Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 29.—The annual meeting 
of the Atlantic City Gun Club was held at the Seaside 
Hotel, Wednesday evening, 19th inst., and officers for 
the ensuing year yere elected. In the absence of the 
president and vice-president, Mr. Powers took the chair. 
The following officers were nominated and elected: 
President, H. B. Cook; Vice-President, Dr. A. L. West¬ 
cott; Treasurer, H. E. Pennell; Field Captain, N. Y. 
Young; Secretary, A. H. Sheppard. 
During the meeting of the coming State shoot of the 
New Jersey State Sportsmen’s Association was_ dis¬ 
cussed and plans made to make this shoot one of history 
and second to none of the State shoots. All the events 
will be open to any amateur of the country, except the 
team shoots, and the State championship, wnich will be 
run off in connection with the regular program; the 
shoot will be held June 2, 3 and 4, on the famous Young’s 
Pier, where the Westy Hogans have enjoyed such suc¬ 
cess and renown. 
The list of money and merchandise prizes will aggre¬ 
gate over $1,000, and all are eligible by shooting for 
targets only; an optional sweep will be run each day for 
those who wish to try for the “long green.” 
All lovers of trapshooting should reserve these dates 
in their shooting calendar at dnce, as the one shoot of 
the year worth attending. When anything is done at 
Atlantic City, it is done right. 
The main events of the weekly shoot were for a vase 
and the regular monthly spoon. When the smoke drifted 
it was found that Algar with 6 handicap, had scored a 
win for the vase, and the spoon went to Dr. Westcott, 
who, by the way, is again getting back into something 
like his old-time form. 
In the team shoots, Cook and Westcott prooved too 
much for Young and Madara, and they are going to 
have it again on the coming Wednesday, at which time 
the latter team expect to make a different story.

Dr. C. C. Smith, of New Haven, Conn., was with us, 
and shooting a strange gun on new grounds his work 
was very creditable. We are always glad to have any 
visiting shooters with us. By inquiring at the hotel 
offices any one can quickly get on track of some of the 
shooters. Secretary. 
Frontier Rod and Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 30.—Ideal weather conditions 
favored the sportsman at the second annual merchandise 
shoot of the Frontier Rod and Gun Club. Although the 
attendance was not up to expectations, a fine after¬ 
noon’s sport was enjoyed by those present, to whom 
forty-four prizes were distributed, ranging from $1 to 
$15 in value. 
The third event was the merchandise, handicap added 
targets.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Jan. 22.—Only five shooters braved the 
blizzard Saturday afternoon. They only shot a few tar¬ 
gets and then hiked back to town. The Columbus Gun 
Club, ten men strong, went to Circleville on the 20th 
and shot against ten men of the Ideal Gun Club. To 
say we had a royal good time and paid for the suppers 
of the Ideal Gun Club boys is very close to the truth. 
It was a shame, the way the Ideal boys took our money, 
and glad to get it, too. 
Feb. 3 a return match will be shot at Columbus, O., 
ten men on a side, 50 targets per man, for the suppers. 
Our boys sure have blood in their eyes. Four straight 
is just too many. Shooting will commence at 10 and last 
all day, with sweepstakes to suit the shooters. Every 
one welcome. 
Saturday, January 29.-Twenty-one shooters were out 
to the club Saturday afternoon. Several visiting shoot¬ 
ers took part. Wing and Kaufman, of Dublin; Shell, of 
Columbus, having moved in the last week from Thorn- 
ville; Ford, of Circleville; Miller, Day, Porter, Coe, 
McCormick, of the East Side, and Holiday made us a 
nice visit, and showed us that he hadn’t forgotten how. 
When the weather gets right again, we look for a big 
attendance, from all indications. 
Chamberlain was high with 92 per cent. Webster, of 
the amateurs, was high with 89 per cent. 
Jack Smith is shooting a fine clip now. Capt. Carson, 
of the U. S. Barracks, is there with the scatter gun. 
We notice that Brother Wallace, of the Cleveland 
Gun Club says they have ten men up there who can 
break 90 per cent, and better. Now, we have ten men 
down here who can break more targets than Brother 
Wallace’s; so we, the Columbus Gun Club, challenge 
the Cleveland Gun Club for a match of 50 targets per 
man, for the targets and dinners; either five or ten 
men, whichever suits Cleveland. We also challenge the 
Newark Gun Club for a match for the Phellis cup, which 
they have held so long; six men on a side, 50 targets 
per man. Come on, boys, we have a chip on our 
shoulder.

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Jan. 26.—The final Wednesday shoot 
of the January list of Paleface shoots was held at 
Wellington to-day, and a more enjoyable afternoon it 
would be hard to find with the nineteen shooters in 
evidence, representing all points of the compass. 
Mayor Reed, accompanied by his brother, Elmer, and 
Charlie Darrah made up the New Hampshire contingent, 
and a strong bur.ch it made. The home shooters to a 
man had to sit up and take notice. 
’Gene’s work from the 20yd. mark was fine. It has 
been many months since such good handicap shooting 
has been done on these grounds, and in such a clean 
and decisive manner. 
The leading home shooters proved to be Clarke and 
Morse, the former having somewhat the better of the 
handicapping; and he certainly looked like the winner at 
all stages of the game except the final event. Plowever, 
it was fairly hard luck to be stacked up against such a 
veteran as the Mayor, and have to do a 90 per cent, 
clip to win. Both of these enthusiasts should be given 
all the credit for the tie. 
Next in line, but 5 targets less, was the scratch man, 
who in turn led Charles 2 targets. Considering the 
afternoon conditions, the shooting on a whole was easily 
far ahead of the regular work.

