Siwanoy Country Club. 
Mr. Vernon, N. Y., Tan. 18.—Our very active Mr. 
L. G. Bond arranged what was termed a “versatility 
shoot” for the Siwanoy Country Club and a score of the 
members of the Gun Section, who braved the fog and 
rain, had their fill of thrills before the afternoon was 
over. The two very handsome trophies presented by this 
same active member were won by Joe Donovan and Zack 
Offutt in the order named. The regulations of the shoot 
were as follows: Shots at broken targets not counted. 
Shots out of turn called “lost bird.” No balks allowed. 
Because of the unusual styles of shooting, any man 
with a shell in his gun who was not on the line facing 
the trap was disqualified. 
The five highest men in each event received points— 
5 for the highest, for the next, etc. In case of tie in 
any one event, points were divided. In case of tie in 
the final totals, each contestant faced the traps alone for 
2H birds, club handicaps with an additional handicap of 
one to the fastest shooter. 
Event No. 1, 25 birds, club handicap: (As it was de¬ 
sired to make speed a factor, the men in the squad fin¬ 
ishing in the shortest time received an additional handi¬ 
cap of one bird.I

Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 13.—One of the most dis¬ 
agreeable days of our existence as trapshooters was 
what we experienced at the regular club shoot on Jan. 
11, and the twenty-one shooters that reached our grounds 
to open the prize series of the next four months were 
rather discouraged at the poor scores, which they re¬ 
turned. The main event. No. 3, was shot in a gale of 
wind and rain, making it almost impossible for some of 
our heavy-weights to stand on the platforms, which ac¬ 
counts for the many poor scores that were made. 
Lou Schortey was high in Class A with 39. The 
winner in Class B was J. E. Smith, who had 37 to his 
credit, and in Class C, Joe Whitley was the surprise of 
the shoot, breaking 40, a dandy showing for a man that 
has not handled a gun for the past four months, as he 
has been confined to his home with an injury to his 
leg, and who was never known to break more than 11 
out of 25. However, Joe, keep up the good work and 
v/in one of the guns, and we will all do our best to 
teach you how to use it. 
Everybody is welcome to take part in this gun con- 
test, so just come 
out and put vour name 
on 
the 
score 
sheet.
