One of the largest and most enthusiastic shoots held 
by the club was that which was shot on Saturday after¬ 
noon, the 30th. Several of the members of the club 
have returned from the Westy Hogan shoot, held in At¬ 
lantic City a few days ago, and they all report a most 
excellent time. It is very gratifying to the club to see 
so much interest manifested by the members of the 
club, and it is hoped that the attendance will continue 
to increase. The weekly medals offered by tne club, 
together with the weekly trophies, were won by the 
following members, shooting from the yard line shown 
below: Class-A medal, W. A. Bloxton; Class B medal, 
G. W. Bloxton; Class C medal, W. S. Jones: Class D 
medal, J. B. Cumbie; Hunter Arms trophy, H. F. Wil¬

Ducks Not a 
Substitute for 
Pigeon 
s. 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y„ Oct. 2.—The Clove Valley Rod 
and Gun Club, whose membership is made up largely of 
prominent New Yorkers, fear prosecution for shooting 
live ducks from traps, in violation of a State law which 
condemns the practice as inhuman. 
Nearly half a hundred members and guests met at the 
club house, in Dutchess county, on Saturday, to hold a 
meet, when an agent of the Society for the Prevention of 
Cruelty to Animals appeared and warned the members 
not to hold the meet. Among the New York members 
are William P. Clyde, Jr., George D. Barron, Edmund 
C. Converse. Jr.. S. S. Conover, Arthur D. Mav, and 
O. C. Grinnell, Jr. 
The Rev. Alexander G Cummings, rector of Christ 
Church, this city, is a member of the club, which had 
hatched 3500 ducks for the fall and winter sport. The 
ducks are released one at a time and a red flag waved 
to cause them to fly, whereupon members shoot at the 
birds. 
Thomas D’Arcy, a Poughkeepsie sportsman, lodged a 
complaint with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty 
to Animals, and a week ago a special agent was sent to 
Clove Valley to investigate, resulting in the latter calling 
off Saturday’s meet. 
The club has been holding these shooting events every 
year. 
Golden Gate Gun Club. 
Sept. 17.—Forty trapshooters yesterday sounded a 
smokeless powder taps on the bluerock shooting' sport 
of the Golden Gate Gun Club at the Webster street 
grounds, Alameda, for this season’s club program of 
'hoots. 
When the last score sheets were in and computations 
made up, the winning shooters for the season were an¬ 
nounced. Clarence Lancaster, of Oakland, won the 
Du Pont trophy, being high gun in six shoots—each race 
at 25 targets, distance handicap from 16 to 20yds. Lan¬ 
caster also won the club medal event and the Selby 
trophy. This match was also a series of six monthly 
shoots. For the Selby trophy the high gun for the 
season won. The club medal was a bird handicap allow¬ 
ance match—a possible 25 breaks being the highest score 
for each monthly shoot. The Peters trophy was won by 
Ed. L. Schultz, who was high gun in the “grub shoot,’’ 
a monthly 15-bird match. He broke S4 out of 90 targets. 
A. J. Webb was second, with 82, and Ed. Kerrison third 
with 81, there being three prizes awarded three high guns 
in this event. 
Weather conditions yesterday were very favorable and 
good shooting was the rule—an omen of serious portent 
for ducks in about four weeks. 
The opening shoot yesterday was the “grub” scramble. 
Capt. Webb’s team of nineteen bombardiers broke a 
total of 206 bluerocks out of 385. Capt. Lancaster’s 
warriors connected with but 178. Fred Tendner, Ed. 
Kerrison, Guy 
Clark 
and 
Ed. Schultz each 
scored 
15 
straight in this 
event.

Meadow Springs Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 30.— High scores ruled this 
afternoon at Meadow Springs. Although a freakish 
wind played havoc with the true course of the blue- 
rocks, those who fired away the afternoon made totals 
which were pleasing. In addition to the club shoot at 
25 birds, there was a 100-target chase with several side 
issue events highly interesting to the spectators and 
shooters. Williams with 93 breaks out of his 100 targets 
led the field in actual breakage, which won a silver dip¬ 
per for him. He also captured a spoon with Hillpot ire 
Class A by getting the highest possible total, 25. Keenan 
was the spoon winner in Class B, his top score of 25 
being two better than McAlonan, who was running up 
in that class. 
In a special 25-target race between W. H. Clegg and 
Fred Slear for the Shannon prize, the latter won by 23 
to 16. Slear was then challenged by Soley, but the latter 
also fell a victim to the cartoonist’s fire by 24 to IS. 
In an exhibition shoot by Marksman Steelman, the 
lat/ter broke 21 out of 25 while lying upon his back.
