FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Jan. 26 , 1907 . 
Secretary E. J. Loughlin, Utica, N. Y., writes us that 
the Riverside Gun Club will hold a target tournament on 
Feb. 9. 
The eighth annual tournament of the Ossining, N. Y., 
Gun Club will be held on May 30. The Secretary is 
G. B. Hubbell. 
The South Side Gun Club recently elected officers 
as follows: President, C. F. Feigenspan; \ ice-President, 
Edward F. DuffySecretary and Treasurer, Francis C. 
Nott, Jr. The club will hold shoots regularly on 
Saturday afternoons, beginning in the near future. 
Mr. Edward Banks, of the Dupont Powder Co., Wil¬ 
mington, Del., was expected at his office on Monday of 
this week, after a delightful sojourn in Florida, where 
fish, game and balmy air are in abundance. A brief note 
from Mr. Banks stated that his outing was most enjoy¬ 
able in every respect. 
To the renowned chief and trapshot of Canada, and 
to his good wife, we extend our heartiest felicitations, 
as will all our readers who peruse the following re¬ 
print of a card received by us this week: Mr. and Mrs. 
Thomas A. Duff, 3 Maynard avenue, Toronto, a daughter, 
born Jan. 19, 1907.” 
The reliables to the number of three were in evidence 
at the shoot of the Marine and Field Club to-day, at 
Bath Beach, Brooklyn. The programme total was 175 
targets. Mr, C. M. Camp was high average with 156; 
second, A. C. Bellows, 156; third, W. H. Davoe, 147. 
A heavy fog obscured the view and lessened the scores. 
Captain Chas. G. Blandford, Ossining, writes us as 
follows: “The forty-ninth annual tournament of the 
New York State Sportsman’s Association will be held 
under the direction of the Masonic Temple. Gun Club, 
of Syracuse, June 11-13. Geo. C. Kirk, Tournament 
Secretary, Masonic Temple, Syracuse, N. Y.” 
The third leg for the January cup was won by Mr. 
J. H. Ernst, at the shoot of the Crescent Athletic Club, 
Bay Ridge, L. I., Jan. 19. He made a full score, 
though in the total of the three January cup shoots, he 
is led by Mr. W. C. Damron, who has scored 25, 24 
and 22, to Ernst’s 25, 25 and 17—that is, 71 to 67. 
Numerous special prizes will be a feature of the New 
York Athletic Club contests during the coming season, 
and it is expected that the number of shooters will be 
largely increased thereby. The tfapshooting committee 
has a membership of practical shotgun experts who are 
earnest in promoting the interests of the sport. The 
members are: George F. Pelham, Chairman; J. W. Hib¬ 
bard, C. W. Billings, F. Flodgman and Gus Greiff. 
There were twelve entries in the contest at 20 live 
birds on the grounds of the Keystone Shooting League, 
Ilolmesburg Junction, Jan. 19. Messrs. P. F. Dupont, of 
Wilmington, and Frank, of Philadelphia tied. The 
shoot-off, miss-and-out, was won by Dupont with a score 
of 19 to 18. The weather conditions were extremely 
unpleasant and unfavorable for good scores. 
Mr. J. P. Seidy, Phillipsburg, writes us as follows: 
“High average of the Alert Gun Club, of Phillipsburg, 
N. J.,' for 1906 was won by Jacob Pliess, of Easton, Pa., 
shooting at a 55yds. target on doubles and singles, 
breaking 88 per cent. E. Markley, of the same place, 
broke 81 per ceflt, winning second. Both men shot at 
2,300 targets.” 
The North River Gun Club, of Edgewater, N. J., has 
returned to its old grounds on the Hudson River. This 
undoubtedly will be for the best interests of the club. 
Since it left the river grounds, interest waned with the 
result that there was often a light attendance, and weeks 
in which no shoots were held. New enthusiasm is now 
aroused, and no doubt there will be the same strong 
support that was" so conspicuous in the old days. • 
Secretary George \\ . Mains writes us that at a 
meeting of the Enterprise Gun Club, of McKeesport, 
Pa., held Friday, Jan. 18, the following officers were 
elected for the ensuing year: R. G. Knight, President; 
William Pickle, Vice-President; Geo. N. Mains, Sec¬ 
retary; J. F. Calhoun, Treasurer. Our opening shoot 
takes place in February, and the first contest for the 
McKeesport Daily News cup takes place on these 
grounds March 30. Our eleventh annual tournament 
will be held on May 30.” 
