Limited Gua Qub. 
Indianapolis, Ind., April 25.— The Limited Gun Club, of In- 
dianapolis, recently finished one of the most successful shoots in 
the history of the club. It was called the Troisdorf trophy shoot, 
deriving its name from a handsome gold medal donated by the 
Troisdorf Powder Co. There were twelve weekly contests, and 
each contestant was allowed to. count his eight scores. If a mem- 
ber attended only eight, nine or ten shoots he could only select 
eight, and it is neediess to say that all the members tried to be 
present at all the shoots. It was a strictly amateur handicap 
shoot, and each contestant was handicapped according to his 
score in the previous shoot, and by the final result, it is readily 
seen that some of the members reached the 20yd. mark, ihe 
medal was finally won bv VV. T. Nash, he having broken (taking 
his eight best scores) 347 targets out of a possible 400, m.aking a 
percentage or 86%. ^ o„ 
The ne.xt high guns were: John W. Cooper, 344, or 8b per 
cent,; VV. C. Mcintosh, 343, 85% per cent.; Ed. Dickman, 342, 
85% per cent.; Gus. Moller, 837, 841,4 per cent. 
llie contest was enjoyed by all the boys, and the chances arc 
that another shoot will be started as soon as the weather will 
permit. ^- B. Adams, Secy. 
Ossining Gttn Club. 
O^siNiNG N Y., April 25.— The attendance at the shoot of the 
Ossining Gun Club to-day was a little better, owing to fine 
weather Some of the boys showed lack of practice, while the 
bad <;hooting of some of the others could only be attributed to 
a few of the other hundred reasons that shooters have in stock 
to explain bad shooting. . , , ^- ^- oa „„•■ 
E Ball was the bright and particular star, negotiating 24 out 
of liis first 25. No. 6 was from the 18yd. mark. Each event was

Schenectady Gun Club. 
Schenectady, N. Y., April 27.— I send you a clipping from the 
Schenectady Gazette, giving an account of the spring tournament 
of the Schenectady Gun Club, which is correct: 
The match that has been going on for the last seven weeks, 
from March 14 to April 25, inclusive, among the members of the 
Schenectady Gun Club, came to an end last Satvirday afternoon. 
The prize winners are headed by one of the youngest and most 
enthusiastic members, H. J. Borden, who smashed 99 out of a 
possible 100 targets, leading the veteran Livingston by one target. 
The conditions of the match were to test the skill of the shooters 
during the windy, stormy and disagreeable weather of early spring, 
when the worst conditions for the trapshooter invariably prevail. 
The match was intended to give the shooters the problem of get- 
ting 25 successive breaks in one event in any four of the seven 
successive Saturday afternoons. 
There were fourteen entries for the match, seven of whom fin- 
ished and seven withdrew. 
There were four prize cups awarded to the four high guns, who 
were as follows: H. J. Borden, first, with 99 breaks; H. M. Lev- 
engston, Jr., second, with 98 breaks; H. E. Greene, third, with 
97 breaks; S. K. Warnick, fourth, with 97 breaks. 
The full score of those who shot during the month is as follows:

Valentine Wallburg, Capt. 
Poughkeepsie Gun Club. 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., April 25.— The weekly shoot of this club, 
held to-day, was favored by fine weather and a good attendance, 
including two new members, Mr. Bissing and Mr. Klein, to-day 
being Mr. Klein's first experience at the game. The principal 
event to-day was No. 6, for the Marshall handicap trophy, which 
was won by Mr. M. F. Hoctor, who, with his handicap, made a 
straight score. To-day is probably the last Saturday on which 
this club will hold their weekly shoot, as there is a special meet- 
ing scheduled for Wednesday evening, the 29th, at which time it 
is expected that the day for regular shoots will be changed to 
Thursday. , , r u 
We have just put m a set of two ground traps for field prac- 
tice, which were used to-day for the first time, and over which the 
boys had considerable fun, as well as good practice.
