ON LONG ISLAND. 
Carteret's Amateur Championship. 
Feb. 23.— The amateur championship held at Garden City, L. I., 
yesterday and to-day, under the auspices of the Carteret Gun Club, 
was quite as successful this year as in the past. The attendance 
'of spectators was not as Jarge as usual, but this was in a great 
measure ^ owing to the inaccessibility of Garden City as com- 
pared with Larchmont, where all previous contests for amateur 
championship honors have been held. 
The entry list of fourteen was quite satisfactory, and the qual- 
ity of the birds far above par. On the first day the birds were 
handicapped by the dull weather and easterly wind, but still they 
flew very well, many of the birds being properly termed 
"screamers." On the second day the wind had shifted into the 
northwest and blew strongly from that quarter; the day too was 
bright and clear, consequently under such circumstances extra 
good birds became an extraordinary lot, and scores ruled very 
low considering the quality of the shooters. 
C. S. Guthrie, of Pittsbmg, Pa., a member of the Herron 
Hill Gun Club, of that city, and also a member of the Carteret 
Gun Club, lead all the way until the 90s were reached, looking all 
over a winner. Somehow he lost his time completely and let 
six consecutive birds get away from him in the 91st to the 96th 
rounds, inclusive. This break settled his chances, and Hooper, 
who had been shooting consistently well, went to the front and 
carried off the Mackay cup, $560 and the championship title 
with a score of SS out of 100, a score that is really far better 
than it looks on jaaper. 
Geo. S. McAlpin, of the Carteret Club, was second with 87, 
by virtue of a stroiip- rally in the last 25 birds. On the first day 
McAlpin was in second place with 47, being tied with Hooper; 
thus his chances were decidedly rosy. The third 25, however, 
seemed to throw him out of the race entirely, as he lost 9 out of 
the 25, his tliird string showing only 16 kills 1 Then came the 
brace, and he ran out his last string with 24 out of 25, finishing 
after all only one bird behind the winner. Welch, last year's win- 
ner, also shot a good race, but he spoiled his chances of a 
high score by a failure in the third series of 25, the series that 
was so fatal to many a good man. He scored in all 86 birds, 
ending in third place, two birds behind Hooper, the winner, and 
one behind McAlpin. 
Fred Hoey has not been doing any shooting lately, but at 
times, and particxilarly on the good birds of the second day, he 
shot more brilliantly than ever, Two bad breaks in his third 
and fourth strings are alone responsible for his position of "tied- 
for-fourth" with Guthrie and Duryea. Guthrie's shooting has 
been referred to above. Duryea, who was not feeling at all well 
on the second day (and by the way this remark applies to Mc- 
Alpin and Welch equally with Duryea), shot a good race, but 
could not keep up steadily 'at his work on the second day. In 
consequence, he let slip more than one good chance of landing 
higher than fourth. 
D. I. Bradley, a good, steady shot, could not go the pace set 
by the leaders on the first day, Guthrie, the high man at the 
end of the 50th round, Icadincr him by 5 birds. He kept ijluckily 
at it, and scored 21 out of 25 in the fatal third series, his total 
in this series being high, and tieing the scores made by Guthrie 
and Hooper. His fourth series was a poor one, and he dropped 
out in the 98th round with 17 kills out of 22 shot at in that series. 
W. S. Edey and Leonard Finletter both withdrew at the end of 
the 90th round with 73 kills to their credit; Stafford also withdrev^ 
in the same round with 69 kills. C. M. Chapin kept in the race 
until called out at the end of the 75th round, his score of 23 
out of his first 25 being the result of some very taking shooting. 
B. F. Jones, of Pittsburg, Pa., a member of the Herron Hill 
Gun Club, of that city, was dropped at the end of the 50th round 
with a score of 40, while H. B. Gilbert, of New York, was also 
ruled out with a total of one less, viz., 39. G. B. Hutchings, 
of Dallas, Tex., made a poor start and retired at the end of the 
41st round with a total of only 27 kills to 14 misses. 
Below is a list of the winners'

Hooper's Grant gun had 31in. barrels; both his shells and 
McAlpin's were Winchester factory-loaded. Welch's shells were 
loaded partly by Krider, of Philadelphia, and partly by the U. 
M. C. Company; Hoey's shells were loaded by Dannefelser, and 
Duryea's by Von Lengerke & Detmold, while GtiUirie's shells 
were loaded by Louis Lautenslager, of Pittsburg. 
How the Traps Fell. 
The traps fell as given below, the figures showing that No. 1 
trap was pulled a great deal oftener than any other trap, while 
No. 5 was also above the average. No. 4 was just about as near 
an average as any trap could be, a total of 1,188 being shot at in 
the event; this made 236 about an average for each trap,

WooDLAWN, Feb. 26.- The birds were splendid; good day and 
time. Alan seemed to be the unfortunate one to-day, as all his 
birds were corkers. Adams had rather easy birds. The club 
will hold a target shoot March 5 at Dyker Meadow. We have 
adopted the point system of scoring, namely, one point for 10 
birds, one-half for 9, one-quarter for S. Thus Fangham and Thomp- 
son each had one point at this shoot, and Ferguson one-half, 
Hattenroth one-quarter.

Sistersville Rod and Gtin Club. 
Feb, is. — The follownig score was made on the grounds of the 
Sistersville Rod and Gun Club this afternoon over a magautrao' 
Dade 1111111111111111111111111—25 
ailllllllllllllHllllHll-25-50 
-.I- — 1—51 
This score, coupled to tlie 49 out of 50 made by Dade at last 
practice shoot on the 12th, gives him the best record on the local 
grounds, 99 out of the 100, and 100 out of 101 shot at, with, 90 
straight breaks, he having missed his 11th target. 
In addition to the above this afternoon, there was quite an ex- 
citing race between Messrs, F, B, Sweeney and Dick Wise, of the 
local gun club, and Mr. W. G. Shipman, a visitor from Oil 
City, Pa. The scares are— by positive orders from the contestants 
— withheld from publication, although I am allowed to state that 
Mr. Shipman was declared winner by a very small margin, the 
scores of the three being a tie until Mr. Shipman fired his last 
shot and broke his target. ' Ed O. Bower.
