NEW YORK ATHLETIC CLUB TRAVERS ISLAND CLUB HOUSE. 
e’CrtJ 
The first of a series of three matches between the 
Colgate and Perryman (Md.) gun clubs, was shot on 
Jzm. 9, and resulted in a victory for Colgate by a score 
of 445 to 441. Each of the ten men shot at 50 targets. 
High individual score, 49, was made by Mr. J. Mowell 
Hawkins. 
* 
A practice shoot, six entries, at 10 birds, took the 
place of the regular programme at the Point Breeze track; 
Philadelphia, on Saturday of last week. The weather 
was so unfavorable that the attendance was small. The 
match between Messrs. Fred Muller and Horace Young 
was postponed till a date to be decided upon later. 
* 
At the shoot of the Keystone Gun Club, of Lebanon, 
Pa., Jan. 10, Mr. G. S. Trafford won all the trophies, 
three in number, 'by scoring 10 straight in the live bird 
event and winning in the shoot-off with Jones; by 
scoring 24 out of 25 targets in the Keystone medal 
event, and by scoring 46 out of 50 in the Ressler trophy 
event.

The team match between Ossining and Montclair re¬ 
sulted in a victory for Ossining on the Ossining 
grounds, Jan. 12, with weather conditions which com¬ 
bined heavy clouds, wind, rain and a raw" temperature. 
The scores were 183 to 178, five men on a side. Messrs. 
Bedell and Bush tied on 40 for high individual prize, 
and the tie will be shot off at Montclair, N. J., in Feb¬ 
ruary. 
This week, Jan. 16, Mr. Arthur Gambell contemplated 
leaving Cincinnati, to take charge of the shooting at 
Palm Beach, Fla., during the winter season; that is, till 
about April 1. Mr. Gambell’s ability, in all matters per¬ 
taining to club shoots and tournaments has proved to 
be of the highest order. Also, he has the initiative and 
energy which keep things moving even on dull days. 
Again, he can do some stunts with the shotgun himself. 
There are two events on the Florists’ Gun Club pro¬ 
gramme, each at 100 targets, sliding handicaps, 14 to 
20yds.; entrance, price of targets. The first will be 
started upon the arrival of the 9:06 train at Wissinoming 
from Broad street station, and the second on the arrival 
o>f the 1:12 train, Jan. 19. The prize of the first event is 
the manager’s trophy; of the second, the Sportsman’s 
Journal trophy. Optional purse in each event, $5, high 
guns, one money for each two entries. The events to 
be shot in strings of 20 targets, the first string to be shot 
from 17yds. John K. Starr, Manager, 221 N. 65th street, 
Philadelphia. 
Secretary Horace C. Kirkwood writes us that “The 
eighth annual tournament of the Boston Gun Club will 
be held during the year 1907, on the dates June 5 and 6. 
The usual policy of the club in relation tO' team shooting 
will still be held. On the second day the Interstate team 
match between New England States will in all prob¬ 
ability be held, as it is practically all arranged at the 
present time. Shooters from all over the country are 
welcome, and the management will do whatever they 
can toward making them have an enjoyable time.” 
Assistant Secretary C. A. Jobson writes us: “At the 
third annual meeting of the Lock Haven Gun Club the 
following officers were elected for the year: President, 
R. L. Schuyler; Vice-President, J. Hogan Furst; Sec¬ 
retary, Judge C. H. Bressler; Treasurer, C. M. Flack; 
Field Captain, P. S. Kift; Assistant Captain, C. A. 
Jobson; Official Scorer, F. E. Harder; Executive Com¬ 
mittee, C. A. Jobson, Chairman; J. N. Keller, H. A. 
Stevenson, D. B. Anderson, Barton Pardee. Our third 
annual tournament will be held on Aug. 14 and 15 next.”

The matter concerning the conditions governing the 
New York city cup, published this week in Forest and 
Stream, comes in happily apropos at this juncture, for 
the reason that, under the “deed of gift” the shoot of 1908 
is the last open shoot for said trophy; and, moreover, 
the convention of 1908 is to fix the conditions within 
certain limitations, for the final contest for it ih 1909. 
Considering the value of the trophy, the good-will of the 
donors, and the significance of the trophy, the old New 
York State Association for the Protection of Fish and 
Game has treated the trophy with contemptijnus in¬ 
difference. 
The programme of the second competition of the 
Bergen Beach Gun Club series can be obtained of the 
Secretary-Manager, L. H. Schortemeier, 201 Pearl street, 
New York. This event is the Lincoln’s Birthday shoot,

Crescent Athletic Club. 
Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 12.—Fog, cold rain and a dull 
light were unfavorable weather conditions for good 
scores or good attendance at the Bay Ridge grounds of 
the Crescent Athletic Club to-day. Weather conditions 
considered, there was a fair attendance nevertheless. 
The leg on the January cup was won by Mr. J, H. 
Ernst, with a full score. Scores:
