New York Athletic Club. 
Pelham Manor, N. Y., Jan. 20.—Shooters at Travers 
Island enjoyed a most delightful afternoon to-day bang¬ 
ing away at the tiny hluerocks over the N. Y. A. C. 
traps. Two straight scores of 25 targets were made. The 
first, nimrod to make a clean run was B. M. Higginson, 
who took a leg on the monthly cup without missing a 
single target. 
In the next event A. E. Ranney came to the front 
and duplicated the performance. The shoot was the 
weekly leg on the Dey trophy, and it was a lucky thing 
for Mr. Ranney that he made a straight score, as J. E. 
F. Dey, and G. F. Pelham also had full scores of 25 
targets. They, however, made their totals with handi¬ 
caps, so the leg was awarded to the gunner who had 
not missed a bluerock. 
The other shoots also were taken by high scores. 
J. E. F. Dey won the president’s cup with a total of 24 
out of a possible 25 targets, and the same score won the 
weekly shoot for the New Year’s cup. In the latter 
event there was a shoot-off, however. In the first time 
at the traps R. E. Spotts, T. F. McMahon and W. B. 
Ogden all had 24 out of a possible 25 targets. The 
shoot-off that followed was a close and interesting one 
until the marksmen entered their final strings. Then 
Mr. Spotts pulled away from the other two and won 
easily. 
The distance handicap also fell to Spotts, shooting 
from the 21yd. mark, he breaking 20 out of 25. Fred 
Pelham took the shoot 
at 10 pairs of doubles 
with 
13 
targets. The scores

Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Ridge, N. Y., Jan. 20.—J. F. James kept up his 
excellent shooting at the Bay Ridge traps of the Crescent 
Athletic Club. To-day he won the take-home trophy with 
the excellent score of 88 out of a possible 100 targets. 
The field was the largest that has shot in the event since 
the competition was started by the New Moon gunners. 
Seventeen were on the firing line, and returned excellent 
scores. 
It was not the only event that fell to the steady aim 
of the well-known gunner. Together with his partner, 
A. Bryant, he also was the winner of the team race, with 
a total of 47 out of a possible 50 targets. The James 
family did excellent work throughout the day, as Clin¬ 
ton R. James took a leg on the Lawson trophy, with a 
full score of 25 targets. Full scores won practically all 
of the other events. G. E. Brower hung up a win on 
the Stake prize with a total of 25 targets, and the same 
total gave L. C. Hopkins the position of honor in the 
race for the monthly prize. A trophy shoot also was 
taken with a full score by E. A. Henry. 
After the regular shoot was ended several marksmen 
practiced shooting by the aid of two big calcium lights. 
The Crescent Athletic Club is planning a moonlight shoot 
for the 27th, at which calcium lights will be thrown on 
the targets. Yesterday was the first time it ever was 
tried at Bay Ridge. The lights proved to be a success. 
The shooting committee decided that the club cham¬ 
pionship will be a 20O-target event, 100 birds being 
trapped on Lincoln’s, and the other 100 on Washington’s 
Birthday. The scores:
