Representatives of several of the leading gun 
clubs of the Twin Cities met last night to dis¬ 
cuss plans for the proposed Twin Cities Trap 
Shooting Association. Emil Novotny of the 
Hazel Park and M. W. Thompson of the Rod 
and Gun clubs, both of St. Paul, and Dr. Chap¬ 
man of the Rod and Gun and V. Austin of the 
Athletic Club of Minneapolis were among those 
present. The Minneapolis clubs decided to enter 
the new organization, but the St. Paul men, al¬ 
though expressing themselves favorably to the 
proposed association, voted to postpone action 
until their annual meetings, which will be held in 
the near future. 
LOCK HAVEN GUN CLUB. 
Lock Haven, Pa., Jan. 4, 1915. 
With the ringing down of the curtain of 1914, 
the Lock Haven Gun Club closed one of the 
most successful years in the history of the Club, 
and the desire of the members is, that they could 
shake the hand of all their friends, and wish 
them a happy and prosperous New Year. 
The nth annual meeting and complimentary 
banquet of this hustling up state club was held 
at the New Commercial Hotel January 19th, 
when a vigorous campaign was launched for the 
1915 season. It is the intention of the Club to 
hold their nth annual tournament on August 
4th and 5th, next, and the shooting fraternity 
may look forward to this tournament with much 
interest, as it promises to be some shoot.

NEMOURS (LADIES) TRAP SHOOTING 
CLUB. 
Major Ramsay’s Trophy Permanently Awarded 
Becomes Permanent Possession of Mrs 
c- l E ‘ Sp rill S er > Who Won the Medai 
ight limes During the Calendar Year 1914. 
January 7th, 1915. 
At the regular meeting of the Nemours Trap¬ 
shooting Club yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Chas. 
Springer was presented with the 1914 Ramsay 
Trophy, having won it eight times during the 
year. This is the second trophy that Major 
Ramsay has presented to the club to be shot for 
weekly under a handicap system, the high handi¬ 
cap score each week winning the medal until the 
next regular shoot. Major Ramsay suggested 
this handicap system as he wanted to give all the 
shooters in the club an equal chance of winning 
the medal Major Ramsay also, stated that the 
shooter winning the medal the greatest number of 
times during the year should become the final 
owner. Mrs. Springer’s nearest competitor was 
Mrs. E. L. Riley, who held the medal six times 
during the year. 
Mrs. Springer also won sixth place on the 
Willis Cup yesterday.

The winter weather is responsible for the 
small attendance at the traps on Wednesday 
afternoons, but l as soon as the pleasant spring 
weather sets in, the ladies will be out in full 
force again. 
Yesterday there were only three women at the 
firing line, but several of the gentlemen present 
filled up the squads and the shoot was enjoyed 
by every one.

BENSONHURST YACHT CLUB SHOOT. 
January 9, 1915. 
Many sportsmen gathered to-day as participants 
and onlookers at the weekly shoot of the Ben- 
sonhurst Yacht Club at its Club grounds on 
Gravesend Bay. The weather conditions were 
not of the best for clay bird shooting, as a dull 
leaden sky and sharp puffy wind made the tar¬ 
gets at times behave in the most erratic fashion. 
The scores, notwithstanding, were extremely, 
good. Dr. Hunter won the major part of the 
prizes and Mr. Eincke and Mr. Hewens, proved 
the winners in two other events. 
Our novice class is fast coming to the front 
under the able coaching of our Dr. Elliott and 
many of them will, without doubt, make some of 
oui veteran shooters look to their laurels before 
the season ends. Appended are the scores:—

BIRMINGHAM, ALA., GUN CLUB. 
E. M. Cornwell Wins Holiday Handicap. 
Jan. 2, 1915. 
E. M. Cornwell won the Holiday Handicap at 
the Birmingham Gun Club on Jan. 2. 
Cornwell shot from the 19 yard mark which 
makes his score all the more creditable. The con¬ 
ditions were not the best. 
E. R. Holt, professional, tied Mr. Cornwell with 
score of 88 out of his 100. Holt shooting from 
21 yards. 
Lee Moody was -a close second with 86 out 
of his 100. 
Mr. Hodges came out too late to finish his 
shooting. 
This is the annual Holiday Handicap of the 
Gun Club, and owing to the bad conditions the 
scores were very low for our shooters. 
Mr. Delony of. Margrett, Ala., paid us a visit 
but shot below his average.

HUDSON GUN CLUB. 
The appended scores was made Dec. 27 at the 
Hudson Gun Club traps, with 14 shooters taking 
part. The morning was cold and with a stiff 
wind that was blowing across the traps, made it 
very hard to get very many good scores. The 
feature of the morning was a match at 100 birds 
between A. Mack and B. Coulton, two expert 
rifle shots of the Fourth Regiment, who have had 
very little practice at the Blue Rock game, and 
considering conditions their scores was very 
good, Coulton winning by 12 birds over Mack, 
and on January 10th, our next shooting date, they 
will try again to see if they can improve their 
scores, as they intend to take part in the tourna¬ 
ment at the Sportsmans Show on the roof of the 
Crystal Palace.
