York, Pa. — The following scores were made at the last shoot, 
Feb. 22, of the York City Gun Club. The morning was rainy, and 
the afternoon was very windy, which helped to make low scores. 
Mr. D. S. Daudt, the manager of the State shoot, to be held in 
York, Pa., May 16 to 21, was with us at our shoot, and at the 
State shoot committee meeting Mr. McSherry was high gun with 
175 out of 200; Humer 168, Davy Deardorff 157. Mr. Deardorff is 
the oldest gentleman belonging to the club, and Davy said if 
his eyesight was as good as the other young ducks who were 
shooting, he would lay them all in the shade, and I think Davy 
is right. I ^
