ing things uncomfortable for the shooters at Travers 
Island. However, the scores suffered little, many shoot¬ 
ers scoring high. Billings and Ogden each won two 
events. McMahon and Dey each took one number. The

Chicago, Ill., Dec. 9.—Weather conditions were any¬ 
thing but inviting for trapshooting, as it was dark and 
foggy, with a drizzling rain falling at frequent intervals 
during the day, consequently only four shooters toed 
the mark on the firing line. 
Goode scored a total of 60 out of 75 in the regular 
club event, leading May by one target, May having 
scored 59: Fox and Parker each broke 43. 
Fox led in the double event at 12 pairs, his score being 
17, May taking second place with 15, while Goode made 
a total of 10. 
In an extra event at 25 singles, Parker and May tied 
for first place with 17 breaks, Goode coming in second 
with 16, and Fox broke 11. 
May and Goode having tied with scores of 76 out of 
100 in the singles, they concluded to shoot a race of 50 
targets, May winning out with a score of 40 to Goode’s 38. 
May gained 7 points in the regular event; Goode gath¬ 
ered in three and Parker 1. 
These points are given members in the regular club 
event, one point for each block of five straight targets 
broken.

Dec. 10.—Weather conditions to-day were almost a 
duplicate of yesterday, but in addition, the Weather Man 
concluded he had better speed up a little, and so he 
opened up the throttle and gave us a 45-mile-an-hour 
gale, this combination netting us a total of six shooters, 
who concluded to have a few rounds at the traps. 
Thomas landed first place in the club event with a 
score of 59 to 75, Taggart taking second with 50, while 
Cook and De Young tied for third with scores of 45. 
Cook took the lead in the event at doubles, breaking 
10 out of the 12 pairs, Thomas bringing down 14, 
Meisner 13, while Taggart and Miller each scored 12. 
Thomas beat Taggart in an extra 25-target race, their 
scores being 18 and 14 respectively. 
In the club event Taggart gathered in 4 points, Thomas 
3 and Miller 1. 
They all had their troubles to “land” their blocks of 
straight fives, Thomas especially having hard luck for 
eight different times he got his four straight and the 
fifth one proved a “fooler.” 
The strong wind kept the targets bobbing, and had the 
shooters guessing but all made plenty of excellent hits 
on some of the hard ones. 
As the targets were ducking around pretty lively, the 
marksmen concluded to have a little snipe shooting; so 
the hunter passed back and forth about 20yds. in front 
of the trap, the target being thrown from the trap with¬ 
out the usual call of “pull,” and the only intimation the 
shooter had was when he heard the trap sprung, and as 
he could not see in which direction it was going until 
it passed by him, there was plenty of fun for those who 
were watching them bag the “jacks.” Results were as 
follows: Cook 18 out of 25, Meisner 16 out of 20, Thomas 
10 out of 15, De Young 13 out of 20, Taggart 4 out of 10, 
Miller 2 out of 5, the latter making sure of them by 
giving them both barrels.

Glenwood Country Club. 
Glen Head, L. I., Dec. 16.—Only one event was held 
here to-day, a 100-target match for the Ballistite and 
Empire trophy. It was a scratch event with eight en¬ 
tries. W. S. Silkworth, who seems to be the bright 
particular shooting star of the club, absorbed the trophy 
with 95 breaks, which, under existing weather con¬ 
ditions, was decidedly good shooting. Scores:

Bath Beach, N. Y., Dec. 16. — Just for novelty sake 
the six gunners at the traps to-day divided into two 
squads. Three members used pump guns and three shot 
double barrels. The results showed the doubles and 
singles tO' be equally proficient. 
C. B. Ludwig copped the take-home trophy with 23 
out of 25. Paul R. Towne euchered the special event, 
and there were three ties for the leg on the December 
cup, the best score, 90 from scratch, was made by

Mt. Vernon, N. Y., Dec. 9.—When the Siwanoy 
Country Club makes up its mind to do a thing, it’s well 
done in every detail of its construction. They decided 
to open the metropolitan shooting season with an all-day 
tournament, so it is not to be wondered at that the shoot 
to-day beat all records for Westchester county this 
season. Forty gunners turned out, ten of whom were 
first-rate; professionals. The events were smoothly run 
and the tournament well managed. 
In the amateur handicap at 25 targets, M. P. Banks 
from White Plains, N. Y., with a handicap of 8, won 
the handsome silver trophy for first place. Through a 
scorer’s error, he was awarded third prize, and it was 
not until later in the evening that the mistake was dis¬ 
covered, but in the meantime, Banks had gone hajne 
mentally and physically certain of a burden—the prize 
was bronze. This scorer’s error caused A. E. Core, of 
White Plains, and G. A. Wylie, of the home club, to 
shoot off a tie for first, which Wylie won. Readjustment 
left Wylie second and Core third. 
In the amateur scratch event, P. Osborne won with 23 
out of 25; E. A. Ward was second with one less, and 
W. Thorpe broke still one less and made third. 
In the professional 25-target match J. T. Skelly and 
H. C. Kirkwood tied at 24—Skelly won the shoot-off 
with a straight.

Beideman Gun Club. 
Beideman, Md., Dec. 9.—Midvale Gun Club brought 
over a seven-man team to-day and were cleaned up and 
put away for the winter. To be sure, it was only by 10 
targets out of 350 shot at, but we feel pretty good about 
it, because the guns from Midvale enjoy a good reputa¬ 
tion. Patrick, of Beideman, was high individual gun 
with 46 out of his 50. The high man for Midvale was 
Sibley, with 42.
