FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Jan. 6, 1912. 
Tournament at Johnstown, Pa. 
Johnstown, Pa., Dec. 30.—On Saturday last one of the 
largest and most sucessful trapshooting events ever had 
in the neighborhood of Johnstown, Pa., was held on the 
grounds of the Johnstown Gun Club, at Kelso Station, 
under the auspices of the Johnstown Gun Club and 
Camp No. 76 of the United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania. 
The events consisted of trapshooting at bluerocks, begin¬ 
ning at 10 o’clock in the morning and continuing until 
dark, many of the events consisting of 10 or 15 birds, 
the prizes being for squad shooting for turkeys, chickens 
and ducks, appropriate to the holiday season. 
Camp 76 of the United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania is 
principally composed of ardent fishermen, but among the 
number are about twenty trapshooters, who have had a 
small range in Dale Borough, part of Johnstown, Pa. 
There is a movement on foot, however, for a consoli¬ 
dation of the trapshooters of Camp 76 of the United 
Sportsmen of Pennsylvania and the Johnstown Gun Club, 
which will possibly be consummated in the near future, 
and Johnstown will then have one of the largest and 
most enthusiastic trapshooting clubs in that part of the 
country. 
There were thirteen competitions during the early part 
of the day for the prizes above mentioned, the summary 
of the day’s shooting being as follows:

Larchmont Y. C. 
Larchmont, N. Y., Dec. 31.—Ten men took the kink 
out of the targets as they flew like one possessed of 
delirium tremens, driven and checked by the high wind 
from across Hen and Chickens Reef. The feature of the 
Larchmont shoot last Sunday was the accumulation cup, 
which was won by Stuart Scott with 42 out of 50. Scott 
also took a leg on the vice-commodore’s cup, the Alley 
trophy, a special scratch match at 15 birds, of which he 
shattered 14, and was high gun for the day. W. D. 
Hinds broke 9 in the 10-live bird scratch shoot, while 
D. F. McMahon made a full score with a 16 handicap in 
the 100-bird match. 
The last limb for the December cup brought out the 
closest competition. E. G. Unitt, R. Johnson, W. J. 
Elias and R. L. Spotts had each won one of the’ coveted 
appendages, so that a shoot-off was necessary. Unitt with 
a handicap of 5, won the tie and cup. Dr. Culver didn’t 
win anything, but he shot well, getting 93 in the 100-bird 
match. Scores:

Queens 
Club. 
Queens, L. I., Dec. 30.—Inauguration day at the 
Oueens Club was staged here to-day with a decidedly 
successful trapshoot, at which three trophies were cal¬ 
endared. Seven upper-class professionals added their 
efforts to the success of the day and shot as they usually 
do when they have to do a demonstration act. 
W. Simonson won the trophy shoot from scratch at 25 
targets with 22 dead. He also took precedence in the 
25-target handicap trophy match, getting 23. The Moon¬ 
light handicap went to W. Hyland with 24 from a 2-rock 
handicap. H. Welles was high professional, getting a 
straight 25 in the first event, 24 in the second and 23 in 
the gloaming. 
We wish the Queens club a sucessful New Year.
