Aberdeen, Md., with 46. The prize was silver plate, 10 of them. 
Storr and Malone got 44 each, Chew, Fulford and Hawkins 43, 
McElvey 42, Lupus 40. Pennsy and George shot off for the tenth 
prize, and George won. 
Oct. 15, Second Day. 
The Maryland Handicap, 20 live birds, $10 entrance, was the 
event of main interest to-day. To the winner a silver cup. The 
supply of birds was exhausted when Fulford had shot his 19th, tiius 
leaving one bird short of finishing the event. Malone lost his 
20th, a red bird, near the hour of twilight. Storr and Malone 
were tied on 19 at that juncture. Storr was not shooting for 
money. Hawkins shot from the 32yd. mark. Fulford subse- 
quently missed his 20th, which thereby left Malone the winner.

Padwcah (Ky,) G«n Club. 
The fourth annual tournament of the Paducah Gun Club was 
held at La Belle Park, on Oct. 20, 21 and 22. The lateness of the 
season caused a smaller attendance than at past affairs of 'the 
kind, but it was nevertheless a most successful event, both pro- 
fessional and amateur classes being well represented, and some 
good scores made. 
The out-of-town shooters arrived Monday evening, and Tues- 
day evening, after the labors of the day were over, they were 
entertained at a down-South 'possum bake and fish fry, and they 
certainly did full justice to the feast. 
On Wednesday evening a theatre party was made up and spent 
a pleasant evening. 
High average was won by Fred Gilbert with 482 out of 500; 
J. M. Hughes, of Palmyra, Wis., second with 473. 
High amateur average was won by C. O. Le Compte, of Em- 
inence, Ky., with 461. Messrs. Gilbert and Le Compte were 
presented with handsome silver loving cups, as trophies, and 
Moses Starr, of Paducah, won the home trophy. 
The directors of the club passed the following resolutions in 
recognition of the services rendered by Mr. H. C. Bronough: 
"We, the directors of the Paducah Gun Club, hereby tender our 
thanks and expression of appreciation to Mr. H. C. Bronough 
for his services in so ably assisting the management in conducting 
the fourth annual tournament, held at Paducah, Ky., Oct. 20-23." 
Superintendent Hills, of the N. C. & St. L. R. R., puts as much 
enthusiasm into his trapshooting as he does into his duty of 
advancing the interests of his road, and he is an excellent shot. 
His eflforts and energy have had much to do with the success 
wliich has always attended the club. 
The barbecued dinner which was served free each day vifas a 
welcome change from a hotel menu. 
The following shot at 500 targets and made totals as follows: 
(albert 482, Hughes 473, Spencer 469, Le Compte 461, H. Storr 
450, Marshall 448, B. Starr 448, Phellis 445, Brady 444, Mercer 444, 
:Davis 442, Meadows 441, Rouse 439, Waters 436, Prouse 434, Arm- 
strong 420, Hills 402. 
Shooting at 250 targets, Moore broke 211, Moss 210. 
The third day was devoted to live-bird shooting, and a large 
crowd of spectators was in attendance to witness the close of a 
very successful tournament. 
The cup for btst average by a club member was held last year 
by H. Bronough. 
The Paducah boys offered to match their Starr team (Moses and 
Ben) against the world for a big purse, but had no takers. The 
scores follow:

Poaghfceepsic Gon Club. 
PotiGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., Oct. 22.— The Marshall cup, no more- 
it's the Traver cup now— the sixth win, necessary to establish 
permanent ownership, was scored in event No. 3 to-day by Capt. 
Traver. This cup was donated by Mr. H. W. Marshall, the pop- 
ular vice-president of the club, and has been in competition weekly 
on our handicap system since March 28. Capt. Traver has won 
this trophy from scratch on six scores as follows: 22, 24, 24, 22, 
18, 23. The scores, except the fifth, which was made under ex- 
tremely hard conditions, show that Mr. Traver can shoot— there 
are some who believe him to be the equal of any trapshooter in 
the Hudson valley— and in any event that he competes, where 
there is something to win, he generally gets a place with the 
winners. The cup is now on exhibition at Mr. Traver's place of 
business, the Court House _Cafe, where the Captain always receives 
his friends, especially shooters, with the "glad hand." 
We have had an inkling that another cup will soon be put in 
competition. At present I can give no particulars, but think 
that next week we'll know all about it. However, we have been 
told that it will be a "dandy," a regular "stimulator," as it were.

Ossining Gon Qob. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., Oct. 24.— The shooting to-day on the grounds 
of the Ossining Gun Club was rather difficult owing to a strong 
northwest wind blowing across the trap. In the prize competi- 
tion for the rifle and telescope Gayl Hubbell got a win with 20 
out of 25, from the 16yd. mark. 
The next club shoot for prizes will be held on Nov. 7. Notices 
are being sent out to shooters in New York and vicinity to 
ascertain the possibilities of a big handicap shoot being held here 
on Wednesday, Nov. 18. If a shooter doesn't get a letter it is 
because we haven't his address:

won by Mr. F. W. Perkins, who broke 70, and with an allowance 
of 40 made a full score of 100. He had shot but a few times at the
