had only two.

shoot-off at 25 targets, Van Allen won with a score of 24 to 21.

Rochester Rod and Gun Club. 
Rochester, June 6. — Herewith scores of Tiochester Rod and 
Gun Club shoot: 
The Bonbright cup series is finished. This series started on 
April 1, with the other handicap shoot for club prizes (Winchester 
reiieating .shotgun, etc.), and ended June 3. 
I won the cup with a total score of 223 out of a possible 2.50, 
lifiufiliny as serateli man, at fifteen single.'; and five pairs, luich 
juan shot at five pairs and had his extra allowance or handicap 
on the singles. 
'fh? dub pri?e handicap scrips will continue until September 1, 
and the contestant winning most points to take first prize, a 
W'inchester repeating shotgun. Shoots are held each Wednes- 
day and the winner scores one pCTint; handicaps range from 
scratch, which is twenty-five targets up to thirty-five, if any one 
breaks more than twenty-five out of his allowance it counts as a 
tie with any one breaking just twenty-five, in other words, a 
shooter having thirty-five, to shoot at, and breaking twenty-seven 
or twenty-eight, can only tie with a scartch man who has only 
twenty-five to shoot at, should he break them all. 
On May 21 we had an interesting team race with Messrs. 
Morris, Dalley, Marvin, of Baldwinsville, and Meagher, of Syra- 
cuse, a four man team. One-hundred targets per man. Syracuse: 
Marvin 86, Morris 92, Dalley, 85, Meagher 90, Team total 353; 
Rochester: Keishner 93, Bonbright 89, Stewart 97, Newton 88, 
Team total 367. 
A silver cup was donated by Mr. G. D. Bonbright. The handi- 
caps ranged from fifteen singles to five pairs up to twenty-five 
singles and five pairs. Total scores on series to win cup. Scores

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., June 10. — The regi!ilar Wednesday matinee of 
the Boston Gun Club was held at Wellington to-day, a chilly 
and misty day doing its best to dampen the enthuiasm of every 
one present. It could not however, and as the' events passed off 
each one seemed to add in interest over the previous one. 
Many outside visitors were present, Mr. Tisdale, of St. Louis, 
taking a hand in the game, and while not up to usual standard, 
made very creditable scores. The club also had for guests a few 
ladies not yet quite enthusiastic enoiigh to shoot, but later, when 
the proper time comes, will no doubt take a hand in the sport, 
and secure all the pleasures that can be derived from this pas- 
time. 
Gl eason's 24, in the prize match, shows that the Doctoi* is get- 
ting used to his IS-yard mark, and present indications point 
to a longer distance mark in the near future, ^^'hat he will do 
when the new gun comes along no one can guess. Spencer and 
Barry also made very creditable scores, the former shooting 
from the IS-yard mark, and the latter from 16 yards.

Birch Brook Gan Club. 
Lynn, Mass., June 8.— The Birch Brook Gun Club held its 
regular shoot Saturday, June 6, but owing to delays in the run- 
ning of cars, some of the shooters did not arrive till late, so that 
there was not so much shooting done as common. Hilliard was 
high man, making two straight 10s in practice and 27 out of 30 
in the merchandise event. Riley was close to the leaders.
