The latest advices concerning the condition of Mr. Harold 
Money were very favorable, he having safely passed the crisis of 
his pneumonia attack on the 12th inst. He was removed to 
St. Joseph's Hospital, Kansas City, Mo., on March 7, from the 
Hotel Baltimore, and also was well looked after specially by his 
many Kansas City friends. His father and mother, Captain and 
Mrs. A. W. Money, arrived in Kansas City early last week to 
care for him, and Mr. Irby Bennett made a like trip from 
Memphis. The warm friendship felt for him was strongly in 
evidence at 318 Broadway by the anxious inquiries and heartfelt 
good wishes for his recovery, expressed by the numerous friends 
who have called there every day since his illness became known 
to them. May good health return to him speedily. 
Mr. W. W. Marshall and Dr. H. O'Brien tied on a full score of 
50 for the Crescent Athletic Club March cup, in the second 
contest for it, at Bay Ridge, L. I., last Saturday. Saturday 9f 
this week will be a day of special interest in Crescent Athletic 
Club shooting circles, for on it the long expected match between 
a home team and a team of the Boston Athletic Association Gun 
Club is fixed to take place. A committee of the Crescents will 
meet the visiting team at the Manhattan end of the Bridge, 
journey thence by parlor car to the country house, lunch, shoot, 
then hie to the city house for dinner. 
The secretary, Mr. S. G. Miller, writes us as follows: "The 
Haverhill, Mass., Gun Club will open the shooting season of 
1903 with their seventh annual Patriots' Day tournament, Monday, 
April 20. To all our old friends we would say, come and see us, 
and we will do our best to please you; and to all lovers of the 
scatter gun, come and see what we can do to make it pleasant 
for you. We will have a targta* in the air all the time, and a 
good part of the time several more. In the prize event shooters 
will be handicapped on results of the first 100 targets shot at 
Distance 16 to 22yds."

First, $5; second, $3; third, $2. Targets included at 1% cents. 
Sweepstakes optional. Lunch served free. Loaded shells may 
be obtained on the grounds. 
It 
The secretary-manager, Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, writes us that 
"changes have taken place at Interstate Park which render it im- 
possible for the Interstate Association to hold the fifth Grand 
American Handicap at targets there. As other grounds in the 
East are not available, the stockholders of the Association, at a 
special meeting held on the 13th inst, decided to cancel this 
tournament, which was scheduled for May 12 to 15." 
K 
Mr. C. C. Nauman, the manager, under date of March 7, writes 
us as follows: "Kindly announce in your sporting columns that

three days' bluerock handicap tournament at their grounds, at 
Ingleside, San Francisco, Cal., on May 24, 25 and 26; $1,500 in cash

Mr. Charles Billings, at one time president of the Emerald 
Gun Club, of New York, had completed arrangements to leave 
New York last week for his winter home in Florida, where he 
will remain till permanently pleasant spring weather has come 
in the North. He has taken up yachting as a sport, than which 
nothing is both more wholesome and enjoyable. 
In a match at Point Breeze, Pa., on Wednesday of last week, 
between Messrs. H. Mclntire, of Oxford, Pa., and W. Cloverdale, 
of Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, at 25 birds, Mclntire won by a 
score of 22 to 19. A second event, $50 a side, 50 birds, was shot 
between Messrs. Cowan and F. Muller. Cowan won with a score 
of 40 to 42. 
Mr Arthur Gambell, the energetic superintendent of the Cin- 
cinnati, O., Gun Club, after readjusting his bones, has struck a 
true crackerjack gait at the traps. March 11, in a contest at 100 
targets with D. Gross, he scored 95 to 93. On March 12, in a 
three-cornered 100 target match, he defeated Messrs. Gross and 
Ahlers. 
The Baltimore Shooting Association's team defeated the Key- 
stone League's team at Baltimore, Md., on Monday of this week 
by a score of 193 to 176. There were nine men on a side, and 
each man shot at 25 live birds. This decides the series of con- 
tests between Baltimore and Philadelphia in favor of the former. 
Col. A. G. Courtney, of Syracuse, N. Y., is on the list of 
invalids these days, being confined within doors during a slow 
convalescence. We heartily wish him a speedy recovery. With 
the pleasant spring weather which is now due, or should be due 
in the near future, good health should come then at the latest 
The series of matches between teams of the Mineola Gun Club 
and the Freeport Gun Club was definitely decided on March 14,

contest took place on the grounds of the Mineola club.

March 14 on the club grounds, Hartford, Conn. Messrs. Her- 
man and Hubbell tied on 22, and in a toss for it, Herman won. 
The club holds its shoots every other week, with a tournament 
on holidays. ^ 
At Long Branch, N. J., March 13, a return inatch between teams 
of the Highland and Long Branch Gun Clubs was shot; ten men
