Cincinnati Gun Club. 
After being deprived of their sport for two weeks 
by the bad weather a few of the members visited the 
grounds on Dec. 14, and kept the traps busy until nearly 
dark. The conditions were perfect, but no remarkable 
scores were put up. Sam Leever, ex-Pirate, was the 
leader, with 91, followed by Butz with 86, and Schreck 
with 85. Butz shot a 90 per cent, gait in the first 50, 
but failed to keep up the pace. Dibowski is coming 
back to his mark again, and will soon be in his right 
class. There was no contest for the President’s Trophy 
owing to the small attendance. The club is arranging 
a programme at white flyers for Jan. 1st and 2d, which 
will attract many out of town shooters.

Philadelphia, 
S. S. White Gun Club. 
Dec. 20.—Displaying 
form 
and 
speed 
that easily stamps him as the best amateur trap-shooter 
of the East, Charles H. Newcomb yesterday blazed the 
way in the monthly shoot of the S. S. ‘White Gun Club 
over the Keystone traps at Holmesburg Junction, tak¬ 
ing the prize for net score on 100 targets by smashing 97. 
Starting out at a gait that tended to give the other 
White stars something of a chill, breaking straight on 
his first appearance at the traps, Newcomb dropped his 
three skimmers in the second string, although every 
bird was dusted hard. He came back, however, _ and 
thereafter ran straight through his last two strings. 
Squadded in a fast set, just to the liking of Newcomb, 
he never allowed a bird to get far from the trap until 
he was on it like a flash, and he pulverized it before it 
could get much of a start in the hazy atmosphere. 
Dr. W. H. Mathews, of Trenton, was another of 
the amateur class to show his speed, and his 94 was 
made by several particularly fine shots, and had condi¬ 
tions been as good on his last string as the others, 
the chances are that he would have made even a bet¬ 
ter score. Raymond Waters also came along at a more 
than ordinary fast clip and tore off 93, just one target 
better than Jesse Griffith, whose failure to do better 
was caused by a slight indisposition. 
Spoons are the only prizes offered monthly at the 
White shoot, but these are as highly prized -and as 
eagerly fought for as trophies of far greater value. The 
winners, aside from Newcomb, were: High net on 50 
targets, Jesse Griffith; high total on 50, W. W. Kendall, 
and high total on 75, C. H. F. Keene, who only won 
after an exciting shoot-off from A. B. Thompson and 
S. M. Freeman. As it was the last shoot of the year, 
and in many instances yearly trophies hung in the bal¬ 
ance, the shooting for the class challenge cups was 
particularly keen. Jesse Griffith was -high in Class A; 
A. B. Thompson carried off the honors in Class B; Harry 
Eyre and C. C. Abbott were tied in Class C, and F. B. 
Kelly was the real thing in Class D.

Smith Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., Dec. 20.^More than 4,000 birds were 
thrown from the traps yesterday afternoon in one of the 
largest shoots ever held’ on the Smith Gun Club grounds. 
The shoot was a combined merchandise and poultry 
event in place of the usual Christmas Day shoot. As 
more than thirty-five gunners faced the traps it was 
necessary to cut the shoot down from 100 to 80 birds, to 
be shot in 20-bird strings. Two sets of traps were con¬ 
stantly in use until darkness stopped the sport. Compe¬ 
tition was keen and several ties were scored. 
For first prize J. Baldwin, L. Colquit and L. Page 
tied with 72 breaks each out of the possible 80. In the 
draw Baldwin was awarded first, Colquit second and 
Page third. J. Reed landed fourth prize. Another tie 
had to be settled for fifth prize. W. Trowbridge won 
on a draw, giving him the prize, and P. Howard followed 
for the sixth. Both men broke 69. W. Hassinger and 
C. W. Billings both broke 68 for seventh. The seventh 
place was awarded Billings and eighth Hassinger. A 
Chandler, H. Sindle and S. Thornton tied with 67 for 
ninth and got the following places in a draw: Thorn¬ 
ton, ninth; iSindle, tenth, and Chandler, eleventh. 
Twelfth and last prize went to Dr. F. English, who 
broke a total of 66. . 
In addition to the prize shoot, practice shooting was 
indulged in with good results. Perfect scores of twenty- 
five breaks straight were made by H. Stevens and J. 
Baldwin.

will be open only Christmas afternoon for sweepstake 
and practice shooting. The following scores were made
