championship contest in any sense, and the winner of the trophy 
under handicap conditions cannot be challenged as a champion.

sv.-eepstake events, with added money. To high guns, first, $3;

I'OOGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Sept. 10.— The Marshall cup 
event of importance at the weekly shoot of this 
II. W. Marshall was high man, making, with his 
straight score. Traver was a good second, while 
Briggs tied for third place with 22 each. 
The attendance was rather light, as compared with 
previous shoots. The boys had considerable sport 
thrown from a hand trap, which as a novelty is all 
is doubtful if such practice is good for regular work.

W. P. T. S. L. at McKeesport. 
McKeesport, Pa., Sept. 14.— The entry list in the twelfth tour- 
nament of the Western Pennsylvania Trapshooters' League, held 
on the grounds of the Enterprise Gun Club, of this city, was not 
what was expected; but when our own members do not turn out 
on our own grounds, we do not blame the other boys. Although 
the attendance was small, we pulled the shoot off as best we 
could. 
We shot four events of the regular programme and four special 
events the first day, and shot the regular programme out the 
second day. 
The North Side winning team won from us. We lost badly in 
the team shoot by the non-appearance of one of our members, 
who, after promising faithfully that he would be present, failed to 
show up. 
Plarry Watson was high gun both days. He made a run of 
103 straight the first day. 
Mr. E. D. Fulford was with us both days with a fine display of 
guns and shells. The scores follow:

Sept. 10 Second Day. 
The high guns of the day were as follows: Harry D. Watson, 
of Sewickley, 163; E. D. Fulford, 159; Kelsey, 158; Fleming, 157; 
Calhoun, 156. Calhoun proved himself to be almost as good as the 
men who shoot almost daily. Fulford did not shoot in the best 
form, and says it is all in a person's becoming acquainted with 
certain ranges.

Owing to the fact that one of the Hanagan team was compelled 
to leave the grounds before the shoot, it was decided that Stan- 
nard should cut the highest score from his total, which proved 
to be Willard's, thereby balancing accounts, so to speak. The 
score then stood 108 to 95 in favor of Stannard's team. 
Garfield Gun Club, 
Chicago, Sept. 12.— The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the seventh and last trophy 
shoot of the third series. Smedes won. Class A trophy on 24, 
Hathaway Class B on 20, and Bullard Class C on 17. 
The day was an extremely unpleasant ond unfavorable one for 
trapshooting, being hot and very windy, the wind being squarely 
in the shooters' faces, and the few good scores made were really 
remarkable under the conditions. Despite the unfavorable con- 
ditions of wind and weather, twenty-eight shooters lined up for 
the sport, and all seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly. Trophy
