Feb. 18 has been fix^d upon as the date for the Crescent Ath-

Mr. F. K. Stelle, Secretary, writes us as follows: : "In con- 
nection with the shoot of the Bound Brook, N. J., Gun Club on

The freight yards of the Pennsylvania R. R. Co., at Newark, 
N. J., are being enlarged, and will take in the grounds of the 
Forester Gun Club. Tuesday of this week was fixed upon for the 
club's last big shoot, and Feb. 22 for the last shoot on the old 
grounds, dear to memory with the associations of fourteen years' 
shooting.

On Thursday of last week, at Pinehurst, N. C, there was a 
close contest, the leaders who tied being Messrs. C. E. Lock- 
wood, of New York, and C. A. Taft, of Whitingsville, Mass. In 
a shoot-ofif at 25 targets, Mr. Taft, with an allowance of two, won 
with a lead of three. Out of the 50 targets in the event, they 
tied on 41. ■ -■

The Schenectady, N. Y., Gun Club has issued the programme 
of its eighth annual tournament, to be held on Feb. 22. Eight 
events are ofJered, of which seven are at 15 targets and one at 20 
targets. The latter has $2 added. Entrance $1.30 and $1.40. Shoot- 
ing begins at 10 o'clock. Targets 2 cents. Rose system will gov- 
ern the moneys. Shooters may enter for targets only. Loaded 
shells and lunch obtainable on the grounds. Professionals may 
shoot for targets only. High averages $3, $2 and $1. Ship shells 
prepaid to Secretary V. Wallburg, 234 Union St. 
The Newark Sunday News states that "in an exhibition shoot 
yesterday (Feb. 4) afternoon on the grounds of the Smith Gun 
Club, this city, Frank E. Butler, the well-known marksman, and 
husband of Annie Oakley, smashed 98 targets out of a -possible 
100. The exhibition was given in connection with the weekly 
shoot of the club. A large attendance was present, and though 
the shooters were handicapped somewhat by a background of snow, 
good scores were made in the other events." We cannot con- 
ceive the reason of Mr. Butler dropping those two remaining 
targets. Better luck next time.

Mr. Will K. Park, the able trap editor of Sporting Life, Phila- 
delphia, discusses the impending pigeon bill as follows: "Those 
who indulge in pigeon shooting from the traps in this State should 
awaken to the fact that their sport is in danger. The Keystone 
Shooting League, of this city, has taken up the fight, but must 
have the co-operation of every gun club in the State. They have 
issued a call to all trapshooters to help them, and request that 
they 'write to their representatives in the Legislature immediately, 
that they desire the passage of a bill that will only permit the 
shooting of live pigeons from traps when conducted with strict 
accord to the rules of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Asso- 
ciation.' It is believed that the bill can be compromised after this 
manner, if it receives the immediate support of the shooters them- 
selves as above. Please write your representative at once, aad 
induce all your friends to do the same. This is important." 
The programme of the second Grand Sportsmen's Handicap at

Bradford Gun Glub. 
Bradford, Pa. — The regular Saturday afternoon shoot of the 
Bradford Gun Club was held Feb. 4, at the traps at Clarkdale. 
Cold weather deterred many. L. E. Mallory, Jr., made a score of 
75 straight targets before he missed one. His total score was 117 
out of a possible 125 — a score which is seldom equalled. The 
scores of the other shooters were as follows: Pringle 64 out of 
75; Hoey 54 out of 75; White 37 out of 85; Russell 35 out of 55. 
The club is arranging for an all-day shoot on Washington's 
Birthday, Feb. 22, commencing at 9 o'clock in the morning. This 
shoot will be a feature for members of the club, a luncheon being 
among the pleasures planned for the day.

South Side Gun Club. 
Milwaukee, Wis.— At a meeting of the South Side Gun Club,, 
held last Monday, there was a very active campaign of - trap- 
shooting mapped out, to which the ofiicers have pledged them- 
selves toward carrying on a movement that will keep the best of 
gentlemanly sports alive in this city during this year. 
This well established club has been one of the foremost of its 
kind in the State, and is destined to remain so for all time. 
Owning, as it does, its ofcn ground, it has heretofore been 
opposed to a union of all the Milwaukee gun clubs. They are not 
opposed, however, only to this extent, that the club owns their 
land, which is well fitted and arranged to suit the most exacting 
trapshooter. Every device used by this club is up to date, and 
the plans submitted for the present season promise a more brill- 
iant year than that of any previous season. 
The medal and prize committee may be depended upon to hang 
up attractive trophies for this year's competition. With Alderr 
man Becker at the head, the committee is: Dr. Adolph Gropper, 
Chas. F. Pfister, Henry F. Seefeld, Emil O. Hoft'man, Thomas 
J. Fleming and H. Hammersmith. 
This committee will select the medals and arrange for the 
trophies, and will arrange the rules for competition, and that 
will include the handicaps. The following are the tournament 
dates: Feb. 22, May 30, July 4, Nov. 23, Dec. 31, and Jan. 1, 1906, 
one day being devoted to live birds. 
The president's medal, worth $50, has been donated by . Adolph 
Grapper, and the rules have been agreed to, viz.': Shall be shot 
for monthly; the average of the five best scores to each shooter .- 
to decide the monthly winner; if a shooter wins twice in sue-.- 
cession, he will be handicapped one yard; at the close of the 
year the one having won the greatest number of times shall be 
declared the winner; all scores to be made at 15 targets, and to 
be shQt on regular ebooting days.
