Boston, Mass., Feb. 26.—The excellent scratch score 
of 94 was mad el by R. A. Faye, and was high at the 
shoot of the Boston Athletic Association to-day. A 
strong 6 o’clock wind was something of an interference 
with the best scoring. The 100 targets were shot in 
strings of 25.

Grand Prix. 
The following is taken from the Shooting Times: 
Feb. 11.—The weather was gloriously bright, but 
there was again very little wind to assist the birds when 
proceedings for the Grand Prix were resumed with the 
ninth round. Messrs. Sacchi, Rhode, and Journu each 
missed their ninth bird, and in the following round only 
twelve shooters were left in, viz.: Messrs. Menegolli, 
Morasso, Vigano and Perego, (Italy), Gemander (Ger¬ 
many), Max Bouillon (Russia), De Plagino (Roumania), 
and Dechamps (France), Count Gramedo, Baron Gour- 
gaud, and Baron C. De Woot (Belgium), and Count 
Trauttmansdorff (Austria). Messrs. Max Bouillon and 
Perego were beaten by their 11th bird, after the first- 
named had been shooting remarkably well. Upon the 
deciding round being called, Dechamps, Menegoh, 
Vigano, and Baron C. De Woot scored; Morasso and 
De Plagino missed. The first four places were now shot 
off. Dechamps, failing to kill his 16th bird, took fourth 
place with a score of 15 out of 16; Menegolli missed in 
the 19th round, and De Woot and Vigano were there¬ 
fore left with 19 each. They agreed to divide the first 
and second money and shoot for the championship 
trophy. The first to shoot was De Woot, and his bird 
fell on the wrong side of the boundary. Vigano, how¬ 
ever, killed his pigeon, and thus claimed the champion¬ 
ship with a clean score of 20, against De Woot’s 19 out 
of 20. The ties for the fifth* sixth and seventh places 
were next shot off by twenty competitors. Count 
Czernin (Austria) and Viccari (Italy) having killed 20 
out of 21, agreed to divide the prize money for the 
fifth and sixth, while the seventh honor was carried off 
by Capt. Stratford (England), who had 19 out of 20 to 
his credit. Averdu, with 18 birds out of 20, was classed 
eighth. 
Salem County Rod and Gun Club. 
Salem, N. J., Feb. 23.—The Washington’s Birthday 
shoot on the grounds of the Salem County Rod and 
Gun Club was one of the finest local tournaments ever 
held on the grounds. The prizes were awarded as 
follows: “Hard Luck,” picture No. 1, H. G. Hart; 
“Hard Luck,” picture No. 2, Class B. shooters, John J. 
Hart; rosane vase, Ernest Schubert; year’s subscription, 
Chester Glaspey; club cup and Ballistite and Empire 
trophy, Walton Stewart; Dupont trophy, L. D. Compton. 
The club cup having been won three times by Stewart, 
now remains his property. 
Following the shoot a genuine diamond-back terrapin 
supper was served to the members in the club house. 
Covers were laid for forty-five. The menu consisted of 
oysters, loggerhead diamond-back terrapin and the usual 
“fixin’s.” The table was prettily decorated with designs 
appropriate for the day, even the paper napkins being 
stamped with the time-honored red cherries. Several 
very fine layer cakes were presented by* the lady 
friends, two of which were decorated with very good 
imitation of diamond-back terrapins, made from raisins 
with cloves for the head and stems of the raisins for the 
feet and tail. The top of the diamond-back terrapin were 
used for table decorations and contained salt, pickles, 
olives and other condiments. The club house was hand¬ 
somely decorated with flags, bunting, Japanese lanterns, 
pictures of George Washington, and the legendary 
hatchet and cherry tree. 
After a few toasts, the regular monthly meeting was 
held. New members were elected and Senator William 
Plummer and Assemblyman Ridgway, who were present 
d'seussed the various bills now before the Legislature 
and made notes regarding the changes necessary to suit 
the conditions in this section. They both promised their 
support to the club in the good work it is doing to 
protect and propagate the game and secure suitable 
legislation for South Jersey. 
The spring tournament of the Salem County Rod and 
Gun Club is looked forward to by a large number of the 
shooters in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware as 
the red-letter day in shooting events in this section. A 
feeling of true hospitality seems to prevail when the 
boys get down to Salem, and when they leave, the 
hearty “Come again,” seems to mean more than the 
usual stereotyped phrase that generally follows “Good- 
by.” Well, the date for the tournament has been fixed 
for Thursday, April 14. Put it down on your calendar. 
The club will have something new, down to date, and 
the members promise to send every visitor away with 
thoughts of a pleasant day spent in Salem. V. P.

