At Hammondt 111., May ?, the club members got interested, 
and as L. S. Carter was finding every one of tliem and broke 100 
straight, it encouraged tlie otliers until all shot at 100 targets. In- 
terest is growing and the membership is increasing. The scores, 
each shooting at 100 targets: Carter 100, Somous 94, E. A. South 
93, Smith 93, South 92, Silvers 89, Bryson 82, Ryan 80. The shoot- 
ing was done over expert traps, and unknown angles. Carter has 
broken the. last 200 straight shot at on these grounds. 
July 18, 19 and 20 there will be, at South Platte, Neb., a tour- 
nament with $-200 added money and two handsome trophies, one of 
which will be that of the Denver Post. This tournament will 
be given by the Buffalo Bill Gun Club. 
Ohio Ttap. 
Cinckmati uua Qob. 
The second match in the series for the amateur championship 
of the club was shot on May 8, Gambeil being high man with 
91, Barker second with 90, and Harig third with 87. The con- 
ditions were quite favorable, and good shooting was done by all. 
Williams is getting back into his shooting form, and has been 
dcir.g good work lately, both at practice and in the regular events. 
May 14 was a cold, cloudy day, with strong wind, and the un- 
favorable weather prevented a large attendance. Seventeen men 
tcck part in the Paiker prize gun shoot, but only six succeeded 
in making the full score. Max Hensler and F. Priddy were at the 
grounds, the former making high score in the main event, 
breaking 89, but shooting for targets only. Of the contestants, 
Randall was high in actual breaks with 87; Peters second with 
85. For the first time in several weeks Jack was on hand and 
lacked but one of making the full score. 
The club will hold an all-day shoot on Decoration Day, and it 
is hoped that a crowd will be present, as an interesting pro- 
gramme has been prepared by Supt. Gambell. 
The club held its annual meeting on May 13 at the Stag Cafe, 
when the following directors were elected: E. B. Barker, Joseph 
Coyle, E. A. Donnelly, R. F. Davies, H. Jergens," Geo. Krehbiel, 
H. Osterfeld, A. M. Norris and R. West. The board will hold 
a meeting for organization very soon.

Pbeliis Trophy Shoot. 
The six-man team of the Cincinnati Gun Club visited Dayton on 
May 10 and shot a match with the Buckeye Gun Club, for the 
above trophy, which the latter won from them in April. The 
match was very closely contested, and the result remained in doubt 
until the last shot was fired, when the totals showed in favor of 
the home team by 244 to 242. 
The Cincinnati boys arrived in Dayton at about 10 o'clock. 
They were met at the station by Messrs. Craig and Curphey, and 
after lunch, proceeded to the grounds and indulged in practice 
shooting for a while. 
The conditions of the match were 50 targets per man, 16yds. rise. 
At the close of the first round the Cincinnati team led by two 
targets, with 121 to 119. In the second round most of the Buck- 
eye shooters improved on their previous work, though Craig, for 
some reason made a poor showing. The visiting shooters im- 
proved a little, but Barker did not show up as well as he is 
capable ; of, and Gambell and Faran fell oft a little, giving the 
round to the home team by 4 targets, 125 to 121. 
Barker's falling off from his usual good form is unaccountable, 
as in the practice events he lost but 8 out of 75, and broke 4(} 
out of the last 50. Faran is also capable of better work, as his 
scores at home will show. 
Gambell tied with Rike on 45 for high gun in the match. Second 
and third high guns went to Garlough and Raymond, of the home 
team, with 44 and 43 respectively. 
The visitors were entertained at dinner in the evening by the 
Buckeye boys, who, as usual, treated their guests to the best 
of everything, and took as much as possible out of the sting of 
defeat. The Cincinnatis will have another try, and the cup will 
surely reach their club house once more.

