Several members of the New Utreolit Gun Club and friends of 
Mr. Walter F. Sykes, president of the club, tendered a banquet 
and reception to Mr. Sykes at Interstate Park on Saturday even- 
ing the nth inst. While the banquet was quite a feature in itself, 
it was only one item on the evening's programme, the main feature 
being the presentation of a handsome silver berry bowl to Mr. 
Sykes,_ as an earnest and inadequate necognition of what he had 
done in the way of helping the club to the position it now oc- 
cupies. All the arrangements were in the hands of Messrs, J. H. 
Hallock and C. A. Lockwood. At the dinner Mr. Hallock sat at 
the head of the table, and was supported on his right by Mr. 
Sykes, and on his left by Mr. Lockwood. Among those who were

at the banquet in honor of Mr. W. F, Sykes, there was also another 
guest of the club present, who came from quite a distance, namely, 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, who had been busily engaged for two days 
in rearranging and renumbering the lockers at Interstate Park 
and generally getting things in order for the G. A. H. at targets, 
which is scheduled for a date in the month of July.

The second contest between teams of New York and New 
Jersey took place on the grounds of Smith Brothers^ Newark, 
N. J.j on Friday of last week. As with the first contest, it was_ an 
exceedingly close competition, though New Jersey won by 1 bird. 
There were eleven men on a side, and each shot at 20 birds. The 
scores were: New Jersey 181, New York 18S. In the first contest, 
Feb. 27, at Interstate Park, there were fifteen men on a side, 
each shooting at 25 birds,, and the scores were: New York 303, 
New Jersey 302. It was heretofore generally supposed that New 
Jersey could organize a team that would make a New York team 
look like a man who had missed a train, but the facts so far do not 
sustain this theory. It is possible that three more races may be 
arranged, the team winning three out of the five to be the winner 
Or one more race may determine who is who. The scores in the 
last race average low, but there was a heavy downpour of rain 
at the time, and the birds were mixed in quality, the good ones 
being what are called screamers. 
Mr. S. G. Miller, secretary of the Haverhill, Mass,, Gun Club, 
writes us as follows: "We will hold our all-day shoot Memorial 
Day, May 30. We extend a cordial welcome to" all shooters, and 
will do our best to make it a pleasant day for them." The pro- 
gramme consists of fifteen 10-target events, $1 entrance, a total 
of $15, at 150 targets. Distance handicap; Shooters whose average 
per

Its annual spring tournament, to be held May 22 and 23. The pro- 
gramme is alike for each day— ten events at 15 and 20 targets;

In the New I'ork -and New Jersey team shoot, in which twenty- 
two men— eleven on a side— were engaged, but one contestant suc- 
ceeded in killing his 20 birds straight. He was, and is, Mr. Wm. 
Hopkins, of Jamaica, L. I. He has, however, a distinct ad- 
vantage over all other competitors, inasmuch as he weighs about 
2."iOlb.s., and therefore can stand firmer on his feet on a stormy day. 
He also measures about 48in. around the chest, so that when his 
heart palpatates, there being room in his chest for the flutter, it 
docs not affect his evesight.

In the event at 7 live birds for a ehib prize of the New Utrecht 
Gun Club at Interstate Park last Saturday Mr. "J. H. Jack" won 
after killing 22 straight, of which 17 were shot in the shoot-off,

Hagedorii, who killed 21 in the same event, and of these 13 were 
killed with one barrel. 
Mr. J. J. P'leming, secretary of the Forester Gun Club, Newark, 
N. J., writes us as follows under date of may 12: "Our club for

gels in the afternoon. This is our last live-bird shoot till next fall. 
Optional sweepstakes in all shooting. Handicaps for merchandise

As.sociation should be held at Omaha. Mr. Geo. W. Loomis, of 
Omaha, was elected president; G. A. Schroeder, of Columbus, vice- 
president; H. S. McDonald, of Omaha, secretary. 
The distance handicap, the only common sense and equitable 
system whereby to conduct a competition with competitors of 
different degrees of skilly has the support of Mr. Chris (aottlieb, 
of Kansas City, who presents some .sound suggestions to our 
l eaders concerning it in another column. 
The Dunellen Gun Club won the three-man team target cham-

Bedford, Ind., May 9.— Since the programme is out for the 
annual tournament of tlie Indiana Trapshooters' League, to be 
held at this place under the auspices of the Bedford Rod and Gun 
Club, June 11 and 12, the question is being asked whether the shoot 
is to be confined to amateurs of Indiana only? I am pleased to 
say that it is open to all -amateurs of all States. W^e hope to see 
our friends from neighboring .States pay us a visit and enjoy the 
two days of .shooting in one of the greatest stone centers of the 
world. J. B. Stipp.
