Analosfkn Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., May 12.—The Analostan Gun 
Club had very good, but exceedingly windy weather for 
their shoot on May 11. Twenty-one shooters were on the 
firing line and some good scores were rolled up. Steu- 
bencr, as usual, lead with 94 out of 100; Brown was a 
close second with 93, and E. W. Ford came third with 
S3; and it was good shooting, considering the wind. It 
rvas so strong at times that it would pick a target up and 
hoist it clear of the charge, or tumble it to the ground 
unbroken. Ford also shot well in doubles, leading the 
procession with 19 scored out of 12 pairs. The scores:

Crescent Gun Club. 
V HITE House, N. J., May 11.—The second shoot for 
the championship of Hunterdon and Somersett counties 
was pulled off here to-day. Shooters from all over these 
two counties came here to carry away the two valuable 
silver cups. R. C. Stryker duplicated his performance 
of last month and w’on both cups, but not until he had 
been given a hard fight. Mr. Miller, of Peapack, tied 
him, and it was only after the shoot-off that he was able 
to claim the double championship. Enoch Gary, of 
Sunnyside, was the runner-up in the singles, which was 
at lOO birds. The doubles were at 10 pairs. The scores:

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
After a heavy down pour of rain lasting nearly all 
the morning, the sun shone brightly, and the afternoon 
of May 11 was as pretty shooting weather as we would 
wish to see. Seven members assembled at the grounds 
and enjoyed a couple of hours’ sport. J. Day was high 
gun with 95. H. R. Irwin was in fine form and made 
a good try for first, finishing only four targets behind 
Day. Hill had one of his off days, and didn’t pull him¬ 
self together until the last two events. Johnson did not 
travel the gait of a week ago by a good many targets, 
but says he’ll come back for his race with Irwin.
