There is now and then a secretary of a trapshooting 
club who apparently acts on the belief that the scores 
of his club shoot made, say, this week, are of lively 
interest to the public at any time, say, till Dec. 25; 
therefore he, accordingly, on some idle day as it may 
happen, sends them in to the sportsmen’s journals tor 
publication. We hope that such secretary, now that the 
glories of the springtime are impending, and life will 
soon be reawakening in dormant things, will make some 
pertinent resolutions. A somnolent secretary is usually 
the index of a moribund club.

The Independent Gun Club shoot at Holmesburg Junc¬ 
tion, Jan. 9, was a gratifying success, thirty-four shooters 
being in attendance. The beautiful burnt leather cushion 
donated by Mrs. W. K. Park, former secretary of the 
club, was a coveted prize. It bore an artistic picture of 
field shooting, a happy composition of gunners, dogs, 
fields and cover. It was won by Mr. Percy Pfleger, with 
a total of 92. Mr. John Fontaine was second with 91. 
Messrs. Patrick, Firth and Landis were third with 90 
each. Four class winners were rewarded with beautiful 
silver spoons, Landis taking high gun honors, Fontaine 
the honor of runner-up; Wickes, third, and George 
fourth. A strong representation of trade experts was 
present.

The Montclair, N. J., Gun Club has issued its pro¬ 
gramme for the year 1909. The regular prize events all 
fall upon the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, 
thereby leaving the remaining Saturdays free for tour¬ 
naments with other clubs, or for practice and special 
.events. Of important interest to shooters at large is the 
third, annual championship of Metropolitan clubs, fixed 
fo be held on April 7, competition being open to mem¬ 
bers of clubs in the Metropolitan district. The club 
offers three valuable gold watch fobs as prizes in this 
.contest for first, second and third winners, also five 
handsome gold pins, to be awarded to the men shooting 
ns a club representative team. The anniversary tourna¬ 
ment is fixed to be held on June 5. The club contests 
are: Thomas Dukes trophies, 25 targets; dates, second 
and fourth Saturdays, January to May, inclusive; open 
to members; to the one making the greatest number of 
wins in this event, the club trophy, a handsome gold 
scarfpin, will be awarded. The accumulation trophy 
.event is a 25-target handicap, shot on every Saturday and 
holiday during the year; prizes to be awarded at the 
annual meeting in December. The President’s medal 
goes to the resident member making the highest net 
general average during the year in the regular prize 
-events or matches of the club, shooting at not less than 
1,000 targets, to qualify. Bernard Waters. 
The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Jan. 6. —The regular weekly shoot of 
the Palefaees had nineteen shooters in the programme, 
a banner crowd for this time of the year, and the shoot 
proved itself to be one of those kinds that bring forth 
all of the enjoyment there is to the trap game. 
Our hard-working secretary was the man of the hour, 
and from start to finish shot in a most consistent form, 
never really having a bad event, and considering the 
conditions, his 89 per cent, for high was easily as good 
as a 94 or 95 on a day with anything like decent weather. 
Haze Keller took second average, his last 50 netting 
him 46, which was tie for high 50 of the afternoon, 
helping out in the best of shape. 
One Bob Burnes again made himself evident, and 
would have cleaned the bunch but for the 20-target 
events, which were his .undoing, 12 of his 16 misses 
-coming in these, and the rest in his four 15-target events. 
In the first leg on the Clark trophy, Belmont, a new¬ 
comer, led with a clean slate, his handicap of 12 being 
just sufficient to make up his losses. Haze Keller came 
in a good second; Charles, third, with the donor in 
fourth place. Scores:

