Anaiostan Gun Clulb. 
Washington, D. C— The fifth annual merchandise tournament 
of the Anaiostan Gun Club was held on their new grounds on 
May 30. There were only two out-of-town marksmen that honored 
us by attending: Mr. E. H. Storr, a trade representative, and 
Dr. E. F. Wayman, of Staunton, Va. Mr. Storr broke his gun 
and was using a borrowed one, and his score suffered in conse- 
quence. Dr. Wayman has just recovered from a long and severe 
illness, and was not in his usual form, but hopes to regain his 
old-time vigor before very long. Several years ago the Doctor 
won the championship of Virginia, and wears a handsome gold 
medal, emblematic of his success. The home shooters turned out 
very well, and about half of the membership of the club was 
represented. The officers labored very hard to make the meeting 
a success, and arrangements were made to handle a large crowd. 
A Leggett trap was used for the programme and a set of experts 
for practice shooting. About 4,000 targets were thrown. 
Event No. 4 was a merchandise event at 30 targets, shot under 
the sliding handicap system. Ten prizes were offered, which went 
to the high guns. Taylor carried off first on 28 out of a possible 
SO; Brown second with a score of 26; James and Wilhite tied on 
25 and tossed up for choice; Wilson, Petrola and George Wise tied 
on 23 for fourth and followed the same plan in choosing their 
plunder. Coleman, Wayman, Nutting and Lainhart scored 22, 
and as all the prizes had been exhausted but three, the four men 
drew straws for the three remaining prizes. Lainhart lost out, 
but Nutting generously turned over his chance to him and Cole- 
man gave his chance to Nutting. 
Event No. 7 was also a merchandise affair for club members 
only. Petrola won first in this with a clean score, and enough 
prizes were on the table for all members who contested, and were 
distributed according to the high guns. Following are the scores:

West End Gun Club. 
Albany, N. Y., May 30.— The West End Gun Club shoot held 
here to-day was very poorly attended. A more unfavorable day 
could not have been selected. It began to rain early in the 
morning, and it continued throughout the day. By 10 o'clock 
a squad of veterans had put in an appearance and decided to 
shoot the programme through, rain or shine. Unfortunately, there 
was no cover at the firing point. It was a remarkable sight to see 
men who have passed the three-score mark going out to face the 
trap in a steady downpour of rain, until 180 shots had been fired. 
I doubt if there is another class of sportsmen who would take 
such chances to enjoy their favorite sport. 
There were twelve shooters who took part during the day, and 
this is jiist twelve more than could have been expected under 
th conditions. 
The trade was represented by Fanning and Doremus. Fan- 
ning's score, under the conditions, was nothing short of a mar- 
velous performance. The shooting of Capt. Traver and Tallman 
was a fine exhibition of amateur work. This was Mr. Snyder's 
first tournament. He will bear watching iti the future. Thfe 
programme consisted of twelve 15-target events. The club oflerfed 
$6 average money to those who shot through the events from 3 to 
12, inclusive, divided $.3, $2 and $1. This was woti by Traver arid 
Tallman and Valentine. Fanning's longest straight run was 65. 
Traver broke 43 straight, and Valentine 39. The scores:

Scranton Rod and Gun Club Annual Shoot. 
ScRANTON, Pa. — A circus, excursions, a rainy day, and numerous 
other shoots were a pretty heavy handicap on the Scranton Rod 
and Gun Club on May 30. Still, it shot through the entire pro- 
gramme and made a pretty good score; and, if it din't make much 
money, it didn't much care, for the part of it that came out had a 
mighty good time. After the regular events were shot out, the 
boys tried the new handicap, "shoot at 25 and then at all you 
miss," and they think it's the proper thing; better than any other 
handicap they have tried at least. 
The caterer, Mr. C. Bunn, served lunch under a large canvas 
tent, and did it to the entire satisfaction of both the shooters and 
visitors.

Ossinlng Gun Qub. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y. — Herewith are the scores of the Decoration Day 
shoot of the Ossining Gun Club. While the attendance was not 
up to expectation, the scores made were first class. The feature of 
the day was the shooting of Mr. J. A. R. Elliott. He is without a 
peer in the shooting world. 
First amateur high average was won by C. G. Blandford, of 
Ossining, who also won the special prize, a silver dish, for best 
percentage in the total of the last four events, 94 per cent. Jap 
(Mr. Chas. Floyd) won second high average money. 
The trap worked fine, and everything passed off without a hitch, 
the programme being finished by 4 o'clock. Events 1 and 2 were 
specials, prize in No. 2 being a telescope, which was won on the 
shoot-off by Jap.

Lawrence Gun Club. 
Lawrence, Mass., May 30.— The initial shoot of the Lawrence 
Gun Club was held May 30, under rather adverse conditions, 
drizzling mist increasing to rainy rain, attended the shoot all 
afternoon. 
The working of the new trap proved entirely satisfactory to all 
concerned, and it was generally acceded that the grounds were 
exceptionally perfect, the targets looming up well even in the 
mist, rain and wind. 
The hustle for first prize kept both shooters and spectators 
guessing until the last shot was fired. President Hall secured the 
honored position of high man, and a new silk umbrella, Mr. 
Tozier, of the Haverhill Gun Club, coming in a' close second to 
him, was allotted a cigar case. Our genial field captain Mr. Piper 
was awarded a gun cleaner, with the assurance that if he used it 
on his gas pipes, he would do better next time. To fourth high man 
Mr. Burridge, was presented a watch charm.

Icdependent Gun Club. 
Easton, Pa., May 30. — With a thunderstorm in progress this 
afternoon the members of the Independent Gun Club, of this 
city, held their holiday shoot on their club grounds. The storm 
had no terrors, and the rain did not dampen the ardor of the 
shooters, as the shooting did not cease during the storm. The 
feature of the shoot was. the high scores made by Messrs. J. H. 
Maurer, J. Pleiss and E. F. Markley, and with the conditiotis 
taken into consideration, the shooting of all was above the aver- 
age. 
The above-mentioned shooters shot a very close race, there 
being only a difference of six targets between the three men. 
The scores: 
Shot at. Broke. Shot at. Broke.

The club now has out two challenges to two different clubs in 
this section and both have been accepted. These challenges are 
for ten team races, 25 targets per man. The Independent has won 
three out of the last four races shot, and think they are about as 
good as any ten-man team in this section of the State.
