feated the Midland Gun Club in a five-man team con¬ 
test at Maywood, April 6, by a 'score of 90 to 84. Each 
man shot at 25 targets: 
Mrs. Frank E. Butler (Miss Annie Oakley) secured a 
verdict of $5,000 recently against a Brooklyn, N. Y., 
paper, for publishing the libel a few years ago the 
substance of which is well known generally. Her hosts 
of friends will rejoice over the success of her suit. 
The fourth team contest between teams, of Lebanon 
and Harrisburg, was won by Lebanon, April 4, on F. L. 
Clark’s grounds at Lancaster, Pa. There were ten men 
to each team, and each man shot at 15 live birds, lhe 
scores were 123 to 120. Lebanon thus won three out of 
the four contests. 
The Middlesex, Mass., Gun Club team defeated the 
Harvard team, five men on a side, on Soldiers’ Field, 
April 6. Each man shot at 50 targets. The team mem¬ 
bers and their scores were as follows: Middlesex G. C.

Mr. John Martin, of New York, who is a member of 
the Bergen Beach Gun Club, won the championship of 
the Metropolitan Gun Clubs, held by the Montclair, N. J., 
Gun Club, on April 3. He scored 95 out of 100. There 
were 151 contestants in this great event, and the honor 
of winning it has therefore an important significance. 
Mr. W. H. Heer was high professional with a score of 
93, and Mr. H. S. Welles was second professional with 92. 
Secretary F. B. Chapman informs us that a tri-village 
gun club was organized at Glens Falls, N. Y., recently,

The championship of Metropolitan Gun Clubs, the 
great event held by the Montclair, N. J., Gun Club on 
April 3, was managed in an up-to-date manner in all its 
details. The office work was so specialized that there 
were no delays in the action of the competition. On a 
bulletin board, placed on posts above the heads of the 
shooters, the scores of the squads were placed, as they 
in turn finished, thus the standing of the shooters at 
any stage was apparent. Much credit is due INI r. Edward 
Winslow, Secretary of the Montclair Gun Club, for 
originating the idea of such a contest, and for his ener¬ 
getic official work in securing the interest of so mans 
fine amateur contestants, and their participation in it. 
Canadian Indians’ Tournament. 
Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, Canada, April 1 .—Editor 
Forest and Stream: I am now in Quebec, completing 
arrangements for the Canad’an Indians’ tournament tiere 
on May 24 and 25. Everything is progressing nicely, and 
a splendid shoot is assured. 1 he boys of Quebec, under 
the guidance of Chief Citadel (H. des Rivieres) are work¬ 
ing hard. 
The cuting will be held on the grounds of the Quebec 
Gun Club, which are located on thie old Duke of Kent 
House property, and no better or more congenial sur¬ 
roundings could possibly be secured. The fact that the 
father of our late Queen Victoria formerly lived here, 
added to the pleasure of shooting within one hundred 
yards of the celebrated Falls of Montmorency, which 
are 270 feet high, gives additional interest to the meeting. 
The Kent House is now a splendid hotel, while the 
grounds are beautifully laid out and abound with mag¬ 
nificent specimens of moose, elk, caribou, deer, Deaver, 
etc. 
The annual pow-wow of the Tribe will be held on 
May 24 in the rustic theatre, which will be suitably or¬ 
namented for the occasion. 
The city of Quebec is one of the most ancient cities of 
North America. It is calLed the “Gibraltar of North 
America,” and with its old walls, fortifications, citadel, 
churches, monuments, narrow streets and old buildings, 
is worthy of a visit. 
A special feature of the social side will be a pilgrim¬ 
age to the celebrated Shrine of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, 
which has been arranged for Sunday, May 26. People 
come here from all parts of the world to be healed, and 
pyramids of crutches and sticks that have been tnrown 
away by the cured are to be seen. 
The Canadian Indians are adding $1,300 to the purses, 
and a cordial invitation is extended to all sportsmen to 
attend. This will certainly be the social outing of the 
year, with beautiful grounds, pleasant company, a mag¬ 
nificent programme and sight-seeing excursions. 
As was done in Montreal last year, a special and 
unique souvenir will be distributed free to all competi¬ 
tors and guiests. . , , „ 
The programme will be issued by May 1, and a copy 
may be secured for the asking on application to myself.

