Ossining: G«n Club. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., Dec. 24.— The inclosed scores were made on 
the grounds of the Ossining Gun Club, Dec. 24. Three shooters

Dec 26.— As usual, there was a good turnout of members at the 
Christmas shoot of the Ossining Gun Club. There were a fine 
lot of prizes to shoot for-all donated by the president of the 
club. Col. Franklin Brandreth. There were to have been fifteen 
10-clay bird distance handicap events for as many prizes— no 
shooter to win more than one prize. 
The boys turned out in such good shape that darkness put a 
stop to the fun at 4:45 at the end of the tenth event. It was so 
dark while the last event was being shot that the targets hit 
disappeared, while those missed were swallowed up in the dark- 
ness before they touched the snow. The targets were thrown 
nearly 60yds.. and aside from thi speed, seemed hard tq break. 
Old Sim Glover was the only trade representative present. 
He made one of the three straights made during the afternoon. 
Sim is all right, and always welcome. Capt. A. Traver. of 
Poughkeepsie, was on hand as a guest for H. W. Bissing, and 
did some good shooting. Scott, Sturgis and Connors, three local 
shooters, did some good work with strange guns. 
An eight-man team from this club will go to Poughkeepsie on 
Jan. 2 to lift the cup, which has been won from us twice— and 
this is no idle dream. 
The winners of the ten events to-day drew lots for choice ot 
prizes Iraver wen the first event after a miss-and-out, and got 
third choice, a gold medal. Floyd won second event after miss- 
and-out, and drew sixth choice, a silver-mounted brier pipe. 
Dyckman got third alone and fifth choice, a silver serving dish. 
Stratton won fourth alone, and drew silver shaker on .aint.i 
choice. Hvland got silver co.Tee set on tray in fifth event 
Coleman won 2 pounds pipe tobacco in sixth event. Bedell 
won meerschaum pipe in seventh event. Bissmg won sil-., 
teapot in eighth event. Barlow won silver service dish in 
nth event. Blandford won silver-lined copper tea set on tray 
tenth event. The five remaining prizes will be shot for on 
Saturday, the 31st. inst., by those who failed to land a prize to- 
dav. Those eligible are D. Brandreth, F. Brandreth W. Smith.

Fulford Memorial. 
Wilmington, Del., Dec. 30.— Since my last report of the , 
progress of the fund for the Fulford Memorial, under date ofj 
Dec. 1. at which time there was on hand $174. additional dona-i 
tions to date amount to $112. and bring the total up to $286, ' 
the subscribers being as follows: F. C. Riehl. L. D. Thomas. H 
P. Fessenden, R. O. Heikes, Richard Merrill, F. E. Mallory. 
J. F. Mallory, S. T. Mallory, O. R. Dickey, Ed. Brady, C. W.

I am certain the committee is not altogether satisfied with the 
only fair progress that is being made, and I hope parties who in- 
tend to subscribe will send in the subscriptions during the ensuing 
month, as the amount sufficient to erect a suitable memorial;, 
should be gotten together by Feb. 1, so that the fund can be,; 
turned over to the committee and .arrangements begun for the' 
selection and early installment of the monument.
