ON LONG ISLAND. 
Queens County Gun Club. 
Long Island City, L. I., April 15.— The inaugural shoot of the 
Queens County Gun Club was a most gratifying success m every 
particular. 
The grounds are situated at Hunters Point avenue, about a 
half-mile from Thirty-fourth Street Ferry. The club house was 
built on a generous scale. There was ample room within its 
walls for the shooters to move freely about, and also ample room 
on the platform for the shooters who were in competition. This 
was in pleasing contrast to the ordinary club house which is 
built on plans to accommodate a dozen shooters, and yet, m a 
tournament is required to accommodate many times that number. 
Two sets of traps were provided, a set of expert Sergeant sys- 
tem, and a Blackbird trap. The latter was installed in front 
of the club house, the former about 40yds. to one side. 
The club house is situated on a bank, bordering a large marsh. 
The traps, erected some feet above the level of the marsh, threw 
the targets nicely, but, being so high above the level of the 
ground, caused many misses on the part of those who were un- 
accustomed to such conditions, or who were not expert enough 
to be independent of conditions. There was quite a stiff wind 
blowing, which added to the difficulties of making high scores. 
The $5 gold piece for professional high average was won by 
the renowned expert, Mr. J. A. R. Elliott. 
The silver loving cup for amateur high average was won by 
Mr. George Piercy, of Jersey City. This was a beautifully 
designed cup, bearing the following inscription: 
"President's Cup, Amateur High Average, Queens County Gun 
Club, Long Island City, April 15, 1905. Won by . Presented 
by Joseph Cassidy, President Borough Queens." 
The merchandise prizes were all articles of sterling worth. They 
were artistic in design and excellent in material. Following is a 
list of the articles and their winners: 
Event No. 4, 15 targets, scratch.— First, parlor lamp, Piercy; 
second, gun case, Jap; third, shooting jacket, Hans; fourth, brass 
letter rack. Call.

The cashier's department was filled by "Johnnie Jones" (J. H. 
W. Fleming), who has acted in a like capacity at shoots about 
New York in many years past. He was ably assisted by the 
secretary of the club, Mr. Richard H. Gosman. The other 
officers. President John H. Hendrickson and Capt. James H. 
Cassidy, were active in attending to the details of the shoot, 
and in extending a welcome and promoting sociability. Messrs. 
Schneider and Schoverling were valuable assistants as honorary 
squad hustlers. A substantial lunch was, served free to the 
shooters. The utmost good fellowship prevailed. It was a most 
liberally conducted shoot in every respect. The prizes were 
valuable, the managers were patient and courteous, the events 
were run off without any hitches or annoying delaji^, and every 
one had a day of genuine enjoyment. The scores follow:

Sheepshead Bay Gon Club. 
Sheepshead Bay, L. L, April 13. — The Dede prize was a 
beveled cut-glass bowl with base. The shooting was not difficult, 
though the flight of the targets varied noticeably. Messrs. 
Schorty, Jonas and Deck did not compete for prizes. The scores, 
50 targets: Montanus (16) 43, 59; Schorty, 47; Jonas, 46; Allen 
(28) 30, 58; Schoverling, 42; Cooper (18) 37, 55; P. Suss (18), 34, 
52; Capt. Dreyer (20) 30, 50. 
Shoot-off: Montanus (4) 25, Allen (10) 25, Williamson (4) 25, 
Cooper (5) 25, P. Suss (5) 18, Capt. Dreyer (10) 25. 
Second shoot-off: Montanus (2) 25, Allen (5) 20, Williamson 
(2) 23, Cooper (3) 21, C-pt. Dreyer (3) 22. 
Red Dragen Canoe Clob. 
Philadelphia, Pa., April 15.— The final trophy shoot of the 
season was held by the trapshooters of the Red Dragon C. C. 
on the grounds at Wissinoming to-day. The weather conditions 
were all that could be desired, but for some reason most of the 
members fell below their average. There was very little wind, but 
the targets were thrown with good speed from unknown angles. 
Omar Shallcross was the winner _ of the handsome prize by 
making the best score of his shooting experience. Considering 
that his knowledge consists of two or three trials each season, 
his score was very fair. An added handicap gave the weaker 
shots encouragement, and the contest was an exciting one to the 
end. Mrs. Park did the best work, but her small handicap, owing 
to her winning the cup shoot two weeks ago, brought her out one 
point behind the winner. Her score of 22 out of each 25 was 
very good for these grounds. Will Wolstencroft showed a sad 
lack of oractice, and his second 25 was shot at with duck loads 
of No. 4 shot, which he was forced to admit were not suited for 
targets. 
The shoot was followed by a supper given by the gun club to 
its members and friends, being paid for our of the profits of the 
season's shooting, and the evening was very enjoyably spent. 
The scores follow: 
Trophy shoot, 50 targets, added handicap: Park (7) 18, 14—39; 
Mrs. Park (5) 22, 22—49; Fenimore (8) 20, 19—47; Francis (18) 
13, 12—43; Hamilton (20) 9, 13-42; Shallcross (20) 16, 14-50; 
Murray (20) 13, 9-42; W. H. W. (4) 20, 13-37.

