Springfield, Mass., Shooting Clob. 
The annual spring tournament of the Springfield Shoot¬ 
ing Club was held on their grounds at Red House 
Crossing on Patriot’s Day, April 19, with a very large 
attendance. The programme called for 200 targets, $1(3 
entrance in sweeps, $25 added money. Owing to the 
large number of entries, the shoot was late in starting. 
Also the supply of targets running low, it was neces¬ 
sary to cut out the last event, making the programme 
call for 185 targets instead of 200. 
During the day 9,515 targets were trapped and fifty- 
nine shooters took part in the different events, thirty- 
three shooting the entire programme. Targets were 
thrown from two sets of Expert traps arranged Sergeant 
system. Some little trouble was experienced with the 
extra set of traps, which, not having been used for some 
time, did not work to perfection. The weather was 
fine, but was somewhat marred by a shower during the 
afternoon, which stopped the shooting for a short time 
over the extra set of traps. A special feature of the 
shoot was a five-man team race, 50 targets per man, be¬ 
tween a team from the Berkshire Gun Club, Inc., of 
Pittsfield, Mass., and one from the local club. This 
was the first of a series of two shoots between the clubs 
for a silver cup, the second and last shoot of the series 
to take place on the grounds of the Berkshire Gun Club, 
Inc., at Pittsfield, Mass., on May 31. Conditions of the 
contest require that each member of team must shoot 
at ICO targets in all, 50 at each shoot, also that the teams 
must be divided and squads made up of members of each 
team. Events 4, 6 and 9 of regular programme com¬ 
prised the 50 targets at this shoot. The club winning 
the most points at both shoots is to have the cup. The 
local club won the first shoot over their opponents by 
six targets. Scores in team shoot follow:

The trade was well represented, there being present 
J. A. R. Elliott, “Jack” F'anning, H. S. Welles, Sim 
Glover, T. H. Keller, Jr., Gil \\ heeler, W’. B. Darton 
and H. H. Stevens. 
High professional average resulted in a tie between 
H. H. Stevens, H. S. Welles and W. B. Darton, each 
breaking 169 targets out of 185 shot. at. Mr. Stevens was 
shooting fine and bid fair to land high professional aver¬ 
age, and would have done so if it hadn’t been for the 
poor light in the last event shot, causing him to drop 
four targets in a 20-targct event, causing the tie as men¬ 
tioned above. High amateur average was won by Dr. 
C. C. Smith, of New Haven, Conn., who broke 163 
targets out of 185 shot at. 
The club is much indebted to H. H. Stevens, who 
voluntarily handled the affairs of the office so capably, 
also to D. T. Cowing, of Fladley, Mass., whose untiring 
efforts helped greatly in the running of the shoot. 
There was $75 worth of merchandise prizes awarded 
the amateurs making highest averages shooting the en¬ 
tire programme of 185 targets, as follows: First, Dr. C. 
C. Smith, of New Haven, Conn., $27 Stevens repeating 
shotgun; second, J. J. Farrell, Troy, N. Y.; third E. E. 
Reed, Manchester, N. H.; fourth, E. F. Greenwood, 
Enosburg Falls, Vt.; fifth, John B. Sanders, Albany, N. 
Y.; sixth, “Buffalo” Smith, Boston, Mass.; seventh, J. 
F. Conlin. Unionville, Conn; eighth, A. J. Crowley, Troy, 
N. Y.: ninth, E. M. Hurd, Albany, N. Y.; tenth, J. B.

field, Mass. Prize (trout rod) for longest straight run
