Secretary E. J. Loughlin, Utica, N. Y., writes . us as follows: 
"The Riverside Gun Club's shooting house and equipments were 
swept away by recent flood in this vicinity and have become a 
part of the valley driftwood. This misfortune, however, will not 
deter us from being in the game the coming season. Our grounds 
V. ill be put in condition for regular shoots as soon as the present 
liigh water recedes." 
Mr. S. G. Miller, secretary of the Haverhill, Mass., Gun Club, 
writes us as follows: "The feature of our eighth annual Patriot's 
Day tournament, April 19, will be a five-man team match, 50 
targets per man. Open to all gun clubs. Each member of the 
winning team will be presented with a suitable souvenir. We have 
already received assurances that the Boston Gun Club, of Boston; 
the Birch Brook, of Lynn, and Powwow Gun Club, of Ames- 
bury, will be in the field with a team, and the home club will try 
and make it interesting for the visitors. We are quite sanguine 
of several other teams being present. A cordial invitation is 
extended to all shooters." 
The programme of the Interstate Association tournament, given 
for the Americus, Ga,, Gun Club, April 27 and 28, has nine events 
each day, five at 20 and four at 25 targets, $2 and $2.50 entrance,

U. M. C. Soathcrn Sqaad. , 
The U. M. C. Sotithern Squad began at Paducah, Ky., the 
last week of their three months' tour, Monday, March 28. The 
Paducah Gun Club were out in full force, giving the visitors a 
rousing reception. - , , 
The. day was -ideal for shooting, and every one shot exception- 
ally well. Billy Heer missed but one out of 100 targets, and he 
was high man. The Squad averaged 94 per cent, for the day. 
On Tuesday, Owensboro, Ky., was the place, and Davies County 
Club entertained. Heer ran 100 straight, and Budd came next 
with 97. The Squad this day averaged 93 per cent. 
At Louisville, Wednesday, with the Jefferson Country Gun Club, the 
fine work of the two previous days was continued. Here the 
Squad averaged 97 per cent. Also a number of amateurs caught 
the spirit of their associates, and made some enviable runs. 
This has been a most interesting State to visit, and all vote that 
Kentucky is not a "hard road to travel." For the three days Mr. 
Heer had an average of 99 per cent., breaking 297 out of 300. The 
Squad for the three days had an average of 94 2-3 per cent., which 
is most phenomenal, considering the fact that they have been 
traveling nights and shooting nearly every day for the past three 
months. The scores, 100 targets, follow: 
Paducah. Owensboro. Louisville.

PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., March 31.— To-day, the last day of March, 
instead of bright sunshine and warm spring air, with the robin and 
bluebird singing gayly, a young blizzard was raging, and gloves 
and overcoats were none too comfortable. Notwithstanding the 
unfavorable conditions, five men faced the score, and endeavored 
to smash bluerocks that were being thrown to the limit of the 
trap, a good 70yds. The scores made,- while not high, were very 
good, considering conditions. In the cup event, Winans scored 
a win, while Smith came within one point of tying him. Traver 
Smith and Winans now have four wins each out of the six 
necessary, while several others have three each. 
The Schenectady and Ossining gun clubs will each send a team 
here on the 23d inst. to compete in a three-cornered team match.

Bound Brook Gun Club. 
Bound Brook, N. J., April 2.— The Bound Brook Gun Club to- 
day held its first shoot for the handsome silver loving cup donated 
by Dr. J. B. Pardoe, a very active member of the gun club. 
The wind made target shooting very trying, as it came in gusts, 
and made the targets tower skyward. Owing to the high wind, 
only eight members contested for the Pardoe trophy. T. K. Stelle 
and A. K. Smith tied. B Prugh came in second with 24. In 
the shoot-off, Stelle and Smith tied again. Then they shot from 
scratch at 5 targets, and still they were a tie. In the next 5 
Smith came out one target ahead, and was the winner. 
The Bound Brook Gun Club expects to hold a silver shoot 
April 16, all prizes are silver. The club will have an automatic 
trap, which will make it worth coming to see in action and to 
shoot over. 
The club holds its regular shoot on the third Saturday of each 
month. All visitors are welcome.

South Side Gun Club, 
M*LWAUKF.E, Wis.— For the purpose of stimulating the attend- 
ance of members of the South Side Gun Club, the oldest trajt- 
shocting organization in Wisconsin, President James E. Bush has 
offered a silver loving cup for competition, which will be con- 
ducted along novel lines, as the trophy will be awarded to the 
member who shoots the greatest number of scores during the nine 
months which constitute the club's season. Skill in. snuffing out 
bluerocks will not count at all in this contest, which will be one 
of endurance and regularity in attendance instead. The first shoot 
for the cup took place April 2, and the final date set for com- 
petition is for Jan. 1, 1905, when the winner will be announced. 
There was never a time in the history of sport in this city when 
the interest in trapshooting reached the point it has at the present 
time. 
There are six live clubs in fvdl operation at the present time, and 
weekly meetings attract a large proportion of the membership of 
each organization. The South Side, Wisconsin, Jolly, Cream City, 
National, and Parker clubs have the largest memberships, and in 
addition, there are two rifle clubs which hold weekly competitions 
to bring the members together. The Milwaukee Sharpshooters 
and Milwaukee Rifle Club have distinct organizations, as well as 
separate ranges, on which high scores are made when the members 
get into competition. 
Following are the scores made to-day by the several clubs: 
South Side Gun Club.

The Ctewego Valley Rod and Gun Club, 
Shingle House, Pa., April 1. — It is customary for the manage- 
ment of tournaments to explain their small attendance to in- 
clement weather, and low scores to a combination of rain and high 
winds. The nineteen sportsmen who faced the traps at this place 
Friday will attest that we had both rain and wind, and plenty of 
it. Dougherty, of Bolivar, N. Y., was high gun with 159; Elliott, 
of Wellsville, N. Y., was second with 155; Nobles, of Olean, was 
low gun with 133.
