Missouri.

club contest at Braintree, Mass., on May 18. The con¬ 
testants were divided into classes A and B. It was an 
allowance handicap event, and therefore did not have 
the proper conditions for a championship. Dr. Charles 
G. Weld won in Class A with a score of 90, made from 
scratch. J. J. Cairnes was first in Class B with a score 
of 89, of which 14 was a gift.

and third, Lester S. German, 215. Mr. Richardson was 
high amateur; P. B. Pfleger, second, 203, and E. M. 
Ludwick, third, 200. Owing to rain on the second day, 
part of the programme was cancelled, and the contest 
for the Wawaset trophy is in abeyance for the same 
reason. Mr. Edward Banks defeated W. M. Foord for 
this trophy on May 14, whereupon it was redeemed by 
the club with the intention to put it in competition at 
the spring tournament. It is possible that the next com¬ 
petition for it will be at the Maryland county shoot.

writes us as follows: “We are forwarding you under 
separate cover copy of programme covering tournament

usually attractive one, as the list of prizes is large, and 
the total entrance for the day, including targets is only 
$4.50.” The five programme events abound in prizes 
useful and 1 gratifying to the successful contestant. No. 1 
has prizes as follows: First, a set of silver spoons;

cream ladle; fifth, a sugar shell. The other events also 
have attractive prizes. Event 4 is the combination club

The Pleasure Gun Club. 
Englewood, N. J., May 11. —Forty shooters turned out 
on Saturday afternoon to take part in the regular events 
and witness the team race between the Northsides of 
Paterson and a team of the Pleasure Gun Club, on the 
grounds of the latter at Englewood, N. J. A strong 
west wind blew across the traps and 1 made the targets 
anything but desirable, which accounts for some of the 
scores not being up to the shooters’ usual ability. 
Among the visitors were Jack Fanning, Bob Schneider, 
Fred Schoverling and other trade representatives. 
Next Saturday the Pleasure Gun Club goes to Pater¬ 
son to give the Northsides a return match on their own 
grounds.
