PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., Jan. 2.— The annual New Year's Day 
shoot of the Poughkeepsie Gun Club, held to-day on their grounds 
at Arlington, was a big success, despite the unfavorable weather 
conditions. Thirty-eight men competed, thirty-one of whom 
shot the whole programme. Two traps were used, from which 
4,720 targets were thrown, 3,593 being broken by the shooters. 
The trade was represented as follows: Messrs. F. E. Butler, 
Geo. R. Ginn, J. W. Briggs, H. E. Winans, Sim Glover, T. E. 
Doremus and H. S. Welles. High average went to Siin Glover, 
Staples capturing second, while Jap and Capt. Traver tied for 
third place. Welles was second among the professionals, and 
Butler third. Events No. 4 and 8 were merchandise events, the 
Ossining-Poughkeepsie team match also being shot oiT in event 
No. 8. A cold, drizzling rain, attended by a fog, made the day 
decidedly uncomfortable and conditions hard for good shooting.

Notes. 
Everything went along as regularly as clock work, and much 
favorable comment was heard from all sides. 
H. W. Bissing proved an efficient man in the office, and to him 
is much credit due for the general success of the shoot. 
Tompkins and Hendricks "did the trick" in the team match — 
25 straight — and under hard conditions, too. 
President Adriance, suftering from neuralgia and in no con- 
dition to shoot, was present, and gave valuable assistance in 
scoring, etc. 
Sim Glover won high average honors, and made an unfinished 
run of 60 straight as well. 
Harry V aientme was not in his usual good form — better luck 
next time, Harry. 
The Brandreth cup must be won three . times to own — 
Poughkeepsie 2, Ossining 1, to date. The next match will, no 
doubt, be a "hot one." 
Capt. Traver did excellent shooting, considering that he was 
the busiest man outside the office. 
The new grounds, overlooking "Fair Vassar," were made to 
order, judging from the comment heard. 
Sec'y Du Bois was unable to reach the grounds until the after- 
noon, from which time he gave valuable aid in looking after 
things generally. 
A spring tournament is being talked of, and the date will be 
announced early enough to give the "disappointed ones" a chance 
to make all arrangements to attend. Hew.

Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 2.— The trapshooters turned out in great 
force to compete at the New Year's Day shoot of the Bergen 
Beach Gun Club. Shooting continued till darkness intervened 
and made sighting the targets a matter of guesswork. The club 
officers, Messrs. F. W. and H. W. Bergen, president and secre- 
tary, respectively, and Mr. H. W. Dryer, were generous hosts 
and extended courteous attention to all present. Mr. L. H 
Schortemeier, famots trapshooter and expert, had the intricat 
task of manager. 
The grounds are' situated conveniently for shooters. The trans 
portation line passes within a few steps of the club house. 
The weather was not of the kind which promotes high scores 
The light was heavy, and in the latter part of the afternoon 
drizzling rain fell. 
The programme consisted of 170 targets, 120 of which were i 
15-target sweepstakes. Those who preferred, could shoot for tar 
gets only at the rate of 15 for 25 cents. Paid experts shot for 
targets only. The main event was at 50 targets, distance handi- 
cap, 16 to 21yds. rise, for twelve merchandise prizes of value to 
shooters. Entrance $2.50, including, targets. Highest score, first 
choice; second high or ties, next choice, and so on until all the 
prizes are distributed in this event. Handicaps by Harry Bergen, 
Capt. Dreyer and the manager.. The scores were as follows:

Recreation Rod and Gun Club. 
MoRG-'\NTOWN, W. Va., Jan. 2.— The Recreation Rod and Gun 
Club, of this city, held a New Year's Day shoot at its grounds 
to day, with 27 guns out, and under fair vv-eather conditions, except 
that the wind was rather variable. 
A team of five men representing the Fairmont Gun Club, at- 
tended, and during the day shot a 25-target race with the team 
of the Recreation Ciub, the latter winning by a score of 94 to 85. 
Mr. Wiedebusch, of the Fairmont team, was high gun for the 
day, shooting through the entire programme. 
During the day a "loving cup," donated by the officers of the 
club, for individual high score at 10 targets, was shot for and 
won by Mr. Lilly, of Fairmont, after a spirited shoot-off of a 
straight score tie with Mr. Dawson, Mr. Lilly winning on his 
eleventh bird. 
After the shooting was over, at dark, the members of the club 
and their guests, repaired to Stine's Cafe, where all "broke 
straight" on roast suckling pig, with the customary trimmings, 
only leaving the tables in time to catch the late train to their 
homes. The scores:

Fulford Memorial Fund. 
Utica, N. Y., Jan. 6.— The gun club here held a shoot Jan. 2, 
which was largely attended. All the money received from one 
event, in which a prize was offered by the club, was "donated to 
the Fulford Memorial Fund, which shows that poor Ed. was fully 
appreciated in his home town. 
Now, I know that there are many of his friends who have failed 
to contribute to the fund now being raised for the erection of a 
m.onument to his memory by the sportsmen of America. This is 
probably an oversight on their part, so I wish to call attention to 
the fact that no money will be received after Feb. 1. So send in 
your mite, no matter how small. 
For a while the names of all who have contributed will be 
published, the amounts given will not be mentioned. 
Remit to J. T. Skelly, duPont Powder Co., Wilmington, Del. 
All who attend the New York shoot at Utica in June will have 
a chance to see a monument over the remains of E. D. Fulford 
that will be a credit to us all. Frank E. Butler.
