Young topped the list with 98 per cent., the best 
shooting ever done over the grounds. Mr. Young is 
surely shooting in tiptop form. 
Mink, of the Philadelphia Independents, was down and 
made a high average. 
Hinds, of Portland, Me., drifted in and made two 24s 
just to show the boys what class of shooters they put 
out down there. 
Lloyd Lewis was also with us, and shot very well, con¬ 
sidering the fact that he was using a new gun. All the 
scores made were high.

Event No. 1 was for the gold medal offered by the 
club. A great interest is centered in this medal. The 
conditions are seven shoots. Six of the shoots have been 
run off, and it is now a tie between Smith and Sheppard 
with two wins each, with Conover, Adams and Cope with 
one 'z/in each. Next month’s shoot decides the event, and 
it looks as if there would be a shoot-off between Smith 
and Sheppard. Sheppard scored the win to-day against 
a strong field with a score of 24, dropping his eighth 
bird only. He was followed by seven shooters with 
scores of 23, and it looked as if there would be a shoot- 
off before the win was decided for the day. 
H. B. Cook shot strong all through, finishing up with 
90 per cent, for his 200. He was chased hard by Young, 
Shinn and Wescoat. 
_ Cook and Pennell have their names added to the honor 
list, both gentlemen making straights for the first time. 
We cordially invite your attention to the programme of 
our registered shoot, which we are giving on Easter 
Monday, April 12. The prizes offered are worthy of your 
careful consideration, and we expect to have at least 
seventy-five shooters with us, including the best talent 
from Philadelphia, New York and all the surrounding 
cities within a radius of two hundred miles. J. Philip 
Sousa is to be with us, and it is said he is getting as 
famous with the gun as with his famous band. 
Come down to the Atlantic City horse show, which will 
be the greatest event of the year, as it is being run off 
on Young’s famous Pier. Rain, which usually attends 
it, cannot mar the success of the show, as it is to be 
run off under cover. After the horse show don’t fail to 
stay over for the shoot, held on the famous grounds of 
the Atlantic City Gun Club, perfect backgrounds of the 
the Atlantic City Gun Club—perfect background, over 
two sets of new Ideal traps, which are the finest in 
the country. 
As a last word, don’t fail to be with us.

bocker (“39”), President; E. S. Watson, Vice-President and 
Treasurer; Watts L. Richmond, Second Vice-President; 
Chas. W. Gardiner, Secretary; D. W. Tomlinson, Jr.,

Watson won Class A point and Brumber Class B 
point. This made five Class A men with 3 points each. 
The tie was shot off in a string of 25, and a score of 112 
was turned in as follows: Gardiner 25, “39” 24, Walls 22, 
Tomlinson 21, Watson 20. This put Watson out of it, as 
there were but four prizes, Winchester .22 repeater, half 
case shells, china plate donated by Hunter Arms Co. The 
prizes in Class B were the same as in Class A, and were 
won as follows: Brumber first, C. Robson "second, 
Cheeseman third, Farwell fourth... 
Several of our members have purchased the property 
long ago used by the Dean Richmond Gun Club, and we 
will move to the new location in May. It is situated on 
Law street, near the Erie Railway, and only five min¬ 
utes’ walk from thf New York Central station. 
Brumber only began in October and showns the most 
cqnsistent improvement of the season. He was second 
high in regular programme, 42 out of 50. 
That 25 straight looked good to Gardiner in the shoot- 
off, for “39” chased him with 24, and he had to have ’em. 
“39” chose that half case of shells last fall for use at 
the Audubon Decoration Day shoot. We are glad he 
got them. 
We thank the Hunter Arms Co. for their donation to 
our trophy list. Those china plates will be appropriate 
for any man’s dining room. 
Tomlinson was flinching, as 23 out of 50 indicates. 
Stop it, Dan. 
We’re glad to have Mr. U. M. C. Kelsey with us again 
to-day. He is always welcome. 
Mr. Red W. Ginn was in evidence with the glad hand. 
Wish he had shot a few, so we could “josh” him a bit. 
We are to lose Keyes. Sorry, but as there are more $$ 
in sight we congratulate him. 
Febiger was high in the regular programme, 43 out of 
50, but he was shooting borrowed guns, and a low score 
in one event brought his total down. 
Prentice did better than usual, and Wells made a 
better score than last week. 
Cottis is new at it—first time ever—and 7 out of 20 is 
going some. 
We are planning our programme for our seventh annual 
tournament, and it will be the most attractive we have 
ever offered. Mark our date (Aug. 18) on your calendar.

Paterson, N. L, April 3. —Herewith is an account of 
the shoot held by the Passaic County Gun Club on 
their grounds at Clifton, N. J. Only four men showed 
up at the traps on account of the rain. Some--of the 
fraternity had gone trout fishing. Among those who 
were on deck was Joe Spaeth. We were glad toi see 
him. The hand bf good fellowship will always be ex¬ 
tended to our old friend Joe. He is a fine fellow and a 
shooter from Shootersville. 
We shoot every Saturday at 1:30 p. M. All white
