Siwanoy Country Club. 
J[t. \'ernon, N. Y.. Jan. 2. — The Siwanoy Country 
Club, of Mt. Vernon, was favored with unusually fine 
weather on New Year’s Day. The saucer-shaped clear¬ 
ing in front of the traps gave an aspect of shooting 
under natural conditions. This was made more realistic 
by slight currents of air, which made the pigeons jump 
in a life-like manner, and incidentally was partly re¬ 
sponsible for some low scores. 
The first event on the program was the fifth com¬ 
petition for the handsome president’s trophy, handicapped 
on the Du Pont system, with a distribution of points to 
the ten high guns'. Seven shooters tied for first honors, 
each with their handicaps making a perfect score, en¬ 
titling them to 7 points apiece. The standing to date 
of the highest total points won in the president’s trophy 
is: Dr. Barnard 22, Dr. field 19.5, G. A. Wylie 19, 
W. Thorpe 17.8, Z. C. Offutt 16.5, Prof. Plill 16.5, I. 
Wintjen 16 3, G, L. Yates 16, D. G. Bond 15.5, J. P. 
Donovan 15, H. J. Smith 13.5, M. R. Guggenheim 13, 
W. M, Wylie 13, Dr. Currie 11.5, and T. H. Lawrence 
11.5. 
The second event on the program was for the cap¬ 
tain’s trophy, which is a miss-and-out competition, 10 
straight kills being neces.sary to become eligible to win 
a leg. J. P. Donovan, Geo. F. Pelham and Dr. Held 
became eligible by breaking 10 straight each, and in 
the shoot-off the leg was won by the first named. Mr. 
Donovan and Mr. Offutt are the only two members who 
have scored in this event. 
The Du Pont trophy furnished considerable interest 
in that Dr. Barnard and Dr. Currie with their handi¬ 
caps each had perfect scores. The standing to date is: 
First, Dr. Currie, with Dr. Barnard, H. J. Smith and 
L. G. Bond close seconds. The last three named each 
had the same score. 
The take-home trophies were shot for under club 
handicaps, H. J. .Smith taking first place and J. G. 
Wintjen second place. 
In the afternoon some of the members had a prac¬ 
tice shoot at the fllympic style. The scores:

Portland Gun Club. 
Portland, Me., Tan. 1.—To-day’s shoot brought out 
fourteen trappists, but none good enough to throw any 
dust on E. Randall, who exterminated 91 out of 100. 
His little brud C. missed only one more, which put him 
over Thurston for place. The scores: 
Hinds 75, G. Darton 84, Dimick 78. *Osborne 79, 
Stering 70, E. Randall 91, C. Randall 90, Dr. Hayden 82,

Danial Boone Gun Club. 
Marthasville, Mo., Jan. 1. — An interesting clay- 
bird match was shot on the grounds of the Daniel 
Boone Gun Club at this place to-day between a crowd 
of shooters from Treloar and Holstein, two little towns 
about seven or eight miles west of here, on one side, 
and an equal nvtmber of our home “boys” on the other 
side, for a dollar a man and the losing side to pay 
for all the birds. A strong irregular wind was blowing 
into tbe face of right-quartering birds, which made 
some of the shooters say things that don’t look well on 
paper, but you can imagine what some of them were, 
looking at the scores. 
The visitors were a bunch of jolly, manly fellows, 
but were up against hard luck on account of new 
grounds and wind. Both sides expect to shoot again 
soon at Treloar, Mo. 
The match to-dav was at 
50 birds for each 
man 
Holstein and Treloar.
