The New York Athletic Club commenced its shooting 
season on Saturday of last week, on the shooting grounds 
of the club on Travers Island. The weather was unfavor¬ 
able, yet seventeen participated in the different events. 
Mr. Gus E. Greiff was first in six events and was chief 
winner in the day’s doings. Other winners were: 
Messrs. A. O. Fleishman, T. W. Hibbard, Dr. De Wolfe, 
C. E. Forster, Wm. Elias and Mr. Scott.

There is uncertainty concerning whether or not the 
Crescent Athletic Club will use its well equipped grounds 
at Bay Ridge, L. I., in the future. A handsome resi¬ 
dence has been erected at Eighty-third street and First 
avenue, adjacent to the grounds, and the unfavorable or 
favorable opinion of its owners concerning the club 
shoots will have an important bearing on this subject. 
In any event, the club shoots will be resumed there or 
elsewhere on Nov. 3. 
* 
Mr. H. C. Kirkwood, of Boston, Mass., writes to us 
as follows: “The first annual shoot of the ‘Palefaces’ 
will be held at Wellington, Mass., Friday, Dec. 7. The 
tournament will be of one day’s duration, programme 
commencing at 10 o’clock and continuing through ten 
events, or 195 targets in all. The average moneys are 
four in number, and a special 100-bird race, distance 
handicap, with fifteen merchandise and money prizes. 1 he 
shoot will be run under the direct supervision of the 
shooting committee, consisting of Dr. E. F. Gleason, 
Buffalo F. Smith and H. C. Kirkwood; and the fact that 
the grounds selected are the well-known Boston Shooting 
Association grounds, is in itfself assurance that the con¬ 
ditions will be all that can be desired.” 
R 
We are informed that Mr. Lester S. German, of Aber¬ 
deen, Md., joined the professional ranks on Oct. 1, 
being now a member of the Dupont Company’s staff of 
bright and able men. His territory will be in the vicinity 
of his home; that is, Delaware,. Maryland, Virginia, etc. 
Mr. German has been shooting with phenomenal success 
in the best and closest of competition during some years 
past, performing equally well at targets or live birds. 
The fact that he won high average by breaking 5G7 out 
of 600 targets at the recent tournament of the Cincin¬ 
nati, O., Gun Club, Sept. 25-27, at which some of the 
greatest experts participated, demonstrated that he is in 
the front rank of his profession. Some of his recent 
notable performances are as follows: Wilmington. Del., 
May 29, defeated A. B. Richardson in a match for the 
Wawaset Gun Club’s trophy, by the score of 94 to 92, 
scoring 74 out of his last 75. He won high averages at 
Indianapolis, Ind., June 19-22, 191 out of 200; Phila¬ 
delphia. July 17-19, with 340 out of 360; Betterton, Md., 
Aug. 28-31, 404 out of 445, all shot at from the 2Qyd. 
mark; also 49 out of 50 from the 16yd. mark in the team 
race, and 98 out of 100 from the same mark when he 
defeated Edward Banks in the challenge contest ‘for the 
Wawaset Gun Club's trophy; at Lynchburg, Ya., Sept. 
3-4, high average with a score of 388 out of 400; Atlantic 
City, N. J., Sept. 7-S, 346 out of 360; Annapolis, Md., 
July 27, £9 out of 100 in a team race between the Colgate 
Gun Club, of Baltimore, and the Annapolis Gun Club. 
The foregoing records show a total of 2715 targets shot at 
from distances ranging from 20 to 16yds., with a score of 
2572 breaks, or an average slightly over 94.5 per cent. 
Besides being such an accomplished marksman, Mr. 
German is possessed of the amiability and tactfulness 
which makes and holds friends.

Lebanon, Pa., Oct. 6. —The date selected by the Key¬ 
stone Gun Club, of Lebanon, Pa., for its eleventh annual

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Oct. 6. —The Montclair Gun Club 
held its annual fall tournament to-day. Notwithstanding 
the very unpleasant weather, some thirty-six marksmen 
were in attendance and took part in the several events. 
The nine-man team race for a handsome silver cup, 
between Newton arid Montclair, was won by- the Newton 
club with 12 points to spare. While Montclair was 
handicapped by the absence of three of her best men— 
Allan, Moffett and Perley—Newton would probably have 
won in any event. 
The three-man team race was hotly contested, New¬ 
ton and Montclair tying in the first round, Montclair 
finally winning out, and thus becomes the possessor of 
another handsome trophy. 
The other events for handsome silver prizes excited at 
times considerable interest, as there ,were many ties to 
be shot off. 
The trade was represented by Messrs. Elliott, Fanning, 
Butler and Welles. Elliott won the prize for profes¬ 
sionals.

North Side Red and Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J.. Nov. 6. —Six shooters took part in 
the shoot of the North Side Rod and Gun Club to-day. 
The intermittent showers would have dampened the 
ardor of the average sportsman. 
Taking the unfavorable conditions into consideration, 
the men made good scores. Dr. Charles Hunter, of the 
Riveredge Gun Club, shot well. 
The Northsiders have greatly improved the grounds 
and their club house. Those present enjoyed to the full 
the many pleasures. The club proposes to entertain a 
large number of gun lovers during the season, and will 
have targets and ammunition always on hand for that 
purpose. The membership of the organization is now 
composed of seventy-two enthusiastic sportsmen from 
various parts of this country, and it is the desire of 
those interested, to make the even hundred mark._ The 
initiation fee is to be raised in the near future. Those 
who desire to enter at the low price existing should take 
advantage of it. Meetings of the club are held on the 
first and third Tuesdays of the month at Liberty Hall, 
1 Arch street. 
This club was organized and incorporated in 1900, and 
has been successful in every particular since.
