Last year we had over sixty shooters, and it is our intention to 
make this event of 1905, both in number of attendance and in 
importance to the shooting fraternity, eclipse all previous tourna- 
ments held in this vicinity."

New York Athletic Clob. 
Travers Island, N. Y., Dec. 10.— A steady snowfall, with a 
light, shifting wind and a dull light, made difficult weather con- 
ditions for good scores. The club grounds, on Travers Island, 
are close by the famous amusement resort, Glen Island, so 
popularly patronized by New York dwellers in summer. The 
grounds are perfectly equipped for trapshooting competition and 
for comfort. Mr. Greiff was shooting a new gun, which materi- 
ally affected his shooting, inasmuch as he did not know its pecu- 
liarities. Mr. Ilibbard's gun punished him by cutting his trig- 
ger finger and in turn decreasing his scores. 
The opening event was at 15 targets, practice shooting, and the 
scores were as follows: McMurtry 7, Waters 10, Greiff 9, Barnes 9. 
Second event, 10 targets, practice: McMurtry 7, Waters 6, 
Greiff 7, Barnes 8, Hibbard 5. 
The December cup event was shot in two strings of 25.

delegation of professionals will visit the club, and give a high
