The championship contest to be held under the auspices 
of the New York Athletic Club, Dec. 12, on the club 
grounds at Travers Island, is open to all amateurs of 
America. Price of targets is the entrance fee. 
The October cup of the New York Athletic Club was 
won by Mr. J. W. Hibbard "with a score of 50, and by 
virtue of prior wins also the cup is now a part of his 
personal belongings. Gus E. Greiff was the only scratch 
man.

The team shoot of the Rahway, N. J., Gun Club, on 
Saturday of this week is expected to surpass any prior 
contest of the club in Importance and the general in¬ 
terest bestowed on it. The silver punch bowl is most 
thoughtfully equipped with twelve goblets, a large ladle 
and a tray, valued all told at $120. Shooting will begin 
at 12 o’clock. Messrs. Frank E. Butler and Sim Glover, 
famous in ammunition and trapshooting matters, are 
announced as referees. Among the teams entered are 
the Alerts, of Philadelphia; Columbia, of South Amboy; 
Montclair, of Montclair; Ossining, of Ossining, besides 
a team of the home club. All told, about ten teams are 
expected to compete. It is a strictly amateur event, 
besides which contestants must be members of the club 
which they represent. A large attendance of shooters 
and their friends is anticipated.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—The Analostan Gun 
Club, of Washington, D. C., has just closed another 
successful year. The membership is in a healthy con¬ 
dition, and there is a comfortable balance in the treasury. 
The last regular shoot was held on Oct. 27. Twenty-five 
shooters participated in the various events, two of which 
were merchandise affairs, of 25 targets each, and twenty 
prizes were distributed in each event. The scores were 
as follows: 
Barr ...22 25-47

The last contests for the Dupont trophy were shot, one 
being a postponed shoot and the regular shoot. There 
lias been a great deal of good-natured rivalry and much 
interest manifested during the whole season in these 
contests, and the closing performances have been nerve- 
racking. Miles Taylor, the secretary of the club, won 
the trophy, having scored five wins. Dr. Barr and 
F. N. Bauskett each had four, Uncle Billy Wagner, J. 
H. Hunter and John Coleman each had three to their 
credit; J. B. Peyton two, J. B. Brown one win and a 
tie, Phil Steubener one, C. S. Wilson one, James one, 
and Pefrola one tie. 
Starting in with two wins, he won the postponed shoot 
and also the regular shoot, tying Bauskett and Taylor, 
who each had four wins. Taylor had an off day, and 
seemed to have a slim show, but he pulled himself to¬ 
gether in the tie, and made a clean score—15 straight, 
while Barr scored 12 and Bauskett 13. The tie was shot 
off from 20yds. 
A high wind prevailed, which made the shooting rather 
difficult. The consensus of opinion among the boys 
seems to be that Uncle Billy Wagner could have run 
away with the trophy if he had been so disposed; but 
he has been in the game so long that he has much 
charity for younger shooters, and he gave way to them 
by absenting himself from the shoots during September 
and October. 
Washington shooters have also watched with interest a 
series of live-bird shoots held at Bladensburg, Md., be¬ 
tween Mr. F. N. Bauskett and Phil Steubener. The first 
match was for $100 a side and was won by Bauskett. 
The second match was for a similar amount and resulted 
in a tie. The third match was for $125 a side, and was 
won by Bauskett Both men did creditable work, espe¬ 
cially in ihe second event. The birds in this contest 
Were corking good ones, which made the match espe¬ 
cially interesting. Following are the scores:

Jackson Park Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Oct. 27. —The shooting at Jackson 
Park to-day was one of great pleasure to all who were 
fortunate enough to come out to the grounds. The air 
was very clear, but at times there was a very tricky wind, 
which seemed to get in its fine work at a time when 
most of the shooters were trying their best to make a 
good score. It seemed to have no respect for any one. 
Every one of the shooters got more or less of those 
twisting, dipping and raising targets which it seemed 
impossible to negotiate to their desire, and the con¬ 
sequence was a miss, and at times there was plenty of 
them, causing much merriment among those present 
during the afternoon. 
Dr. Hunter came over again' from' Grantwood. N. J. 
Along with him came an old friend, who made his first 
visit to the Jackson Park grounds. It was Mr. II. P. 
Fessenden. lie was certainly delighted with his outing, 
and he promised to come again. 
Several of the Jackson Park boys, members of the 
North Jersey Auto Club, came out in their autos and 
joined in the sport,of trapshooting during the afternoon, 
and there was great enjoyment among them while it 
lasted. They all promised to come again and bring more 
victims along. 
Everybody seemed to get more enjoyment out of this 
afternoon than I have seen in many a day. I think the 
sport will prove greater than in past years, or since the 
stopping of live-bird shooting, which was a great blow 
to the Jackson Park Club, as the boys certainly reveled 
in the live-bird game. 
The Jacksons will boom the sport in this section again 
this season, and expect to entertain some large gatherings 
of shooters before the trees bloom again. 
The shoot for Thanksgiving Day is giving every indi¬ 
cation of being a great success. Promises from local 
shooters and members of the Jackson club, which con¬ 
tains many good shots who are capable of holding their 
own with any of them, assure us of a large shoot. The 
North Caldwell Gun Club will visit us on that aate. 
The boys will be out again next Saturday afternoon to 
get in shape for the opening of the hunting season, and 
if any one wishes to join in they are welcome to come 
out, and we will look after them. Ammunition always 
on hand. 
Six events were on to-day’s programme, and good 
scores were recorded on the list to many of the men at 
the traps. There were three 10- and as many 15-target 
events, and while some of the shooters did not appear 
in two or three of the events, it will be seen that the 
average was on a par with that presented by the regular 
shooters among the local clubs so far in the season. Dr. 
Charles Hunter, of Edgewater. one of the members of 
the club, scored high. He broke 15 targets in the 
second 15 event, 9 each in the first and last 10. and 13 and 
12 respectively in the final 15s. Eddie Morgan also 
handed out several spectacular pieces of work. In the 
first 10 he scored every target, and in the fourth event, at 
15 targets, he scored 13. A. Radcliffe made a record of 
14 in the last 15 event. The other shooters could not 
have made records, when the fact was considered that in 
many instances they had not been at the traps in a long 
time. Scores:

B. S. A. Shoot. 
Baltimore, Md.—Blue sky and sunshine (the first in 
ten days) enticed sixteen shooters to the traps at the 
Baltimore Shooting Association grounds Thursday after¬ 
noon, Oct. 25, and keen interest was taken in the White 
Flier shoot. The preliminary events were two $1 miss- 
and-outs, with nine entries. In the first event the money 
was divided between Dupont, Capt. Malone and C. 
Malone, who scored 6 each. The second event was a 
handicap, 28 to 30yds., and the shooters moved back a 
yard after each shot. Waters and Dupont were literally 
“on the fence.’’ They were back to 35yds., the ground 
limit. After killing several birds from that distance 
Waters lost a twisting outgoer that, was inconsiderate 
enough to die just out of bounds, giving Dupont, Roder 
and Moxley the money on 12 straight. The scores: 
.Roder, 28 .222210—5

The main event was to have been at 20 white fliers, 
but it had to be reduced to 15 on account of the darkness. 
As it was, in the last two rounds the birds could hardly 
be seen, and most of the shooters wanted the race de 
dared off at the end of the twelfth round. I fail to 
understand why these shoots begin too late to be finished 
in a satisfactory way. “Many men, many. minds..’’ and 
there is always a wrangle, somebody invariably dissatis¬ 
fied. An easy solution of the matter would be to nave 
the main event first, and the miss-and-outs after that 
was finished. 
Hood Waters and Tones in the 15-bird race, made a 
straight. The first white fliers had little spirit; they 
were tame and. listless, seeming to realize their “days 
were numbered’; but occasionally a screamer darted 
from the traps and escaped. There were three money 
prizes. The first was divided between Waters and 
Jones; second money went to Clarence Malone and 
George Mordecai, and third money was divided by 
Moxley and Walker. The entrance was $10 each. The 
scores:

The shooting season at the B. S. A. closed Saturday, 
Oct. 27, with a 25-bird race between Roder and Watkins, 
which was won by Watkins, 20 to 19. These gentlemen 
are young and enthusiastic shooters, and both have done 
excellent work. 
Haze Keller shot white fliers for the first time Thurs¬ 
day afternoon and scored 9 out of 13. He should be very 
proud of his success, and with a little practice will caude 
the other shooters to look to their laurels. 
A Social Tramp. 
Raleigh Gun Club, 
The sixth annual tournament of the Raleigh Gun Club 
was held Oct. 16 and 17. The attendance was small com¬ 
pared with that of previous shoots. 
Our club was the first in this state to hold annual 
tournaments, and we have always drawn attendance from 
this state, V irginia and South Carolina. 
Many difficulties confronted the shooters both days, 
making good scores impossible—strong wind and driz¬ 
zling rain all the time, causing a disagreeable feeling and 
no disposition to shoot. 
The visiting trade representatives present were Emory 
II. Storr, Col. J. T. Anthony and Guy Ward. 
Various and sundry reasons kept the other regular 
attendants away. , 
An extra event was shot on the second day for a 
Marlin repeating rifle, which was won by Ward on 22, 
after tying Walls on 23. 
Ward won high professional average, 361 out of 400. 
Lyon won high amateur average, 346; Johnson second, 
340.
