Colonie G. C. 
Albany, N. Y., May 30.—The Colonie Gun Club, of 
Albany, held its first tournament to-day. This was an 
amateur tournament. It was the first tournament for a 
number of the boys. The program consisted of eight 
20 and one 15-target events, a total of 175 targets. A 
stiff gale of wind prevailed all day, and it made hard 
shooting. The background is the skyline. It is the best 
ground in this respect that there is in this part of the 
State. We had the pleasure of having one professional 
with us. This was the only Sim Glover, of Du Pont 
and Ballistite fame. He had an easy walkover in pull¬ 
ing down the high average professional prize. Sim 
faithfully promised to display this prize at the coming 
State shoot. The club donated fourteen average prizes 
to those who shot through the entire program. 
We had visitors with us from Gloversville, Amster¬ 
dam, Schenectady, Glens Falls, Mechanicsville, Troy and 
Red Hook. Mr. Bain, of Red Hook, is now organizing 
the Hudson River Trapshooters’ League.

The largest and most enthusiastic crowd of shooters 
since the opening shoot, faced the traps on Saturday 
afternoon at 3 o*clock, under conditions favorable, which 
made the sport very enjoyable. By reason of these facts 
the competition in each class was close and spirited. 
The weekly trophies offered by the club were won by 
the following members: 
Scratch Class—Jamison first, Bloxton second. 
Class A—Brigman first, Holland second. 
Class B—Cox first. Huff second. 
Class C—Nelson, Jr., first; Richards, second. 
Stevens trophy—A N Nelson, Jr. 
The scores made by the respective shooters were

Ninneteen members attended the club shoot May 30, 
scores made show a great improvement over 
those which were put up in the early days of the organ- 
ization. Before the snow flies again some of the boys 
will be able to give the top-notchers a run for their 
money, and they will not ask any handicap at that. 
The trophy was won by J. A. La Boiteaux with 94 
per cent., including his handicap. Other scores in the 
trophy match, including handicaps, were: Wm. Bohnert 
89, F. Disser 89, A. Goda 93, Kaufman 89, O. Kling 13- 
A. C. Kuball 89, C. Kuhall 92, J. Nocheck 91, C. Rybolt 
92, Ruehlman 92, M. Stopper 92, J. Schneider 92, J. 
Connor 89, and C. Fox 92. The shooting of La Boiteaux 
has been very consistent, and he is rapidly approaching 
his old-time form. C. Rybolt is also getting into line 
again, and is doing some of the stunts he used to do in 
the palmy days at St. Bernard.

New York State Shoot. 
Buffalo, N. Y., May 31.'—About the only conditions 
needful to make the State shoot an unqualified success 
are fine weather and a good attendance. Those who 
attend will find about everything in the way of prizes to 
satisfy the most exacting. Special prizes are still being 
received, the latest of which is an elegant trophy, to be 
presented by that sterling sportsman and all-round fine 
gentleman James G. S. Dey, of Syracuse, to the New 
York State amateur shooter making the highest score in 
the first 100 targets of the second day’s regular program. 
Should there be ties on this, the first lOO targets of 
the third day’s regular program will decide this; and 
should there be further ties, they will be shot miss-and- 
out. 
Some of our Buffalo Audubon Club members have 
donated a fine cup, to be presented tO' the amateur shoot¬ 
er, resident of any State other than New York, this in¬ 
cluding Canada, making the highest average for the 
three days’ regular program. There will doubtless be 
several additions to the special prizes, which will be 
listed in due time. 
Programs are out and are being mailed to shooters and 
club secretaries. C. F. Lambert, Sec’y.
