Boston Gun Clob. 
Fourteen shooters successfully negotiated the second prize shoot 
of the Boston Gun Club at Wellington Wednesday, May 4. The 
afternoon was leisurelj' occupied with about 100 shots apiece, fully 
dilated upon below, Williams, the slowest shooter on the grounds, 
but armed with a cannon to even up discrepancies, taking the 
first place in prize match with 28. 
The regular afternoon programme was extended at 5 o'clock, 
owing to the appearance of some Harvard College shooters and 
their friends eager for practice in anticipation of the intercollegiate 
event Saturday, May 7, at New Haven, Conn. The traps conse- 
quently suffered no lack of patronage between the hours of 2 
and 6. A team match for practice solely was improvised between 
Harvard and a picked team, composed partly of some ex-members 
of the Harvard Shooting Club. The erratic wind and dubious 
light interfered with particularly fine scoring on the part of 
either team, but the Harvards emerged with 20 to the good. Events

Htidson River Trap-Shooters' League. 
The second shoot of the series, given under the auspices of the 
Hudson River Trap-Shooters' League, was held on the grounds of 
the West Newburgh Gun and Riffe Association, May 4, 5 and 0, 
Newburgh, N. Y. There was a good attendance, and a gratifying 
success so far as financial residts are concerned. Next season it 
is expected that in view of the benefits accruing from organized 
efifort, many more of the clubs within the territory cultivated by 
the League will join the membership. 
The events of the first day numbered ten, at 10, 15 and 20 targets, 
at a uniform entry of |1, with price of targets added, which at 2 
cents made $3 for the 150 targets thrown, and $10 entrance, a 
total of $13 for the first and second days respectively, or $26 all 
told. Those who preferred could shoot for targets only. To the 
shooters making tlie best averages in the regular events during 
the two daj'S, $50 was divided into six parts, 111, $10, $9, $8, $7 
and $5. Ten per cent, of the entrance was set apart for this 
money. Mamifacturers' agents and non-members of the League 
were barred from the regular purses, but not from the general 
averages. The purses were divided according to the Rose sys- 
tem. 
WEDNESDAY, FIRST DAY. 
The weather was cloudy, with a murky atmosphere and a dull 
light, yet not unfavorable for good work with the gun. The 
sky background brought out the targets distinctly, and the gen- 
eral conditions were favorable for good scores. Twenty-eight 
shooters participated in tlie competition. Seven extra events, 
Nos. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17, were also shot. The scores were 
as follows:

THURSDAY, SECOND DAY. 
The weather was unfavorable. It thickened up till about noon, 
when a light rain set in, which about 3 o'clock increased to a steady 
fall, which continued till after the day's shooting was over. The 
team race did not fill up to expectations, no doubt the bad 
weather being the cause of the light entry. The scores were:

FRIDAY, THIRD DAY. 
The third day was devoted to live-bird shooting. It opened with 
a practice event at 3 birds, in which five of the shooters took 
part. In it Mr. Hull made his first attempt at live-bird shooting, 
yet he grassed his 3 prettily. 
No. 2, the 21st event of the programme, was the first of the 
day's regular events. It was at 5 birds, $5. No. 3 was at 7 birds, 
$7.50. No. 4 was at 10 birds, $10. This was a total of $22.50 for 
the three events. However, several of the shooters shot for birds 
only, 
A stiff wind blew from the traps to the shooters, causing a good 
deal of annoyance to the shooters from pieces of burnt powder 
blowing back in their eyes, and in several instances a loss of a 
bird from inability to see in shooting the second barrel. 
The birds were a mixed lot, some very fast and strong, others 
slow and easy. 
After the programme event had been concluded, a miss-and-out 
was shot, seven contesting, Dowd winning on a score of 6 
straight, Swiveller and Post missing their 6th birds.

