Annapolis — Analostan Team Contests.' 
Washington, D. C, Nov, 7. — The Annapolis, Md., Gun Club 
and the Analostan Gun Club, of Washington, D. C, have con- 
cluded their match shoots for this year. The agreement between 
the clubs was for three matches, best two out of three, ten men 
to each team, and 50 targets per man in each contest, the losing 
team to present the winner with a handsome silver loving cup. 
The first and third contests were held on the grounds of the 
Annapolis club, and if there are better grounds in this country 
the writer has not seen them. They are located across a branch of 
the Severn River, a short distance from Annapolis, on high, 
sandy ground, which is part of a shady, well appointed picnic 
ground. The Sergeant system of traps is used, and each shooter 
occupies a separate stand, made of brick, six or eight inches high 
and about four feat square. This is an excellent idea, as it pre- 
vents crowding when a "change" is called. The scorer's stand is 
high and fashioned much like a judge's stand on a race-course, 
and is provided with a blackboard in sight of all. The trap-puller 
also has a raised stand, and it is impossible to crowd him. The 
cashier's stand is enclosed, and near it is the pump, which is also 
covered, and under the same roof wash basins and towels are 
provided. Great big, comfortable benches are scattered all about 
under the trees, and near the shooter's stand is a large dancing 
pavilion, in which the shooters can take refuge in case of stormy 
weather. 
The Annapolis boys are past masters in the art of entertaining, 
and our club is under many obligations to them for the many 
courtesies shown. On our last visit over there the boys treated 
us to steamed oysters, fresh oysters, fat sandwiches, drinkables 
ad lib., including "Sparetta," a wonderful tonic for the nerves, a 
sure cure for the blues, and the best ever for a shad-bellied dys- 
peptic. It is compounded by one of the shooters, the good-looking 
and affable Dr. Smith, of the Annapolis club, and what it would 
do for a man if the directions were followed is impossible to 
prognosticate. 
The targets in all of the matches were thrown very swift, none 
of them less than 55yds. and most of them appeared to go 65yds. 
The angles were unknown, and so well did the trappers do their 
work that it was impossible for the shooter to guess the flight. 
Our club won the first match by 7 birds. The second contest 
resulted in a tie, each club scoring 365 birds. It will be noted 
that the scores in this match were very low. The poor work may 
be attributed to the manner in which the birds were thrown — they 
were very low and extremely swift; and also to the weather, which 
was exceedingly warm. The sweat simply poured, and it was im- 
possible to shoot in form. The boys who used glasses were 
badly handicapped. 
The clubs flipped a coin to settle where the tie should be shot 
off, and Annapolis won. Our club journeyed over there, and in 
the last match were beaten 8 birds. Each club has therefore 
won one match, and the deciding shoot will not be held until 
next spring. When the tie had been shot off it was discovered 
that after shooting at 3,000 targets there was only one target dif- 
ference between the teams. This is considered as remarkable. 
The members of both teams are strictly amateurs, and attend 
few tournaments; but we think the records made by the members 
are quite creditable, and especially so in the last match, the 
twenty men averaging over 80 per cent. 
The matches have been so pleasant and agreeable that it is 
likely that they will be continued next year and be a feature of the 
shooting in this vicinity. 
Following are the scores of the three matches:

IN NEW JERSEY. 
Poughkeepsie Gun Clob. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., Oct. 29. — The Traver cup — a beautiful 
trophy, donated by Mr. A. Traver, the. popular captain of this 
club — was shot for, the first time, to-day, under a new and im- 
proved system of handicapping. The race resulted in a tie between 
Smith and Claymark. The tie, owing to darkness, was not shot 
off, it being decided to hold the shoot-off over until next week. 
The system of handicapping that is now being used is going to 
make this cup a "lively race," and it will be a long time before any 
one man will win it six times, which he must do to establish own- 
ership. That the handicapping is well done a glance at the scores 
in event No. 6 will prove. 
The committee having charge of arrangements for our New 
Year's Day shoot will soon be able to give full particulars of what 
we expect will be the greatest shoot ever held along the Hudson. 
\\'icker shot along.

Nov. 5. — Notwithstanding that there were two cups to be shot 
for to-day, the attendance was very slim, but six men at the score. 
The club cup, in event No. 4, was shot for under the old 
handicap system, and was won by H. W. Marshall. Event No. 5, 
for the Traver cup, was won by H. E. Winans, under the new 
handicap system. The shooting to-day was not up to the standard 
generally set by those present, high wind and bad light being 
responsible for the low scores. 
Quite a number of the boys will attend the shoot at Ossining 
on the 18th inst., at which time our team will again try to lift 
the cup that Ossining won from us, and barring our usual run of 
hard luck, we expect to give the Ossining men "the race of their 
life."

Boone Gon Clob. 
Boone, la., Nov. 4.— Eighteen shooters took part in the Boone 
Gun Club's one-day tournament. The weather was warm and 
pleasant, but the scores ran low, owing to badly thrown targets. 
The club added no money, but gave $5 for high amateur 
average, and $3 for low average. Hoon, of Jewell, won high 
average, and Crony, of Boone, won low average. The club has 
fine grounds in the North Side Driving Park, and has just com- 
pleted a nice little club house. F. C. Whitney had charge of the 
office. Budd was the only expert present, and shot through the 
programme for targets only, tying Hoon for high average.

Decatur Tournament. 
Decatur, 111., Nov. 3. — The shoot held here to-day under the 
management of Rupert and Standish was a great success. There 
was such a goodly number of shooters that the targets gave out 
and the shoot was stopped with the 150th round. It seems strange 
that a town of the size of Decatur should be shy on targets. 
Ed. Miller made high score, and it was a good one, 144. Rupert 
came second with 142. John Boa was Mr. Bronough. J. L. Head 
and Leslie Standish were the trade representatives. The scores:
