The daily press recounts a most grievous accident which befell 
the famous trap shot, Mr. H. Yale Dolan, of Philadelphia, on 
Monday of this week; "Robert Toland brought the news to Phil- 
adelphia that H. Yale Dolan, the son of Ttiomas Dolan, of the 
Didener-Dolan-Elkins street car syndicate, had been accidentally 
shot and seriously injured by his brotlier Clarence while they 
were hunting on a marsh of the Chesepeake Bay, close to Havre 
de Grace, Md. The two brothers had separated, and both were 
shooting behind blinds. Clarence was the iirst to start a bird, and 
as he whirled around to shoot at it his brother came into range. 
Owing to the blind, Yale Dolan was not in sight of his brother, 
and Clarence did not know of his presence until Yale shouted 
that he had been hit. Then Clarence found that some of the shot 
had hit his brother in the breast and had passed close to the 
heart. It was seen at once that 'Mr. Dolan was seriously injured, 
and every care was given to him until physicians, wlio were 
hastily summoned, arrived. They ordered that .Mr. Dolan be car- 
ried to Havre de Grace as quietly as possible. A vehicle was ob- 
tained, and he was removed to a hotel. There the physicians 
made a closer examination of the %younds, and finally said that 
while Mr. Dolan was seriously injured the wounds were not 
necessarily mortal. They,^ advised against removing Mr. Dolan 
to his Philadelphia home, as tiiey thought that the strain of 
traveling would be too much for him." 
The exceedingly sound and interesting communication by 
"Gaucho," published elsewhere in our trap columns, is worthy of 
the careful perusal and the remembrance of all trapshooters, as 
well as of all who can appreciate good common sense. There are 
some shooters who would benefit by reading it daily for a month 
or two, and some, whose memory is bad, would benefit by reading 
it monthly for an indefinite time — that is to say, in respect to the 
men who forget in one month that they had been severely drubbed 
in shooting competition the month before — so that they may have 
glimmerings of freedom from the thralls of suckerdom. 
On last Saturday, on the groimds of the South Side Gun Club, 
Newark, N. J., in the contest for the E C cup, emblematic of the 
championship of New Jersey, Mr. F, E. Sinnock, the holder for 
some time past, was defeated by Mr. George H. Piercy, of Jersey 
City. The result on the 50 targets was a tie, each scoring 43. 
In the shoot-off at 10 targets, Piercy broke 9, Sinnock 8. Mr. 
C. W. Feigenspan challenged the winner, and his challenge was

out, won the cup in the twelfth round. The Election Day cup, at
