Mr. J. R. Merrill, secretary of the North River Gun Club, of 
Edgewater, N. J., returned in the fore part of last week from a 
shooting trip in Virginia. He reported fair success. From twelve 
to fifteen bevies a day was about the average find. 
Berkard Waters. 
Poughfccepsie Gan Club. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., Dec. 17.— With the wind blowing from 
the 10 o'clock quarter at such a rate as to make standing on a 
shooting platform difficult, and with the temperature near the zero 
point, six men faced the score at the weekly shoot of this club 
to-day, and succeeded in breaking a few bluerocks, also in blow- 
ing many holes in the air. Hans won the trophy event, also the 
shoot-off of two ties at same time, practically winning the cup 
three times in the one event. 
The second annual tournament of this club, scheduled for New 
Year's Day, will probably be the biggest one-day shoot ever held 
along the Hudson, judging from the way applications for pro- 
grammes and assurances of support have been coming in. 
Eleven events of 15 and 20 targets each, a combination 100-target 
race, a 100-target race for individual championship of Dutchess 
county, and a ten-man team match for a valuable cup, Ossining 
vs. Poughkeepsie, all going on in regular order, will make this 
a shoot well worth attending. 
Besides the attractive programme, there is money for the ama- 
teur and money for the professional, that puts up the best article 
of shooting. 
Paste the date in your hat, attend this shoot, and you'll begin 
the New Year right.

Ossining Gun Club, 
Ossining, N. Y. — The scores made to-day show up rather 
poorly, as the birds were thrown low and swift. This, added to 
the inconvenience of having a grain threshing machine at work 
within gun shot directly in line with the left-quartering and left 
straightaway birds, made the game most difficult. We tried our 
best not to sling shot at them, but they got peppered a couple 
of times, in .spite of all precautions. The first event was shot 
from the field, so that all the birds were thrown at right angles to 
the shooters. 
Figures after the names indicate handicaps in event No. 4, for the 
box of cigars donated by Capt. Blandford. John Hyland won this 
prize with 19, from the 16yd. mark. 
The following: members have been chosen to shoot on the 
Ossining team against Poughkeepsie on Jan. 1 at Poughkeepsie: 
C. G. Blandford, captain; A. Bedell, W. H. Coleman, 
Wm. Clark, O. W. von der Bosch, M. H. Dyckman, A. Betti, J. 
Carpenter, E. F. Ball, A. L. Burns, J. Hyland, G. B. Hubbell. 
The team will leave Ossining on the 8:54 train. A special shoot 
will be held next Saturday for practice. The team members are 
especially asked to be present at that time, as some of them 
arc sadly in need of practice.

Omaha Gun Club. 
An interesting four-man team shoot took place on the Omaha 
Gun Club grounds at the other end of the Big Bridge yesterday. 
The conditions were 20 live birds to the man. Interstate rules, 
for the price of the birds and a supper at the Paxton. The teams 
were composed of W. D. Townsend, captain, Fred Jones, Joe 
Driesbach and F. Goodrich vs. Frank Fogg, captain, C. A. Lewis, 
C. Shumway and George Rogers. 
The weather was bright and cold, the birds a strong lot of hard 
fliers, and the contest a close and stubborn one, Capt. Townsend's 
side finally winning by the following score:

Christ. Gottlieb, of Kansas City; Frank Cunningham, of St. 
Joseph, and W. D. Townsend, of this city, have arranged, in be- 
half of the respective gun clubs of each city, for a triangular 
trap shoot, five men on a side, 50 targets and 50 live birds to the 
man, for the team championship of the three cities, the losers to 
defray the expenses. A solid silver cup, emblematic of the honor 
will be awarded the man making the highest score in the three 
engagements. The first meeting will be held at St. Joseph, Dec. 
28, 29, 30, and 31, and the next meeting to be decided upon on 
the last day of the initial shoot. The Omaha team will comprise 
such well-known trap shots as G. W. Loomis, Fred Montmorency, 
Billy Brewery, W. D, Townsend and Charlie A. Lewis. The race 
is attracting much attention in the three cities, and each event is 
looked forward to with keenest impatience. 
Sandy Griswold. 
Cincinnati Gun Club. 
CiNCiNXATi, O.— A Strong right quartering wind was blowing 
on Dec. 19, and this, in addition to a cold, drizzling ra1n, made 
good scores impossible, and stopped the shooting about 3 o'clock, 
little practice being indulged in. R. Trimble was high gun with 
43, his nearest competitor being Jay Bee with 35. 
Maynard is having trouble with his hand again, and will go to 
the hospital for the fifth time on Dec. 21, when he will have 
the little finger on his left hand amputated. 
The club has received a challenge from the Urbana Gun Club 
to shoot a match for the Phellis trophy on Dec. 30. The Urbana 
team will be selected from the following members: E. Holding, 
John Muzzy, D. D. Gross, Alf Hill, Jack Ernst, H. N. Kirby and 
Dr. John Keep. A good team can be made up from this material, 
but the Cincinnati club has also just a few good ones, and we 
doubt if the cup changes its abiding place this year. The Urbana 
boys will be at the grounds at 10 A. M., and the match will begin 
at 1:30 P. M. A good attendance of club members is desired.

Nishoyce Gun Club. 
Orange, N. J., Dec. 19.— The shoot of the Nishoyne Gun Club 
to-day on its grounds at Watchung Heights, West Orange, N. J., 
had a few of the steadfast contestants. Competition has languished 
since Thanksgiving Day. The section wherein the club grounds 
are situated are so invaded by the seekers of homes that new 
grounds are a possibility of the near future. A place at the corner 
- of Gregory avenue and Walker road has been under consideration.

Felix aod Miller, 
Philadelphia, Dec. 19. — On the Point Breeze race track to-day 
the special event was the contest at 100 live birds between Messrs. 
A. A. Felix and A. J. Miller, of Philadelphia and Camden re- 
spectively. Hard luck was a reigning factor for each. Many of 
the birds contumaciously fell dead out of bounds. 
Miller, after the match, shot three matches of 5 birds each, 
Rhode Island rules, with Mr. John Morris, which is a style of - 
contest helpful to the S. P. C. A. in its efforts to abolish live- 
bird shooting entirely. Mr. Morris won the three matches on 
the close margin of 6 out of 11' to 2 out of 14. 
The fourth of the special prize series of seven open handicap 
prize shoots, 10 live birds, optional sweepstake, two moneys, re- 
sulted as follows:
