Montclair Gun Club* 
Montclair, N. J., March 26.— The cup shoot this afternoon was 
very well attended, over twenty taking part. 
Although the sky was overcast, and the wind at times quite blus- 
tery, the weather conditions were generally favorable, and all pres- 
ent had a good time. 
Arrangements had been made with a Newark photographer to 
take a large picture of the club, which was done when the shoot 
was about half over. 
Interest has been increasing of late. The club has added to its 
membership quite largely, and is in a very prosperous condition. 
Messrs. Schneider, Cross and Case, Jr., were the guests of the 
club.

Poughkeepsie Gun Club. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., March 24.— The sun shone brightly and 
the air was warm to-day. The conditions were just right for 
trapshooting. 
The trap was speeded up and the targets thrown 70yds., giving 
excellent practice. Some of the boys could hardly adapt them- 
selves to the changes of speed, and scores suffered. 
Capt. Traver, as usual, shot in good form; and Du Bois also 
gave a good account of himself. Hans was unused to the gun 
he was shooting, but toward the last began to "get on." Du 
Bois captured the cup with a full score, with Traver and Winans 
but one point to the bad. Marshall did some good work,^ but was 
a little unsteady at times. Buckley has just recovered from a 
serious illness; therefore was in no condition to shoot well. 
D'Arcy is a new one, willing to learn. Smith can do better, and 
will, next time. Scores follow:

Ossining Gun Club. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., March 26. — The next regular practice shoot of 
the Ossining Gun Club will be held on April 2, at 2 P. M. The 
members are requested to make a special effort to be present, as 
there will be three prizes to compete for. 
The captain of the Schenectady Gun Club, Mr. Valentine Wall- 
burg, has sent a challenge to the Ossining Gun Club to shoot a 
long deferred match between these two clubs, to be shot on 
neutral grounds. Poughkeepsie is to be the battleground, and as 
each one of these clubs has a match to its credit, this final match 
will be of particular interest. At the last team shoot, which was 
held at Schenectady, the winning team won by 3 targets, with a 
general percentage of 879, ten men up. 
Members of the Ossining team and aspirants for same, will try 
to be present for practice on April 2, as this team shoot is to be 
held some Saturday afternoon during the month of April.
