New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Island, N. Y., Oct. 21.—The rainstorm was 
particularly unpleasant as to weather conditions, and no 
doubt was a deterrent in respect to attendance. Stewart 
Scott won the third leg on the October cup. The first 
leg was won by J. W. Hibbard. The second by H. E. 
Denting. Mr. F. A. Hodgman, a new-comer at the club 
shoots, but by no means a new-comer in shooting mat¬ 
ters, made some excellent scores.

West Virginia Gun Club. 
Sistersville, W. Va., Oct. 16.—On Oct. 12 the West 
V irginia Gun Club, of this city; gave an optional sweep- 
on their grounds at Paden City Park, about ten minutes’’ 
ride by trolley, which proved to be a most enjoyable 
affair. For some unaccountable reason the scores were 
away below the usual average on these grounds, but the- 
very difficult shooting did not seem to detract from the 
pleasure of the occasion. 
The programme called for 200 targets. Of these, Mr. 
John M. Speary, of Marietta, O., was high with 167; 
Ed. O. Bower, of this city, second with 163, followed 
closely by Mr. C. O. Le Compte, of Eminence, Ky., for 
third place. 
Mr. I. S. Bibbee, one of the regulars from Elba, O., 
was breaking in a new gun, which accounted for his 
scores not being up to where they usually are. F. C.. 
Percival (Cole), president of the West Virginia State 
Sportsmen’s Association, together with Chas. T. Mowry. 
were present, to represent St. Marys, and quite well did 
they perform that duty. Mr. Cole has been under the 
weather and not shooting for several 'weeks, and when, 
he arrived on our grounds, remarked that he had ven¬ 
tured to bring one hundred shells for half the programme, 
which was probably all he could stand, considering the 
state of his health; but we noticed that when these were 
exhausted, he was ready to pay double price if neces¬ 
sary for shells to finish the programme, which made us- 
glad. Wish we had a few more “Coles” and we certainly 
would make things hot in these parts. 
Mr. Mowry—well, if Charley ever missed a shoot that 
was given in this neck-o’-the-woods, we don’t know it. 
and he always lands near the top. 
Chas. Le Compte was the only trade representative 
present, and we were mighty glad to have him with us. 
He was, however, quite sick, and should have been in- 
bed, but managed to shoot through the programme. He 
promised to be feeling better next time. 
Messrs. Ed. O. Bower, Dr. E. K. Hubbard and Geo. 
G. Stocking represented the locals, and all shot through 
the programme. Dr. Hubbard says just wait until he 
gets his new’ shooting coat, and he will make somebody 
go some. 
“Bill” Woodruff kept the books. Just as the last shot 
was fired, some one remarked that we just had five 
minutes to catch the car, to which Bill replied that we 
had oceans of time, and that everybody would* be paid 
long before that time, and he made good. 
After giving a number of shooting events on our 
present grounds during the past two years, we are thor¬ 
oughly . convinced that the background is not what it 
should be, and that the shooting, especially at the 
straightaways and right-quarterers, is extremely difficult. 
In view of this fact, we are glad to announce to the 
shooting world that when they come to see us again, the 
hill will be moved away, and that we will be in a new andl 
better home. Sycamore. 
De Graff Tournament. 
De Graff. Ohio.—Oct. 19, the shooters of Central Ohio- 
met with the gun club at this place for the annual tourna¬ 
ment. The weather was good, the sun shone brightly, 
and yet the condition of wind, strong and gusty, and! 
background, did not admit of good scores being made. 
The targets ducked very promptly and quite regularly. 
The traps faced south, and against a hillside that made 
the vision faulty and thus you will note the reason for the 
low scores made. 
The club members are good fellows, some of therm 
shooting- through regardless of winning or losing. 
The attendance was not so large as the last shoot, 
owing to the threatening weather, as the rain fell all the 
day previous. 
The trade was represented by Messrs. Heikes, Trimble 
and Jones. Ileer had traveled all night, and under the 
conditions, made a good score, 191 out of 200. Bop 
Heikes made 185 and Trimble 183, Karnheim 178, Mack 
177, Fisher 175, Long 168. The scores:
