S. S. C Banquet, 
Springfield, Mass.— The first annual event of the Springfield, 
Mass., Shooting Club was well attended by members and their 
sporting friends. 
The first annual banquet of the Springfield Shooting Club was . 
held at the Plighland Hotel on Friday evening, Nov. 20. A 
large number of members and their friends were present to enjoy 
the toothsome dishes prepared by Landlord Sievers, and listen 
to the sweet m^isic furnished by the mandolin orchestra. A very 
neat souvenir menu was gotten out by the secretary, consisting of 
a printed menu slip, folded in an 8-gauge shell, and so arranged 
that by pulling a ribbon the menu is opened for reading, and by 
pulling another ribbon slips back into the shell again. After the 
dinner was over and dishes cleared away the members were 
entertained for an hour by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. PI. Queen in feats 
of magic, second sight, etc. Every one had such a good time it 
has been decided to make it an annual affair.

Poughkeepsie Gun Club. 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Nov. 26.— The regular shoot falling on 
Thanksgiving Day, this week, had the effect of bringing out 
some of the boys, who, except on holidays, are unable to attend 
the practice shoots, and considering the little practice that they 
have, their shooting was good, that of Mr. Buckley being par- 
ticularly good. Besides the event for the Traver cup, a number 
of sweepstake events were participated in, and some very good 
scores were made. Smith and Hans shot in excellent form for the 
cup, tying twice for this trophy, darkness compelling them to 
discontinue shooting without deciding the matter. Traver and 
Adri ance did their usual good work, but were too heavily handi- 
capped to win the cup event, 25 targets. Scores:

All arrangements for our second annual tournament on New- 
Year's Day are about completed, and that this will be a success- 
ful shoot there is no doubt, we already having enough assur- 
ances of support from various clubs, manufacturers, and others 
to give us a nice attendance. Inasmuch as we were successful in 
lifting the cup in the team match at Ossining last week, the next 
match for this trophy will take place at this tournament. We 
are trying to get programmes in the hands of all shooters likely 
to be interested, and any one failing to receive one will confer a 
favor by addressing A. J. Du Bois, and programme will be 
forthcoming. Snaniweh. 
Dec. 3.— At the shoot of this club to-day the Traver cup and 
the club cup were both shot for, this being the regular monthly 
club shoot. Owing 1o the absence from town of a number of our 
most enthusiastic members, together with the disagreeable weather 
conditions, the attendance was not up to the standard in number 
of competitors. Conditions were extremely hard, and little shoot- 
ing was done. The two cup events were easily won by H. E. 
Winans, making, with his handicap, or a part of it rather, full 
scores in both events.

Trap at Point Breeze, 
Philadelphia, Dec. 5.— The performances with the gun were of 
an exceptionally high order in the handicap event. A match be- 
tween John Morris and A. J. Miller at 100 birds, for $200 a side,
