The daily press recounts that at Shenandoah, Pa., on March 30 
a pigeon-sweepstake was shot at 5 birds. There were eight 
entries. Earl Frost killed straight and won $25. John Galvin, 
Joe Farnell and P. Grant killed three and divided ?15. In itself 
the performance was not remarkable, but as an El Dorado for a 
good New York shooter, it has its fascinations. "If you win 
you lose, and if you lose you're ruined" is a colloquialism whicli 
does not apply to that section. 
Mr. F. J. Waddell, of Cincinnati, writes us that "the Cincin-

Grand American will join us at Cincinnati."

Qncinnati Gun Qub. 
Cincinnati, O., March 28.— There were a cloudy sky and a stiff 
wind blowing from the traps toward the firing points. Mr. Ed 
Rike, at the 16yd. mark scored 94 out of 100. His score fell off in 
the medal shoot, the extra 2yds being more difficult to s jlve. 
Gambell Was able to be about again, and managed matters not- 
withstanding his recent injury in the way of a strained leg. 
The indications are that Cincinnati will be well represented at 
the G. A. H. at Kansas City.

Gfand Island Towfnament, 
Grand Island, Neb. — The spring shooting circuit in the West 
was introduced under favorable conditions April 1, 2 and 3, at 
Grand Island, in a tournament given under the management of 
Seivers and Carter, representing the North Platte and Buffalo Bill 
gun clubs. The shoot was well managed and favored with a 
good local attendance— and we all know that it is the local support 
which contributes most to the sticcess of such events nowadays. 
Weather was quite favorable the first day, and some fine scores 
were made on the targets, thrown from expert traps. Crosby won 
first; Reed, second, and Linderman, Starkey, Cox and Harney 
third honors. The Dickey bird cup was also shot for on the first 
da)', and was won by Townsend. 
On the second day the weather had made a comple somersault, 
and blew fearfully, with such a cold breath that it was not com- 
fortable on the grounds except inside the tents provided by the 
management. The attendance was even better than the first day, 
but scores averaged much lower. Crosby won high honors for the 
shoot, while Heer, Reed, Bray, Townsend and Carter won the 
other points. The scores:

Friday was devoted to live birds, two ten-bird events being 
shot. In the principal one of these Heer and Bacon made the 
only money straights, and in the second Dan Bray got high 
money alone. Crosby and Riehl, who as the only trade repre- 
sentatives m attendance, shot for birds and targets only also 
killed all their birds. The pigeons were fresh from the surround- 
ing country, and a very fast lot. This was probablv the last live 
bird_ match of importance in Nebraska, as it is anticipated that the 
Legislature will put a ban upon the sport in the present session.

Geo, R, Schneider, Sec'y," 
Poughkeepsie Gun Club. 
Poughkeepsie, N Y., April 4,-The weekly shoot of this club 
was held to-day under very unfavorable weather conditions The 
wind was worse than awful; it was with difficulty that the men 
could stand on the platform and retain their balance long enough 
to level their guns and shoot. The principal event. No, 5 wis 
for the Marshall cup. This is a handicap event, and was won 
tO;day by Mr, M, S, Pickenpack, who, vvith an allowance of 8 
misses, as breaks, scored 22, As this was but the third time that 
Mr, Pickenpack ever shot over a trap, the bovs were all nleased 
to see him the winner, and heartily congratulated him upon his 
success, A committee was appointed this week to select and our- 
chase a dub cup, to be shot for monthly, under the handicap 
system. The cup will cost not less than ,$50. A gold medal wtn 
be put up for the member making highest average for the vear 
We are also about to install two expert traps on a special site 
for those wishing to practice for field shooting. This is a uood 
idea, and will tend to improve the boys in "the real thing"-ling 
shooting, while with some of them regular trap work has had th? 
reverse effect. "