The New Year’s shoot of the Palefaces tempted forty- 
two shooters to try their skill with the elusive inanimate 
target, and a more enjoyable shoot could not be im¬ 
agined. It fully came up to all predictions. 
Like its predecessors, it was a shoot to suit all classes 
of shooters, the twenty cups which the Palefaces donated 
being distributed for high averages, a special 25-target 
e\ ent for Paleface members, and a handicap race of 100 
targets. 
With a fair equalizing on the handicapping, the vari¬ 
ous contests proved unusually interesting, as the results 
showed no runaway races and every class had a look in. 
The race for high average evolved itself early to be 
among the amateurs. Griff, however, getting an early 
lead and never again relinquishing it, even though 
pressed pretty hard at times. 
McArdle, one of little Rhody’s veterans, came within 
2 of a tie, and also bad the honor of being one of three 
to make the only straight of the day. 
Fred J. Daggett and R. N. Burnes, both of the home 
aggregation, lent a hand in the averages, the former third 
high and the latter fourth, one target separating the 
two—a small amount, but just enough. 
In the professional race, Stevens and Brinley had the 
call, tying up on the last event, necessitating a shoot- 
off for possession of the silver cup. In the shoot-off it 
proved to be an Alphonse-and-Gaston affair, each outdoing 
liis opponent, with the result that Hank won on 20 
breaks to Brinley’s 17. 
The 100-target race had a banner entry list, and here 
rgain Griff showed a clean pair of heels to the bunch. 
Though handicapped heavily in most cases, his good 
work could not be denied, and a very pretty silver cup 
was the reward. 
Franklin, Kanop and Burnes tied in for the next chree 
cups, while Daggett, McArdle and Nelson came in tied 
for 56th and 57th. Clark, Powel, Frank, Freeman and 
Todd annexed the remainder of the twelve cups. 
The last 25-target event constituted a special match 
for I’alefaces only, Daggett and Dinnin tying with a 
possible, and Hassam and Powers tying for third. On 
both shoot-offs the former won. All in all, only three 
shooters in the entire number but what shot for these 
prizes, and the fortunate winners should feel highly 
pleased to win those trophies from a bunch of fast ones 
like there were entered.

Crescent—New York Athletic Club. 
Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 9.—The team contest between 
the home club and the New York Athletic Club was the 
interesting and special event of the day. The home team 
proved to be much the stronger on its own ground, 
winning by a total of 847 to 819 out of a possible 1,000. 
Thus the first leg of the home and home contests goes 
to the Crescents. 
The conditions were ten men to a team, 100 targets 
per man, to be shot in strings of 25. The refereeing 
was done by Messrs. J. H. Hendrickson, of the Bergen 
Beach Gun Club, and the professional, J. S. Fanning, 
both experts in all the details of the sport, theoretical 
and practical. 
The weather conditions were not of the best for g:ood 
scoring. There was a heavy sky and a dull light. The 
contestants shot in squads of five, three of the visitors 
and two of the home team shooting in the first and third 
squads, while in the second and fourth squads, three of 
the home team and two of the visitors shot. 
The background was not to the liking of the visitors, 
it being difficult to see the targets distinctly at certain 
Engles. 
The high individual scores of each team were alike, 92, 
made by Messrs. H. M. Brigham, of the Crescents, and 
F. M. Hodgman, of the visitors. Of the Crescents, 
Messrs. A. R. Allan and F. W. Moffett scored 91 each, 
Owing to lack of time, only two of the regular weekly 
events were shot, the January cup and the team race. 
In the former, Messrs. A. E. Hendrickson, L. C. Hop¬ 
kins, W. W. Marshall and D. T. Leahy, tied on 25. 
The two-man team contest resulted in a leg for Messrs. 
Hopkins and Stiner. 
The return match will be shot at Travers Island on 
Jan. 16. Scores:

Mountain View Gun Club. 
Troy, N. Y., Jan. 9.—The weather was very cold here 
to-day and was the cause of the small attendance. De¬ 
spite these conditions, twelve of the boys faced the 
traps, and while good scores were not in evidence, a good 
afternoon’s sport was enjoyed. 
The second leg for the Albany cup was shot for to¬ 
day, and Senders was the winner, he shooting from the 
20yd. mark and breaking 38 out of 50. 
Sanders was also high gun for the day, 80 out of lOO. 
The club has decided to hold a tournament on Feb. 22, 
Washington’s Birthday. The programme will be ar¬ 
ranged later on, and application will be made with the 
Interstate Association to have tournaments registered. 
The following are to-day’s scores:
