at the weekly shoot of the New York Athletic Club. Tom Mc- 
Cahill, Dan Bradley and Eddie Murphy, the Carteret Gun Club 
experts, and Albert Tilt, who has been winning trophies at Palm

quartering targets went spinning skyward, while the right birds 
took involuntary dives into the bay. 
Some good scores were made, however. Messrs. Tilt, Fleisch- 
mann, McCahill and Wyman getting 23s and 22s. All matches 
were shot scratch, excepting the April cup match. F. L. Barnes, 
with a handicap of 6 points, won the second leg on the last- 
named cup handily.

restaurant for the season. Summer excursion tickets at half usual 
rates, or 25 cents for the round trip, are now issued by the 
Harlem Branch R. R., good only for N. Y. A. C. members and

the cup race. Two contests yet remain to be shot. 
Mr. Schorr has named this club as the place for the next con- 
test, and the date is April 15, at 3 P. M. 
As an inducement this club will give any man outside of the 
members of this club and who lives inside of the territory named, 
a $10 bill who can come and lift the cup on the above date. If 
there are any better than we have, we consider it worth the amount