Springfield Gun Club. 
The tournament of the Springfield, O., Gun Club on May 11 and 
12 was a success, thirty-seven shooters taking part on the first 
day, twenty-one of whom shot the entire programme. There was 
a good representation of visiting sportsmen from Cincinnati, 
Dayton and other cities. The tournament was in charge of Capt. 
Ben Downs, which is assurance that everything was well ar- 
ranged, and that no hitches occurred. The weather was fine on 
both days. 
The shooting began at 9 o'clock promptly, and proceeded 
smoothly, so that the last of the eleven events on the first day 
were finished at 5 P. M. 
Among the visitors was A. W. Ryan, of Troy, who did some 
shooting, and a lot of good work in the interest of the new 
Dayton Gun Club. 
R. Trimble and Taylor tied for high gun on 166; C. O. Le 
Compte, of Eminence, Ky., second with 164; Hensler third with 
161. 
On the second day the crowd had thinned out somewhat. A 
few new shooters were present and twenty-two took part in the 
programme, fourteen shooting in all events. 
Le Compte was high gun with 167; Trimble second with 165; 
Young and Fisher tied for third on 160 each; Gamble fourth 
with 159. 
Eleven events at a total of 180 targets were shot each day; $50 
added and all surplus added. 
High average was tied for by Le Compte and Trimble on 331; 
Young second with 324; Taylor third with 320. The scores:

Poughkeepslc Gun Club. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., May 12.— Two new contests were begun 
in this club to-day that should, before they are completed, be- 
come very interesting to those competing, as well as stimulate 
the shooting. 
Mr. H. W. Bissing has donated a medal to be shot for on the 
sliding handicap system, and to-day being the first shoot, all men 
were started at 19yds., and the race fell to Capt. Traver. The 
other prize, 1,000 Peters highest grade shells, donated by H. E. 
Winans, will be shot for weekly until won five times by some 
one, when they become his own. The shell contest will be con- 
ducted on the added break system, the allowances being deter- 
minea from the average taken from last five trophy shoots of 
each competitor. The Bissing medal must be won four times 
by some one man before the contest will close.

McKeesport, Pa. — Appended are the • scores made on our 
grounds in the contest for the Daily News medal, which was 
shot for on April 30, May 7 and 14. The contest was open to 
all sportsmen living within the territory bounded by Glenwood, 
Monessen, Gill Hall, Pitcarn and Scott Haven. The medal to 
be emblematic of the championship of the above district for the 
year of 1904. Each shoot to be at 50 bluerocks, and all con- 
testants to qualify were to shoot in two of the three contests, and 
the one winning two out of the three shoots was to be the winner. 
On April 30 John Hale, of the Duquesne Gun Club, won the 
first shoot on a score of 48. On May 7 Wesley Hale, of the 
Duquesne Gun Club, and Calhouu, of the home club, tied on 
47, and they agreed to let the tie go until May 14, the one 
making the highest score to be awarded the win for May 7. 
On May 14 it rained hard all the afternoon, but the high men 
were there to shoot, and we thought it best to pull it off. Every- 
thing went off satisfactorily and. ended in one of the closest- 
matches ever shot on our grounds, it was undecided up to the 
very last shot. When 35 birds had been shot, Hale, Everett and 
Calhoun were all tied, and in the last 15, Everett and Calhoun 
dropped their 2d bird, and Hale went 15 straight, putting 1 bird 
to the good, and was awarded the medal. Calhoun made 
the highest average and did not win once.

Cambridge, May 15.— This year's Intercollegiate trapshooting 
tournament was held at Yale's new grounds. New Haven, on May 
7. On the day before. Harvard met Yale in a dual match. Aa 
■in the Intercollegiate, the teams were composed of five men, each 
man shooting 50 targets trown at unknown angles from expert 
traps, the Sergeant system being used. It was an idea) day for 
shooting, but the traps, owing to their newness, broke a good 
many birds. Harvard showed much the better form and shot 
consistently throughout. The team broke 220, an average of 88 
per cent., which beats the collegiate record by 6. Yale's score 
was 181. Remick did the best work for Harvard, breaking 47 
out of 50, and Captain Kineon let the Yale team with 43. The in- 
dividual scores follow:
