Edgewater, N. J., March 30. — The grand spring tournament of 
the North River Gun Club was held to-day and was a complete 
success in every way. Visitors from Dssining, Warwick, Chester 
and Poughkeepsie, and many other points in New York State and 
New Jersey shot through the programme. Thirty-two shooters 
Vi/ere on the ground, twenty-four of whom shot through the entire 
programme. 
Not a straight score was made in any of the 25-target races, 
and only two 10 straights and one 15 straight were made, the lat- 
ter by J. S. Fanning. 
First prize in the merchandise event, a case of shells, ■ was 
divided by Carl Richter, of the North River Gun Clvib; D. 
Brandreth, of Ossining, and Capt. L. Ti-aver, of Poughkeepsie. 
The second prize, a Bristol steel fishing rod, was won by Mr. 
L. Goetter. The third prize, a Blauvelt knit shooting jacket, went 
to Ml-. H. Brugmann, the two latter of New York. The fourth 
prize, an Upthegrove shooting coat, was won by Mr. George 
Piercy, of Jersey City. 
Schorty and Jap tied for high average on the score of 133 out of 
150, and divided. Our versatile Capt. C. Ernst Eickhoff won the 
low amateur average. The professional high average was won 
by J. S. Fanning, who' excelled the score of Mr. W. G. Hearne 
by the narrow margin of one target. 
Over 5,000 targets were trapped, and everything ran along very 
smoothly. 
Johnny Jones acted as scorer and Mr. F. C. Schneider was a 
very efficient referee. 
The trade was represented by Mr. A. A. Schoverling, H. Keller, 
Sim Glover, J. S. Fanning, W. G. Hearne and G. R. Schneider. 
The weather was all that could be desired, barring a rather 
changeable light, until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when a 
shower of short duration passed over. 
Handicap figures in event 5 only. Half original handicaps added 
to scores of those who shot off ties in events 7 and 8. Totals in

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., .'\pril 2. — The Hudson Gun Club held its 
first shoot for April on this date, and the members turned out in 
sufficient numbers to keep things moving at a lively clip. Among 
those that were present to-day were Carl Von Lengerke, Mr. 
Craft, Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Piercy and Schorty. The severe weather 
of the winter had kept them away. 
The day was fine overhead, but the wind blew a gale, making 
shooting very difficult; but some good scores were made, Mr. 
Staples and Mr. Piercy being high, with Schorty close up. 
The club has decided to install new traps as soon as the weather 
will permit, as the ones in use did not work as well as could be 
desired. The next shoot will be held on April 16.

Red Dragon Canoe Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., April 3.— Three trophy shoots were held 
by the trapshooters of the Red Dragon Canoe Club on the 
grounds at Wissinoming, Pa., on Saturday. The weather was 
pleasant, but a strong north wind cut the targets down in a 
puzzling way, and as the traps were on the end of the wharf, the 
full force of the wind was felt. 
Fenimore shot in fine form in the first two events and cap- 
tured the prize in each. In the third event for the Fenimore 
silver trophy, Mrs. Park won by breaking 41 and having an allow- 
ance of 8, which made a total of 49. Fenimore started with 25 
straight, but fell down on the second string. 
The targets were thrown unknown angles. The scores follow:

Stanley Gun Club. 
ToK.OK ro, April 1.— The regular weekly shoot of the Stanley Gun 
Club took place on their grounds on Saturday. In addition to 
the regular practice, the return match in the City Blue Rock 
League was shot between the Stanley and Balmy Beach gun 
clubs. The day being fine, there was a large turnout of the 
members and friends of both clubs. The match was shot seven- 
teen men a side, and was won by the Stanleys by 59 birds. A 
strong northeast wind, blowing from behind and across the 
traps, caused the rightquarterer and straightaway to dip sharply, 
causing, the contestants to overshoot their birds, which kept 
the scores lower than they would otherwise have been. The 
following is a summary of the shoot: 
Team. match, 25 targets:

To cut, or not to cut; that is the question. 
Whether 'tis not better in the end 
To let the chap who knows not the worth 
Have the work at cut-throat price, or, 
To take up arms against his competition, 
And, by ooposing cut for cut, end it. 
To cut— and by cutting put the other cutter 
Out of business— 'tis a consummation 
Devoutly to be wish'd. To cut— to slash- 
Perchance myself to get it in the .neck- 
Ay, there's the rub; for when one starts 
To meet the other fellow's price, 'tis like as not 
He's up against it good and hard. _ 
To cut and slash is not to end the confusion 
And the many evils the trade is pestered with; 
Nay nav, Paiiline; 'tis but the forerunner 
Of debt and mortgage such course portends. 
'Tis well to get- the price the work is worth 
And not be bullied into doing it 
For what So-and-So will do it for. 
Price-cutting doth appear unseemly . 
\nd fit only for the man who knows not 
What his work is worth, and who, ere long. 
By very stress of making vain comparison 
'Twixt bank account and liabilities. 
Will make his exit from the business. ^ . , „ ,
