THE F. W. KING OP’HCAL CO. Cleveland, Ohio 
Boston A. C. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 1. — J. E. Lynch made the e.x- 
cellent total of 95 out of 100 to-day. Conditions were 
hard, as a high, unstable wind blew across the traps, 
lending uncertain impetus or suddenly retarding an ap¬ 
parently true quartering scaler. Lynch shot from 2^2 
and 5 handicap in the respective events of 50 aerosaucers. 
T. C. Adams w'as runner-up from scratch with 88, while 
third also went to a scratcher, J. Clark, from the vis¬ 
itors’ list, who broke 85. Eighteen clay saucer exter- 
minators were at 
the score.

over five professionals finish ten events, $5 added to high

sky background from the horizon to the zenith, and 
affording a clear view of the target on its entire flight.

Further information from E. C. Burtis, Secretary. 
White Plains Gun Club. 
The shoot of the White Plains Gun Club, held 
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 1, was certainly a red-letter 
day for attendance, there being' present thirty-two gun¬ 
ners and about twenty spectators, including eight ladies. 
The shooting began at 1 o’clock and continued till dark. 
Fred. Gilbert, of Spirit Lake, la.; G. E. Hollohan, T. H. 
Keller, Carl von Lengerke and Tom Davis w’ere the 
professionals present as guests of the club. Although 
Davis did not shoot, he lent a valuable hand in helping 
things to go smoothly. 
In the 50-bird event for the take-home prizes, the 
competition was very keen. Dr. Jlartin was first with 
a score of 47. Ed. Ward was second with 46, and Core, 
Scovel and Beckley were tied for third with scores of 
40 each. In the shoot-off Scovel won. The scores fol¬ 
low: Dr. Martin 4L Ward 46, Scovel 40, Core 40, 
Beckley 40, Allyn 39, Townsend 38, Lawrence 37, Rodgers 
37, Carpenter 36, Banks 26. 
In the 50-target event tor the visitors’ prize, 'Hyland 
won. The scores were as follows: Hyland 40, Finch 38, 
Lyons 36, Wood 35, Schefflin 31. 
The lOO-target event for the 500-target selected high 
score handicap prizes (w’hich continues throughout the 
season), had results as follows: Ward 92, Martin 90, 
Scovel 85, Beckley 81, Allyn 81, Core 76, Rodgers 75, 
Carpenter 73, Lawrence 72, Townsend 69, Banks 65. 
Fred Gilbert led the professionals with a score of 
95 out of 100, which was splendid shooting, considering 
the high wind. 
A great deal of enthusiasm and good fellowship is 
being shown by the members of this club, and the 
membership is rapidly increasing, eight new members 
being elected at the last meeting. 
Trap at Sportsman's Show. 
The indoor tournaments at Madison Square Garden 
rather brings a problem of accommodating all who want 
to shoot. Last year a thousand targets an hour were 
throwm during shooting periods, yet some waiting gun¬ 
ners were denied the privilege of shooting. A new pos¬ 
sibility looms up in the way of a triangle match between 
Boston, Philadelphia and New York gunners. Daniel 
McMahon, of the N. Y. A. C. gunners, is the originator 
and advocate of such a three-cornored shoot, with Chas. 
B. Tucker, of the Boston Athletic Association, to pick 
the flower of Boston’s trapshooters. to enter a tryout 
contest. Charles H. Newcomb, of Philadelphia, rounded 
up the victorious Quakers, who last year won the inter¬ 
city match, and R. L. Spotts, of the N. Y. A. C., cap¬ 
tained Gotham’s gunners. Boston has some crack shots 
who can make Quakers and Knickerbockers roll up high 
scores to beat the Hub’s best bluerock breakers. 
Another match proposed is one between Connecticut 
and New York State shooters. Connecticut shelters a 
lot of trapshooters with records, and a Nutmeg-Empire 
match would turn out a score that would hit the top 
notches. 
Knollwood Country Club. 
M'hite Plains, N. Y., Jan. 30.—Knollwood Country 
Club trappists had a blustery day to-day to crack targets 
for the Francis M. Wilson trophy. W. McCloy, from 
scratch busted 69 out of his 100 and was high gun on 
actvial breaks. W. H. Sykes with 10 free ones, had 76 
for the leg on trophy, 'The scores follow: W. H. Sykes 
(10) 76, W. McCloy (0) 69, F. M. Wilson (10) 65, S. B. 
IMackey (0) 59, E. T. Fox (10) 58, W, C, Teagle (0) 54.
