Jackson Park Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Dec. 26.— Owing to the clash in dates with an- 
other shoot, the Jackson I'ark Gun Club held a shoot on Wednes- 
day, Dec. 23, and another one to-day, both at live birds. The 
crowd on both dates was large, but the shooters failed to come 
out, probably on account of the holiday. Wednesday was a busy 
day, and to-day followed a holiday. 
Ihe weather this morning was of the regular blizzard kind. 
The club will hold a live-bird shoot next Saturday afternoon, 
commencing at 1 o'clock, and will probably arrange for a big 
two or three days' shoot in February, 1904, for money and mer- 
chandise prizes on a big scale. 
On Dec. 23 those who were present had plenty of sport, as the 
birds were nearly all fast and kept the shooters guessing. 
Bob Radciiffe, of Little Falls, was in good form and did the 
best work. Radciiffe won the first and third events and was 
second in the other event. Eddie Morgan, Van Horn and A. R. 
Radciiffe also shot well.

Springfield Shooting Club. 
Springfield, Mass.— This club held' its annual turkey shoot on 
Christmas, with a fair attendance. The cold, cloudy day kept 
many away from the traps, especially the out-of-town shooters. 
All things considered, the scores made were good. In the first 
shoot for the turkey, event No. 16, Coats and Douglass tied on 18 
targets each, but in the shoot-off Coats won out by 2 targets. 
Douglass, however, took the turkey home. Coats making him a 
present of it.

second with a score of 15 from the 17yd. mark, with Kites a close 
second with 14 from the 19yd. mark. ' 
A wind came up in the afternoon, making the shooting hard.

Felix— Miller. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 26.-The match at Point Breeze be- 
tween Messrs. A. A. Felix and A. J. Miller was unfinished, the 
contestants stopping after the 68th round. At that juncture the 
scores were Felix 54, Miller 52. Darkness and the intensely cold 
weather caused the suspension of the match, the latter by de- 
laying the progress of the match. This contest was really a con- 
tinuation of a match shot between them about two weeks prior 
in which they tied on 83. The money was increased from $100 
to $200 a side, and last Saturday was fixed upon to decide the 
tie. A large crowd of visitors assembled to witness the match, 
notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. A late start 
was made owing to delays caused by the cold. The contestants 
were chilled and fingers numbed in the short while at the score. 
Miller missed 2 out of his first 4, after which two of his birds 
feh dead out just over the wire. He then scored 10 straight, 
felix got a poor start, losing 4 out of his first 10. 
Miller shot in better form on his second string, but at the end 
of the 50th round had a lead of 3. It was then growing dark 
and both men were in poor condition from the cold. They were 
forced to suspend the contest after shooting 18 birds of the 
third string. The match was then called off, with Felix 2 birds 
in the lead. 
No arrangement has been made as to decide the match It is 
expected that they will meet again in the near future The 
scores, 30yds. rise:

Poughkeepsie Gun Club. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., Dec. 24.-Eight men faced the score at 
the weekly shoot of this club to-day. Conditions for shooting were 
not the best, which accounts largely for the rather low scores. 
The best shooting of the day was done by Adriance in the 
cup event. Smith also shot well in this event; and had he" 
broken but one more would have tied the winner. . 
We will have one more practice shoot before the date of our 
second annual tournament rolls around, and as this shoot comes 
just one day previous to the day of the tournamtnt, the boys 
will have a good chance to get some practice for the big shoot 
That some practice is needed a glance at the scores will show. 
Some of the boys have gone stale, which just at this time is 
causing no little worry in camp. However, all liope to be in; 
good form on New Year's Day.

Riverton Gua Club. 
Philadelphia, Dec. 26.-The shoot of the Riverton Gun Club, 
the annual handicap for club members, was at 30 live birds. 
There was a large attendance of shooters and visitors. 
No. 1 and No. 2 sets of traps were used. The wind blew a 
gale and helped the birds accordingly. Sensational kills were a 
feature. A number of birds, hard hit, were carried out of bounds. 
There were sixteen entries. The cup was won by David Long- 
necker, of Philadelphia. He shot at 30 birds, scoring 25, which, 
with his handicap of 2 birds, gave him 27. L. L. Biddle was 
second. He had a handicap of one miss as a kill and one miss 
as a "no bird," giving him a total of 31 to phoot at. He finished 
with 29,
