168 out of 175; second, L. J. Squier, with 166; third, R. S. Deniker,

336 out of 350; second, L. J. Squier, with 326; third, A. B. Kelly, 
with 319, and fourth, R. S. Deniker, with 307.

Poughkeepste Gun Club. 
PnnrHKEFPSiE N Y., July 7:— After several weeks' intermis- 
giS 5 which time the y club house, traps and. other equip- 
ment have been moved and new grounds been put m shape, this 
cub began shooting again to-day, this being the regular monthly, 
c ub *hoot We now have grounds easy of access, and which for. 
background and other advantages are hard to equal. In addi- 
tion to the magautraps, we are putting m a rapid-fire trap and 
' " usine circular platforms built to standard regulations. If, m 
case ft if ncce U s; a ary P to put in more traps to handle a big tourna- 
ment we have plenty of room to-do it. The grounds can be 
reached from central part of city within five minutes by two 
trollev lines, and are but a minute's walk from either line at 
Grand avenue junction. Strangers coming to our future shoots 
will have no trouble in finding grounds, as landing direct to 
grounds, and all conductors know where. to let you off 
The scores made to-day, with exception of Traver s m cup 
event, were not of a very high order, owing, perhaps to strange 
o-vmmds and lack of practice. ........ 
The contest for the Peters shells was a better race than that 
for the cup as scores will show. We shoot every Thursday, and 
visiting sportsmen are cordially welcomed..

usual, many coming cut to get a try at the traps before the

the lawn, and the fences and buildings are decorated with the 
cards and advertising matter of the gun and ammunition houses. 
Nothing was lacking but the crowd, and that will be here next 
week. . For the first time in several weeks R. Trimble was

was thrown at 9. A. M. until the sun disappeared behind the 
Soldiers' Home hill. The wives and children also enjoyed the 
day. A plentiful and substantial lunch was served free to every- 
body all day. The medal event had a record entry of twenty-six
