Ridgefield Gun and Game Club. 
Ridgefield, Conn., April 12.—Another lusty infant 
has been added to the trapshooting fraternity, when the 
Ridgefield Gun and Game Club was launched to-day 
with a flag-raising and tournament. Two charming 
young ladies, j\liss Jessie Thorpe and Miss Bolles, 
christened the ship by breaking cartridges over her 
“bow.” 
The grounds are picturesquely located on a hill 
overlooking the country for miles around. The club 
has a splendid house and two traps, which make the 
range the equal of any in the country. Fifty-five marks¬ 
men came out to-day. The conditions were bad for 
high scores. 
Some of the best amateurs blew in from Greenwich, 
Bethel, Mt. V'ernon, Hartford, and Danbury. The 
members of the Ridgefield club showed their appreci¬ 
ation in many ways of the interest taken by the mem¬ 
bers of the Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club, of this city, 
in their shoot, about thirty members of the local club 
attending. George Hall, of the Pahquioque Gun Club, 
acted as cashier and E. H. Bailey kept the shoot go¬ 
ing outside, being assisted by some of the members 
of the Ridgefield club and the professionals. 
The feature of the day was the presentation of a 
large American flag by the Pahquioque Rod and Gun 
Club. The presentation was made by President W. S. 
Thompson, of Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club, the re¬ 
sponse being given by Dr. Mansfield, of Ridgefield club. 
Tn the first open event of 30 targets-, \V. G. Olm- 
stead won first with 27. L. Brush took second. F. F. 
Rogers made third. 
In the handicap shoot at 30 targets there were ten 
who had perfect scores and six prizes awarded. R. H. 
Bennett was first, L. Crossy second and Jarnes T. Bow¬ 
man third. 
In the open shoot for 15 targets, L. Brush was first, 
W. G. Olmstead second, and H. M. Judd third. 
The winners of high averages were L. Brush, of 
Greenwich, first; W. G. Olmstead, of this city, second; 
Keet Plancon, of this city, third. 
Jessie Thorpe shot a challenge match with E. H. 
Bailey at 25 targets and trounced him properly.

Rochester Gun Club. 
Rochester, Mich., April 15.—The Rochester Gun 
Club held its opening shoot April 13. The club has just 
been organized and has forty-seven members, and the 
grounds are located twenty-six miles from Detroit. Visit- 
mg shooters were present from Chicago, Detroit, Grand 
Rapids, Birmingham, Oxford, Orion and Pontiac. Sixty 
shooters participated, and over 5,000 rocks were thrown. 
The shooting was most excellent, considering the 
strong wind that blew the entire day. Mrs. Vogel’s 
shooting was easily the feature of the day. Some of the 
scores:

Holland Gun Club. 
Batavia, N. Y., April 12.—Evidently the boys haven’t 
got the habit yet, for only five turned out for our open¬ 
ing shoot. Brugmann was trying out a new gun. If it 
improves any on com.ing trials, we will bar him from the 
pools, for 90 per cent, on 150 targets is a little fast for 
us. \Ve tied him for the Du Pont picture, but he won 
on the shoot-off. We also tied him for the regular pro¬ 
gram trophy and had yellow streaks in the shoot-off. 
The Du Pont trophy he won with 25 straight. We’re going 
to put a spike in that new gun. Scores follow:

Hunters Club. 
Onondaga, N. Y., April 12.—Thirty-three of the 
most expert marksmen in Syracuse and Central New 
York took fire at the clay pigeons at the shoot of the 
Hunters’ Club of Onondaga on their ranges at Onon¬ 
daga Lake to-day. Five events aside from the strings 
of practice targets, held the attention of the crack shots 
during almost the entire day. Under weather condi¬ 
tions which were almost ideal, many good scores were 
registered. 
The banner event of the afternoon was the battle for 
honors in the Class B division. Dr. Sanford won the 
medal offered by the club with 42 out of 50. J. M. 
Sullivan was second with 41. 
“Germany” Matt Windhausen took the prize in the 
Du Pont trophy match with 25 straight. Windhausen 
w'as high gun for the day with 102 out of 125. 
O. E. Carpenter carried off his share of the spoils of 
war in the powdery battle over the ownership of the 
Stevens medal. “Carp.” finally won out, leaving Dan 
Lillis and George Phillip to fight it out to see which 
should claim second honors. Carpenter broke 24, and 
Lillis and Phillips each smashed 23. 
The doubles shoot was won by A1 Meagher with 
20 out of 12 pairs. The scores:

Pennsylvania State Sportsmen’s Association. 
The program of the tiventy-third annual tournament 
at clay pigeons of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen’s 
Association, which will be held at York, Mav 12-16, 
under auspices of the York City Gun Club differs in 
many respects from the programs the shooters of Penn¬ 
sylvania have been accustomed to. But the Association’s 
program committee and the tournament committee of the 
York Club are confident that the shooters of the State, 
generally speaking, will indorse the innovation by at¬ 
tending in large numbers. 
In addition to adopting the Squier money-back sys¬ 
tem, the program committee has decided to classify the 
shooters in the matter of dividing the sweepstakes. The 
sweepstake winners will be divided into four classes— 
A, B, C, and D—and the sweepstakes wdl! then, be 
divided by three moneys, 5, 3, and 2, Rose svstem, in 
each class. Each day’s program will consist of 150 targets, 
entrance 811, including targets and $1 for the Squier 
money-back purse, leaving $7 to be divided. _ Calculating 
on a basis of 100 entries, there will be $70 in the purse 
in each event. If there are twenty 88 per cent, .shooters, 
(he purse in Class A will amount of $14; if there are 
forty 80 per cent, shooters, the purse in Class B will 
.-mount to $28; if there are thirty 75 per cent, shooters, 
the purse in Class C will amount to $21, and if there are 
ten shooters under 75 per cent., the purse in Class D 
will amount to $7. 
Each contestant will be required to file a certificate of 
average with the program committee before his entry 
will be accepted.
