shot on the club grounds since February. He won nevertheless,

Garfield Gun Club, 
Chicago, June 4. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the sixth shoot of the first 
series. Glass A trophy was won by W. A. Jones on 24; Tom 
Jones, Class B, on 22, and Hathaway Class C on 23. 
In the cup shoot, which followed, Richards won in Class A on 
22; Hathaway won in Class B on 22. No Class C shooters entered. 
The day was not a pleasant one for trapshooting, as it rained 
every few minutes, and a strong and at times gusty head wind 
made the flight of the targets very erratic and consequently the 
shooting very difficult. Attendance was good, thirty shooters 
showing up for the ocasion:

Poughkeepsle Gun Club. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., June 2.— At the regular monthly shoot of 
this club to-day there were but seven men out notwithstanding 
that there were three prize events to be shot off, namely: club 
cup, 1,000 Peters shells, and the Bissing medal. Hans and Per- 
kins tied for the cup, and after shooting for the shells were still 
a tie. They finally decided the matter by toss of coin, Hans tak- 
ing shells and Perkins medal. Hans and Perkins both broke 
23 in the cup event, and Hans broke 23 again in the shell contest 
—he had his eye: and the way he centered those targets reminded 
one of a Crosby or Gilbert Traver, too, as usual, did good 
work, missing but one target in event 6. 
This club has just leased new grounds, and when completed 
will have one of the finest in the country— only a minute's walk 
from Main street trolley. There is some talk of opening up 
with a midsummer tournament
