Westchester and Phcenix gun clubs was shot at FhoenixyiUe, la., 
.on July 17, thirteen men on a side, and resuUed in a win by the 
(latter club by a score of 237 to 224. This shoot was the first shoot 
.repeated there being a disagreement concerning the scores ot the 
ifirst shoot. The weather was exceedingly hot, but, notwithstand- 
iing the consequent discomfort, a large number of spectators were 
giresent. 
On Thursday, Aug. 2, the third and last shoot for the cup

'The eminent trapshooter Mr, Edgar Gibbs Murphy retiirned from 
lEurope on the Lucania on Saturday of last week. Mr. Murphy is 
.quoted as declaring that Mcintosh, of Australia, is the greatest 
ming shot in the world. His performance with the gun goes far 
ttaward establishing his claim to first honors.

Auburn, Me., July 22. — The Auburn Gun Club held its weekly 
shoot yesterday, nineteen members being present, including three 
.new ones, and they made very good scores for beginners. The 
•.shoot yesterday seemed like some of our shoots last year, when we 
:always had a crowd and a good time. There were about 1,000 
•targets thrown yesterday, which is quite an afternoon tourna- 
iment. 
There will be no shoot next Saturday, as the Portland Club 
'ihas been challenged for the Lovell badge by the Androscoggin 
Club, and as every club in the State is entitled to put in a five- 
auen team. We shall send one, and a lot more of the boys are 
going just for the sport; in fact, \ve always go down to see the 
ff.ortland boys every time we can think up an excuse for going. 
I inclose one of our programmes for our third annual tourna- 
ment, which will be held Aug. 8, which is Wednesday of old home 
week; anfl ss this is to be the old home week holiday we expect 
<jiuite a goo& crowd with lots of sporting blood in them. By the 
way, that feilltew with the swelled head lost the badge yesterday.

Zancsville Gun Clab. 
^SHSSVILLE, O., July 17.— Please announce in your very excellent 
pastor (fcf which I have been a reader for fully ten years) that the 
Zan<f3y,iUe, O., Gun Club will hold its tournament for 1900 on 
Sept. -^ST- We expect to make this the largest event of our career. 
A programme will be arranged to satisfy experts and amateurs 
alike. Special prizes will be given, with added money to each, and 
by such ;firrangements we can reasonably hope for a large at- 
tendance, *s the club is an old and good one, and former tourna- 
ments given almost partook of the nature of a State one. In 
this our suipreme effort we hope to even surpass former efforts. 
As soon as the programme is made out I will forw^ard same to 
you for publication, and after the Cadi reads same we will expect 
a letter .of commendation. L. A. Moore, Sec'y. 
Ciiesapeafce Gun Club. 
The most interesting shoot in the history of the Chesapeake Gun 
Club was held by that organization. 
Live pigeons were used and the scores, as may be seen by the 
results given herewith, were excellent.

ticipating and the scores were:

Latimer 4, Gallagher 3, J. Ware 5. Milstead 3, Phifer 3.

Boston Gun Qub* 
Wellington, Mass.— What last week was in wind this week 
made up for in heat, and to say it was warm expresses it mildly; 
but nothing, from cold and snow to wind and heat, alters the 
shooters of the Boston Gun Club, and nine of its members were 
out Wednesday, July 18, to participate in the last shoot of the 
series scheduled for the summer of 1900 and witness one of the 
most interesting finishes that have taken place in our prize series 
for many seasons. Up to this time .Spencer was high with 102, 
with Horace a close second at 99. The latter having a low score 
of 17 to Spencer's 20 to improve on, made the standing about even, 
providing both shot their average gait. Horace finished to-day's 
score for 22, and Spencer, shooting last man, had 14 out of the first 
15, needed the last 10 straight to tie on total, but would outrank 
through our rule of the most regular attendant, winning on such 
occasion. However, his eighth bird eluded the shower of shot, and 
the first prize went to Horace, one of the younger shooters, whose 
shooting during the series has been steady and good. The honors 
of the dav belong to Mr. Baker, who put up the fine score of 24 
and raised his total to 104. It is safe to say had he attended more 
shoots he would have been a promising aspirant for first or 
second place. The closeness of the prize scores again proves the 
efficiency of the distance handicapj and it is gratifying to note 
that other organizations in their efforts to resuscitate the waning 
enthusiasm of the rank and file of trapshooters have at last de- 
cided to give this most commendable system a trial, although in 
the past they have in a good many cases been the distance handi- 
cap's most strenuous opponents. 
It is with the greatest regret that we record the loss of a most 
valued member, Mr. S. S. White (whose shooting cognomen of 
SheiSeld will be recollected by readers of our reports in the 
past), who passed away at his home in A¥akefield, Mass., on the 
19th inst., after a lingering illness. This will be sad news, for his 
host of friends in the shooting fraternity spread throughout the 
entire country, as his business necessitated extensive travel, and 
an ardent love for the gun and rod, coupled with the most genial 
and manljf qualities, would naturally form friendship ties of the 
strongest character wherever kindred spirits were found. .

Naromafce Gun Club, 
South Norwalk, Conn., July 21. — Herewith arc the scores of 
the Naromakes at their second monthly shoot. The attendance 
was good, all things considered. The local shooters did not show 
up as they should have done. The magautrap worked well, and 
President Gehrmann again demonstrated his ability to run a shoot 
smoothlv and well. 
Miss Hyland shot through the programme, as did Miss Clinton, 
and both ladies put up very good scores. We hope to have our 
future shoots graced by their presence. Delegations of shooters 
attended from New Haven, Bridgeport, Kensico and Newburgh. 
The visiting shooters who rolled up good scores were Messrs. 
Bartlett, Marlin, Hyland, Carpenter, Bassett, Potter and Bristol. 
For the home club Messrs. Fox and Drake shot in their u,sual form. 
Date for our next open shoot will be announced later.

McKay was successful on the fine score of 45, and Mr. Saucier, as