Stanley Gon Club. 
Toronto, April 9. — The return match in the City Blue Rock 
League between the Stanley and National gun clubs was shot 
on the grounds of the latter on Saturday; fifteen men a side, 25 
targets per man, and was won by the Stanleys by 14 birds. 
Ihe day was fine, with a strong westerly wind, which made 
shooting under difficulties. The grounds of the Nationals face 
the West, and what with the strong wind and the sun in the 
eyes of the shooter, the wonder was any scores were made at all. 
After the match all retired toi the National's club room, where 
a most enjoyable time was spent. The following are the scores: 
Stanleys— McGill 19, Hampton 11, Martin 11, Fritz 18, Rock 18, 
Ingham 16, Dunk 22, Herbert 15, Morshead 17, Dey 16, Thomp-

April 16. — The Stanley Gun Club held their regular weekly shoot 
on their grounds on Saturday. The day was raw, with a stiff 
north wind, which made the birds rather shifty. The spoon event, 
which was a handicap by extra birds to shoot at, proved very 
interesting. Mr. Dunk, from scratch, and, Mr. Edkins, with 4 
extra, tied with 24. In the shoot-off, Mr. Dunk won. The follow-

Aquidnecfc Gun Club. 
Newport, R. L, April 5. — The eleventh shoot for the medal 
showed the best attendance had for three months, partially ac- 
counted for by the presence of Mr. G. M. Wheeler, who dropped 
into town on that day, and the boys turned out in consequence 
and gave him a good shoot. But fickle April did not dispense 
her best weather, for the last events were shot in a driving rain- 
storm from the northeast. Under these conditions the scores were 
fairly good, Dring, Powel and Bowler tying on 46, with handicaps 
added.

"WESTERN TRAP. 
At Watson's Park. 
(^ICAGO, April 11.— There is always a good delegation out at 
W^son's Park on Saturday and Sunday, as a different club 
hold meetings there on these days. 
Saturday was a bad day. At 12:30 the rain was coming down 
steadily, then the day was dark and windy. And old shooters 
know that there is wind at the old park if there should be any 
going about the city stiburbs. The Saturday gathering was 
notable for the many manufacturers' agents present. They were 
Vietmeyer, Stannard, Steenberg, Heer, Marshall, Lord and 
Fanning. Four of these live here, and that accounts for their 
presence. Heer and Marshall were on their way to Washington 
City, and Fanning was out making a western tour. 
Heer was not equipped with his shooting coat, and yet he 
made the only 25 straight of the day. Marshall was using a 
borrowed gun. All the scores were low on account of weather 
conditions. 
Sunday found a great change in the weather — warm, sunshine 
and but little wind. Tosetti and Kinney, local members, were 
the ones to get straight 25; many others made low scores, as the 
targets were faster than usually thrown at this park. 
Frank Riehl came out to the grounds and with him was the 
old "Tramp," Who was busy shaking hands with all the old 
shooters as well as the new ones. Max Hinsler was also present. 
He might be said to be stationary about Chicago. 
Willard won the Peters trophy; Pooler, the Hunter., Tosetti 
made high score for his own trophy. Wineberg made high to 
qualify; then Kinney won the sweep on 25 straight, with Stannard 
and Fanning on the 24 for second. The scores:

At Vicfcsburg. 
Vicksburg, Miss. — It is not long before it will be all aboard 
for Vicksburg. Messrs. Miller, Hayes, Fletcher, Pinkston and 
Bradfield, the tournament committee, report that a very active 
interest is being taken this year in trapshooting in their, part 
of the country, and that the attendance at their shoot. May 8 
and 9, will form a gathering, composed of all the best shots 
of the south. There will be $250 cash, and over $250 in other 
prizes. 
The final contest for the elegant trophy, donated by the 
Postel Milling Company, will take place first day. As no one 
man has won this beautifvil trophy more than once, all stand, 
an equal chance. 
Both the DuPont and the Laflin & Rand Powder Co. have 
oft'ered a trophy for the year's shooting. 
It is said that the Vicksburg merchants have come to the 
club's aid, have donated money and trophies, and that they hope 
to see the shoot a greater success than any of the former ones. 
Only members who belong to clubs which have affiliated with 
the new organization, the Mississippi Delta Trapshooters' League, 
can share in the prizes. The cash prizes are open to any amateur, 
and the Postel trophy to amateurs of Mississippi only. 
In Other Places. 
The State of Pennsylvania can show up more trapshooters who 
shoot in the winter months than that of any other State in the 
Union, and its summer doings will, no doubt, compare favorably 
with that of Iowa, the great center of the West. A new club 
has been organized at Allentown, Pa., with a large membership. 
The North End Gun Club, Conshohocken, Pa., has been re- 
organized, and the new officers are: President, Andrew J. 
Morgan; Vice-President, Paul Johnson; Secretary, George J. 
Dougherty; Treasurer, J. T. Ruth; Captain, Thomas Smith. 
Good grounds have been secured in the north part of the town. 
The 21st annual tournament of the Sportsmen's Association of 
the Northwest, Portland, is to be held on June 22, 23, 24. This 
association includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho, British 
Columbia, Montana, Utah and California. Owing to the re- 
duced rates for the Lewis and Clark fair, this meet will be the 
largest ever held in that part of the great West. M. Abrahams, 
of Portland, is President; and A J. Winters, same address. 
Secretary. 
The Hopkinsville, Ky., Gvm Club reports a steady growth, and 
all are enthusiastic for Mr. Elmer Shaner's arrival to pull off 
the interstate shoot. 
It would ■ seem that the live-bird match shooting had been 
delegated to the southern States. A match was shot last Mon- 
day at New Orleans between the well-known Messrs Saucier 
and O 'Trigger. Each shot at 100 pigeons, and . the race was so 
close that no decision could be made until Saucier had safely 
landed the last bird, then he was just one to the good. Another 
match will result, as one would naturally suppose, from the 
closeness of the score. O'Trigger was more on the classy order 
on difficult shots. He is well known to the Western shots as being 
game. 
The last Wednesday shoot at Bloomington, 111., was not well 
attended, • owing to bad weather, and the scores made were not 
reported. It is intended that the next shoot shall see a team 
in practice for the State, shoot to be held at Lincoln, May 23. 
The Whitaker Gun Club, Homestead, Pa., was organized two. 
weeks ago. A new trap has been received, and will be' put in 
position for the Saturday shoot. The club start out well, as the 
membership is reported to be large. 
Seventeen shooters of the North Side Gun Club, Milwaukee, 
Wis., met last Sunday. S. Meunier and F. Meixer each broke 
45 out of 50. 
Little had been heard of the Minneapolis Gun Club during the 
very cold winter months, but the warm April sunshine has 
thawed it out. At a meeting, held Wednesday, there was an 
awakening. The new officers are: President, J. C. Fanechon; 
Vice-President, L. F. Kennedy; Secretary, Dr. H. F. Narston. 
The first shoot will be held Saturday and will be followed by 
weekly shoots during the season. A big tournament, is on for 
the latter part of May. Every effort will be made to make this 
equal to, or better than the one held last year. It is reported 
that many cups will be put up, together with about $2,000 cash 
added, and that should draw shooters from all parts of the 
country. This is part of the country where champions are made.
