shooting matches, large purses and uncertain scores, Mr. 
Thomas Simmons killed 15 pigeons to 14 by his opponent, 
Mr. David Rogers, in a match at 21 live birds, for a 
purse of $400.

ginning March 12, and ending on March 27, to be held

In a contest for the trophy emblematic of the cham¬ 
pionship of New Jersey, on the grounds of the Orange 
Gun Club, March 6, between Mr. Harry D. Wethling, 
holder, and Mr. Louis W. Colquitt, challenger, the 
holder successfully defended his title. The 50 targets 
shot at resulted in a tie on 38. The tie was shot off at 
25 targets, Wethling scoring 19 to 16 for Colquitt. The 
former is a member of the Orange Gun Club; the latter, 
of the Montclair Gun Club.

three trophies, scoring the full 26 each time in the com¬ 
petition for them. Mr. H. M. Brigham scored a straight

The leg on the club medal, an event at 25 targets, was 
won by Mr. J. P. Cope, at the shoot of the Atlantic 
City, N. J., Gun Club, March 6, with a score of 23. 
There was a strong northwest wind blowing over the 
traps, which much increased the difficulty of good 
scoring. Messrs. M. V. Lenane, of the New York 
Athletic Club, and Mr. Geo. Couwenhoven, of the Bergen 
Beach Gun Club, were visitors. Of the four professionals 
present, Mr. H. L. Brown was high in the first 100,

The contests in the series of shoots held by the 
Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League, March 6, were notable

White high ten men being notably brilliant, they scoring 
a total of 90 per cent, as a team; that is, 450 out of a 
possible 500. The points scored and the total targets 
broken by each team, show the respective standing of 
the clubs at present, as follows: S. S. White Club, 15
