23 out of 25.

The Atlantic City, N. J., Gun Club anounces that it is 
willing to shoot telegraph matches with any New Jersey 
or Pennsylvania clubs, and will be pleased to receive 
communications from such clubs as desire more com¬ 
petition. The Atlantic City Club contemplates a good 
representation at the New Jersey State shoot.

The Fairmont team was victor in the contest for the 
team championship prize, at the shoot of the Mononga¬ 
hela Valley Sportsmen’s League, Jacksonburg, W. Va., 
April 29. Clarksburg and Jacksonburg were the other 
team contestants. In the individual contest Messrs. W. 
A. Wiedebusch and Edward H. Taylor tied on 188 out oi

Competition at the Decoration Day optional sweep- 
stake tournament of the Charleston, W. Va., Gun Club, 
May 31, will commence at 9 o’clock. All amateurs are 
eligible to shoot for prizes. There will be no purses 
except in optional sweeps, which will be divided 40, 30, 
20 and 10 per cent. Handicaps will govern the distance 
in the merchandise events. An A. H. Fox gun will be 
a prize in one of the last five events. Any one may shoot 
for targets only. Ship shells, etc., to Goshorn Hardware 
Co. The printed programme omits mention of the num¬ 
ber of targets or entrance moneys. 
The five-man team telegraph match between the North¬ 
ern Kentucky Gun Club and the Columbus, O., Gun 
Club, resulted in a total of 437 to 428 in favor of the 
Kentuckians. Each man shot at 100 targets. Columbus 
shot on May 1, while the Kentuckians shot two weeks 
previous. The former caught the stormy weather preva¬ 
lent throughout the country on May 1. 
SI 
Capt. C. G. Blandford writes that the numerous prom¬ 
ises of support received by the Ossining, N. Y., Gun 
Club in respect to its tournament, fixed to be held on 
May 12-13, guarantees that it will be the largest held on 
the club grounds since the State shoot several years ago. 
From 2 to 4 on May 8, the grounds will be open for 
practice. The club extends a cordial invitation to all. 
m. 
On May 1 the Bayswater Fishing Club, of Bayonne, 
N. J., was defeated by the Star Gun Club, on the 
grounds of the latter at Elizabeth, N. J. There were 
twelve men on a side, each shooting at 50 targets. The 
totals were 439 and 312. The Star team also defeated the 
Bayswater team at Bayonne on April 17. The first shoot 
for the Blake trophy will be held by the Star club on 
May 8.

The third of the four quarterly cups, put up for com¬ 
petition by members of the Orange, N. J., Gun Club, 
was shot for in the rain on May 1, the competition on 
that day beginning the cup series for the months of May, 
June and July. The third cup was presented by Dr, 
Charles E. Fleck. The conditions of each contest are 20 
singles and 5 pairs, with handicap allowance. Hopper 
with a handicap allowance of 3 was high with 23. Bald¬ 
win made the highest actual score, 22, from scratch.

May 1 was far from a day of sunshine and poetical 
fragrance. The weather was inclement. There was rain 
in various degrees of quantity, from drizzles to violent 
downpours, with an incidental darkly overcast sky, all 
unfavorable for either comfort or good scoring at the 
various trapshooting contests of the day. However, there 
is one consolation in the thought that the corn and rye 
crop may be benefitted by the abundance of pure water 
so bountifully provided from the clouds.

At the shoot of the Crystal Lake Gun Club, Ryland, 
Ky., April 27 and 28, Mr. F. Alkire killed straight in the 
four 10-bird events of the first day. On the second day, 
the Crystal Lake Handicap, 40 birds, handicaps 26 to 
33yds., was the main event of the tournament. Messrs. 
Frank D. Alkire and G. C. Walker tied on 37, shooting 
from 31 and 30yds. respectively. In the shoot-off for 
the trophy, 10 birds, Alkire scored 9 straight, while 
Walker missed his first and ninth birds, thus being shot 
out at the second miss.

The post-season shoot of the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ 
League, held at Wissinoming on May 1, had most un¬ 
favorable weather conditions, there being much wind and 
rain. The temperature was exceedingly raw. In Class 
A, Mr. Harry Overbaugh and Harper tied on 47 out of 
50, but in the shoot-off at 25 targets, Overbaugh scored 
22 to Harper’s 20 and won. Mr. B. Bates, of Camden, 
was victor in Class B with a score of 47. Mr. Wm. B. 
Hoover was high in Class C with 45. Of the twenty-six 
contestants, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather 
conditions, only six failed to break 80 per cent, or better.
