Portsmouth Gun Qtib* 
Portsmouth, N. H., May 30.— The Portsmouth Gun Club~ held 
an all-day shoot on their new grounds, on Christian Shore, yester- 
day, and in point of attendance it was the largest trapshooting con- 
test ever held in this vicinity. Fifty-five shooters were entered, and 
some fine scores were made. The new magautrap worked like a 
charm, and the sportsmen were enthusiastic over it. There were 
present to enjoy the day members of the clubs from Dover, 
Exeter, Boston and Concord, while the local shooters were never 
so largely \ represented. Many of the business and professional men 
of the city were present and took a hand in deiHolishing the 
whirling clay pigeons. 
The out-of-town guests arrived early, and Dover and Exeter 
were well represented, while Messrs. William and Horace Kirk- 
wood were present from the Boston Gun Club, and assisted in 
placing the trap and otherwise conducting the shoot. 
The presence of Messrs. William and Horace Kirkwood, of 
Boston, added greatly to the pleasure of all, as they are thorough 
sportsmen, expert shots, and the best of friends and companions. 
The local gun club always feels honored by their presence, and 
gladly extends a welcoming hand to them. 
Mr. Rowe, of the Concord Gun Club, with sportsmen from 
Rochester, York, Kittery, Rye and other places, were present, and 
all entered very heartily into the enjoyment of the sport. 
Fully 4,500 targets were thrown during the day. 
The event of the day's shooting was the cup contest between 
teams from Exeter, Dover and Portsmouth. This is the first in 
this season's series of interclub shoots, and much interest was 
manifest. Last season three shoots were held, and each club 
by turn captured the trophy, leaving it in the hands of the Dover 
team. This season it is expected to hold six shoots unless the 
cup is won in three successive shoots by any one club before the 
tournament is completed. As the clubs are fairly well matched 
this seems hardly probable. 
The first shoot resulted in a victory for Exeter. 
The highest individual score was by Carlisle, of Exeter, who 
scored 19 out of a possible 20, and was very heartily applauded. 
The next shoot in the series will be held in Exeter on the Fourth 
of July.

Millbroofc Gtin Club. 
MiLLBROOK, N. Y., May 31.— The Millbrook Gun Club held its 
first open shoot on May 30. On account of the bad weather only 
seventeen shooters turned out. It had ramed for six days, and 
looked as if it might continue on Thursday morning, which kept 
many away who had decided to come. Inclosed please find scores :

Titusville G«n CItib. 
TiTusviLLE, Pa., June 2.— Although several contests for a local 
medal had taken place previous, on Decoration Day occurred prac- 
tically what might be termed "opening day" of the Titusville Gun 
Club. On this occasion Oil City Gun Club members to the num- 
ber of fifteen came to give the home club a "send off," and from 
their arrival at noon until late in the evening the shooting was 
fast and furious. At the conclusion of the event the visitors, who 
are true sportsmen, clever shots and genuine gentlemen, were 
banqueted at the Mansion House. So great was the crowd of 
spectators that it interfered not a little with shooters getting to 
the score. However, all enjoyed themselves hugely, and the 
shooters from the Hub of Oildom (where the next Interstate shoot 
will occur) were loud in their praise of the local organization as 
entertainers. The scores follow:

Aabom (Me.) Gon Clou. 
Auburn, Me.— The morning of May 30 dawned damp and 
dismal, and the outlook was enough to put a damper on the 
spirits of the most enthusiastic trapshooter; but in spite of un- 
fsvorable weather, twenty-one shooters answered the "roll call" 
at the Auburn, Me., Gun Club's annual tournament and shot 
through the programme of the day. 
Waterville, Portland and Androscoggin gun clubs were repre- 
sented, and some very good scores were made, considering the 
day. Waterville again won the Lovell diamond badge, breaking 
222 targets out of a possible 250. The Auburn team came next, 
and Portland third. Hunnewell was high gun for the day.

WooNSOCKF.T, R. I.— The second regular programme of the 
season was shot on Saturday afternoon at the club grounds. Un- 
favorable weather conditions prevailed, and' high scores were not 
the order of the day, but the enthusiasm of a true trapshooter is 
proof against north winds, driving mist and low scores. Nos._ 1
