Secretary-Manager Elmer E. Shaner writes us that

state Association will be held Thursday, Dec. 3, at 10 
A. M., at Oakland, Bergen county, N. J. The meeting 
will be held in proper form and adjourned to Friday,

Four teams, representing respectively Yale, Harvard, 
Princeton and University of Pennsylvania, participated in 
the intercollegiate annual championship contest, held at 
New Haven, . Conn., on Nov. 21. Yale won somewhat 
easily. The totals of the teams’ doings were: Yale, 432. 
Harvard, 412. Princeton, 406. Pennsylvania, 348. There 
were five men on each team, each of whom shot at 100 
targets. Capt. Thaw, of Yale, won the individual cham¬ 
pionship. 
There were eleven contestants at the shoot of the 
Crescent Athletic Club on Nov. 21. Mr. F. W. Moffett, 
one of the scratch contestants, scored a leg on the 
November cup with a score of 23 out of 25. There were 
three teams in the two-man team handicap, 25 targets per 
man. Of these, the Fox-Hubbard team scored a total 
of 47, and thereby has a leg to its credit. There is 
some talk of a team contest with the New York Athletic 
Club. A new shooting house, built during the week, 
added much to the comfort of the shooters.

From the Shooting Committee of the New York 
Athletic Club we have received the following communica¬ 
tion: “This club will hold the annual amateur champion¬ 
ship of America at clay birds on Dec. 18, and also will 
provide a nice trophy for Dec. 17, practice day. This 
shoot, as well as that of Dec. 18, is open to amateurs 
only. As our new shooting house is about completed, and 
the main club house will also be open, we are sure to 
handle a large crowd of shooters comfortably. Address 
communications to Gus E. Greiff, 302-304 Broadway, New 
York.” 
The Ossining, N. Y., Gun Club held its November 
meeting recently, at the home of Alderman Charles G 
*•"" Blandford. The financial affairs of the club were found 
to be in a gratifyingly flourishing condition. It was 
decided to send a five-man team to Tuckahoe, to con¬ 
test in a match with the Tuckahoe Gun Club. Presi¬ 
dent Brandreth generously donated numerous prizes for 
a Thanksgiving Day shoot. At future invitation shoots, 
an expert mechanic will be engaged. He will have sole 
supervision of the traps, and will be responsible for 
their efficiency. A regulation archery target was ordered 
for the use of the members who are interested in the 
sport. After the business details were concluded, Capt.
