Pougfhkeepsie (j«n Ciish* 
PouGHKttepsit, N. Y., Jan. 3;— The in tfer- county shoot and 
tournament of the Pokeepsils Gtin Cltib, lield oii N^w Year's Ddy, 
was well attended, and financially, a bi^ stiticiess to thfe clttb. 
Isaac Tallman carried oft first average money with a perceritage 
of 95. Max Condit came in for second, with Fred Tompkins 
third, making 90 and SS^/s per cent, respectively, $10 being divided 
between them, $5 to first, $3 to second and $2 to third. 
In the ]{iO-bird event, open to the world, there were not as 
many entries as were expected, but eight men facing the traji in 
this event. DuBois, Traver and Winans, shooting for birds only, 
left $iO in the pot to be divided in two moneys, 30 and 10. First 
niuiity went to .inn Giovtr, who succeeded in breaking 98, Tall- 
mall capturing second with 8S. 
Mr. Neaf Apgar, and Thos. W. Morfey wei'e the only trade 
fepresentatives present. Mr. Motfey w&s late iii reaehing the 
grounds, therefore did not Compete in the ICO-bird event. 
In the ilitercounty Cup match, Ossiilillg vs. Pokeepsie, the 
seveii mCil '"ftofll down the fivet" won a glorious vidtofy, makiiig 
a remarkable score, and defeatihg the home team by 21 points. It 
will be noticed, by looking the scores over, that uiifortunatiriy for 
Poughkeepsie, several of out meiT fell far below their previous 
average. Had our men all been able to hold up in this event, 
Ossining would not have given us the dtubbirtg that they did. 
Ossining made a big score; that we cannot deny. Cut was it not 
natural fot thern to slioot better when they saw the hard luck 
that we were funriirig iii? As .it is; it is tip to us to "ramble" 
to Ossining again. We have soriie material that* with the right 
kind of coaching, can be developed itlto wintlirig fofm. When 
W'e "'ramble" to Ossining again, we are going after tttat ctlp so 
vigorously that we think we can foresee the result. 
At this shoot 3,2] 5 targets were trapped, out of which 2,793 were 
broken. 
June, a substitute for a long .name, did some very clever work, 
and had he shot through the whole programme, would have given 
them "a run for their money."

Flofxsts Gun CI«b. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 2. — ^The Florists' Gun Club held a very 
successful open target tourney on their grounds, at Wissinoming, 
yesterday. The programme was arranged for an all-day shoot, to 
commence about 10:30 A. M., and while there were a few of the 
faithful on hand at the appointed hour, the greater number of 
contestants did not arrive on the grounds until 1:30 P. M., making 
a crush at the last hours of daylight, so that it was impossible to 
;finish the programme. 
The sweepstake programme was shot through, and the 100-target 
merchandise event was practically finished, although the last two 
squads would have to finish in such poor light that the manage- 
ment decided to allow them 20 targets in their last string. The 
five-man team match had to be cut out altogether. 
This, made the merchandise event the principal feature of the 
tourney, and the system of handicapping made it a very interesting 
contest. The handicaps were added to the score, and were based 
Upon the scores made in the second and third strings, allowing 
?5 per cent, of the lost targets for the handicap. The con- 
ditions remaining secret until the last gun was fired, the result 
proved very satisfactory, as the scores show. The tourney was 
inder the direction of J. K. Starr, assisted by George -Anderson, 
V. V. Dorp and Dr. Goebel.

Dickey Gtin Qub, 
Omaha, Neb.— The New Year's Day shoot of the Dickey Gun 
Club was held on the grounds of the Omaha Gun Club. The day 
was very pleasant. The events were well supported. The birds 
were of the gamest sort, there being not a single "sitter" out of 
nearly 400 that were trapped. 
George Toozer, of Omaha, who is comparatively a new man at 
the traps, stai'ted the afternoon by killing 5 birds straight in 
practice. Theft in his match race with Will Sherwood, 25 live 
birds, he killed every one. Next he made another perfect score 
on 10 birds, making 40 live birds straight; but the number was 
not the prettiest part of his work. His every shot was well timed, 
and he centered his birds in a way which many said had not been 
equalled here. The scores in the match race between Toozer and 
Sherwood gave the former the victory by 25 to 21, as follows: 
G Toozer, 30 1222212212221212221 2m22— 25 
W Sherwood, 30 2011222*2212201211*12121—21 
Eighteen entries Responded to the call for the 10 live-bird event. 
Four men— Toozer, Morrill, Wagner, and Fogg— killed straight. 
Rogers, Gallagher and Johannes made 9 each. These seven 
divided the money. The scores were:

Felix — Ridge. 
Philadelphia.— On Jan. 1 the Point Breeze Gun Club held an 
active shoot, the main event of which was a match at 50 live birds, 
3(Jyds. rise, for a purse of $50 a side, between Howard Ridge and 
Anthony Felix, two local wing shots. Felix won the match by 
4i to Ridge's 45. Ridge scored but 21 out of his first 25, but shot 
a strong race, killing 24 out of his last 25. It is likely that the 
men will meet in a return match on the Keystone grounds at 100 
birds lor $100 a side. 
In the open sweepstake event, unfinished from Christmas Day, 
there were thirteen entries left for the bridle and blanket, and 
the comptition proved close and interesting. Several of the men 
entered had others shoot for them, one man shooting three differ- 
ent scores. In the first round of 10 birds, Felix, Baun, Mink, 
Miller, C. \oung, and Fisher killed 9, and in the shoot-ofi of ties 
at miss-and-out, Harry Fisher, of the Clearview Gun Club, won 
the blanket by a score of 10 straight. 
Oliver and Morris tied with 8 kills for the bridle, the tie being 
decided by tossing a coin. Morris won. Several practice events 
were shot off after the main events. The scores:

A match, to be shot at Smith Brothers' grounds, Newark, N. T 
was arranged between Mr. S. M. Van Allen, of Jamaica, L 1 ' 
famous as one of the most expert shots of New York, and Mr. 
K. Smith, of Manchester, England. Mr. Smith is one-armed, and 
.snoots tairly well. Pie was anxious to secure a few pigeon matche"; 
m this land of new civilization. A gentleman of a philanthropic 
turn of mind put him in communication with Mr. Van Allen 
Ihe match was arranged to be for $100 a side, at 25 or 50 birds" 
2Syds. rise, and Mr. \ an Allen allowed his opponent one extra 
bird in 25, or two in 50, to shoot at. Mr. Smith, it was said had 
had quite a successful experience with the bluerock pigeon in 
his own country; therefore, the American bird was presumed to 
be an easy mark. Mr. Smith had a preliminary match with Mr T 
H. Outwater, for the price of the birds, with the result that'lu' 
desired to call oflf his match with Mr. Van Allen The litter 
very obligingly acceded, but they shot the match ' without ' any 
purse on Saturday last, Mr. Van Allen allowing his opponent two