W. P. T. S. League. 
Pittsburg. —At a meeting of the Western Pennsyl¬ 
vania Trapshooters’ League, held Tuesday, Jan. 25, it 
was unanimously decided to continue the League for the 
year 1910. The meeting was one of the largest ever held 
in western Pennsylvania, and much enthusiasm was dis¬ 
played. Five new clubs joined the rank in file. 
A team race will be shot this year that promises to be 
more than interesting. The League is open to all clubs 
in western Pennsylvania who desire to join. Dues are 
$3 for the old members, and $8 for new members. 
Last year’s program, authorized by Si Lewis, was one 
that caused the trapshooters of this section to con¬ 
gratulate Mr. Lewis from every standpoint, as it was a 
system remarkably compiled, and every trapshooter who 
attended the League tournaments was wonderfully sur¬ 
prised at the amount of money he received at the tourna¬ 
ment, and especially at the close of the six tournaments. 
The League is in a very flourishing condition, having 
a large treasury, and the year 1910 promises to be one 
of the best in the history of trapshooting. 
Your kind and hearty co-operation is earnestly solicited 
in this good work. Any further information will be cheer¬ 
fully furnished by Charles G. Grubb, Sec’y and Treas. 
Championship of Long Island Sound. 
Port Washington, L. I., Jan. 22.—The championship 
of Long Island Sound, held under the auspices of the 
Manhasset Bay Yacht Club, was the second of these 
contests. The conditions were 100 targets, 16yds., $5 
entrance, three high guns, three trophies. 
This championship was won by the famous expert 
amateur J. H. Hendrickson, of Jamaica, L. I., who is a 
member of the Port Washington Yacht Club. 
Competition was open to any dug situated on Long 
Island Sound or its bays and harbors. 
A stiff wind was blowing across the traps when the 
contest started, which had its effect in low scoring. The 
100 targets were shot in strings of 25. In the first string 
Hendrickson and H. Funke broke 19 each, while T. H. 
Foster broke 21, and H. Clark and L. B. Small each 
scored 20, so that the winner showed little chance to 
pull out ahead at this stage. 
At the end of the second string, Foster was in the 
lead with 44, with Hendrickson second with 41. Smull 
and Clark were still in the running with 40 each. 
In the third string, Foster lost 6. Hendrickson broke 
22 and Clark 23, the three leaders thus tying on 63. 
Hendrickson was gradually swinging into form, and as 
he is a nervy class man,.the strain of competition in the 
last 25 rather improved his scoring, as he broke 24, 
the highest score made by any contestant in any string. 
This made a total of 87, which won; second went to 
Foster with a total 83. Clark was third with 82. Of 
the professionals present, Jack Fanning was high with 87.

Californian Trapshooting. 
San Francisco. —Trapshooting on the San Francisco 
side of the bay promises to be a minus quantity this 
season, for there are now no grounds available for this 
sport anywhere close to a car line. When the season 
closed last September, the old Ingleside grounds, the 
best shooting grounds ever had here by trapshooters, 
were lost to the powder burners. 
The San Francisco Trapshooting Association, _ which 
formerly was a leading factor in this sport, has virtually 
gone out of existence and has disposed of all its prop¬ 
erty. On the Alameda county side of the bay prospects 
are very bright for a successful season. 
The Oakland Gun Club is planning to hold a tourna¬ 
ment, at which prizes valued at $2,000 will be shot for. 
The California Wing Club is considering the advisabil¬ 
ity of fitting up grounds near the powder works in 
Contra Costa county, and if this is done, the regular 
Washington’s Birthday shoot may come off there, or 
mav be postponed for a few weeks. 
There is a proposition on foot to form a San Joaquin 
Valley Trapshooters’ Club, providing a large enough 
percentage of the clubs there will join the organization. 
If this is done a tournament will be held with a meet¬ 
ing in each city represented by a club. A. P. B. 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Jan. 29.—Only three shooters braved 
the howling blizzard that blew directly across the traps 
of the Ossining Gun Club to-day. The targets were 
thrown fully 50yds., and the wind helped some of those 
that got away to the 75yds. mark. 
In event No. 3. D. Brandreth did the nicest piece of 
shooting that has ever been seen on these grounds by 
breaking 25 straight under the most trying conditions. 
His high run was 37. Patrick broke 20 straight and 
Blandford 27. The next club shoot will be on Lincoln’s 
Birthday, when a good turnout is expected. There will 
be eight prizes, and handicaps will be both distance and 
misses-as-breaks. Shooting will start promptly at 2 
o’clock, and entries for prizes will close at 2:30.
