Ossining Gun Club. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., Jan. 28.— A "pump gun" was the prize , of- 
fered in competition at the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Ossin- 
ing Gun Club to-day. The conditions were 100 birds, misses as 
kills handicap. 
Jap broke 78 out cf 100, which, with his handicap of 0, gave--him 
a total of 84. Blandford was second with 82. 
The targets were 1 brown hard, t.nd a nasty cold wind made dif- ,, 
ficult shooting, as the scores will testify. 
A large attendance was expected, but as the grounds are isolated 
on account of a trolley tie-up — or, snow-up, rather— we vvill con- 
sider "eleven shooters a fair turnout. Figures after names signify .