Larchmont Yacht Club. 
Larchmcnt, N. Y., April 6.— The final competition for 
the Whitney Lyon cup attracted a good attendance. 
There was also a large gathering' of spectators, who 
watched the contests with keen interest. The winners 
of the four weekly competitions were Messrs. Richard 
Cobden, J. Ross Collins, J. A. Pisani and E. L. C. 
Robins. The latter, tied with Mr. Pisani, and later on 
won the shoot-off and the handsome trophy. The scores: 
Whitney Lyon cup, 50 targets, handicap:

Championship of Metropolitan Gun Clubs 
Montclair, N. J.—One hundred and fifty-one marks 
men representing over thirty gun clubs, located in the 
metropolitan district, contested for the four sterling 
silver loving cups offered by the Montclair Gun Club at 
the first annual championship of Metropolitan Gun Clubs. 
Almost perfect weather conditions, with all plans care¬ 
fully made beforehand for a large attendance, both at 
the traps and in the office, conspired to make the tour¬ 
nament a great success. The event was held on 
A ’I'he match started promptly at 9:15 A. M., and from 
that time on until 6:45 P. M. both sets of traps were 
kept busy, without cessation for a moment. lhe fact 
that things worked smoothly, is attested by the fact that 
nearly 15,000 targets were thrown from the two sets of 
traps during the day. . . 
The match was shot at 100 targets, in strings of 2a 
each over two sets of expert traps, set Sergeant system, 
unknown traps, unknown angles, entrance including 
targets 
The office was in charge of the secretary, Mr. Wins¬ 
low, and the treasurer, Mr. Holmes, while the held was 
under the general supervision of Messrs. Bush, Allan and 
Cockefair, while Messrs. Butler, Fanning and Schneider, 
trade representatives, were of great help. 
The Bergen Beach Gun Club carried off the honors ot 
the day, John Martin, of that club, breaking 95 targets 
and winning lhe first prize, a sterling silver loving cup, 
valued at $110, especially designed for the occasion by 
the International Silver Co., and presented by Mr. A. K. 
Allan of the Montclair Club. George Kouwenhoven, of 
thie same club, took second honors, and a sterling silver 
cup valued at $60, with a score of 94 targets to his credit, 
while Dr. E. F. Gleason, of the Crescent Athletic Club, 
captured the third cup with a card of 91 breaks. 
The club cup, for the club whose representative squad 
of five men should make the highest aggregate score in 
the championship event, was awarded to the Bergen 
Beach Gun Club, its five highest scores aggregating 437. 
The Crescent team took second with a score of 420, 
Montclair being third with a score of 402. 
W H Heer, a trade representative, was high pro¬ 
fessional, with a score of 93, H. S. Welles being second 
with 92 breaks to his credit. 
At intervals during the day there was quite some wind 
blowing from such direction as to make the targets, 
which were thrown quite swiftly, make some very ec 
centric and unexpected curves, and in consequence the 
scores of some of the best shots suffered. 
Several of the contestants who had come from a dis¬ 
tance, after shooting the first two strings, seeing that 
they had no chance for the trophies, rather than wait 
till 4 or 5 o’clock to complete their scores, withdrew, 
thus making it possible to finish the match before dark. 
There was quite a large gathering of spectators, from 
far and near; and at times interest ran quite high. All 
scores were posted on a large bulletin board as fast as 
made, thus keeping those interested thoroughly posted 
as to each man’s position in the race.

The eight-man team of the Boston Athletic Associa¬ 
tion was victorious in the contest with the Yale team 
at New Haven, Conn., April 5. The scores were not 
high, a stiff wind affecting the flights of the targets 
adversely. Scores: Yale—Manierre, 31, Thompson 37, 
Shene 35, Gosnell 37, l’ugsley 40, King 39, Logan 35, 
Trudeau 42; total 297. Boston A. A.—Adams 41, Clark

Gleason 46. Titcomb 33; total 314. On April 6 the 
Boston team was defeated by the team of the Crescent 
Athletic Club, at Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The weather was 
raw and a variable wind made irregular and. eccentric 
target flights. Each man shot at 100 targets. High in¬ 
dividual score, 93, was made by Mr. D. Hallett, of
