Championship of Metropolitan Clubs. 
iloNTCLAiR, N. J., April 7.—The third annual “cham¬ 
pionship of metropolitan clubs” tournament was run 
off here to-day, and for the third time the weather con¬ 
ditions were favorable to a large attendance. One 
hundred and seventy-eight contestants took part as 
against 159 last year. 
There was little or no wind stirring up to the noon 
hour; but after this the wind sprang up, so that by the 
middle of the afternoon a sixty-mile gale was blowing, 
thus spoiling what would have otherwise been a series 
of remarkably high scores. 
The match, consisting of one event only at 100 tar¬ 
gets, was shot in strings of 25. Four sets of expert 
traps were used, the first gun being fired at 9:15 A. M. 
All the even-numbered squads shot over traps Nos. 
2 and 4, while the odd-numbered squads shot over traps 
Nos. 1 and 3. When all the contestants had completed 
their scores of 50 targets, this order was reversed. 
When the last gun was fired. Geo. K. Kouwenhoven, 
the winner of last year, was again declared the cham¬ 
pion, with 94 breaks to his credit, with W, J. Sorter, 
of the North River Gun Club, a close second, with a 
score of 92. Messrs. Kennedy and Day tied for third 
prize. In the sboot-ofl at 25 targets, Kennedy broke 
23 to Day’s 19, winning third place. 
The conditions of the contest provided that each club 
enter as many men as they chose in the championship 
event, the five highest scores of each club being selected 
as the scores of the representative squad. The men of 
the winning team each to receive a gold scarf pin as 
their share of the spoils. The team scores resulted as 
below, for the three highest clubs;

Supplementary Event. 
The sixteen “high guns” in the championship event 
were entitled to enter in the supplementary event. In 
this event the first high gun was matched against the 
9th “high gun,” the second high gun pairing off with 
the 10th high gun and so on. Each round was shot at 
25 targets. • 
In the first round Kouwenhoven beat McClave 20 to 
17; Groesbeck beat Sorter 21 to 19; Piercy won over 
Brigham 23 to 19; Culver won over Owen, 19 to 16; 
Woodruff and Hodgman tied at 19, Woodruff winning 
out on the shoot-off; Hendrickson beat Schauffler 25 to 
22; Lee won over Call by default, and Damron won 
against Southworth by 19 to 18, In the second round 
the contest resulted in the following scores: 
Kouwenhoven 21, Groesbeck 23. Piercy 24, Culver 18. 
Hendrickson 20, Woodruff 17. Lee 19, Damron 19, Lee 
winning on the shoot off. 
The third round resulted as follows: Grosbeck 22, 
Piercy 18. Flendrickson 23, Lee 23, Lee winning on the 
shoot-off. 
The final round at 50 targets gave the following scores: 
Groesbeck, 20+20=40; Lee, 20+23=43. Lee thus being 
the victor and taking the prize, a handsome diamond 
scalf pin. 
With but one or two slight mishaps to the traps, 
causing a delay of but 10 or 15 minutes, everything 
worked smoothly, the contest starting quite promptly at 
9:15 A. M., the main event being completed shortly 
after 4 p. m., giving ample time and light to shoot off 
the ties and completing the supplementary event, which 
necessarily took considerable time, by daylight. 
This tournament having the largest number of en¬ 
tries of any tournament held in the east, seerris to go a 
long way to prove that it is possible to bring out a 
big field without the “money sweepstakes” feature as 
the drawing card. 
The office was in the charge of the club secretary, ably 
assisted by Mr. M. R. Baldwin, of the Orange Gun 
Club, while arrangements in the field were under the 
direction of Mr. L. W. Colquitt and Mr. A. R. Allan.
