Lone Jack, Sec'y. 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y, — The following scores were made by the Ossin- 
ing Gun Club members, at their regular weekly shoot, Saturday, 
June 14. The attendance was slim, but the handicap sweepstakes 
kept things livened up:

A series of handicap sweepstakes were shot on the grounds of 
the Ossining Gun Club at the regular weekly shoot, Saturday 
June 21. During the first part of the afternoon there was a steady 
downpour of rain. This necessitated rigging a rope on the trap 
lever, so that the shooting and pulling could be done from the 
22yd. line under the protection of the porch roof. From this dis- 
tance Hans negotiated 5 and 6 out of 10; Blandford got 9 Wash- 
burn broke 21 out of 25, and Coleman got 5 and 9 out of 10. It 
is gratifying and a source of great pleasure for one shooting crank 
to brave a downpour of rain, and the probable opinions of any 
neighbors or friends who happen to see him go, to find on arriving 
at the club house that there are others who have it just as bad 
as he has:

After the series of sweeps, it was proposed that a match be 
shot for a side bet, the shooters standing with their guns down 
and with their backs to the trap at the word "Pull." Coleman 
captured the money with 9, while Washburn and Blandford tied 
with 8 out of 10. C. G. B. 
Birch Brook Gun Club. 
Lynn, Mass. — Eleven shooters faced the magautrap Saturday af- 
ternoon, June 21, in a rainstorm, but there was no lack of en- 
thusiasm, and they all shot through the merchandise and medal 
events, and did a good deal of practice shooting. As will be seen 
by the scores, Hilliard was high man, and made a percentage of 
94 in his 50 targets; Hebbard, Straw and Lambert also made a 
good showing. Appended are the scores. No. 1 was the merchan- 
dise event; No. 2 was the medal event; the remainder were practice 
events, Nos. 6 and 7 being at 5 pairs:

Schenectady Gun Club. 
Schenectady, N. Y., June 21. — The team race between the 
Schenectady Gun Club and the Boston Athletic Association took 
place on the grounds of the former club on Saturday afternoon,

tions of the match are 100 targets per man, 50 to be shot at 
Schenectady and 50 at Boston, from a magautrap, eight men on a 
side, for a trophy valued at $50. 
The weather conditions were a strong southeast wind, with 
light rain, and the sky darkened with lieavy, drifting clouds, which 
caused a varying light in the first half, and yet both teams fell off 
in the second half with considerable improvement in the weather. 
Schenectady's team averaged 89% per cent., to Boston's 86 per 
cent, in the first half. The totals at the finish being .877 per cent, 
for Schenectady and .800 per cent, for Boston. The Boston team 
was seriously handicapped by the ill health of one of their best 
men, Mr. Farmer, whose recent illness left him in anything but 
a good condition for a match. 
The members of the Schenectady Gun Club were much im- 
pressed by the personnel of the Boston team, whose gentlemanly 
bearing and graceful acceptance of the result bore the impress of 
true sportsmanship. Schenectady was glad to welcome Mr. O. R. 
Dickey as an old friend, and well known among all trapshooters 
of New York State as a member of the B. A. A. The local club 
was also honored by the presence of the Messrs. Moore and G. "L. 
Hunter, of the B. A, A., also R. B. Hunter, of the Hunter Arms 
Company. 
On July 12 the finals in this match will be shot on the grounds 
of the Boston Athletic Association, at Riverside. The following

Mr, H. D. Kirkover, Jr , an Amateur. 
New York, June 17. — Editor Forest and Stream: In the interest 
of true sport, and in justification of Mr. Harry D. Kirkover, Jr., 
will you kindly publish the following: 
To Whom It May Concern : 
Our attention has been called to the fact that Mr. Harry D. 
Kirkover, Jr., of Fredonia, N. Y., was about to be barred from 
entering the State, events at the recent State shoot held at Roches- 
ter, N.. Y., it being claimed that he was a professional and was 
subsidized by the Laflin & Rand Powder Company to shoot In- 
fallible smokeless. This is to state Mr. Kirkover has never been 
in any way connected with this company, nor has he ever received 
any compensation in the way of money or ammunition for services 
rendered. Furthermore, we can prove to any one that Mr. Kirk- 
over is as strictly and purely an amateur as any man who faces rhc 
traps to-day, and we feel in duty bound to render this statement. 
(Signed) Laflin & Rams Powdbk Co,
