WiT.MiN'GTON, April 19.—There were fifty-five shoot¬ 
ers out to-day, among them being A. B. Richardson, 
champion of Delaware several times, and H. S. Craw¬ 
ford, a new hand at the game, but judging from his 
work to-day, is likely to remain long in the novice 
class. As a member of Class D, and as partner of 
Richardson of Class A, he was a member ol the win¬ 
ning team in the E. E. du Pont trophy contest, and 
was thereby entitled to count four points toward his 
total. 
H. P. Carlon, of Class A. and Dr. A. Patterson, of 
Class B, were second, with a total of 46. J. H. Min- 
nick, of Class A, and Dr. E. Q. Bullock, of Class D, 
were tied with Walter Tomlinson, of Class A, and 
Henry W inchester, of Class B on 44. WC B. Smith, 
Jr., of Class B, and E. M. Ross, of Class C, were 
in fourth place with 38. The full scores follow:

was 
against 
good 
scores, but J. H. Minnick was high, with 93 out of 100. 
Straight scores of 25 were made by J. B. McHugh and

conditions. The scores made by the fifty shooters

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., April 19.—Twenty-three shooters 
faced a gale to-day at the Jersey City Gun Club and 
fired at nearly three thousand targets during the after¬ 
noon, and, needless to say, nearly half of them found 
a nice soft spot to rest on the marsh, and in as good 
condition as when they left the trap. Conditions for 
shooting were about as hard as we have had them all 
season, and the only one that didn’t seem to mind 
the wind was Geo. Piercy who led the field with an 
average of 80 per cent, for the day. Harry Burlington 
won the final leg on the season trophy and carried it 
home with him, so as to square himself with the family 
It was a prize worth winning, and the competition dur¬ 
ing the last three months has been spirited, and owner¬ 
ship was not decided until to-day, as Piercy was right 
after him to the last. Williams, Dr. Ittner and Sum- 
merfield tied for the leg on the Du Pont trophy, and 
in the shoot-ofY Summerfield won.

Yale—Greenwich. 
Greenwich, Conn., April 19.—The Yale gun team 
lost its match to-day with the Greenwich Field Club by 
23 birds. A high wind sweeping over the traps made 
good shooting impossible, which accounts for the low 
scores. By this victory the Greenwich Club wins the 
second leg on a cup, the first of which the Yale team 
has already won. Clarence Martin, of Greenwich, was 
high man with a total of 75, while H. B. Scott was 
high for Yale with 68. The scores:

Greensboro G. C. 
Greensboro, Ala., April 13.—Walter Huff honored 
us with a visit on the Gth, but as our dark-skin popula¬ 
tion was celebrating the anniversary of their freedom, we 
were unable to entertain Mr. Huff at our club. The 
club grounds are at the same park at which the negroes 
were gathered. The following afternoon being our regu¬ 
lar practice day, was very bad, having rained all the 
morning, and but seven shooters were out. R. M. 
Leland brought us fair weather Friday, and eight of the 
members went out to the traps with Mr. Leland. The 
scores on April 10 follow:

Herron Hill Gun Club. 
Pittsburgh, Pa.—The Herron Hill Gun Club, of 
Pittsburgh, has decided to open their club house and 
grounds to all shooters. We have created an associate 
membership, fixing the dues at $5 per year. This mem¬ 
bership includes all the privileges accorded an active 
member with the exception of voting. It has been 
decided to hold regular shoots on the first and third 
Saturdays of each month, beginning May 3, and to offer 
Sterling silver spoons as prizes to be distributed in ac¬ 
cordance with the Lewis Class system. Members may 
shoot at any time, as the grounds will be open the 
whole year; just telephone the club that you will be 
down, and you will find the traps ready. 
We invite you to be present on May 3, whether you 
are a member or not. Come and see what we have to 
offer you. 
Shooting will begin upon the arrival of the 1 o’clock 
Sewickley exptess, leaving Fifth street and Liberty 
avenue on the hour.
