I'aris, Ky., Jan. 6.-^The third annual crow and target sli'oot of 
tlie Hill Top Gun CKib began on Jan. 4, on tlic grounds of tUe 
club, near this city. The weather was very rough, and prevented 
successful score making. The attendance "the first day was large. 
,\ very high wind blew from the west, a veritable hurricane of 
forty-five miles an hour, preventing any record-breaking scores; 
but' the shoot was very interesting and enjoyable both to the 
shooters and spectators. Many of the crows, after being killed 
drifted out of bounds and were lost to the score. 
The second day opened cold and promised a good day's sport, 
but the rough weather and the prevalence of the grip prevented 
many from attending. Nevertheless, the event of the day, the 
"crow championship of the world," was won in one of the best 
shooting events ever held on the grounds of the club. George 
Williams Clay and Thomas Henry Clay, Jr., tied with 2.5 straight, 
and Harvey Chenault, of Richmond, showed a good second with 
one miss. The shoot-off between George Williams Clay and 
Thomas Henry Clay, Jr., was at 5 birds, and again they tied, each 
having 4 to his credit. A second tie was shot off, with 
George Williams Clay 5 straight and Thomas Henry Clay. Jr., 4. 
The trophy for this event was a handsome solid silver goblet, en- 
graven with the words "The Crow Championship of the world, pre- 
sented by the Hill Top Gun Club to ." The name of Mr. G. W. 
Clay will be engraven upon the cup at the instance of tlie officers 
of the club. The cup was presented to the champion by Mr. Alfred 
Clay, the president of the club, with appropriate remarks, and the 
response showed the appreciation in which the receiver held the 
trophy won after such a contest. This was the banner meet given 
by this club. Not only was the score very excellent, but the social 
features were pi the most agreeable character. 
Each day the visitors were treated to a genuine Kentucky burgoo, 
served with old-time hospitality. The shoot was voted as one of 
the most successful sporting events of the season.

Boston Gun Clafa. 
WellixgtOn, Mass., Jan. 4.— Just a full squad negotiated the 
iiflferent events at WelHngton, Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 4, the 
other half-dozen apparently being bluffed by morning downpour. 
They failed to take into account this variable climate of oursj 
which is capable of greater expansion than two extremes within 
six hours, consequently missed a pleasant January afternoon. 
The usual breeze arrived on time, thus the scores in the individual 
match were distinctly above the average. Straights were com- 
paratively easy for Gordon, who made 3; Woodruff, Spencer and 
Miskay 1 each. 
The double event proves always the trying time for those 
mxious to make a good impression in the match. A good score 
m the singles is quite liable to be robbed of splendor by a poor 
>ne on the pairs; nevertheless an excellent plan to follow is to 
nake sure of the singles and trust to luck on the others. Then 
f making no errors on the first bird one is sure of three and a 
jossible chance of one out of the three second birds dying of 
right, if not accurate aim. A trite remark often made" at the 
jeginning of this event is "Remember, you can't score a pair 
mless you get the first bird," so it behooves the anxious amateur 
:o take a careful first aim before giving much consideration to 
he second. Sometimes we do it, sometimes we don't.

The New Jersey Championship at Newark. 
Jan. 5.— The All-day target shoot of the East Side Gun Club, of 
Newark, on Smith Brothers' grounds, was well attended, the main 
attraction being the contest between Messrs. T. W. Morfey and 
Louis H. Schortemeier for the E C cup, emblematic of the cham- 
pionship of New Jersey. Competition for this cup was open only 
to residents of the State of New Jersey, who are members of 
clubs who are members of the N. J. State Sportsmen's Associa- 
tion, but^it was placed in open competition at Hackensack, N. J., 
on Dec. 7 last. Schortemeier defeated fifteen competitors by the 
excellent score of 47 out of 50. Morfey immediately challenged for 
It, placing $10 forfeit and a written challenge in the hands of the 
secretary of the E. C. & Schultze Powder Co., thus taking the 
necessary steps to qualify. The targets were thrown after the Ser- 
geant system, unknown angles. It was the fifth event shot, and 
was witnessed by a large audience. Schortemeier was not in his 
usual good form. His time was slow, and he made hard shooting 
for himself thereby. Schorty lost 9 out of his first 25, while Morfey 
lost but 6, and then had the race well in hand. 
Among the noted shots present were Capt. A. W. Money, who, 
has almost entirely recovered from his recent illness; Mr. Edward 
Banks, J. Fanning, J. J. Hallowell, Ed. Taylor, and others. The 
famous visitors shot for targets only.

On the evening of Jan. 7 the New Haven Gun Club held its 
eighteenth annual meeting. Officers were elected as follows- Pres- 
ident, H. H. Bates; Vice-Presidents. J.- B. Robertson, C. B Bristol 
and F. A. Sherman; Secretary and Treasurer, J. B. Savage. Cash 
prizes for the last six months were given out as follows on'a total 
of 90: C. B. Bristol, 82, $11.40; second, L Bassett, 78, $7 80- third 
H. O. Whitney, 77, $5.20; fourth. N, D. Stevens, 75 $2. The 
treasurer's report showed a good standing in the club,' with cash 
on hand $618.21 and no debts. The by-laws were amended to read 
that all membtrs of five years' standing should be exempt from 
the dues for the ensuing year, the idea being that the cash on 
hand in the treasury is already sufficient to meet all probable ex- 
penses. The monthly shoots were voted for the second Wednes- 
day of each month in the afternoon, gnd prizes of $8 are to be eiven 
each month, t. . - § ""t
