It appears there is trouble brewing in connection with the 
decision to abolish pigeon shooting at the Hurlingham Club. A 
large number of shooting members threaten to resign, and legal 
proceedings are contemplated. The contention of the oldest shoot- 
ing members of the club is that the recent resolution is ultra 
vires, as the club was originally formed for pigeon shooting, and 
the rules state: “The club is instituted for the purpose of pro- 
viding a ground for pigeon shooting, polo, and other sports.” 
On the other hand, the members who voted in the majority for 
the abolition of pigeon shooting say that the legality of their 
action cannot be questioned, as the resolution was passed by the 
necessary two-thirds majority according to rules. The resolution 
does not come into force until the end of the year, and by that 
time some way out of the difficulty may be discovered. — Shooting

Rochester Gun Club Tournament. 
Rochester, Ind., June 15. — The tournament held here Tuesday 
was a great success from every point of view. There were fifty- 
eight shooters present, and all went home feeling well repaid for 
their trip to this city. 
The club will have money in the treasury now, and will use 
same to improve the grounds, so that visitors at the next shoot 
will be the better entertained. 
As the tournament came to an end many expressed themselves 
as wishing that the shoot would last over another day, as they 
were so well pleased with the courteous treatment received at the 
hands of the good people of Rochester. 
The lake and the fishing it afforded was much enjoyed, and 
many of the shooters spent morning and evening on its waters 
casting for the wary bass. ^ / , 
Rochester boys were not in form, and most of the prizes went 
to the visitors. The best shooting by amateurs was that of 
Evert Brown from Rensselaer, as he made 182 out of 200. Hugh 
Clark, of Wabash, was next with 177 and Kit Shepardson, of La 
Grange, 176. 
In the professional list there were T. Bill Crosby with 193, 
Chas. Young, Springfield, O., 186, and W. D. Stannard, Chicago, 
and Rolla Heikes, of Dayton, O., 180 each. 
As a side issue, E. Tripp, E. Brown and S. Anderson had a 
match with Anderson, the winner. 
There will be a rush for Rochester, when the next tournament 
is announced. 
Castleton Gun Club. 
The appended scores were made at the monthly shoot of the 
Castleton Gun Club, at Castleton Corners, Staten Island, on 
Saturday, June 17. The day was all that could be desired for this 
sport, and although the attendance was not large, those who were 
present seemed to enjoy themselves- The next, shoot will be held 
on the Fourth of uly. Shooting will begin at 10:30 A. M. There 
will be prizes for several of the events; targets 1 cent each; 
visitors will be cordially welcomed. The ground is located at

Raleigh Gun Club. 
Raleigh, N. C., June 22.— Our club gave one of our midsummer 
barbecues to-day, and while the attendance was very good, very 
few were willing to try their hand at the trap. Every one was 
delighted with the spread, and were unanimously in favor of 
having several more before the season closed. 
The following scores were made, with Mr. Jas. I. Johnson in 
the lead with 47 out of 50, winning the Hunter Arms trophy for 
the week. He has won it more times than any other member, 
and now holds it for the best record made last season.
