Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Jan. 30.—The Montclair Club paid a 
visit to Orange to-day and shot a return match with the 
Orange Club, beating them by the close margin of one 
point. Each club shot all the men they happened to 
have present, and thus the average was not very high; 
in fact, no very high scores were made during the after¬ 
noon. Messrs. Soverel and Rockwell tied for the low 
scores, with 9 targets, while 20 was the best made by 
men who usually succeed in getting 23 to 25 targets.

Jan. 23.-^Foggy weather made shooting both unpleas¬ 
ant and difficult to-day. At times the fog was so dense 
that it was almost impossible to see the targets. Seven 
events were run off with eight men in attendance. 
The second leg for the Dukes trophy was run off 
(event 3), R. Jacobus being tbe winner, he making with 
his handicap of 3, a perfect score. 
On Saturday, Jan. 80, the Montclair Club shoot a 
return match with the Orange Gun Club on the grounds 
of the latter, there being no shoot on the grounds of

Montclair, N. J., Feb. 6. —The high wind prevailing 
at times this afternoon made shooting very uncertain. 
Fortunately, this was an off day, nothing of importance 
being scheduled for the afternoon. S. C. Wheeler, one 
of the older members of the club, made his appearance 
after an absence of nearly two years, breaking 18 targets 
out of a possible 25 in the third event, while Colquitt 
twice managed to break 21 , the highest record for the 
day, in a string of 25. 
Events 4 and 5 were miss-and-outs.

Fhiladelphia, Fa., Feb. 6.—A strong lot of birds, 
aided by the wind, offered difficult shooting to the large

Columbus Gun Club, 
C'oLUMBUS, O.—The prize handicap for Saturday, Jan. 
SO, could not be shot on account of the champion bliz- 
zard and snowstorm of the season having taken pos¬ 
session of the grounds, and it was impossible to see 
25 yards in front of you. A number of boys came out, 
thinking it might let up for a few moments and give 
them a chance to shoot a few, but they were obliged to 
remain indoors and watch the backlogs burn and listen 
to a line of good stories by Jack Smith and Amor Sharp. 
The one-day midwinter tournament will be held on 
Friday, the 12th, Lincoln’s Birthday instead of Wednes¬ 
day, Feb. 10. The programme will have 150 targets— 
six 10 and six 15-bird races. Programmes have been 
mailed, and the outlook for a large attendance is very 
promising. There will be 20 high gun moneys. Entrance 
$5 for the day. This shoot is held with a view of giving 
a large number of amateurs in this vicinity an opportunity 
to shoot through a regular tournament at very little cost 
and for good or bad performance to get into the money. 
An extra high gun money will be added for all entries 
over twenty. A splendid social time is anticipated at this 
tournament. Shooting begins at 9:30 prompt. .All shell 
and powder loads on sale at the club house. 
A lively afternoon was that of Saturday, Feb. 6, at tbe 
Columbus Gun Club’s shooting lodge. A snappy after¬ 
noon’s competition was greatly enjoyed by all present, 
and some splendid scores were made. There were two 
very interesting r.ices on hand, the Wolf trophy shoot, 
Mr. W. R. Chamberlain having challenged the holder, 
Mr. H. E. Smith, for a 50-target race, according to the 
rules of tile trophy. In the first 25, Mr. Chamberlain 
broke 24, and- in the second, 23, scoring a grand total 
of 47. IVTr. Smith score’d 19 in tbe first string and 24 in 
his second, a total of 43. Chamberlain won by 4 targets. 
Mr. Smith shot a stiff race on the second string, but had 
lost too many in the first leg to catch up. 
T’.ie prize shoot handicap from 16 to 20yds., was won 
by W. R. Chamberlain with the good score of 45 from 
20yds., all done with the new gun. 
The tournament which will be known as the fourth 
annual spring tournament of the Columbus Gun Club, 
will be given on .the dates of April 8 and 9, a prelimin¬ 
ary 100-target event to be shot on the afternoon of Feb. 
7. A 200-target programme each day of the 8th and 9fh 
will be shot, to which there will be added $8 to each 
event for the two days, and $15 to the first high average; 
$10 to the second high average, and .$7.50 each to the 
third and fourth high average. Four moneys to each 
event, divided 35, 30, 20 and 15 per cent. Total added 
money, $200; $160 added, $8 to each event, and $40 for 
high guns. A complimentary dinner will be given tbe 
visiting shooters at the Chittenden Hotel.

Chamberlain, with bis new gun, certainly set the pace 
for the boys at the Saturday meet. 
Fred Lq Noir and John Taylor shot a fine clip, but 
did not do so well in the handicap shoot. 
Bolin and Wm. Fishinger tied for the second place in 
the prize handicap with 42 each. 
Billy W’einman replaced Roundy’s fine silk suspenders 
with an old greasy pair, and then some of the boys 
asked Roundy to let them see the fine suspenders he 
won, and when he opened them up. the laugh was on him. 
The boys were all glad to see Mr. A. E, Shatford out 
with us again, as he has been having sickness at home, 
and has not been well himself. 
Frank Hall was out Saturday and took a shot at .the 
flyers. 
F. C. Kingsberry has a new gun and will be soon 
hitting the high places. 
G. M. Smith is having trouble with flinches, which 
cuts down his average good shooting. 
Fishinger and W’ells are coming to the Feb. 12 tourna¬ 
ment, and Dublin, O., London, O., Newark, and all the 
surrounding cities. 
Penrose Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 30.—An exceptional incident 
was the failure of a contestant to score a straight in any 
of the events of the programrne to-day. There was a 
stiff wind and good birds, which had to do with the 
goose eggs in the scores undoubtedly.

of attainment.
