A ten-man team contest, between the Smith Gun Club,- 
of Newark, and the Star Gun Club, of Elizabeth, N. J., 
resulted in a win by the former, the totals being 370 
to 346 in favor of the Smith team. Each man shot at 50 
targets, therefore the possible per team was 500. This 
contest took place on April 24.

The season of 1909 in trapshooting activities promises 
to be a banner year. The tournaments now registered 
with the Interstate .Association are in evidence in grati¬ 
fying numbers. The rules committee of the Interstate 
.Association have given the rules careful revision, and 
will be ready to report in the near future. ^ 
The two gun clubs, the Beaver Meadow and-the Hicks 
Run, contested in a five-man team event at Dubois, Pa.,

and shotgun.

A ten-man team contest between the Clearview and 
South Broad gun clubs of Philadelphia, 50 targets per 
man, resulted in favor of the Clearview team by a total

who were allowed half scores, which was the direct cause 
of the poor showing in the results. Date, April 24. 
Capt. A. M. Dalton writes us that “The Tuckahoe, 
N. A'.. Gun Club, having an ideal place to shoot, would 
like friends of the sport to know it. Such will be cor¬ 
dially welcomed if they will come up and try our all-s'.cy 
b.ackground. Come by trolley to Tuckahoe, or by N. V. 
C., Harlem Division trains, to Crestwood (the next sta¬ 
tion). See our dates in ‘Fixtures’ column.”
