to the amateurs will tax the' experts that 50 cents 
extra, and divide the proceeds among the amaieurs." 
Owing to the copy of the programme of the Hamilton, Ont., 
Gun Club for its shoot Jan. 18-20, that was intended for us, having 
been misplaced in the mail, owing, probably, to the rush of Xmas 
matter, an extended notice thereof cannot be given in this issue. 
We have, however, on previous issues, described the main features 
of the events scheduled for the tournament. Amateurs should re- 
member that: "Every known expert or professional shooter must 
get into first or second place in the target events, or he will not be 
entitled to any part of the money." Next week we shall ti. and 
review the programme a little more thoroughly; but we woula ad- 
vise all those who purpose attending this shoot to write to Mr. 
H. Graham, the club's secretary, American Hotel, Hamilton, Can., 
asking for a programme.
