Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 16.—Over 2000 targets were 
trapped this afternoon under splendid weather conditions. 
Only fair scores were made, however, not one breaking 
90 per cent. Field Captain Wilson was throwing a 
swift _ target well over 50yds., and the boys were get¬ 
ting in just a little behind the speedy angles. 
President Covert distinguished himself by turning in 
high score in the scratch events, closely followed by the 
secretary. 
In the Lambert trophy event W. H. Smith showed a 
clean pair of heels to the rest of the boys with three 
wins to his credit. 
The hunting season opened to-day, and as game is said 
to be fairly plentiful, no doubt the trapshooting game 
will suffer for a time. Scores for to-day follow:

Egyptian Gun Club. 
The annual tournament of the Egyptian Gun Club was 
held at New Athens, Ill., Sept. 9 and 10. The first 
day’s program was registered with the Interstate Asso¬ 
ciation. which brought out a good attendance, but Sun¬ 
day’s program, shot under the Jack Rabbitt system, did 
not draw as many entries. This is due also to the 
weather, it being very threatening in the morning, and 
a hard rain just about noon kept away many of the local 
shooters that wanted to shoot a portion of the program. 
Bart Lewis was high amateur for the two days, with 
N. R. Huff, of East St. Louis, Ill., second. Mr. Louis 
Ebert, of St. Louis, was in charge of the office both 
days, for which the New Athens boys thank him.

Massachusetts Gunners’ Association. 
Boston, Mass., Sept. 14.— The annual meeting of the 
Massachusetts Gunners’ Association will be held on 
Thursday, Sept. 28, beginning at 2 o’clock in the after¬ 
noon, at Wellington, Mass., on the grounds of the Pale¬ 
face Shooting Association. The business meeting for 
the election of officers and the disposition of other mat¬ 
ters, will be called promptly at 7:30 o’clock in the 
evening. 
Following out the many suggestions received, the ex¬ 
ecutive committee has extended the time of the meeting 
to include the afternoon and evening. The afternoon will 
be given over to old-fashioned gunner’s fun, in getting 
acquainted, in exchanging views on questions of interest 
and all the delights of a day afield—including the finest 
opportunities for trapshooting. Bring your gun and get 
the kinks out of your eyesight before the season opens. 
There is also a range on which to target your gun. Find 
out how it patterns at given distances; it will improve 
your shooting. Twelve-gauge shells and targets for sale 
on the grounds. 
Between 6 and 7:30 a caterer will serve supper at 50 
cents a plate. The use of a big tent in addition to the 
club house insures the comfort of every one, rain or 
shine. 
Wellington, reached by the Boston & Maine Railroad, 
is four miles from Boston. Trains leave North Station 
at_l:47 2:47, 3:10: 4:10, 5:06, 5:24. 5:50, 6:14, 6:48 and 
i :51. Return at 9:04 and 10:59. Electric cars running 
near the grounds, leave Sullivan Square every fifteen 
minutes, returning on same schedule. 
Come and bring your friends. Here is a chance for a 
half day of pleasure which should appeal to all who shoot. 
Moreover, every gunner who believes in preserving re¬ 
creative gunning in this commonwealth should attend 
and give his support to the valuable work which this 
Association is doing. Wm. C. Adams, Sec’y. 
Holland Gun Club. 
Batavia, N. Y., Sept. 12.—In the special match to-day 
for the permanent ownership of the present Watts L. 
Richmond trophy (western New York amateur cham¬ 
pionship), the cup was won by Jay I). Green with 85 
out of 100, Wright 83, Conley 77, Cox 67. A strong 
northwest wind made the shooting very difficult, as is 
evident by the scores, the following well-known shooters 
scoring the regular program of 100 targets: Sim Glover 
89, R. C. Kershner S5, Geo. N. Fish 82, F. D. Kelsey 76. 
The first four only—Cox, Conley, Wright and Green— 
were eligible to compete for the cup, each having won 
one leg on the cup. 
Instead of holding to the regular conditions of some 
one winning it three times we have terminated the pres¬ 
ent cup, and Mr. Richmond and the club will put up a 
new cup under the regular conditions at our 1912 tourna¬ 
ment. The scores follow:
