At the New York Athletic Club target shoot, held in connection 
with the club games, at Travers Island, June jl, ' the guests' 
sterling silver cup was won by Mr. A. A. Schoverling, with the 
excellent score of 47 out of 50 targets. - 
In the first of a cup series of seven contests arranged by the 
S S. White Gun Club, and held at Gorgas Station, Pa., June 11, 
.Mr. Chas. Newcomb scored a win with 24 out of 25 targets. In 
the club event at 25 targets, he also broke 24. 
At Camden, N. J., June 11, a return match was shot between 
fifteen-man teams of the Clearview Gun Club, of Darby, Pa., and 
the North Camden Gun Club. Each man shot at 25 targets. The 
Clearview club won by a score of 305 to 279. 
The Buckeye Gun Club of Dayton, O., still hold possession of 
the Phellis trophy by virtue of 263 to 244, the latter being the 
result of the Cincinnatit team's effort on June 7. There were 
six men on a side, and each man shot at 50 targets. 
Mr. F. J. Person, secretary, informs us that the Infallible Gun 
Club, of Buffalo, N. Y., has fixed upon July 4 for an amateur 
tcuMiament. There will be added money and merchandise prizes 
for the high guns. Professional experts may shoot for targets

Under date of Jttne 9, Mr. Edward F. Markley, secretary I. G. 
C, writes us as follows: "The Independent Gun Club's challenge 
to the Pattenburg Gun Club, of Pattenburg, N. J., has been ac- 
cepted, and the match will be shot on the grounds of the latter 
club Saturday afternoon, June 18. The conditions are as follows: 
Ten men to team, and 25 targets per man. The losers are to pay 
tor a supper, to be given to both teams at Milbern's Retreat." , 
A telegram of June 13 to us from Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, secre- 
tary-manager of the Interstate Association, conveys the informa- 
tion that on the morning of that day, in addition to the list of 
entries published elsewhere in our columns, fifty more were re- 
ceived. This insures that the Grand American Handicap at tar- 
gets, to be held at Indianapolis next week will be a grand success, 
and also that the manager will be a busy man. 
The Jeanuette Gun Club, and the Columbia Fishing Club, of 
Eltingville, Staten Island, held an invitation shoot at the Hudson 
County, N. J., Driving Park, on June 3, and, like previous shoots 
held jointly by these two organizations, it was a delightfully pleas- 
ant affair. Valuable merchandise prizes rewarded the skill of the 
shooters, and pleasant sociability and good cheer made the outing 
enjoyable for the shooters and their guests. 
There are nine target events on the programme of the Aquid- 
ncck Gun Club shoot, to be held at Newport, R. I., June 18. 
This is the first of the club's summer tournaments. Six events 
are at 15 and three at 20 targets, $1 and $1.25 entrance. Shooting 
begins at 11:30. Manufacturers' agents may shoot for targets 
only. Targets 1% cent. Rose system. Sweepstakes optional-. 
Ship shells care of the secretary, Mr. J. S. Coggeshall, 32 Church 
street. Next shoot will be on July 30. 
I'he tie for the Pennsylvania individual State championship at 
live birds, of which the Williamsport diamond badge is the 
emblem, will be shot off at Harrisburg, Pa., June 18, on the 
grounds of the East Harrisburg Shooting Association. The con- 
testants are Messrs. Pyle, of Pittsburg; Stroh, of Pittston and 
Hepler, of Harrisburg. The East Harrisburg Gun Club handi- 
cap will also be shot. This is an event at 20 live birds, handicaps 
25 to 33yds., entrance $12, open to all. This contest will com- 
mence at 1 o'clock. Target events will commence at 9 o'clock. 
On Tuesday of last week the Emerald Gun Club shot the 
October and November shoots, on Outwater's grounds, Carlstadt, 
N. J. To finish the year's series, two shoots a month have been 
shot, since the New Jersey Legislature passed a law which prohibits 
pigeon shooting in that State after July 4. In the October event 
four were high with 9 out of 10, namely, J. Fischer, L. Colquitt, 
A A. Schoverling and L. H. Schortemeier, the latter shooting 
from the 32yd. mark. In the November event, three killed 
straight, namely, L. Colquitt, J. Whitley and J. Morrison. 
Mr. T. W. Morfey, of Dover, clinched some nails in the cham- 
pionship of New Jersey, on Thursday of last week, by defeating 
Mr. Frank Muldoon, of Freehold, in a , contest for the cham- 
pionship trophy at Lake Denmark. Each shot at 25 live birds, 
and Mr. Morfey won by a score of 24 to '22. Mr. Muldoon lost 
two birds dead out. The referee, Mr. Henry C. Koegel, chal- 
lenged the holder, Mr. Morfey, and they will contest for the State 
championship at Lake Denmark, on June 25. The average trap- 
shooting reporter— other than the professionals — in expressing his 
emotional states of mind which he mistakes for sound judicial 
decisions, has two classes to which he calmly relegates the 
majority ■ of trapshooters — namely, "the has beens" and "the 
second time on earth." Mr. Morfey has been classed both ways, 
and it is not nice for him to shoot in such a first-class manner 
as he is shooting, and has been shooting.

Lowell, Moss., June 11.— The Lowell Rod and Gun Club held 
their fir.;t serial shoot to-day. While there was a large attendance,

the score earlier in the season. Reliable. "45," usually in the
