PeT-iiam Manor, N. V., March 22.—C. \V. Billings 
came back to-day after a vacation from the traps, and 
shot at such a clip that if some one had pinned a license 
tag on him, he would have given a good imitation of 
a Lancia. He removed Ralph Spotts from his accus¬ 
tomed job behind high gun, getting 92 out of 100 and 
making the same net, plus 4 gratuitous scalers, for high 
"un in 100-bird handicap. Still unsatisfied, he broke 25 
from one for leg on March cup, Travers Island cup with 
(1) 24. Fred Pelham won distance handicap (17yds.) 22. 
G. J. Corbett made the Robinson trophy and R. J. Mc¬ 
Manus took Stoll cup. Scores follow:

Meadow Springs Gun Club. 
Phil.adf.lpiiia, Pa., March 22. —Charles Newcomb 
won two events to-day and took high gun honors with 62. 
The scores: 
*Non-members. 
Cincinnati Gun Club. 
There was a small attendance at the weekly shoot 
on March 23, but two or three good scores were recorded 
despite the gale which was blowing most of the after¬ 
noon, and causing the targets to duck or soar _in a 
puzzling manner. John Schreck was high with 95, his 
nearest competitor being Gambell with 88. 
In the team race at 100 targets, Gambell and 
Schreck allowed Butz and Sander a handicap of 6 
targets, and beat the latter by 18 targets. In the Du 
Pont trophy event, Schreck, Sander and Connelly made 
perfect scores including their handicaps, the former 
making high score of actual breaks with 47. Hammer- 
schmidt arrived at the grounds just in time to shoot 
his score for the trophy, breaking 44 and getting a 
total of 48. Gambell, Butz and Sander shot a match 
at 25 targets per man, Butz having a handicap of 2, and 
Sander of 5 added targets. The result was a victory 
for Gambell with a total of 47 in the two races, Butz 
and Sander making totals of 42 and 44 respectively. 
Butz and Gambell then shot three matches at 25 tar¬ 
gets each, the former having the same handicap as be¬ 
fore. The first and third matches were won by Butz 
with totals of 24 and 24 to Gambell’s 21 and 23. The 
second race went to Gambell on a straight score of 25, 
Butz getting but 20, including his handicap. As a 
wind-up for the day, Butz and Sander shot at 25, the 
former scoring 21 to the latter’s 13. At practice on 
the 20th, Butz broke 94 out of 100, a score that is sel¬ 
dom equaled in the practice work on the grounds. The 
scores: 
Four events at 25 targets each: Butz SO, Sander 78, 
Dibowski 44. 
F'ive events at 20 targets each: Gambell 88, Butz 
86, Sander 73, Schreck 95, Connelly 81.

Cleveland 
Gun Club. 
Yards. 1 2 3 4 5 6 
South Euclid, O., March 22.—The regular weekly 
shoot of the Cleveland Gun Club held to-day was the 
real thing. J. R. Blakeslee, belter known as Jack, w’as 
on the job and was the glimmering star of the day with 
144 out of 150. This is a great help tow-ard the Stevens 
championship trophy—98 out of the first 100 is going 
some; but Jack must do it, as he has a trotter behind 
him. C. E. Doolittle, who won the championship last 
year with a percentage of 96, is not well up and will 
be on the firing line before the year is ended. Dr. M. 
D. Stepp, the newlywed, was on hand for the first time 
since he and his better half got home. The change 
has had no effect on the Doctor’s eye, as will be seen 
from the scores that he put up. Capt. Geo. Freeman 
says he has found the spot and got in two 39s and 44. 
He says that is good enough for him, as he is not look¬ 
ing for 50s. Stevens laid the new gun aside and came 
back to the old one and made three points out of four 
times up. Rogers was out again and bettered his 
score of a week ago. The scores: 
Event No. 1, semi-annual trophy, 50 targets, handicap 
16yds.—Blakeslee 49. Doolittle 47, Stepp 45, Rogers 44, 
Brown 43, Dibble 43, Grant 39, Freeman 39, Stone 39,
