drivers and twisters. 
The New York Athletic Club closed its shooting season 
Saturday of last week. 
The Tackson Park Gun and Revolver Club held a meet¬ 
ing on Thursday of last week, and all arrangements were 
completed for the double-headed Decoration Day shoot. 
There will be competition with both shotgun and re¬ 
volver. Many revolver clubs will be invited to partici¬ 
pate. There will be a regular programme. Many cash 
prizes will go to the best marksmen. The Board 1 of 
Directors decided to install two of the up-to-date traps, 
in place of the magautrap, in time for the tournament, 
which the club will hold in the near future. The date 
is not yet fixed upon. The intention is to make it a tour¬ 
nament of five-men teams instead of individuals, similar 
to that recently held by the Montclair Gun Club. A 
beautiful loving cup will be awarded each member of the 
winning team.

Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League. 
The averages of those who participated in one or a, 
contests of the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League si 
of seven shoots, were compiled recently by Secre 
W E Robinson. Mr. Charles Newcomb, of the S 
White Gun Club, was high, with a total score of 302 
of a possible 350. He also made high individual sc 
48 out of 50. Second high average was made by Mr 
Ballantyne, of the Highland Gun Club, and Doc W< 
of the same club, was third with 290. The totals, ov 
350 targets, follow:

Secretary H. C. Horn informs us that the Hales 
Corners Wis., Gun Club will hold its annual tournament 
on Sy 12 , aid that the grounds will be open for prac¬ 
tice on May 11. Plales Corners is situated near Mi 
waukee. „ 
Thirty-five contestants participated m the regular she 
of the S S White Gun Club, at Wissinoming, Pa., on 
L il 27.' In the contest for the Class A challenge cup, 
Harper defeated Griffiths, and in the Class B cup con- 
test, Firth defeated Heite. 
The English Court of Appeal, consisting of the Master 
of ihe Rolls, Sir Gorell Barnes and Lord Justice Ken¬ 
nedy, on April 20 gave judgment in favor of the Hur- 
lingham Club. The subject matter of the trial was the 
club’s formal resolution prohibiting pigeon shooting on 
the club grounds. This resolution was passed by a 
majority of the club members in May, 1905. In the trial 
of the issue, ihe minority contended that such a radical 
change could not be legally made, as it entirely changed 
the character of the club, deprived many members from 
participating in the sport for which they became club 
members, and for which it was specially formed. Justice 
Joyce on Feb. 22, 1906, gave a decision sustaining the act 
of the club, and from that decision the appeal was taken. 
This decision undoubtedly will end the attempts to re¬ 
store pigeon shooting to the club’s list of sports.

Those who enter the special events of the Interstate 
Association tournament, to be held at Richmond Va„ 
May 8-10, should observe that Secretary-Manager Shaner 
will require a statement of their averages at the time 
making their entries, for the purpose of correct handicaps. 
Mr. Charles Newcomb, of the S. S. White Gun Club, 
made high average in the series of seven shoots held by 
the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League. He scored 302 
out of a possible 350. Mr. A. Ballantyne of the High¬ 
land Gun Club, was second with 293, and Doc W entz, of 
the same club, was third with 290. 
The 
Shenandoah, Pa., Gun Club, on its ground, April 
27, in a four-man 
team match at live birds, 15 birds to 
; a ’ch man, defeated the Middleport Gun Club by a score 
nf 46 to 36 The scores follow: Shenandoah—Miller 14, 
Depew 12. Lee 8 , Brown 12; total 46. Middleport-Slat- 
tery 9, Canfield 9, Weir 8 , Stein 10; total 36. 
The second of the series of five team shoots between 
the Montpelier and Northfield, Vt., gun clubs, was won 
bv the Montpelier five-man team on April 
27. The 
scores were 399 and 382 out of a possible 500. The first 
shoot also was won by the Montpelier team. The three 
remaining contests will take place in June, July and 
August. 
At the Catchpole Gun Club tournament, Wolcott, N. 
Y April 25, Mr. C. L. Frantz, of Seneca Falls, made 
high average with 98 out of 115. Thirty-three shooters 
were present. Uncle Ben Catchpole was absent, due to 
feebleness consequent to his great age, but he expects 
to be on the firing line again when the weather is 
warmer. 
Messrs. Fred W. Schoverling, of Schoverling Brothers, 
and H. P. Fessenden, of New York, returned on April 23 
from Europe, where they had been sojourning several 
weeks. They were in Liege, Belgium, much of the time 
while away, and had several pleasant visits with Mr. 
Carl Bittiner, who was quite active in New York a few 
years ago in promoting the Bittiner & Jaeger single¬ 
trigger mechanism. He is now connected with the firm 
of Scholberg & Delheid, Liege, of whose products Mr. 
Schoverling brought over two samples, finely made guns 
of moderate price. 
Cincinnati, O., April 20.—Our hard-working and ef¬ 
ficient secretary, Roger Davies, has skiddooed for pas¬ 
tures new. We all, at least those who know him, hope 
that success goes with him. To our trapshooting 
friends in Boston and those who visit there, we say, 
look him up, for “he’s a jolly good fellow,” and he will 
certainly appreciate meeting a few friends in a strange 
land. Roger’s address is 206 Lincoln street, Boston, 
care Leather Product Co. 
Plerman Jergens has returned from a short trip to 
Duck Island. _ . 
Tim Faran is with us again, but only for a short time. 
Business interests will keep him away from Cincy for a 
few months yet. . 
Gambell is at his old tricks again. He will be out of 
the game for a few weeks with a broken arm. 
Chas. Dreihs has left us again, but while he was here 
he showed us how to break some targets. If Charlies was a 
regular some of us might wake up. 
The chances are that no definite action will be taken 
about getting new grounds until the annual election in 
May, when the new board goes in. 
The 13th fell on Saturday, and Wow! what a day it 
was. However, Martin and Cottingham braved the 
storm. Say, Major Delmar, come down here and show 
us how you put up those scores. Understand, we don’t 
doubt your ability to make good; we just want to see 
that sunny smile of yours. K. 88 speaks highly, though 
perhaps a little skeptically, of your frequent stunts at the 
traps in a letter of recent date to yours truly. 
Well, well, did you see “our old college chum” Luther 
Jerry Squier in Sporting Life last week? There are a few 
of us in Cincy who can testify to his ability with the 
pen and pencil all right. His good fellowship was never 
questioned in any locality, and his marksmanship is of 
the best, unless he is up against some of the “dub tar¬ 
gets,” as he calls them, that they have in Cincinnati. 
He certainly can point the gun right in a pinch, as a few 
who attended the last G. A. IT. at live birds in Kansas 
City can swear to. ' 
Don’t forget the annual meeting of the C. G. G. on 
Friday, May 10, and make it your business to be there. 
Our old friend Jab Bee is in town for a short stay. 
If possible he will be out to the grounds this Saturday. 
He looks in splendid health, and for that we are all 
thankful. , , , , 
Gambell warns all shooters to be on the lookout for 
him as soon as he can get around again. There is going 
to be “something doing.” 
Charlie Dreihs got an awful fall while he was here, 
and it wasn’t caused by the Masonic goat either. Owens¬ 
boro, Ky., papers please copy. 
Come on here, Harold Money; we thought you were 
going to drop in on us once in a while.