N. Y. Slafe Sportsmen’s Association. 
Ossining, N. Y.. March 5.—As the Association is 
running its own shoot this year, much local patronage 
will be lost in the way of donations of merchandise 
prizes. An appeal has lately been sent out to constitu¬ 
ent clubs for prizes, returns from which are most grati¬ 
fying. 
A letter was received yesterday from Mr. W. E. Hook- 
wav, secretary of the Onondaga Gun Club, of Syracuse, 
and one of the Association’s most enthusiastic “boos¬ 
ters,” containing the welcome news that we will again 
have a fine piano for first prize in the merchandise handi¬ 
cap in June. A number of gentlemen of the Onondaga 
Gun Club will donate it by subscription. The above club, 
through its secretary, wishes delegates of other Asso¬ 
ciation clubs to come to the convention prepared to 
submit game protection recommendations for the Legis¬ 
lature. Clubs that have not as yet sent notice of mer¬ 
chandise donations, are earnestly requested to do so at 
their earliest convenience.

Passaic County Gun Club. 
Paterson N. T-, March 5.-—The Passaic County Gun 
Club, of Paterson, N. J., will hold their first annual 
s', eepstake shoot on Saturday afternoon, March 26, at 
their shooting grounds, Clifton race track, Clifton, N. J.. 
midway between Passaic and Paterson. To rea ^“ the 
grounds, visitors can get off at Passaic and take the 
Main street trolley north to Clifton race track, or those 
w'ho come to Paterson can take trolley at station, 
transfer to Main street, going south. 
The grounds are situated at the rear of the race track, 
about 4 minutes’ walk on a good macadam road. The 
location is ideal for trapshooting. No obstruction 
hinders the shooter from doing his best work. The 
background gives a clear sky view. 
We have a commodious club house,, 40ft. long, with 
continuous lights, giving a clear view of the whole 
shooting field, which is amply large enough for two sets of 
traps. We have been using three expert traps, which 
have given us entire satisfaction. » 
Since the fire, which destroyed our former beautiful 
club house at Little Falls, N. J., our new grounds are 
in every way far better for trap shooting, and we have 
been looking for better traps. We ordered an automatic 
trap which arrived yesterday, and which will take the 
place of our famous experts; but these will be placed in 
another part for a second set. In attempting this shoot, 
we don’t expect that any of the shooters will accumulate 
a very large bank account, but we expert to gain the 
respect of those who favor us with a visit, so that they 
will come again. Our second attempt will most likely 
be one to bring them all out. Our program for the 26th 
will consist of five 20-target events, $1 entrance in each 
event, making the total entrance $5 for the 100 targets. 
Pres. Doty will give $5 for high averages; $3 to first 
high gun, and $2 for second high gun. A. T. Doty will 
give a second $5 for high averages among the club 
members, especially those who are not considered 
among the best shooters, to be divided $3 to first 
high gun, and $2 to second. 
A committee on prizes expect to add to each event 
at least two merchandise prizes, and more if possible. 
All moneys will be divided according to Rose system, 
one money to each four entries. Professionals shoot for 
targets only. . , . ~ A 
Any one can ship guns or shells prepaid to G. A. 
Hopper, 40 Main street, and they will be delivered at 
the grounds free of charge. 
Programs will be mailed on March 9.

Championship of Metropolitan Clubs. 
The fourth annual championship of metropolitan clubs 
will be held this year on Wednesday, April 6, under the 
auspices of the Montclair Gun Club. 
As in previous years, it will consist of 100 targets, 
scratch, and will be open to all amateurs residing in the 
metropolitan district. 
There will be three trophies for first, second and third 
high guns. 
The first prize will be a heavy gold medal with 14-k. 
fob set with fourteen pearls. Second and third prizes 
will be similar in design, but not quite as great value. 
In addition to these, there will be five 14-k. gold stick 
pins for the club whose representative team shall make 
the highest aggregate score. 
In response to many requests, the grounds will be 
open on Tuesday, the 5th, and what will be known as 
preliminary handicap of 100 targets will be run off. 
Four sets of traps will be used both days. 
In past years, because of the hearty support received 
from the officers and members of the competing clubs, 
this has been the most largely attended tournament 
held in the East, over 180 taking part last year. Pro¬ 
grams may be had by addressing the secretary of the 
Montclair Gun Club, Mr. Edward Winslow, Montclair, 
N. J. E. W. 
Montclair Gun Club.

by Messrs. Bush, Crane, Winslow and Boxall, Crane 
winning out with the low score of 17 breaks.