WESTERN TRAPS. 
TEAM RACE AT MILWAUKEE. 
Eau Claire, Wis., May 5. — ^A team race at live birds is being 
arranged at Milwaukee for some future date, in which Richard 
Merrill and George L. Dciter will compete with Dr. J, K, William- 
son and John Plankinton, Jr., in a 100-bird race. These are the 
leaders in wing shooting in Milwaukee, and should make a pretty 
race. The contest will probably take place at National Park. 
LITCHFIELD. 
The Litchfield Gun Club, of Litchfield, Minn., elected officers 
last week as follows: President, P; J. Boland; Vice-President, 
W. Shultz; Secretary, E, O, Hammer; Treasurer, C, Berkner; 
Field Marshal, P. E. Planson. The regular shoots will be held 
on Thursday afternoon of each week at 4 o'clock. 
STILLWATER. 
Members of the Stillwater Gun Club, of Minnesota, who are 
here at Eau Claire shoot, say that they will make it worth while 
for all shooters to be present at the Stillwater tournament. Messrs. 
Murry and Torinus and their friends from that enterprising club 
are good representatives of the sport. E. HnDGH.

CUNNYNGHAM-PATERSON. 
Chicago, May 7.— The shoot-ofT of the tie between A. C. Pater-' 
son and V. L. Cunnyngham for the Chicago challenge trophy took 
place on the afternoon of May 6 at '2 o'clock P. M. at Watson's 
Park, John Watson acting as referee. The day was cool, with 
an overcast sky, and a strong wind blowing from the left quarter. 
The birds were a good lot. Among them were many strong flyers, 
and largely outgoers, as shown by the score of flights. 
Mr. Cunnyngham did not shoot in as good form as in the 
previous contest. Most of his losses were from shooting his 
birds behind, while Paterson centered his birds well. It was 
expected that the result of the shoot-otf would have been much 
closer. A large and enthusiastic number 01 friends of the con- 
testants were present, but the interest was somewhat lessened by 
the wdde difference in the early part of the race. 
The handicap was: V. L. Cunnyngham to stand at 29yds, and 
shoot at 26 birds; A. C. Paterson to stand at 30yds, and shoot at 
25 birds.

those mentioned are W. L. Shepard, John Amberg and Thos.

week. 
EUREKA GUN CLUB. 
The Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, held its regular weekly 
target contest to-day on the club grounds, corner Vincennes ave- 
nue and Seventy-ninth street. The day was clear, moderately 
cool, with a brisk wind blowing across the traps from the left 
quarter, which had a tendency to beat down the targets and make 
many low ones. The attendance was good for this month, pos- 
sibly on account of the favorable weather, and all retired from 
the field perfectly satisfied only when the last shell was shot.

GARFIELD GUN CLUB. 
_ The Garfield Gun Club, of Chicago, which suffered the loss of 
Its club house by fire recent!}', after looking over all the available 
grounds in their territory, with a view to changing their location,

as those enjoyed by them for the past several years, and have 
finally decided to rebuild their club house on the Old grounds, 
corner West Madison and Fifty-first streets. 
The first shoot of the season will be held on Saturday, May 14,

Charlie Budd tourney at Des Moines, and other Western tourna- 
ments, fhe Colonel shows himself to be in fine form as usual. 
Mr. Hallowell has been laid up here with chills and fever for the

The Elliott— Heikes Match. 
Kansas City, May 6.— Kansas City to-day is in the throes of 
war, the local militia having been called out and are to leave to- 
night for St. Louis to get a taste of camp life before the serious 
era of war. Consequently the Elliott-Heikes shoot for the Kansas 
City Star cup was a side issue, and drew only about 400 people. 
Ihe weather was ideal for trap-shooting, but the war conditions 
were calculated 'to make it a secondary affair. The birds were a 
fair lot, but were badly trapped. They were good, hard flyers, 
put the system of flagging was bad, and many good birds were re- 
fused m consequence. 
The race was a close and exciting one, Heikes having the best 
of the first quarter by 1 bird, while at the .50-bird point Elliott 
led by 1. In the third quarter Heikes killed straight and Elliott 
was 1 behind, but in the fourth quarter Elliott killed 24 to Heikes" 
22, and won out by one bird, the final score being 94 to 93. 
Both combatants used the Winchester pump gun, and many 
good kills were made by the second barrel, although the second 
in some instances held fire and some of the long kills were con- 
sidered lucky, Elliott shot the same gun through, but Heikes 
changed about the half-mile post. Heikes used the new gun, which 
IS split at the barrel and can be packed the same as a Greener, 
Smith or Parker, and he made some very pretty kills. 
The birds were strong, but uneven in their flight, and out of the 
13 that escaped but few were missed clean, nearly all showing 
signs of shot marks.