The manager’s cup, the first event of the programme at 
the amttteur handicap tournament, at Wissinbming, Pa., 
Jan. 19, was won by Mr. Harry Landis, who tied on 89 
with Messrs. Harry McCarty and C. E. Mink. In the 
shoot-off Landis broke 24 out of 25 and won. Mr. Mink 
and Mr. Andrew Ballantyne tied on 89 for the Sports- 
man ’s Journal cup. Ballantyne refused to shoot off the 
tie on the ground that Mink is a professional. The 
matter has been submitted to Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, 
Secretary-Manager of the Interstate Association, for 
adjudication. 
The team contest between Harrisburg and Lebanon, 
Jan. 19, at Harrisburg, Pa., resulted in a victory for 
Lebanon by a score of 84 to 79. There were ten men on 
a side, and each man shot at 10 live birds. Straight 
scores were made by Capt. Ressler and Arnold, of the 
visitors, and Capt. Oliver and Wilson, of the home 
team. In the series of three matches, the Lebanon 
team won the first also; therefore the second victory 
ended the series. A match for a $200 purse, to be shot 
on neutral grounds, was arranged at the close of the 
shoot. The date is not yet determined. 
The Boston Athletic Association, on the grounds at 
Riverside Jan. 19, defeated the Norfolk Country Club in 
a 5-man team match. The scores were as follows: 
Boston Athletic Association—Adams 44, Clark 43, Owen 
44, Hallett 46, Howell 43; total 220. Norfolk C. C.— 
Nickerson 47, Hutchinson 37, Smith 32, Burgess 37, 
Royce 39; total, 192. 
At the shoot of the New York Athletic Club on Jan. 
19, at Travers Island, Mr. F. H. Schauffler won a leg 
ori the January cup with a full score of 50. Mr. Hill 
broke 6 out of 10 doubles, winning first thereby, and 
also won first in the distance handicap event with a score 
of 21 out of 25 from the 19yds. mark. In the first event 
Mr. C. F. Pelham scored 24 out of 25 from scratch and 
won. ► 
Concerning the series of shoots held by the Bergen 
Beach, L. I., Gun Club, the Secretary-Manager corrects 
an error in our review of the programme, published 
recently. In the 50-target event, the entrance is $1, 
that being the price of targets, instead of $ 2 , as er¬ 
roneously stated. There are still four contests of the 
series, and participation in three contests is a condition 
necessarily observed to qualify for a prize. 
Crescent Athletic Club. 
Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 19. —'The scores made on the 
grounds of the Crescent Athletic .Club at Bay Ridge 
to-dav were of a high order, notwithstanding the rainy 
weather conditions. Mr. J. H. Ernst made a full score 
for the January cup, Messrs. L. C. Hopkins and W. C. 
Damron being a close second with 24 each. Damron, 
however, is in the lead, his total in three shoots being 
71 to 67 for Ernst; that is, 25, 24 and 22, to 25, 25 and 17^. 
Scoi es: 
Mr. Edward Banks, one of the Dupont Powder Co.’s 
able lieutenants, of Wilmington, Del., is back at his 
desk after a most delightful sojourn in Florida. He 
enjoyed himself thoroughly, as indeed who would not 
in such an outing, for he shot ducks among the 
thousand islands of the Banana River,” had snipe shoot¬ 
ing on the marshes of Lake Poinsett, and had some 
black bass fishing vouchsafed to few mortals, his 
heaviest bass weighing 7 pounds 2 ounces, taken on 
7-ounce rod, and casting a “bucktail.” Banana River 
is a branch of the Indian River. Several weeks of such 
delights are quite enough to keep one fiappy and 
vigorous till it is time to go shooting and fishing again.

New York Athletic Club. 
New York, Jan. 21 .—Herewith are the ^scores of th 
regular weekly shoot of the New York Athletic Club, a 
Travers Island, N. Y. The bad weather kept down th 
attendance, only six guns reporting. 
Considering the conditions, the scores were good, lh 
fog and mist at times almost obscured the traps, and >
