dianapolis Gun Club. All contests for this cup must be settled on

Sept. 24, Third Day. 
The third day was devoted to competition at sparrows. To the 
shooter making the highest general average of the programme the 
Indianapolis Gun Club presented a beautiful trophy emblematic 
of the sparrow championship of the world. The list of entries 
was large, and in consequence, two of the programme events 
were cut out. The great shot, Mr. W. R. Crosby, of O'Fallon, 
111., won the sparrow championship. Snyder, Stilwell and Snipe 
were tied with Crosby after the regular programme had been fin- 
ished, each with a score of 67 out of 70. McStilwell, of Crawfords- 
ville, in the last round seemed to be a sure winner, but he missed 
his final bird, and thus dropped back to 67. 
In the shoot-off Crosby's opponents each killed 14. It was the 
most stubbornly fought contest at sparrows that has been wit- 
nessed in years. 
Crosby was greeted with a cheer from the shooters present 
when the race was decided. 
The Indianapolis Gun Club officers and members were roundly 
congratulated by all of the shooters present. All agreed the 
ground is an ideal one for the Grand American, and every visit- 
ing shooter who faced the traps is an ardent supporter of the 
movement to bring this event here. The scores follow:

the 15- 
Handi- 
Ossining Gun Club. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., Sept. 26.— "They came" (from Poughkeepsie). 
"They saw" (the cup). "They conquered" (their desire to take it 
home anyway). It was an eight-man team that tried to lift the 
cup; the chances are that if Messrs. G. G. and F. P. Stephenson 
had not been unavoidably detained, thereby necessitating shooting 
an eight-man team, the result might have been different. Ike 
Washburn, after shooting poorly in practice, loomed up in the 
match with 22. Clark did his usual good bit, while Tallman, 
Blandford, Bedell and Smith ^ell way down. 
O. W. Von der Bosch shot on the Ossining team for the first 
time, and made the excellent score of 22. Hans, shooting on the 
Poughkeepsie team, made iiigh score, 23. 
Event No. 4, for a gold-mounted pipe, was won by W. H. 
Coleman, with 9 out of 10. Geo. Sutton and A. Betti, of Mount 
Kisco, were with us. They are always cordially welcome. Sutton 
was suffering from neuralgia, so did not shoot on the team. 
The next Saturday for prize shooting rifle and telescope event 
will be 10th prox.
