Cincinnati Gtin Club. 
The attendance on Nov. 21 was not quite as large as usual, only 
sixteen entering in the cash prize event. The weather was pleas- 
ant, but a heavy bank of clouds and smoke formed a bad back- 
ground, and the scores were not what they have been. R. Trimble 
was high gun, with 45; Medico second, with 43, and Gambell third, 
with 42. Practice shooting was kept up until about 4:30, when it 
became so dark that the targets could not be seen, and the mem- 
bers then gathered around the club house stove and swapped 
yarns. 
The club will hold a Thanksgiving Day shoot, to begin at 
1:30 P. M. Ten 10-target events, entrance $1.25 in„ each, money 
divided Rose system, 5, 3 and 2. The fourth prize in each event 
will be a turkey, ties shot off at 10 targets. One cent for each 
target shot at will be set aside for two high guns, 60 and 40, and 
three low guns, divided equally. The scores:

Intercollegiate Contest. 
Wellington, Mass., Nov. 21.— The intercollegiate contest held 
to-day resulted in a victory for the Harvard team. The opposing 
teams were from Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania. 
Harvard and Princeton tied, each scoring 195. In the shoot-off 
Harvard won by four points. Harvard was unfortunate at the 
fijlish on account of Forbes leaving before the contest was known 
' to bfe'''a tie. J.' ' Hirickley' shot in his place-.

Ashland Gun Club. 
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 20.— I append the scores of the last shoot 
of our ne-ivly organized gun club, the Ashland, composed mostly 
of business me-n, who are new at the game. It was held Nov. 10. 
Fourteen members participated in one of the most delightful 
shoots of the season. The weather was simply perfect— a bright 
warm day, with no wind. 
There is no fixed programme at these club shoots. A member 
may shoot as few or as many targets as he wishes, new squads 
being made up for each round. 
There were six events at 15 targets each and one at 10 targets, 
making a total of lOO targets. Everybody seemed to have their 
shooting clothes on, and the way some of the beginners smashed 
targets shows that all they need is more practice. 
It may be that the boys had in mind the opening of the game 
season," Nov. 15, and were making their final preparation before 
going for Bob White. If they can keep up the gait in the field 
that they struck at the traps, then many a big bag will be brought 
in.

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 22.— At the last shoot of the Hudson 
Gun Club these scores were made. 
This club has fully recovered from the effects of the rahi- 
storm last month, and from now on will hold regular shoots. The 
club suffered quite severely from this storm, the grounds looking 
like a lake for a week or two after the rain.

Franklin Gun Club. 
Franklin Furnace, N. J., Nov. 21. — Event one, at targets, had 
contestants and scores as follows: Shooting at 30, John W^illiams 
broke 22, Andrew Wright broke 18. Shooting at 25, Will Pape 
broke 12, Frank Kishpaugh broke 13, Alf Wright broke 6 out 
of 20. 
Pougfikeepsie Gun Club. 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Nov. 19. — Six men, two of whom — 
Cheney and Edwards — are beginners at the sport, took part in the 
regular weekly shoot of this club to-day. The light attendance 
was due in part to the fact that a number of the boys attended 
the shoot at Ossining yesterday, and could not consistently leave 
business to attend to-day's shoot. Their absence is excusable, 
too. After their performance yesterday at Ossining one would 
hardly expect to see them all report to-day, and should they 
choose to celebrate, it would only be natural, for they conquered; 
their victory, though decisive, was not unexpected; but the odds 
were a little better than we expected to seo. Forty points! A 
very comfortable margin, indeed. Ossining must have felt like a 
town swept by a cyclone, and this is only a sample; our best 
"goods" have not been shown yet. 
The ties made on the Traver cup last week were not shot off to- 
»day, owing to absence of Plans. In the race for the Traver cup 
Ho-day, Marshall and Claymark tied on 25. Claymark afterward

Aquidneck Gun Club. 
Newport, R. L, Nov. 21.— The weekly shoot of the club, being 
the tenth contest for the L. C. Smith badge, donated by the 
Hunter Arms Co., was held on Wednesday, with the small at- 
tendance of six. The weather conditions were not especially good. 
The day was dark, and keen eyesight was a goodly advantage. 
■ However, some good totals were recorded. Mason bettered his 
score of last week by one target. Coggeshall was also in evidence 
with three less,, An improved attendance is hoped for at the 
Thanksgiving Day shoot, when an attractive programme will be 
run off. The scores:
