Watertown (M ass.) Gun Club. 
The Watertown Gun Club held its first annual tourna¬ 
ment. Nov. 24, and it proved to be one of the finest and 
smoothest run tournaments ever held in this section. 
An attractive programme with a liberal prize list drew 
a large gathering of amateurs from all parts of New Eng¬ 
land, and many trade representatives, among them being 
T. A. R. Elliott, J. S. Fanning, O. R. Dickey and 
Ballou and Sibley. 
A strong cross wind made the shooting very difficult, 
and the scores of the high average winners were excel¬ 
lent under the circumstances. Winners’ scores follow: 
Five-man team match, (events 7 and 8), won by 
Aquidneck Gun Club, of Newport, R. I., score 212; 
Boston Gun Club second, 208. 
Winners of eight high average (for entire programme, 
1G0 targets) prizes: Roy first, fine metal-lined cigar box; 
Kirkwood, second, shooting coat; Griffith, McArdle, 
Hebbard, Letendre, Frank and Hughes were the other 
six winners. 
In the' special selected 100-target event, the events 
selected were Nos. 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9, which totaled 100, 
selection being unknown by shooters until finish of 
programme. 
Cash prizes to the amount of $100 were offered, three 
in four classes. Winners, 90 per cent, class, Kirkwood, 
Griffith and Roy; SO per cent, class, Hebbard, McArdle, 
Letendre; 70 per cent, class, Faye, Marden, Steele; 70 
per cent, and under class, Jordan, Tower, Darrah. 
Four prizes of $10, $5, $3, $2 were offered in a re-entry 
miss-and-out, the winners being Powell, Kirkwood, Buf¬ 
falo and Gleason, with 27, 21, 15, 15 respectively:

Ossining Gun Club. 
The second annual holiday target tournament by the 
Alert Gun Club, Phillipsburg, N. J., will be held on 
Dec. 20. There will be three 10-target, four 15-target, 
three 20-target and two 25-target events, entranoe 50 
cents to $1.25. Shooting will be done over two Leggett 
traps, and the grounds will be open for practice at 
8:30 A. M. Programme will commence promptly at 
10:30 A. M.. Grounds can be reached by trolley every 
ten minutes. Lunch will be served free to all shooters, 
and money will be divided by the percentage system. 
Suitable trap loads will be on sale at the grounds. 
Visitors can reach Phillipsburg and leave the same day 
on account of the good railroad facilities. Professionals 
will shoot for targets only, and to the three highest 
amateurs a purse of $6 will be divided as follows: First, 
$3; second, $2. and third high, $1. For further informa¬ 
tion write to Edward F. Markley, Chairman, Easton, Pa. 
Dec. 1.—There was a hoodoo working overtime on the 
f rounds of the Ossining Gun Club at its Thanksgiving 
Jay tournament. He manifested himself during the 
second event by breaking springs on the trap and throw¬ 
ing it out of business so effectually that but four out of 
ten scheduled events were shot. Event 4 was shot over 
two expert traps, as the automatic trap by that time re¬ 
fused absolutely to work. There were twenty-six shoot- 
ters on hand. Among those from a distance were B. 
Thaw, Jr., and S. R. MacDonald, two of Yale’s cham¬ 
pion intercollegiate team; H. M. Levengston, Jr., of 
Saratoga; J. B. Sanders, Albany; J. Rhoades, Fishkill 
Landing. Our old friend A. L. Burns, of Mamaroneck, 
was on hand again, with a new gun, and he accounted 
for about as many targets as any one on the grounds. 
W. H. Haight was the only trade representative on 
the grounds. 
A nice turkey lunch was served, and the eating event 
WINCHESTER 
was lots more enjoyable than the shooting. Right here 
we want to thank the shooters for their good-natured tol¬ 
erance of a bad situation. At an occasion of this sort 
it is easy to pick out those who have been around some 
and are no strangers to a balky trap. They are the 
ones who sympathize with the management, and ex¬ 
emplify the old saying, “The man worth while is the 
man with a smile, when everything goes dead wrong.” 
The man who cannot look on the bright side of things 
is no ornament at a shoot and should stay at home. 
There are plenty of the right sort. We hope our friends 
will overlook this fizzle, and we promise at our next 
attempt to have two sets of traps in perfect order on 
hand before it happens. The scores are very low, but 
when the high wind, numerous delays and fast targets 
are taken in consideration, they are O.K. About $50 
worth of prizzes were donated by members and were won 
as follows: 
The cup donated by Amos Bedell, for the champion¬ 
ship of Westchester county, was withheld for a special 
shoot, to be held later. The prizes, winners and donors 
in the merchandise event were as follows: C. G. Bland- 
ford, a serving dish, donated by E. MacDonald; II. 
Levengston, hat brush, by J. J. Jackson; A. Bedell, 
fern dish, by C. G. Blandford; A. L. Burns, coffee pot, 
E. MacDonald, W. II. Coleman, silver dish, by A. Rohr; 
E. Wagner, bottle opener, by C. Swain, Jr.; J. Rhoades, 
cream pitcher by E. Brewerton; J. Sanders, molasses 
cup, by I. T. Washburn; H. W. Bissing, 100 shells, by 
J. C. Barlow: B. Thaw.
