was second with 41, and Ahlers, Faran and Don Minto dropped

"Don't think you will be in the way. It will be rny business to 
see that you are comfortable. 
"There will be twenty-seven contests. The more you take part 
in, the more scores you will have to select from. 
"You must compete in fifteen shoots to qualify. You select your 
ten best scores from all you shoot."

Ossining Gun Qub. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., Feb. 13. — While the attendance was good at the 
Lincoln's Birthday shoot of the Ossining Gun Club, a balky 
trap spoiled what would otherwise have been a fine afternoon's 
shoot. The main event was to have been at 100 bluerocks, the 
last 25 of which were to decide a team match between Poughkeep- 
sie and Ossining gun clubs. As the trap was throwing about one 
good bird in five, darkness called the event off after «ke third 
string of 25. 
One of the stipulations governing the team race was that there 
must be no less than eight shooters on a team ; as only six of the 
Poughkeepsie team put in an appearance, the results of their 
scores could only decide the ownership of the individual prizes, 
which were four silver candlesticks. The conditions governing 
these were: "The two high guns from each team in turn shoot 
off at 25 targets, the 'highest combined scores of each two winning 
the four candlesticks; they in turn shooting off for individual 
possession of all four of the prizes. Owing to darkness and a 
slight misunderstanding of the conditions, this event will be 
decided' at a later date, when we expect to have another pleasant 
face with our brother shooters from up the river. 
There were three trade representatives on hand: SimiVGlover, 
Jack Fanning and Neaf Apgar. While Sim won the silver cup for 
Jiigh expert, tliey brok» even in making friends for themselves and 
the companies they represent. Mr. M. Herrington, of Shooting 
and Fishing, shot along. His presence at a shoot is thoroughly 
enjoyed, not alone because he has the knack of saying pleasant 
things in his paper, but on account of his gertial personality. 
First money was won by O. W. Von der Bosch, of Peekskill, 
with 67 out of 75. A. Traver, of Poughkeepsie, landed second, with 
65. C. G. Blandford, of Ossining, captured third. A. L. Burns, 
Mamaroneck, fourth, and James Morrison, New York city, fifth. 
Targets were thrown about 60yds. 
The next trophy shoot of this club will be held on Feb. 20, 
when two cups will be contested for; also tie for telescope will be 
shot off by F. Brandreth and C. Blandford. Scores:

Boston G«i Club. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 10.— The second weekly shoot of the Boston 
Gun Club was held at Wellington to-day. The zero weather pre- 
vented a large attendance, though to be sure, 'enthusiasm was not 
lacking by any means, and events passed off with the usual inter- 
est. To Griffiths and Ford the honors of the afternoon belong, 
both shooting a great gait for these grounds, and gave proof con- 
clusive that the targets were breakable without resorting to 
hatchets and axes, as some shooters claim of the targets made at 
the present time. Ford ran 40 straight, 5 within the ground top 
score, and would have kept at it indefinitely but for ' a lack of 
regular loads, etc. 
The team match proved of great interest, and as the number of 
points begins to enlarge, there will be lots of hustling on each 
aspirant's part to keep the ball rolling. At the present time the 
Frank and Bell syndicate have the lead, and from present indica- 
tions intend to keep it, though there are as usual others, and 
funny things do happen with astonishing regularity. Scores as

Lake Denmark, N. J. — A correspondent informs us that on 
Wednesday of last week a live-bird match took place between Mr. 
Frank Class and Hon. Do Witt C. Flanagan. The conditions were 
50 birds each, $50 a side, loser to pay for birds. Each made re- 
markable kills, and received the applause of the spectators. Class 
shot in his old-time form. Flanagan had the harder birds, and 
several, though hard hit with both barrels, managed to struggle 
across the boundary. The scores:

In the near future, probably Washington's Birtliday"'two local ^ 
shooters, Andrew K- Baker and Charles H. Munson, Jr., will slioot 
a match on tjie same grounds at 50 birds eagh.

Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Ridge, L. I., Feb. 13.— The competition was of a high 
, order, many excellent scores being made. There was a stiff, 
frost-laden wind from the northwest, which numbed the fingers 
of the shooters materially. 
A. G. Southworth and L. C. Hopkins respectively won two of 
the seven 15-target trophy matches; Dr. O'Brien won one prize. 
He and L. C. Hopkins were the high men in the shoot for the 
February cup, ten contestants. Each scored 25. A. G. South- 
worth was the winner of a miss-and-out. The scores:
