Championship of New Jersey— E. C. Cup Contest. 
May 24. — The contest for the championship of New Jersey and 
the E. C. cup, which represents it, took place at Elkwood Park 
to-dav between Mr. Philip Daly, Jr., the holder, and Mr. 1. \\ . 
Morfev, the challenger. The weather was clear and pleasant. A 
stiff w'ind blowing straight in the faces of the shooters, as they 
stood at the score made very difficult shooting. Morfey was shoot- 
ing in fine form, while Daly' was shooting much below his ordmary' 
ability. Manv of the targets were "dusted." Morfey shot in 
much' the quicker time, wliich was an advantage under the existmg 
condition of wind, flights, etc. The scores were: Morfey 43, 
Daly 36. , , . 
Mr. .M Ivans was referee. Messrs. Hobatt and Waters were 
judges.

Central New Jersey League. 
New Brunswick, N. J., May 27.— There was a strong wind and 
the targets were far from easy. The conditions were five-men teams, 
each man to shoot at 25 targets. There were three teams, a fourth 
and fifth contesting on a prospective membership, but as they 
were not elected till after the shoot on account of the late arrival 
of other members, their scores did not count. Their scores were: 
Columbia Gun Club, of Perth Amboy— De Worth 11, T. Bloodgood 
12, Disbrow 15, H. B. Bloodgood 12, Little Jim 13—63. 
Brunswick, of New Brunswick— Capt. Bunk 19, Voorhies 14, 
Erwin 14, Sperling 15, Oakley 18—80. . 
The regular team contests were between th€ ReseirvEiir Gun 
Club of New Brunswick; the Dunellen Gun Club, the Climax 
Gun'Club of Plainfield, and the Brunswick, of New Brunswick.

lows: Horse, harness and bike wagon, value $400; upright Shon- 
inger piano, $350; building lot, $300; Domestic sewing machine,

Brooklyn Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, L. L, May 27. — There was a good attendance of 
shooters at John Wright's weekly shoot to-day. He had several 
desirable prizes, one of which was a gun case, contested for in 
No. 5 event; the other a box of cigars, and was the feature of 
No. 7. No. 8 was the shoot-ofl; of the latter. Each event was a 
handicap. The scores and handicaps in No. 5 were: F. A.

for cast-iron trophy were:

Quite a number of the lovers of tbe shotgun gathered at the 
regular fortnightly shoot of the Pawtuxet Gun Club, among the 
visitors being Mr. North, of the Cleveland Target Co., who 
happened to be in Providence on a business trip, and it was 
perhaps fortunate for us that he was, as we had the first little 
hitch with the magautrap that we have had in two years. He 
straightened it out all right in a jiffy. Mr. North also had a 
chance to try the tautog fishing in the bay, which he improved 
by catching not only the largest, but also the smallest fish in 
the party. The trip was organized by Treasurer Root, and the 
secretary also had a chance to go. Perhaps Mr. North can explain 
why he didn't. , , ^ 
We also had quite a delegation present from the Centerdale 
Club Secretary Reiner, Harry Swindell, Sweet and Naylor being 
present. All of the events were optional sweeps except the 
sixth, which was also the regular club badge shoot. Hugh 
Bain won first class badge with the score of 23, and Mooney 
the second class with 19. The cast-iron trophy shoot was won 
by W. Thoene, who has been challenged by Repeater, the shoot 
taking place next Saturday. This is shot for from one bluerock 
trap, trap and handle for each other. All the other shooting was 
from' the magautrap, which worked finely as usual.

White Plains Shoot. 
WaiTt Plains, N. Y., May 25.— The two days' tournament o£ 
the White Plains Gun Club, under management of Geo. Molenaor, 
drew all that could be desired in fair skies and gentle zephyrs, but 
few shooters turned out on the first day. Although advertised 
to begin at 10 A. M. sharp, the first event started at 2:30 P. M., 
with seven entries. The new grounds are a decided improvement 
on those formerly used by Molenaor, and were in good order. 
One of the pleasant features of the day was the shooting of Miss 
M. E. Hyland, of Tarrytown. She shot in quick form, centering 
her targets beautifully and grinding them to dust. Her position 
at the score is perfect. This young lady should soon be in the 
first rank of target breakers, and I regard her as a strong op- 
ponent in her present form. Mr. W. Verplank filled the office 
of cashier and entry clerk very satisfactorily.

Sioux City Programme. 
The programme that the Soo Gun Club has arranged for its 
fifth annual tournament, June 6 to 9, is just such that should please 
the average amateur, consisting chiefly of short events. The 
programme is precisely the same for the first three days, on which 
there will be 15-target events, $L50 entrance, or $15 per day. The 
fourth and final day there will be btit seven events. Nos. 1, 3 
and 5 will be 15 targets; Nos. 2, 4 and 6, 20 targets. Though No. 4 
is a two-men team race, teams can comprise any two men on the 
grounds. No. 7, the last event of the day and shoot, will be 50 
targets. The purse in this is divided into five equal moneys. 
On the first three days there will be $100 average money each 
day, divided into ten averages of $10 each. This will go to the 
ten high averages. Then there are also five special merchandise 
prizes, which go to the five low averages on each of these days. 
The purse in all events, unless otherwise stated, will be divided 
four moneys, 35, 30, 20 and 15. On the last day the club will add 
10 per cent, of the net purse to each. This I infer to mean target

guns, who remain longest in the shoot-off. • ' ' .
