The World, one of the most immoderate of organs in its oppo- 
sition to the interests of trapshooters, recently published the fol- 
lowing: "Bound Brook, N. J., Feb. 2S.— Twelve of the crack live- 
bird shots of New York paid a visit to the Bound Brook Gun Club 
yesterday and participated in a live-bird shoot for a $50 gun. It 
was impossible to learn all of their names, buC two were identified, 
they having shot here before, Capt. Money and Jack Fanning. It 
is understood the men visited Bound Brook with the intention of 
looking around for ground, as the bill forbidding pigeon shooting 
in New York has just become a law." First of all, it is a fair 
inference that the shoot was their own affair; that furnishing 
their names to every wild-eyed sensationalist was not necessarily 
a duty, and that a visit to one State by the citizens of another is 
not an "invasion." 
On Wednesday of last week Gov. Odell signed the pigeon bill, 
repealing the special law which legalizes the shooting of pigeons 
at the traps in the State of New York. It will be Chapter 61 of 
this year^ laws. The sportsmen take the prohibition quite 
philosophically, and will recognize and obey the laws, as good 
citizens should. There is yet an open question whether or not 
pigeon shooting at the traps is cruel, as there is no law specifically 
prohibiting it. There is now only the general law concerning 
cruelty. In several of the States, under a similar law, it was 
judicially held that pigeon shooting was not cruel, but in this 
State it was held, so far as it was carried judicially, that it was 
cruel, though we think it never was carried to the higher courts.

Mr. Harold Money who has been in St. Louis, Mo., during the 
past year or more, filling an engagement with the Western Car- 
tridge Company, arrived in New York on Saturday of last week. 
He was in fine health and spirits. He has accepted a position with 
the Winchester Repeating Arms Company and will travel for that 
great house as a representative in the Middle West. He will 
shoot a Winchester repeating shotgun, and as Mr. Money was 
acknowledged to be in the first flight of skillful shots, either at 
targets or live, birds, he is a valuable aquisition to the strong 
talent already with the W. R. A. 
Mr. Bert B. Adams, secretary-treasurer of the Limited Gun 
Club, of Indianapolis, Ind., writes us as follows: "By the amount 
of correspondence received, we feel safe in saying that our shoot, 
March 19, 20 and 21 will be the second largest of the year, as of 
course, the Grand American will be the main event. We know 
of quite a number of Eastern shooters who will stop over here and 
take advantage of our special railroad rates from Indianapolis to 
Kansas City and return."

Bernard Waters. 
Schenectady Gun Club. 
Schenectady, N. Y., March 1. — A strong southeast wind blew 
toward the back of the shooters, keeping the targets low, but 
otherwise a bright sunny day, were the weather conditions. In the 
three last races Mr. De Land took the place of Mr. Hull, and in 
the third race Mr. Doremus was separated from Valentine, which 
kept up the excitement, and the final shots of the second and third 
races where there was but one target difference were intensely 
interesting. The feature of the day was the 58 straight of Mr. 
Doremus, whose faith in L, & R. "Infallible" was doubly clinched.

V. Wallburg, Capt. 
Chesapeake Gun Club. 
Newport News, Va., March 1. — The Chesapeake Gun Club 
took advantage of the splendid weather to-day and held the first 
shoot of the spring season at the Riverview grounds. A number 
of the enthusiasts of the game were out and some very good shoot- 
ing was done. 
Considering the fact that this was the first opportunity that 
some of the members had had for several months to shoot, their 
scores are exceptionally good. Hardly any of the men were in 
practice, but should the weather continue as it was yesterday, it 
will not be long before they are back in form. 
Mr. Fred Palmer was out and took part in several of the events, 
and considering that it was the first time that he had ever shot 
over traps, he made an excellent score. The following are the 
scores, all matches being at 25 targets:

Although nothing has been done as yet about the erection of a 
club house by the club, the project is not dead by a great deal. 
It seems that the matter has been allowed to drag, through the 
fault of no one in particular, but every one in general. 
One of the most interested and enthusiastic members of the club 
stated yesterday that the club house will certainly be built and the 
grounds fixed up, as was announced some time ago, Now that the 
weather seems to have opened up for the shooters, the interest is 
expected to revive, and little trouble is anticipated in getting the 
members to attend meetings. 
Mississippi Valley Notes* 
Secretary H. W. Kooler, of the Kansas State Sportsmen's 
Association, calls attention to the fact that the Rochester medal, 
recently shot for in that State, is an independent trophy, and not 
the original State championship badge. The latter, he says, is 
wholly under the control of the State Association, and is up for 
competition annually at the regular tournament of the Associa- 
tion. The Rochester trophy is also called a State championship 
medal, and signifies perhaps just as much, but is nevertheless 
wholly independent of the established State medal. 
At the tournament of the Salina, Kans., Gun Club on Feb. 26, 
the Rochester medal was under challenge between H. E. Cawley, 
holder, and Mac Stevenson, of Salina, challenger. Cawley shot a 
great race, and easily defended the medal, scoring 47 kills out of 50 
shots, to his opponent's 42. Twenty well-known Western shots 
attended the open tournament incidental to the above race. The 
orogramme carried 165 targets, an4 Ed O'Brien, of Florence, won 
first average, with 155 kills. Dave Elliott, of Kansas, got second 
place for the day with 153. 
At the contest for the Arkansas State championship at live 
birds, held at Little Rock, on Feb. 26, John J. Sumpter, of Hot 
Springs, carried off the honor. Twenty shooters competed, and 
Sumpter and C. E. De Long tied for the top score with 21. In 
the shoot-off, De Long missed his eighth bird, giving the race 
and the trophy to Sumpter. Immediately upon the announcement 
of the result, De Long challenged the winner for a contest for 
the trophy, and the match will be held at an early date at Hot 
Springs, 
The members of the Lewistown, 111., Gun Club are much 
elated over having secured a tournament under the management 
of the Interstate Association. This is one of the most flourishing 
shooting clubs in the State, and the boys are already making ar- 
rangements for their big meet in September. 
The ice went out of the Upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers 
last week, and the spring flight of wildfowl to the north has fairly 
begun. Some good shooting is already reported. 
The regular contests for the Dupont trophy and Rawlings medal 
were held at Dupont Park, St. Louis, Mo., March 2.

Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Ridge, L, L, March 1.— There were three distinguished vis- 
itors at the Crescent Club's shoot to-day, namely, Messrs. H. D. 
Kirkover, J. S. Fanning and J. T. Skelley. A part of the daily 
press referred to Mr. Kirkover as a professional, which is a mis- 
take, as he is an amateur, and a high-class one also. The scores:

shooters and keen competition at the shoot of the Brooklyn Gun
