ON LONG ISLAND* 
Trap at latefstate Park. — John 'Wrigtit's Shoot. 
Interstate Park, L. I., March 20. — A rainy morning was in- 
auspicious for a good day, but, while there was drizzling rain be- 
times and heavy, dull sk}', the conditions of the weather did not 
seriously affect the competition. There was a good attendance of 
shooters. Mr. Dona'd Deacon, of the New Utrecht Gun Club, acted 
efficiently as referee. The scores:

After deducting $75 for the price of the painting, there was $25 
left. After deducting 50 per cent, of this sum, there was ?12.50 
to be divided among the winners of second and third, so that the 
values were $87.50 to first, $7.50 to second and $5 to third. The 
share of third was 70 cents. Instead of a miss-aud-out the ties 
were shot off under the same conditions as the main event. Fol- 
lowing are the scores:

Event No. 3 of the programme was shot as No. 2, and was the 
main event, the prize being a painting of a trout. The pro- 
gramme was arranged very awkwardly, as follows : 
"First prize will be a $75 oil painting and 50 per cent, of en- 
trance money over and above fifteen entries. Second prize, 30 per 
cent.; third prize. 20 per cent, above fifteen entries. Class shooting, 
handicap rises. All 25 and 26yd. men one lost bird as dead. All 
27 and 2Syd. men one lost bird as no bird. Ties, miss-and-out, 
but any contestant can draw his share pro rata before shooting ties 
if desired." 
A fair forecast of the number of shooters would have been 
twentj% the number which actually participated. After deducting 
the price of the liirdsj there was $100 left.

New Utrecht Rod and Gun Club. 
Interstate Park, L. I., March 23.— A balmy day clear and bright, 
with a touch of springtime to gladden it, favored the shoot of the 
New Utrecht Gun Club to-day. There was a gathering of shooters, 
club men and visitors of mighty fame with the shotgun. All the 
visitors were scratch men, while many of the club members had a 
lost bird as a no bird or a kill. The result shows that the handi- 
capping was excellent. There was no wind, but it was not an 
easy matter to make full scores, for the birds were a mixed lot, 
with now and then a three-flap bird, one which goes out of the 
boundary in three flaps of its wings or mere. r ^i. i 
Mr Walter F. Sykes managed the shoot. A number of the club 
members further honored and dignified the event by bringing 
their wives. To the club members the day had an added sig- 
nificance inasmuch as the club rooms in the Casino were officially 
opened for the use of the members— and elegant rooms they are. 
The reception room is elegantly furnished with a view both to 
the comfortable and the beautiful. Pictures and mounted^ ^1^^ 
grace the walls, a cabinet contains articles all m keeping with the 
theme of soort, while elegant furniture and furnishing satisfy the 
taste of the most critical. The second room is equipped with 
lockers and things useful in respect to the members shooting 
paraphernalia, , , • • ^ , . , , , 
The prizes in the 20-bird event, of which the scores are here- 
with appended, were furnished by the club. The entrance was 
price of birds. There were prizes of mounted heads of different 
944 pioimted birdsr^five prizes for members and avc^ 
prizes for guests. The scores as a whole were excellent. There 
were thirty-six entries, and of these thirteen scored the limit.

Butte Rod and Gun Club, of Montana. 
Chicago, 111., March 2.3.— The annual meeting of the Butte- Rod 
and Gun Club was held last week in the Owsley block, with a 
good attendance. The treasurer's report showed $1,022.23 on hand, 
and other assets are a house and lot at the range and 22,000 blue- 
rocks. The secretary's report showed nine members, including 
those elected during the last year. Carl Engle was elected to 
m.embership last night. For non-resident members annual dues 
were reduced from $6 to $1. The election of officers resulted in 
practically a reinstallment of the present board as follows: Presi- 
dent, J, M. Steward; Vice-President, J. M. Spargo; Treasurer, A. 
Wehl; Secretary, C. H. Smith; Captain, A. J. Walker; Trustees,

The quaintly worded advertisement of Jos. A. Marks & Co. 
shows that the wants of sportsmen can be provided for in 
Detroit, and it might well enough be to the advantage of each one 
whose vacation is likely to be spent in the Northwest to send 
for their free catalogue. — Adv. 
Acetylene gas has come to stay, and when its brilliancy is 
considered it is not strange that it should have been applied to 
searchlights. Yacht and launch owners interested in such mat- 
ters will be inclined to investigate; the Baldwin Acetylene Search- 
light. — Adv. 
The camper who has been in the habit of lumbering up his
