Washington, D. C., Sept. 6. — The Analostan (^n Club held a 
very successful shoot on Labor Day, Sept. 4. The L^or Day 
shoots of this club are always very attractive to the members, ana 
have become famous. The programme on this occasion was 
ticularly attractive, and drew a large crowd^ of spectators 
shooters. The programme was commenced with two sweepstake 
events of 15 birds each, $1.30 entrance, and were followed by the 
regular events, open to the members only. Ihe h^st prize event 
was for an Ithaca 60-grade shotgun, which was won by Dr. W. L.

prize events were shot under the distance handicap systeni. All

strings of 10 birds each, and a shooter moved back to his limit 
whenever he made a straight, which was 20yds. for (Jlass A men, 
18yds. for the Class B men, and 16yds. for the Class C shooters. 
The second event was at 30 birds for a Marlin 16-gauge shotgun, 
and was won by Mr. Brown on a score of 27 out of 30. 
The last event was a merchandise affair^ at 50 birds. Dr. Barr 
also won first in this event, scoring 46 birds, and also won the 
high average for the day, for which he was awarded the champion- 
ship cup presented by Mr. Ralph Nutting. , , . ,

Phillipsborg Toornament. 
Phillipsburg, N. j. — T he first annual Labor Day tournament of 
the Alert Gun Club was a very successful affair, when measured by 
the satisfaction so generally evinced by those who participated. 
The contestants, numbering twenty-two, are individually of a 
class which cannot be excelled in true sportsmanship, and the 
Alert boys will take a keen delight in affording them a similar 
opportunity to meet again in the future. 
The day opened with heavy showers, which caused some delay 
in starting the shoot, and prevented the attendance of many ama- 
teurs who had previously signified their intention of being present. 
The trade was represented by Mr. PI. S. M'’elles, of New York 
city. 
The record in 100 targets over tins trap, set for a 50yd. target, 
was 93 breaks, and was held by Mr. Markley, of Easton, Pa. For 
more than a year this record had not been equalled, although 
numerous other amateurs q{ high ability have attempted to sur- 
pass it. At this shoot, Mr. E. F. Markley and Mr. N.^ L. Clark,' 
of Doylestown, Pa., were both succcessful in accomplishing the 
feat, the former making the very remarkable score of 97 breaks, 
and Mr. Clark following closely with the creditable score of 94 
breaks. Mr, Markley further di.splayed grand form by making a 
straight run of 54 breaks, which is in itself a new record here, 
eclipsing Mr. J. Mowed Hawkins’ record of 53 straight breaks 
made at a previous Alert tournament. The three highest amateur 
cash prizes were awarded as follows: First, Edward F. Markley; 
second, Mr. N. L. Clark, and third, Mr. J. F. Pleiss, of Easton, 
Pa., and Mr. James Ogden, of Warwick, N. Y. The programme 
totaled 180 targets. The following are the scores:

Trap at Hcnnlker. 
Henniker, N. H., Sept. 6. — A delegation of the Derryfield Gun 
Club members went to Henniker yesterday on the invitation of 
the Henniker Gun Club, and with them participated in a most 
enjoyable shoot at the traps. 
Mayor Reed had broken 55 out of 60 shot at when he ran out 
of ammunition, and from then to the completion of the pro- 
gramme was compelled to use a light load, that being the only 
thing the chib had in stock. Goss is a steady shooter, and a hard 
man to beat; but had Reed been equipped for the race, the result 
might have been different. 
Ten events were contested with nine shooters facing the traps 
W. C. Goss was high gun on the average for the day, with Mayor 
Reed just one bird behind him. The race between these two men 
was a pretty one, as both men were shooting in good form. 
Goss used Mullerite powder in his shells throughout the entire 
match, while Mayor Reed did not have enough shells of any 
one kind to shoot out the programme with. 
W. C. Goss broke all the birds in one 16-bird event, and Mayor 
Reed made a clean record in the 20-bird event. Dr. Cole, Mayor 
Reed and W. C. Goss each broke all the birds in 10-bird events. 
Messrs. French and Sanborn alternated in the position of scorer 
and referee, and gave satisfaction. 
. Refreshments were served at the shooting house. Scores follow:

Ossioing Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Sept. 6.— Owing to the many other attractions 
scheduled for Lctbor Day, but nine local shooters showed up for 
the opening shoot, while the threatening weather doubtless kept 
the out-of-town members away. The main event was for two 
prizes. The Hunter Arms Company medal first, and a pair of 
ojiera glasses, given by Schoverling, Daly & Gales, of New York 
city, second. The use of two barrels was allowed, and the match 
was at 25 targets. There were but six contestants for these prizes, 
three of whom withdrew after missing 3 targets out of 15. Hyland 
and Blandford tied with 25 straight. Flyland used his second 
barrel in snappy style twice, while Blandford broke straight with 
one barrel. On the shoot-off Blandford went straight again, using 
his second barrel on his fourth and thirteenth target only. Hy- 
land got 23, using his second barrel four times. 
The boys here are somewhat out of practice doubtless. Hubbell, 
Bedell and Coleman used pump guns. 
The preliminary sweeps were interesting, in which Coleman 
showed up strong. Blandford made a run of 47 straight, using 
one barrel, and 69 straight, using second barrel twice. 
The next prize shoot will be Saturday, Sept. 13, when there will 
be a distance handicap for a gun offered by A. Bedell and a $25 
cup, added birds, given by Edw. McDonald.
