shoot to-day had a crowded range, despite the rain, which came 
like April showers m Maine. A. H. I'ape got a fine score with 
rifle, and Young led with pistol, with Barley and Washburn close 
spcond and third men. Dorrell did good work at 50yds. with his 
..22<'al. center-fire, and Becker led with revolver. Page is picking 
«p marveloiisly with the revolver, as is Brannigan. Dr. Twist shot 
100 shots with pistol and made a 57 average, which is nearly equal 
to his shooting of 1900 for ten best scores. Mannel and Youn^ 
had a 50-shot match with rifles, against C. M. Daiss and G. VV. 
Hoff. The former team won the dinner, but the shooting was

The Sun of Feb. 13 published the following! "At a meeting of 
the executive committee of the Carteret Gun Club, held on 
Monday night, George S. McAlpin, former amateur champion 
wing shot, was called before the committee and received an op- 
portunity to resign from the organization, with the alternative of 
being expelled if he declined. McAlpin promptly handed in his 
resignation. This action on the part of the club is due to the 
alleged assault by McAlpin on Capt. Money about six weeks 
ago in the oflfice of the latter. The matter of the assault will come 
up in the City Court on Monday, but in the meantime McAipin 
is r.o longer desired as a member of the exclusive Carteret organi- 
zation. McAlpin until recently was a member of a number of 
s Bi d i.ther .'•pnrtinff clubs, but is now only a member of 
the Westminster Kennel Club."

Mr. G. R. Plumer, of Newport, R. I., writes us as follows: 
"Trapshooting promises to become very popular in Newport. For 
some years there has been more or less shooting, but of late quite 
an interest in the sport has been aroused, and on the evening of 
Jan. 29 a number of enthusiasts met and organized under the 
name of the Aquidneck Gun Club, the following officers being 
elected: President, Geo. R. Plumer; Vice-President, Wm. Dring; 
Secretary-Treasurer, J. S. Coggeshall, 2d; Executive Committee, 
Hon. VV. P. Clarke, Jr., Wm. Dring and A. Russell Manchester. 
The club starts otit with twenty-seven members, a club house 
has been contracted for on the line of the electrics, and it is ex- 
pected that the grounds will be formally opened early in March. 
It is expected that the club will figure prominently in trap- 
shooting in New England." 
Mr. Paul North arrived in New York on Wednesday of last 
week chiefly on business whose purpose was the promotion of the 
International team trapshooting contest. His trip resulted in a 
most gratifying success. He returned to Cleveland last Saturday. 
During a few idle moments on Thursday he was inveigled into a 
bowling contest by some of the shooters who had a good opinion 
of themselves as bowlers. Strikes and spares were to him as corn 
to a turkey gobbler. In a calm yet assured kind of manner he 
scored 205 in the first game, thereby doing much to prove that 
the East is really effete. The New York bowlers were in their 
u. g. f., so there are no excuses to make. Matter concerning the 
international race will be found in our trap columns. 
Mr. Carl Von Lengerke informs us that the programme of the 
grand all-day shoot of the Freehold, N. J. Gun Club tin Feb. 22, has 
eight everfts, 10, 15 and 20 targets, entrance 50 cents, 75 cents and $1. 
The third is a merchandise event for a Winchester gun, gun case, 
shell box and fishing rod; entrance 50 cents, privilege of re-entry. 
The Rose system will govern. Refreshments on grounds. Shoot- 
ing commences at 9 o'clock. The leaving time of trains is 5 
o'clock P. M.

be held under the auspices of the East Side Gun Club, of Saginaw,

open to all; handicaps on both targets and live birds. John 
Parker, manager. Address, John Popp, Saginaw, Mich., for 
further particulars. 
At Dupont Parle, St. Louis Messrs. C. Spencer and D. 
Cabanne shot a race at 25 live birds for the Mermod trophy on

of Mr. Cabanne. On Feb. 17, for the same trophy, Mr. C. M. 
Rock being the challenger and contestant, Mr. Cabanne was de- 
feated by the score of 23 to 20. 
The winning of first by Mr. J. D. Keenan at the holiday shoot 
at Interstate Park on Feb. 12 deserves more than passing prair.e 
and notice. The conditions of weather and competition were most 
trying the former being in every way unfavorable, and the latter 
being of the highest. Tne particulars are more fully set forth else- 
where in our trap columns. 
The shoots of the New Utrecht Gun Club, under the skillful 
management of Mr. W. F. Sykes, the club's president, held at

testants.

and was high man for the day, his percentage being a trifle better 
than .985. He ran straight m eight 15-bluerock events. On the 
second day he seemed to be out of his u. g. f., for he lost 6 out 
of 210. yet was hifh at that, though his percentage was only a 
trifle better than .9SS. 
The programme of the West Chester Gun Club's annual Hve-

Mr. Henry G. Hall, of Newell, Ta., informs us that the date of

from May 15 and 17 to May 1, 2 and 3, as the former dates con- 
flicted with those of the Iowa State Association. 
On Feb. 18, in the Tombs Police Court, New York, before

fying success in his capacity as traveling agent for the Peters 
Cartridge Co. He has displayed an aptitude for the business which 
forecasts a lasting success. 
Mr. C. W. Phellis, secretary, writes us as follows: "The

Trap at Dupont Park. 
St. Louis. Mo., Feb. 10. — The fourth shoot here to-day for the 
Dupont Park medal brought out the large entry of forty en- 
thusiasts, and the result was another victory for Fred Fink, who 
won the medal at the last shoot, two weeks ago. 
The weather was bright and crisp — ideal for the sport — but the 
birds were largely mixed with poor ones, and the consequence was 
a large number of straight scores. On the shoot-off Fink killed 
17 more straight. The full scores were:

At 2:30 Chris Heiligenstein, the flying Dutchman from Free- 
berg, 111., took a turn at his invincible highness, Mr. Champion 
Cabanne. but it was of no avail. Heiligenstein shot brilliantly at 
times, making many fine kills, while at other times his work grew 
unsteady, and he ended with the rather poor score of 19. And 
Cabanne — well, he just kept on killing them, and while he had 
the best of the draw, it vi'asn't luck but his good shooting that 
won him the race. The birds were selected, and strictly first- 
class. Cabanne was at 31yds., Heiligenstein 30. The scores:

St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 13. — Charley Spencer to-day made his third 
attempt to get possession of the Mermod trophy, this time chal- 
lenging Dute Cabanne. But there seems to be a hoodoo for 
Charley attached to this trophy, for he lost again to-day after 
making a strong race for it. The birds were exceptionally fast, 
and were aided by a good wind. This was the mist interesting 
race for the St. Louis championship that has yet been shot. Both 
men stood at 31yds. The scores were: 
Spencer 22*1211222022222221202222—22 
Cabanne 1220212*21121212122221222—23 
Chas. M. Rock, of O'Fallon, 111., immediately challenged 
Cabanne, and the race was shot at Dupont Park Feb. 17 at 10:30 
o'clock. The birds were not an ordinary lot in this race, with now 
and then a screamer. Cabanne did not shoot up to his usual form, 
v.'hile Rock's work was clean and steady throughout. They both 
shot from the 31yds. mark. The scores were:
