Mo rgantown, W. Va., Sept. 29. — The first annual tournament of 
the Recreation Rod and Gun Club, of this city, was held at the 
grounds of the club, Recreation Park, on Tuesday, Sept. 27, and 
proved a success in every particular, with the single exception 
that lack of time compelled the cancelling of the last two money 
events. 
Fifty-four sportsmen from the surrounding towns, Pittsburg and 
Wheeling were in attendance and participated in all the events, 
and from all appearances passed a thoroughly enjoyable day. 
The club served a lunch, soft drinks and cigars on the grounds 
to all shooting during the day, and entertained them at dinner 
at the Hotel Peabody in the evening. 
The trade was represented by Messrs. L. Z. Lawrence, H. C. 
Watson. 
Mr. Lawrence, shooting throughout the day, made an average 
of 96.4 per cent, on 60 targets over the Leggett trap and 80 tar- 
gets over the experts, Sergeant system. 
Amateur high average for the entire shoot was won by C. S. C, 
Brownsville, Pa., with 91.8 per cent. 
This prize, a case of loaded shells, was donated by the Peters 
Cartridge Co., through its Pittsburg representative, Mr. Chas. 
G. Grubb. 
The intercity team race, five men, 25 birds per man, was won 
by the Fairmont Gun Club, with Recreation Rod and Gun Club 
second. 
Other merchandise prizes were: Set of cut-glass, won by Mr. 
Geo. H. Thompson, Brownsville, Pa.; box of cigars, won by Mr. 
W. A. Wiedebusch, Fairmont, W. Va. ; pair shoes, won by Dr. 
J. O. McNeely, Fairmont, W. Va. 
The McDermott special, $10 cash, donated by Col. Jos. H. 
McDermott, to be shot for by the high, gun in each team en- 
tered in the intercity team race, was tied for by G, A, Long,

Scores of the club team race, five-man teams, 25 birds per man: 
Fairmont Gun Club, 108; Recreation Rod and Gun Club, of 
Morgantown, W. Va., team No. 1, 106; Harris Gun Club, 105; Man- 
nington Gun Club, 100; Brownsville Gun Club, 99; Recreation 
Rod and Gun Club of Morgantown, W. Va., team No. 2, 88; 
Grafton Gun Club, 79. 
Sept. 30. — The Recreation Rod and Gun Club, of this city, held 
its twenty-sixth regular weekly shoot at Recreation Park this after- 
noon with eleven guns out. The club championship medal was 
won for the week by W. N. Dawson, with 86.4 per cent, for the 
entire programme. 
The president's cup was won for the week by Geo. F. Miller, 
who broke 19 birds in this' event. 
Mr. L. Z. Lawrence was the guest of the club for the day, and 
after the regular programme was shot off, gave an exhibition shoot 
at 100 birds, and in spite of a high wind, which was very gusty, 
broke 97 out of the 100 birds. This score makes Mr. Lawrence's 
record over our Leggett trap to-day, and in Tuesday's tournament 
157 out of 160 shot at, and for the two days' shooting over both 
the Leggett and expert traps, 252 out of 260 shot at. . 
On both days the wind was very strong and gusty, making good 
scores extremely difficult, and we think that Mr. Lawrence has 
established a record for our grounds which will stand for some 
time. The scores:

New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Island, N. Y., Oct. 1.— The opening of the trapshoot- 
ing season was well attended, and as this day was also the day of 
the fall athletic games, the shooting ground was fairly packed with 
spectators. The conditions were very hard, as a gale swept across 
the traps all the afternoon and made the flight of the targets 
very irregular. 
Mr. W. P. Norton won the first two events without any trouble. 
He shot in better time than any one else. Mr. Greiff did not 
shoot up to his regular mark in the first two events, as he was a 
little handicapped with a new gun, which he had had made for 
himself, and which arrived only on the day of this shoot. It did 
not take him long to get used to the new weapon, as he, in the 
third and fourthy trophy, broke 47 out of 50. 
Mr. Barnes was not in his usual good form, neither was Mr. 
Bechtel. 
The fifth and sixth, trophy, was won by Mr, Meyer, who came 
up with a party of friends on his steam yacht Maspeth. Although 
the shooting was very hard, the shooters spent an enjoyable 
afternoon. Scores: 
Event 1, target handicap, 25 targets, for silver trophy: W. 
Norton (3) 23, S. Gales (7) 20, F. Barnes (4) 22, C. Shroeder (7)
