Siwanoy Country Club. 
Mt. Ver.non, X. Y., Feb. 22.—Unusual interest was 
displayed by a score of members of the gun section of 
the Siwanoy Country Club and several invited guests on 
Washington’s ISirthday, on account of it being the wind¬ 
up shoot for the president’s trophy, which has been in 
competition since Columbus Day, and for the Du Pont 
trophy, which has been in competition since Christmas 
Day. 
The president’s trophy, which is handicapped on the 
Du Pont system, with the distribution of points to the 
ten high guns, was won by Dr. R. Johnson Held with 
a total of 31.5. The Du Pont trophy was won by Mr. 
H. J. Smith. 
The high point winners for the season in the presi¬ 
dent’s trophy were: Dr. Held, 31.5; G. A. Wylie, 27.5; 
Prof. Hill, 26.5; W. Thorpe, 26.3; L. G. Bond, 26; Z. C. 
Offutt, 24: 1). Barnard, 23.5; M. R. Guggenheim, 22.5; 
G L. Yates, 22. 
The high points for the season in the Du Pont 
trophy were: H. J. Smith, 90; Dr. Currie, 89; G. A. 
Wylie, 88 ; G. L. Yates, 87; Dr. Barnard, 84; M. R. 
Guggenheim, 84; W Thorpe, 83, W. M. Wylie, 82. 
No one Qualified for a leg on the captain’s trophy, 
which requires ten st’-aight targets on the miss and out 
plan, although W. Thorpe broke 7 on his trial. 
First take-home trophy was won by L. G. Bond, 
who made a full score with his handicap of 5, and the 
second take-home was won by Miss Jessie Thorpe, the 
15-year-old member and the daughter of Walter Thorpe, 
who was very proud of the results of his training. Miss 
Thorpe has been shooting less than one year, and is 
exceedingly popular in the club on account of her 
aptitude with the gun and her charming personality.

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 23.—With the wind blowing 
across the traps at the rate of ninety miles an hour, 
the fourth contest for the Schortenieier trophy was shot 
off, and the man that could average 65 per cent, was do¬ 
ing some good work. The best performer was Billy 
O’Brien, who scratched out 74 per cent., with Dave 
Engle one point behind with 73 per cent. Tom Kelley 
was third with 68 per cent. 
We are going to give the game another trial on 
March 9, our next shooting date, and we would be 
pleased to have any of the out-of-town target busters 
that will be on for the garden tournament come over 
and show us how to make high scores at the Hudson 
Gun Club grounds. Everybody is welcome, so take 
the Turnpike car to the Hackensack River bridge, get 
off on the west side and walk north 
along 
the 
river 
bank to the club house. The scores:

Tri-City Team Shoot. 
The first of the series of team matches between Cin- 
nati, Dayton and Springfield was held on the former’s 
grounds at Rosedale, Ky., Feb. 22, and proved to be 
the most successful shoot that has been pulled off in 
this locality for many months. The weather conditions 
were extremely hard, a strong wind blowing quarter¬ 
ing across the traps, made it impossible to judge the 
flight of the targets with any certainty, and caused 
many of the scores to fall far below the average. By 
the conditions of the match each city could enter fifteen 
men, the ten high scores counting for the team. Spring- 
field and Dayton each brought their full quota, lacking 
one in the former team, and in addition to the fifteen 
men entered by Cincinnati, there were enough others 
entered in the events to bring the number well over 
sixty. The race was a hot one from start to finish, 
the result being a victory for Cincinnati by 17 targets 
over Springfield, and 18 targets over Dayton. At the 
close of the first round, Springfield had the best of it 
bv one target over Cincinnati, and 6 targets over Day- 
ton. In the second round, the Queen City went to the 
front, finishing with 12 targets ahead of Springfield, and 
23 ahead of the Gem City boys. The close of the third 
round put them still further in the lead, 21 ahead of 
Springfield, and 23 ahead of Dayton. In this round 
the latter team closed up the gap between them and 
Springfield, cutting the latter’s lead to 2 targets. In 
the fourth round Springfield had the best of it and 
succeeded in gettin.g within 12 targets of Cincinnati, and 
8 targets ahead of Dayton. The last round was Dayton’s, 
and the team finished one target behind Springfield, in 
third place. The high team score in any event was 
made by Cincinnati in the second round, when the team 
scored 183 out of 200; Springfield came the nearest to 
this score in the fourth event, with 177. High individual 
score for the match was a tie between F. W. Roberts, 
of Cincinnati, and J. M. Markham, of Dayton, each break¬ 
ing 92, a very remarkable showing under the con¬ 
ditions. Horace W. Heikes, of the Dajiton team, was 
second high with the fine score of 90, tying with C. A. 
Winkler, of Springfield. The fifteen Cincinnati men 
broke 1223 out of 1500 targets; Dayton, 1184, and Spring- 
field (fourteen men), 1124 out of 1400. 
Sam Leever, the “ex-Pirate,” brought down five 
Goshenites, and shot a match with six of the Cincin¬ 
nati Gun Club, finishing in the lead with 456 to 451. 
Leever was high man, tying with Roberts and Mark¬ 
ham on 92. The Cincinnati had the best of the first 
and last rounds, but the Goshen boys proved too much 
for them in the other three. 
The office was in charge of Luther J. Squier, of 
Pittsburgh, Pa. The referees and scorers were J. 
Braunagle and Len Shepard. L. Gambell kept the 
squads moving, and there were no delays from the start 
at 12:45 to the finish at 3:4^. The scores: 
Team.match, 100 targets 
per man: 
Cincinnati.
