NEW YORK ATHLETIC CLUB. 
The arrival of Ralph Spotts and a stiff nor’- 
easter put a kibosh on things at the Travers 
Island convention to-day. Mr. Spotts put his hall 
mark on high scratch event, and that with only 
84, 'but when Spotts can take only 84 shooting 
must be some hard. Joe Donovan, one of the big 
noises from New Rochelle Yacht Club, got away 
with the Novice Event on 24 from five gratis 
scalers. He also got his eagle eye on the Tra¬ 
vers Island cup, cinching a leg thereupon by 
smearing the ambient atmosphere with 24 aero- 
saucers from a lift of five, for which he did not 
have to shoot. The only thing about Joe that is 
green is his flag, and the only thing at which he 
is a novice is whaling in the far north. R. R. 
Debacher, as usual, was there with the bust, get¬ 
ting limb on monthly cup, club cup, while F. A. 
Baker put the kibosh on the gang for accumula¬ 
tion cup, after which C. J. Stein kopped the han¬ 
dicap. Distance event was mawed by A. W. 
Church, with 24 from eighteen yards—and under 
the circumstances, this was some breakage.

Several other strings of 25

targets 
were 
shot, 
result- 
F. C. Messinger, 16; H. K. Curtis, 20-21; H. E. 
Borden, 18; W. M. Hammond, 19-25; C. G. Blandford, 
22; J. T. Hyland, 18-21; Dr. R. J. Wren, 17; G. Hudson, 
18. 
In these practice. events Hammond made the only 
straight score negotiated during the afternoon. 
The first prize shoot of the rifle division of 
the Ossining Gun Club was run off yesterday 
under ideal conditions. The weather was per¬ 
fect and general good nature seemed the com¬ 
manding officer of the day. 
In order to eliminate a multiplicity of ties, the 
standard American target was used, which ac¬ 
counts for the low percentages recorded, al¬ 
though as a matter of fact the scores, shot for 
shot, were better than ever previously recorded 
this season. 
There were two prizes for high averages, and 
three for high strings, of five shots. 
'One of the things that contributed greatly to 
the pleasure of the day was, that there were no 
delays, as two shooters faced the mark on the 
first round, and three on the second round, the 
match being run off in about one-half the time 
previously taken. 
The first prize was captured by C. G. Bland¬ 
ford, with high average of 66 per cent. Daubeney 
Brandreth second, with 63 per cent. 
The high string prize was captured by Mr-. 
Ball, with 33, after shooting off a 32 tie with
