The ownership of the gold medal donated by the club 
was decided to-day, and same went to Smith; it was 
practically a shoot-off between Smith and Sheppard, 
and Smith won out by the fine score of 24 to 21; this 
gave Smith three wins and Sheppard two. 
Wescoat did exceptionally well, running 90 per cent, 
on a string of 250 targets, putting out two straights, 
which, by the way, were the first he ever made; he vs 
one to be at the top. 
Cook was a little off in a few of the events, but he 
will soon be back in his old form again. 
A tearn race between Cook and McGuire, of the At¬ 
lantic City Gun Club, and Young and Madara, of the 
Chelsea Boat and Gun Club, was a special feature, and 
Young made a phenomenal score of 99 out of 100, which 
won the race for his team, as Cook and McGuire were 
allowed six targets. Scores:
