Golden Gate Club were over warming up their weapons for the 
regular initial shoot, which will be held next month. This club 
will bank on its popularity by giving, on July 9, a public shoot.

ROEEL. 
In the primary problems of trap-shooting there is one which 
has a perpetual interrogation mark, namely: In what way does 
it advance the sport to bar a manufacturer's agent who shoots at 
an 80 per cent, gait, when there are a number of amateurs who 
shoot between a 98 per cent, gait and 90 per cent. ? Who will 
answer? 
Through an oversight in our report of the New York State 
shoot, Mr. H. Ducker was mentioned as being a manufacturers' 
agent. Under date of June 17 Mr. H. P. Collins, of Baltimore, 
informs us that Mr. Ilucker has no connection with the Du Pont 
Company as an agent.

MR. W. R. CROSBy, 0 FALLON, ILL, 
Winner of Inanimate Target Championship, 1899; winner of 
Board of Trade Badge, 1898 and 1899, scoring 98 live birds straight 
in the former year and 60 in the latter. 
Jack Fanning, the representative of Gold Dust powder, will 
undoubtedly be amused when he reads in a Western sportsman's 
paper that he was at the Garfield Gun Club's grounds in Chicago 
two weeks ago last • Saturday and only scored 12 out of 25 blue- 
rocks. He will probably ask some intimate friend if he is. himself 
and then sit down and try and figure out how he could be in 
the East and in Chicago on the same day. 
A report is in circulation, and has been taken up by the daily 
press, that the Interstate Association has bought a tract of 
land for the purpose of establishing a trap-shooting ground. 
There is no truth in this,- so far as the Interstate Association 
is concerned. Such a plan is under consideration by others, but 
has not reached the decisive stage set forth by the daily papers. 
On June 24, at Elkwood Park, Long Branch, N. J., the pro- 
gramme is sweepstake shooting at live birds, The main event is 
a handicap at 20 birds, $20 entrance, handicaps 25 to 31yds., ties

Hicks, standing at 81yds., .contested for the Chicago challenge 
trophy. The latter won. Score 23. to 21. Messrs. Hicks, Palmer 
and A. C. Paterson have each won the trophy five times. 
The Minneapolis Gun Club will hold Saturday afternoon shoots 
through the rest of the season to accommodate the large number 
of members who can shoot on Saturday and not in the regular 
shoots on Thursday. 
The Forester Gun Club, Albany, N. Y., will hold its second 
annual tournament on July 26, and it will be open to all, Mr. 
H. H. Valentine will be manager. H. K. Sweny is .secretary.

By mistake, the annual midsummer tournament, to be held at 
Ocean City, Md.. on July 26 to 29, was mentioned in our last 
issue as fixed to be held on June 26 to 27. 
The Hastings Gun Club, of Hastings, Neb. has postponed its 
tournament until fall, so we are informed by Mr. W. S. Duer, the 
vice-president. 
In the Montgomery Ward badge contest, Julie 16, at Watson's

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Broofclyn Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, L. I., June 17,— There were a resolute company of 
shooters, with a serious eye for gun work, at John Wright's del- 
icatessen shoot to-day, the prize for which all longed being the 
Francotte gun, of which this shoot was the seconrl of the series. 
A few sweepstakes were shot as a preliminary canter to the main 
race. There were twelve who scored the total number of possible 
points, namely. Banks, Waters, Dudley, Dr. Webber, C. von 
Lengerke, B. Amend, Paterson, Martin. Wright. Dr. Creamer, G. 
Remsen and Dressel. Dr. Webber, who has a national fame as a 
revolver shot, bids fair to be as eminent with the shotgun soon, 
as he with very little practice is shooting close to a 90 per cent, 
gait. He scored 47 out of 50 in the main event to-day. 
The weather was pleasant, and there were several visitors on 
hand who watched the shooting with interest 
Banks and Von Lengerke each smashed 49 out of 50 in the main 
event and far surpassed the others in time, precision and results. 
Following are the scores in full, with handicaps, in the Francotte 
gun event :

Haverhill Gun Club. 
Lynn, Mass., June 11.— Editor Forest and Stream: The annual 
meeting of the Haverhill Gun Club was held on the 12th inst. and 
the following officers elected to serve for the coming vear: Ed J. 
George, President; Chas. Griggs, Vice-President; Ed C. Black- 
burn, Secretary; N. C. Tozier Treasurer; S, G. Miller, Captain; 
H. E, Tuck and Geo. PI. Leighton to serve in connection with 
president, secretary and captain, as the executive board. 
The finanacial showing of the club was in the highest degree 
satisfactory, and the accessions to the membership list for the 
past year far exceeded in point of numbers their expectations, . 
Our officers, as elected, are of course the best we could select, 
and it is safe to venture the assertion that on the occasion of our 
moiithly meetings, as well as any occasion calling for an extra 
session, the list of "pro terns" should be exceedingly short. 
Among other things, the club voted to hold an all-day shoot on 
Friday, Aug. 11, with the hope that some, if not all, the shooters 
attending the Portland Interstate would stop off a day on their 
return, giving us the opportunity of witnessing a "scrap" among 
the "wolves," and allowing our members to renew the ac- 
quaintances • which began so pleasantly at the Interstate tovurna- 
rtient last year. . . 
The committee for arranging the shoot has been appointed, and 
the programmes will be furnished later.
