South Side Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., Feb. 17.— The weekly shoot of the club brought 
out more than "the usual number of shooters, although the day was 
as disagreeable as could possibly be picked out for a shoot. A 
blinding snow storm was raging all day, and a 60-mile-an-hour 
wind made the targets very unsteady in their flight The shooting, 
however, considering these conditions, was very good. 
The feature of the dav was a five-men team race between the 
Forester Gun Club and the South Side Gun Club, the latter win- 
ning bv a score of 81—96. Considerable friendly rivalry has 
existed between these ten chaps for some time, and as the Forest- 
ers still think they have the better team a return match may be 
looked for before long.

Trap Afoand Reading^. 
Reading, Pa., Feb. 10. — The annual live-bird championship shoot 
of the Mt. Penn Gun Club was held on Feb. 3, but the banquet, 
which had to be paid by the losing team in the shoot, was held this 
evening. 
The conditions of the shoot, held Feb. 3 on the Stony Creek 
grounds, were 12 bird each, 28yds. rise, 6Uyds. bottndary. The birds 
were a fine lot of flyers, and caused the shooters trouble. Yeager 
and Strohecker each killed 10 out of the 12, and the tie was not 
shot off for the handsome live-bird championship medal, which was 
held in 1899 by Albert Yeager. It was decided to shoot oit the tie 
on Feb, 22 at Stony Creek, at 15 live birds. M. Rlioads, Hill and 
Sparley each killed 9, and they will also shoot on Feb. 22 for the 
handsome gun case offered for second prize. 
At a meeting of the Mt. Penn Gun Club, President Harry Saylor 
appointed Albert Y'eager and George Rhoads to captain the two 
teams, the losing team to pay for the supper for all, the scores 
made in the club championship shoot to count in the team shoot. 
Teams consi.=ted of eight men, the team captained Yeager winning 
by 1 bird. The score: 
Rhoads' Team. Y'eager's Team.

The banquet, or the best part of the programme, as the boys 
called it, was held this evening at Laird's Cafe on North Sixth 
street, this city. With the cigars came the talking. President 
Harry Sa^'lor, toastmaster, referred briefly to the members who 
have passed away since the club started in 1S93, when the banquet- 
ers, all standing, drank a silent toast to the absent ones. Treas- 
urer Albert Yeager was then introduced as the "father ot the 
club," and made some remarks concerning the Mt. Pann's growth 
as a gun club. Chick Dietrich, the club's little comedian, read a 
poem, specially for the occasion, written by himself, entitled, "How 
It Happened that They Were Beaten," and received tremendous 
applause. Harry Ball responded to the toast, "The Ladies." After 
the toasts were all responded to the banqueters retired to their 
homes, havinp; decided it the "finest" the club ever had. During 
the banquet the Germania orchestra, which were hidden behind a 
bower of palms, rendered beautiful selections.

Boston Gun Ciub. 
Wellington, Mass., Feb. 17. — The sixth shoot of the Boston 
Gun Club took place at Wellington, Wednesday, Feb. 14, in a wind 
that bothered all the shooters alike. T'velve tried their best to 
overcome its score-killing tendencies, but at the end of the 
afternoon found as usual they had come out of the encounter 
second best. The two previous AVednesdays, minus all wind, had 
scarcely prepared the members for best work, but o'd Boreas 
planned a renewal of acquaintance with his popular playground 
regardless of all minor considerations.
