Mr. Geo. H. Piercy, of Jersey City, N. J., has challenged Dr. 
W. L. Gardiner, of Orange, to contest for the E C cup, em- 
blematic of the target championship of New Jersey, and has 
fulfilled all the conditions required in that respect. Undoubtedly 
his challenge will be accepted. The match should be one of 
great -interest. They are both exceedingly strong shooters, and 
very near alike in class, exTTpt at such times as one shoots better 
than the other.

Mr. Herbert Taylor, of St. Louis, a well-known representative 
of the Dupont Powder Company, and famous in shooting circles, 
is a visitor in New York at present. He, with Mr. Edward Banks, 
was fortunate in witnessing the great race between the Columbia 
and .Shamrock II. on Saturday of last week. It is probable that 
Mr. Taylor will return to St. Louis the last of this week— all too 
soon to do justice to the few merits of the eft'ete metropolis.

heart and a skillful shooter of record, was in New York on Monday 
of this week, en route from Philadelphia to his home. In the

The Eau Claire, Wis., Gun Club has actively promoted the 
interests of its tournament, which will be held on three days, be- 
ginning on Wednesday of this week. A feature of the meeting 
is a match between Air. E. M. Fish, secretary of the club, and 
Mr. L. Fulton, of West Superior, Wis., for the H. C. Hirschy 
live-bird trophy. 
We are informed that the final contest for the Republic 'cup will 
not in all probability be shot till some date in November. To 
make the final competition of more interest, it would add to the 
cup's prestige and associations if some matches were shot for it in 
the meantime. 
Messrs. D. Bradley and R. A. Welch, of the Carteret Gun Club, 
leave some day next week for northwestern Nebraska, where tfiey 
purpose to enjoy a period of prairie chicken and sharp-tail grouse

redoubtable shooters.
