New York A. C. 
Pelham Manor, N. Y., Nov. 2.—Regular trapshoot¬ 
ing was carded to-day, for the first time this season, at 
Travers Island. With the exception of Capt. Billings, 
most of the “great guns” were at the scores. R. L. 
Spotts was on deck with his usual enthusiasm and 
eye. He took scratch trophy with 90 out of 100, and 
distance handicap from 21yds. mark, with 22 out of 25. 
Olympic style event went to D. F. McMahon, whose 
total was 22, handicap one; the Day trophy, on 100 
rocks, also fell into his maw with 92 from a handicap 
of four. Dr. L. Culver tacked one on the Ogden mug, 
after shooting off a tie with O. Muller and E. M. Hig- 
ginson. W. B. Ogden shot a leg on the November 
cup, after tying with Dan McMahon. McMahon cup 
will have J. M. Higgins’ name engraved upon its front, 
though W. J. Simpson made a serious effort for the 
first lines on the cup, being denied the honor only 
after shooting off a tie. J. M. Jones, with a liberal 
handicap, took premier honors for the Travers Island 
trophy. 
“When We Were Twenty-one” would be an apt title 
for the day, as twenty-one gunners lent their support 
to the ammunition companies, so ably represented by 
“Gentleman Georgie” Lyon from the place in North 
Carolina where the bull was made famous. Consider¬ 
able interest was added to the day’s joys in the ap¬ 
pearance of several promising tyros, who were given 
the glad hand and encouraged in every way possible.
