Wyka^yl Country Cltkb. 
New Rochelle, March 20.—High winds created havoc 
at the weekly shoot of the VVykagyl Country Club to¬ 
day; a field_ of eight gunners faceid the traps and erijoyed 
the sport, in spite of the very unfavorable conditions. 
J. A. Henderson and E. A. Wilson did the best work, 
each winning two events. Mr. Henderson was high with 
a card of 24 in the shoot for the March cup and with 22 
for the Eckart trophy, while Mr. Wilson returned a card 
of 24 for the March average trophy, and the same score 
for the Shape trophy. W. B. Ogden and R. L. Shape 
returned full cards of 25 in the shoot for the Schoverling, 
Daly & Gales trophy, Mr. Ogden winning the shoot-off 
with a card of 23 against Mr. Shape’s 19. R. L. Shape 
won the sweepstake event with a card of 24. 
A pick-up team race wound up the day’s sport. Messrs. 
Henderson and Wilson won with a card of 23. 
The annual dinner of the Wykagyl shooters will be held 
next Saturday evening in the Wykagyl Rathskeller, and 
it will undoubtedly be a “large time.’’

St. Louis Centrtl Sharpshooters* Association. 
■ St. Louis, Mo., March 14. — Over thirty shooters of 
the St. Louis Central Sharpshooters’ Association as¬ 
sembled at their range Sunday afternoon for practice and 
medal shooting. The day was bright, but a very heavy 
wind blew across the range from the northwest, which 
at times greatly handicapped the shooters; but even 
under these conditions the scores were about the highest 
on an average made this season. Tobias M. Watkins 
made one of the high club records by making a score of 
235 in ten successive shots, but unfortunately did not 
have them all on one ticket. His ten successive shots 
were: 25 24 25 22 25 19 25 25 24—235. 
William Raessler still leads in the medal contest, with 
Tobias M. Watkins a close second. This contest is one 
in which each member has to shoot 50 tickets of 10 shots 
each on the German ring target, to be in on tbe win¬ 
ning, and the ten tickets of each member showing the 
highest score will be counted, the contest to end with 
the shooting on the last Sunday of July. 
In the practice and medal' shooting Raessler led the 
shooters with a 223 in both. The practice scores were

ing will be done on the ring target, 3 shots, 3 shots

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y.,_ March 20. —The second shoot for 
March, was held this afternoon with twenty-three mem¬ 
bers in attendance. Fair scores were the order of the 
day, a 50yd. target being thrown. Mr. H. H. Stevens 
was a welcome visitor. We expect to entertain the mem¬ 
bers of the Hamilton Gun Club on April 3, at which 
time a return match will be shot. Later in the month 
we expect to go to Toronto to shoot a long-deferred 
match with the Stanley Gun Club of that city. Scores:

W. C. WooTTON, Sec’y. 
Fred A. Stone Gun Club. 
Denver, Colo.—A good crowd was in attendance at the 
gun club and a very interesting programme was shot 
out. Tbe main feature was the Sam Mayer medal. The 
shoot for it was started by Morris Mayer breaking 5 
straight as a beginner, he not being eligible, as he was 
one of the donors of the medal. After a very pretty race, 
Mr. Howland, one of the best amateur shots of the city, 
won the medal over the best professionals, which speaks 
well for Mr. Howland as an expert at the traps. The 
medal becomes his property until next shot for, and 
each shoot bids fair to become a popular event in local 
trapdom.

The Palefaces 
Boston, Mass., March 20.—Nineteen shooters attended 
the regular Weldnesday shoot held here to-day, incident¬ 
ally braving a 50-miIe-an-hour wind, which played havoc 
with the targets, whether right or left quarterers._ 
One J. H. W. Brinley was the bright and shining star, 
his 81 per cent, looming out among the rest like a 90- 
candle power electric light at night and distancing the 
entire bunch in a clean-cut manner. 
The second shoot of the sliding distance handicap 
proved even more of a success than either of its prede¬ 
cessors, and for small shoots it looks as though this 
method fills a long-felt want in Boston trapdom. 
Mayor, Frank, Burnes, Daggett, also shot good races, 
though the former’s fourth event is something unusual 
for Gene. This was really the event that cut him out of 
high average, as all the rest were up with the bunch.

scratch. No contest for the March cup vvill take place 
on Saturday, of this week, as that day will be devoted

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., March 20.—Scores of the Ossining 
Gun Club made to-day, suffered somewhat from the 
effect of a high wind that prevailed, although D. Brand- 
reth was able to negotiate a 24 out of 25, which was 
classy work with such weather conditions. 
A team from this club will visit the New York Athletic 
Club at Travers Island on Wednesday of this week. We 
haven’t a very strong team, but hope to make a fair 
showing against the Mercury-foot boys.
