Mountain View Gun Club. 
Troy, N. Y., Dec. 19.—At the regular weekly shoot 
of the Mountain View Gun Club to-day some good scores 
were made. Sanders, who got fourth place at the 
American amateur championship at Travers Island, was 
high gun to-day with the same score he made at the 
above-mentioned shoot, 92 out of 100. _ . 
In the first event, Sanders was the winner with 24, 
while Butler finished second with 23, and Roberts and 
Milliman tied for third place with 22. . 
The second event was captured by Milliman with 24. 
Roberts and Sanders tied with 22 each. _ ... 
Sanders and Roberts tied with 23 each in the third 
event, while Milliman finished second with 22. 
The fourth event proved to be the feature of the day. 
Doc. Welling, the one-armed shooter, captured this event 
with a score of 24. The genial Doc has been doing some 
good shooting of late. , . 
The club is planning a very vigorous compaign tor 
1909, and will no doubt be a candidate for the State 
shoot for 1910. 
We will start the New Year with an all-day tournament, 
at which we expect to have representatives present from 
the different gun clubs along the Hudson River and 
will then organize among these clubs a Hudson River 
Trapshooting League. This league we believe would 
help promote this grand sport. 
The tournament on New Year s Day calls for 175 tar¬ 
gets—one 15-target event and eight 20 -target events. 
Entrance for whole programme, $11.65. Targets, 1% 
cent each. We have just installed a new set of expert 
traps with electric pull; these traps, with our Leggett, 
will be used with bluerocks. 
Shooting will commence at 10 A.M. Shells containing 
all popular loads will be for sale on grounds. Lunch 
will also be served. To reach grounds take Sycaway 
cars. Purses will be divided Rose system. \\ e extend 
an invitation to all.

scores made over our traps for the team shoot of Larch- 
mont Yacht Club vs. Manhasset Bay Yacht Club, on 
Dec. 19, also scores for regular prizes and sweepstakes 
on Dec. 20. . . ,, 
Our traps are very hard, which will explain these 
rather low scores. Stuart Scott made the highest score 
in any of the shoots, being 24 out of 25 „ ,

Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 19 .-Attached herewith 
find scores made at our weekly shoot. Owing to a 
drizzly rain, shooting was surely hard. 
Event No. 2 was for the club’s medal, and was won 
by Smith after a shoot-off with Osgood and McGuire; 
Smith made 19 again, while Osgood and McGuire 
dropped down to 17 and 15 respectively. 
Event No. 3, was for the Hunter trophy, and was won 
by Conover after a shoot-off with Adams. 
The team shoot created lots of interest, and sure was 
a close race. . , , . , . 
Capt Headley was with us again, after being absent 
after ducks since the season came in; sure glad to see 
him back on the firing line. 
Wells also has come out again to gather some more 
laurels. Pie sure can shoot, if you let him sit on the 
trap house. , , . . .. . 
We shot over the new Ideal trap for the first time, and 
every one claims it to be tiptop. ir > 
We shoot for turkeys and sweepstakes on New Years 
afternoon, and would be pleased to have any visiting 
sportsmen in the city come out with us. lhe Lfielsea 
Gun Club shoot all day Christmas, for turkeys and geese 
and expect a large day. 
Bv addressing the secretary, Sheppard any one can 
receive a programme of the New Year s^shoot.

New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Island, N. Y., Dec. 19.—Notwithstanding we 
have had two days’ shooting here, it seems the boys 
hadn’t had enough, and fifteen guns turned out, the 
weather being ideal for shooting—no wind and a bright 
^Dwen and Hodgman shared the honors, the former 
winning legs on the December cup (event 2) and Sauer 
gun in the latter event (No. 3), making a straight. 
Hodgman won the leg on the Stevens gun (event 4) 
and a trophy shoot (event 5), but only after shooting off 
tie with Elias, Elias winning one trophy shoot. 
Our traps will be open on Christmas Day and JNew

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Dec. 19.—A miniature turkey shoot was 
one of the features at the Saturday afternoon matinee, 
as well as was the unexpected arrival of Mr. Delmar D. 
Gross, of Du Pont Powder Co., who has been in Kansas 
City and the West for the past six months; also the 
arrival of Mr. Fred Le Noir, the Dead Shot man. Just 
like the college boys, they all come home for Christmas. 
The line-up on the turkey match excited considerable 
rivalry. The evenness of the turkey awards after it was 
over was quite a surprise. Johnny Taylor got two by 
accident. Roundy Chamberlain, an earned run of 25. 
Fred Le Noir landed a 22, and that was good for one. 
Webster won one. Gross with a 23, run off with his in 
next to the last event. 
Programmes have been mailed out for the tournament 
of the 31st, with list of prizes and moneys. Christmas 
Day, there will be open house all day and turkey shoot¬ 
ing both morning and afternoon with shotgun, rifle and 
pistol. , , Tr . . 
Mr. Ward, of Ashville, O., was over to the Wednesday 
afternoon shoot this week, and reports that the boys 
from that section are coming to the prize tournament 
on the 31st.

Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind.—Dixon won the first event of a 
series of weekly shoots in a contest among the amateur 
members' of the Indianapolis Gun Club Saturday after¬ 
noon, Dec. 19, for the members trophy—a beautiful and 
valuable sterling silver water pitcher. It was ai cold, 
windy day, altogether unfavorable for target shooting, 
but these difficulties did not seem to interfere with 
Dixon’s execution in the least. The score he put up, 48 
out of 50 targets, would have been creditable to any ot 
the contestants in the best of weather conditions. 
The contest for the members’ trophy will continue from 
week to week until some one of the members of the club 
shall win three separate events of the inteterminate series 
—the first one while shooting from 16yds. the second 
.one from 18yds., and the final one from 20 yds. All con¬ 
testants start at 16yds., and remain at that position until 
they win one event, and then shoot from 18yds. until they 
win a second one, and compete from the extreme handi¬ 
cap distance of 20yds. until the third one is won Inter¬ 
state Association trapshooting rules govern. The trophy 
was on exhibition at the club house Saturday, and if the 
expressions of admiration may be considered as reliable, 
the indications are that it will evoke a very spirited con¬ 
tention for its ownership. , , . .... — 
The scores that were made in Saturday s initial 
were Dixon 48, Parry 46. Denny 43 Le Compte 42, Brit¬ 
ton 40, Lewis 30, and Neighbors 27, all shooting from 
16yds. Next Saturday Dixon will shoot from 18yds. 
against the entire field at 16yds. .

Montclair, N. J., Dec. 19,-The North Caldwell Club 
paid a visit to Montclair to-day and shot an eight-man 
team race at 50 targets, losing to the Montclair Club by 
29 targets. The day was rather dull and dark and not 
favorable to very high scores; the last squad had hard 
work in finding the targets.
