Forester Gan Club. 
Newark, N. J.— The Forester Gun Club had a good attendance at 
their Thanksgiving Day shoot. The weather was very raw and 
cold, with a northwest wind bIo\ving across the traps. The man- 
agement kept a good, warm club house and gave the shooters a 
lunch at noon, to get them in shape for the target events in the 
afternoon. Shooting started at 10 A. M., sharp, and kept up till 
dark. 
Event No. 1, was a live-bird handicap, optional sweep, 7 birds. 
Interstate rules to govern. 
The club has been making great changes on its grounds by filling 
in and having the new-style of distance handicap on targets. The 
shooting committee is at work on the club's programme for 
Christmas, which will be another live-bird handicap, optional sweep, 
starting at 10 A. M., and has got Al birds for the occasion. 
This will be followed by target shooting, and will have a number 
of handicap events to shoot. 
New Year's Day Shoot. — The members have decided to have an 
open house all day on Jan. 1, 1902, starting in the morning with a 
10-bird handicap, optional sweep. The club will give prizes to the 
men making the highest scores in this event. A grand lunch will 
be served at noon. Starting at 2 P. M., there will be ten events at 
targets — five 10-target events and five 15-target events— for optional 
sweepstakes. The club will add prizes to one of the l&-target 
events, with no cost to the shooter to enter, except price of tar- 
gets at 1 cent each. After the day's shoot the club will allow a 
rebate of 26 per cent, on all shooting outside of sweepstakes. The 
club does this to insure every one a good time for as little money 
as possible, and extends a -cordial invitation to every shooter to 
take part, as New Year's Day always starts another year's work.

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Eastern Championship. 
Interstate Park, L. I., Dec. 4.— The Eastern Championship, held 
at Interstate Park to-day, had nineteen contestants, New' Jersey 
being quite well represented, as well as New York. 
It was a day, in respect to weather, fit to try out the most skill- 
ful shooter. The wind was boisterously active at times, and the 
temperature was decidedly cold. A light skimming of snow cov- 
ered the ground in places. 
The competition was close. Out of the nineteen contestants 
twelve killed 20 or better. Three tied on 24, namely, Messrs, H. H. 
Stevens, of New Brunswick; Sim Glover, of New York, and T. W, 
Morfey, of Interstate Park. The ties between these three were shot 
off raiss-and-out. Stevens won in the eleventh round, Glover miss- 
ing in that round, and Morfey missing in the second. 
All stood at 28yds., wrich rates it as an inferior class of per- 
formance, from a championship viewpoint, as SOj'ds. is the recog- 
nized mark for a championship event of the first class. Neverthe- 
less, it affords a good preliminary school to competition for first- 
cJass championship.

WESTERN TRAPS. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Dec. 7. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day, on the occasion of the fifth trophy shoot of the 
first series. T. W. Eaton won Class A trophy; A. D. Dorman won 
Class B trophy, both on scores of 11 out of 12, while C. J. Wolff 
extended his mortgage on Class C by killing his usual 9. 
The day was an unpleasant one for trapshooting, the air being 
damp and very chilling. Quite a heavy fog hung over the grounds 
toward evening, making the shooting difficult. 
The birds were a mixed lot, among them being some very fast 
ones, while most were good average birds, with an occasional 
duffer. The attendance was fair, considering the weather con- 
ditions. 
At a meeting of the board of directors, held to-day, it was decided 
to divide our regular series of fourteen shoots' into two' series of 
seven shoots each; also tq divide prize inoney in the middle, ap- 
propriating one-half of it to each series. 
Members- must shoot in four of the seven contests of a series to 
be eligible to win a trophy, and trophies awarded are the four best 
scores made during the series. We adopted the -above plan on 
targets during the summer, and found it to give the most satis- 
faction and encouragement of any yet used.. All- members to be 
reclassified at the end of each series : . -

t-eam contest at live birds with the Baltimore Shooting Association. 
Also a team match with Baltimore and New York at 15 birds per 
man, one match in each city. Also J. K. Starr is now preparing a 
programme for a live-bird tourney, which will be shot on the 
grounds of the Keystone League early next year. The tourney will 
run through two days, and the principal event will be a 50-bird 
handicap, open to all, .$50 entrance. 
The challenge cup contest had ten contestants, of whom four

members of the Columbus Gun Club at live birds, on Nov. 28, the 
club disposing of over 600 first-class birds. The weather was good, 
with the exception of a high wind blowing directly across the 
traps, making it a difficult job to stop fast birds within bounds. 
Our local club expects to hold a big live-bird shoot, after the 
holidays, open to the world:

■Wesfmount Gun Club. 
Montreal, Que., Dec. 9.— There was an enthusiastic gathering 
of lovers of the gun at the Westmount Gun Club grounds, Mon- 
treal, Saturday afternoon, to witness the contests for the individual 
trophy between Messrs. Galbraith and Hutcheson, and the spoon 
shoot, open to the members of the club. 
The day was clear, keen and sharp, with a head-on wind that 
■madie the swiftly thrown targets very uneven in their flight — either 
skyscrapers or skimmers— like a frightened grouse whirring for its 
covert. 
Mr. Galbraith secured a win on the trophy with a score of 17 
against Mr. Hutcheson's 16. Dr. Oliver captured the best spoon 
with a score of 19 out of 20. Elliott took second prize with 16 
broken targets. 
In the uther events that followed, Mr. Nash smashed 24 out of 
25, closely followed by N. P. L., Kennedy, Elliott and James. 
Next Saturday Mr. Galbraith has to defend the trophy against 
Kennedy, and the wdnner then has to face N. P. L.; then comes 
Hutcheson, which event will wind up the trophy contests. 
Every shooter present used Robiti Hood powder, loaded and re- 
loaded in Robi« Hood shells. Stanstead.

accounting for only 3 of bis 5. Mrs, W. A. Leach kept score to 
the entire satisfaction of all, and Mr. W. A. Leach, in addition to

with a run of 14 straight. '
