Manhasset Bay Yacht Club. 
Port Washington, L. I., March 6. —Herewith are the 
scores for to-day’s shoot. The weather was ideal and 
some very gooci records were made. Vice-Commodore 
Gould won a leg on the Sauer gun. Mr. W. A. Stone 
won the Hoyt weekly cup after a very close race and 
aided by a generous handicap. Mr. H. F. Clark won the 
leg on the monthly cup. 
Quite a large crowd of shooters turned out, considering 
the bad weather in the early morning, and the almost 
impossible road for automobiles. Scores: 
Hoyt weekly cup.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., March 6.—The Saturday afternoon shoot 
was interfered with very materially during the latter 
part of the afternoon by a drizzling rain. The last few 
events were shot in a heavy mist, that almost hid the 
targets. Mr. Charnberlain made a most remarkable score, 
146 out of a possible 150, and in the prize handicap he 
broke 48 out of 50 from 20yds., winning a five-pound box 
of chocolates. Mr. Kanm won second with 42 out of 50, 
and got second prize, a Lefever gun cleaner. 
The team race shoot with Cireleville for last Thursday 
was postponed on account of a large number of the 
Columbus team being away. The match will be shot 
on Thursday, March 12 or 19. Notice will be sent to all 
members of the team, ahead. 
Mr. C. A. Young, of Springfield, O., broke 118 out of 
125 targets, which was fine work. Messrs. Jones, Swick- 
ard and Clotte, were visitors at the Saturday shoot, and 
tried the blueroCks. 
A special prize race at doubles .will be shot on next 
Saturday afternoon, March 13.

Amalgamated Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., March 8.—Some time ago I promised 
you something very interesting in the shooting line, 
especially those who delight in coming out to Paterson 
for a day of recreation and a few pleasant hours at the 
traps. Well, the time is near at hand for active partici¬ 
pation at our new shooting home. Ever since the dis¬ 
astrous fire on New Year’s Day, which completely de- 
^toyed the handsome shooting house of the Jackson 
" u Club, which was located at Browertown, a 
suburb between Paterson and Little Falls, a volunteer 
committee has been actively at work looking over many 
pieces of property suitable for a shooting club, between 
Paterson and Passaic. The committee have at last been 
rewarded for their labors.- They have succeeded in secur¬ 
ing a fine piece of property at Clifton, about midway 
between the above-named places, for a term of years. 
Ihis property will make ideal shooting grounds, being 
b'Sh and dry, with plenty of room for two sets of traps. 
The elevation gives the new club the advantage 
of a clear sky background, with no possible way of 
spoiling it for many years to come. The new grounds 
are located near three steam railroads, the further one 
being about half a mile away, and is within four min- 
of the main stem of trolley cars, which passes be¬ 
tween Paterson andi Passaic, making it accessible from 
every direction. A fine macadam road leads past the 
grounds. 
While we were looking after a suitable grounds I was 
actively engaged in gathering plans and specifications 
for a new club house, and have all the required data to 
submit to the New Amalgamated Gun Club, which will 
meet for a sort of preliminary shoot and to acquaint the 
members with the location on Saturday afternoon, March 
13, at which time the committee expect to have their 
work approved and, the building ordered completed in 
the shortest possible time. 
This committee expect to erect a commodious build¬ 
ing 18 by 40 feet, with a full glass front, and every 
convenience for shooters and visitors. 
The latest traps will be installed, and every arrange¬ 
ment completed for the handling of large crowds. This 
new organization, or rather, old ones, will be known as 
the Almagamated Gun Club of Passaic County for the 
present, as it is the consolidation of the Jackson Park, 
Passaic Gun Club and several others, who have prom¬ 
ised to join hands with us, making it one of the largest 
shooting organizations in New Jersey. 
If the weather is any way favorable next Saturday, 
Clifton will witness the gathering of the largest number 
of shooters ever seen in that quiet hamlet, but they will 
be on a peaceful mission. The committee will erect a 
large tent and will make it as comfortable as possible for 
the shoot next Saturday afternoon. 
The gentlemen who have worked most assiduously for 
this new organization are Uncle Hank Beckler, formerly 
with the North Side Club, and the writer, both of whom 
are firm believers that Paterson and Passaic contains the 
nucleus for one of the largest and best shooting organi¬ 
zations in the country. Wm. Dutcher. 
Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., March 6. —Handicapped by a 
strong! northwest wind, blowing in over the traps, the 
shooters did exceptionally good work. 
Harry Overbaugh, H. Welles, C. Brown and H. L. 
Brown, trade representatives, were with us. 
Event No. 1 was for the club gold medal, and the leg 
was won by J. P. Cope, with the good 
Shinn only one target less. Scores:

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., March 6. —Members of our club were 
greeted with splendid conditions on the occasion of the 
first semi-monthly shoot for March. A good 50yds. target 
from a Leggett trap was thrown. Messrs. H. H. Stevens 
and Luther Squier were welcome visitors. Dr. Wootton, 
secretary of the Audubons, was high man with 91 out 
of 300, showing the rest of] the bunch a clean pair of 
heels. Wootton won Class A badge; Seymour won 
Class B, and Clark Class C. Scores:

Mountain View Gun Club. 
Troy, N. Y., March 6.—The bright glare of the sun 
on the snow and made trapshooting very difficult to-day. 
The first regular event was won by Milliman, he 
breaking 23 from the 19yd. mark. The second and third 
events counted for the tenth leg of the Albany cup. 
This event was very interesting; Sanders and Valentine 
both tied with 44 each, and it looked as if these gentle¬ 
men would have to shoot it off, but Ed. Roth came 
along and broke 45 and carried off the honors. 
In the fourth event Sanders, Valentine and Vroman 
broke 21 each. 
Sanders, by breaking 24 in the fifth event, had every¬ 
thing his own way, and was also high gun for the day, 
he breaking 110 out of 125. 
Arrangements are being made • for a team race with 
the Crescent Athletic Club, to be shot during the early 
part of April. If this match can be arranged, it will be 
shot on the grounds of the New Moon organization. 
The programmes for our two-day shoot, April 23-24, are 
ready and will be sent out at once. This will be a big 
shoot. Already eleven professionals have notified us 
that they will be present. 
We are going to be a candidate for the New York 
State shoot next year, 1910.

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., March 6.—The scores given herewith 
were of the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Ossining 
Gun Club. There has been some little difference of 
opinion in the club of late as to who could break the 
most targets out of 100 in four events of 25 targets each. 
To-day was the day it was decided—for the time being 
at least. 
There was a 15-target match for the Du Pont trophy 
to start with, which resulted in a tie between Messrs. 
Brandreth, VVashburn and Hubbell. It was agreed that 
the 100! target match would decide the tie. Brandreth 
won a leg on the shoot-off. 
In the 100-target match (events 3, 4, 5 and 6), which 
was for $25, Hyland, at the end of the third string, had 
a comfortable lead of 5 targets. In the fourth string he 
got a bad run in the first 10, and finished with 18 
breaks. Blandford', pulled himself together and got 23, 
which tied him with Hyland with 81 broken out of 100. 
In a shoot-off at 25 targets Blandford had broken 14 out 
of 15, at this point Hyland, who had lost several, with¬ 
drew, giving the match to Blandford.
