Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Bergen Beach, L. I.-The final contest for the Clinton 
R. James prizes took place on Tuesday, March 8, at 
the club grounds, Avenue N and 71st str ® e L Biooklyn. 
Thirty-seven shooters participated in the club and extra 
events, and approximately 5,000 targets were thrown, 01 , 
to be more precise, 4,885 was the exact number of 
singles delivered from the two batteries of expert t. r aP s ' 
Sergeant system under the supervision ot “resident 
Bergen, who found but little time to shoot. Sam Shor„ 
refereed the main event. Billy De Long scored, as¬ 
sisted by Fenwick Bergen. . , , 
Capt. Dreyer did yeoman’s service here, there ana 
everywhere, as usual. , 
The shoot was scheduled to start at one o clock, but 
entries did not arrive until after two oclock, and the 
last shot of the day was fired at 5:45 P. M. 
The weather was not bad, but a stiff wind veering 
from northwest to southwest, fluky at times, made the 
flight of the targets rather irregular. The wind moder¬ 
ated toward the late afternoon, and scores improved. 
The secretary had charge of the office, assisted by 
Billy De Long, taking entries. Nearly 4,000 shells were 
sold by Treasurer Dreyer and President Bergen. 
Voorhees and Kelly accounted for the only 15 straight 
in the 15-bird events. Kelly and Westfall shot in fine 
form, the former getting the only 24 in the extra events. 
Westfall accounted for three 23s. Brown smashed two 
23s, and Kelly, Gaughan and Rowland, one 23 each. J. 
H. Vanderveer made a 24 in the first half of the club 
event, and totaled the high score of the day in that 
event, a 45. Singular to note that no 22s or 23s were 
made in the main race, and only nine 21s. One hundred 
and twenty scores were made in the 25-bird extra events, 
and the secretary made the only straight, but that was 
on the easy set of traps. Instead of the nine prizes 
offered, the club added three more, making a total of 
twelve. In Class A, Schortemeier took first, a valuable 
cut glass two-piece cheese dish, cover and platter, the 
cover being about eight inches long—the limburger will 
surely be safe now. This win relegates him to the 
19yds. mark in the next series. Mr. J. H. Vanderveer, 
high man in Class B, at 17yds., selected a beautiful heavy 
cut glass comport. He goes to Class A at 18yds. the 
next time. Mr. A. E. Hendrickson, the life of any and 
every shoot he attends, graduated from the Kindergarten 
Class to the B Class at 17yds. by winning a heavy oval 
cut glass dish, a handsome piece of work. 
The three first prize winners totaled respectively 8b, 
86 and 81. Mr. G. S. K. _ Remsen selected a silver 
candelabra of good size as his prize in Class A, with a 
total of 80. Capt. Dreyer, winner of second in Class B, 
picked out a set in sterling silver of three pieces, butter 
knife, sugar shell and gravy ladle. His total was 76. 
Al. Evans with 75 was third in Class B. He also took a 
sterling silver set of two pieces, butter knife and sugar 
shell. Wellbrock, Victor and Schreyvogel tied on 77 in 
Class C for second choice, shot it off at 25 targets each 
and finished in order named, taking respectively a set 
of half-dozen sterling silver oyster forks, a carving set, 
and a half-dozen sterling silver individual salt cellers. 
Mr H. J. Montanus selected a sterling silver cake knife 
with his score of 76; Mr. R. Morgan, with 75, a set 
of sterling silver afternoon coffee spoons, and Mr. F. H. 
Thoben, with 72, a silver smoking set with tray. 
Our next monthly event will take place on Tuesday, 
April 12, beginning at 11 A. M., the proceeds of which 
will be donated to the N. Y. S. S. A. yearly tournament 
at Syracuse in June, to consist of added money to the 
Greater New York cup of sterling silver, which was 
given by the trapshooters of Greater New York to the 
N. Y. S. S. A. last year through the Bergen Beach 
Gun Club. The programme will consist of 200 targets, 
100 sliding handicap and 100 at 16yds. If the attendance 
justifies, the entire three sets of traps will be brought 
into requisition.

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O.—The value of a team match as a means 
to draw a crowd was demonstrated at the Hyde Park 
Gun Club’s grounds on March 12, when the first of a 
series between that club and Northern Kentucky was 
pulled off. Twenty-four shooters faced the traps that 
afternoon, and as many more spectators watched the 
sport. Over 1,200 targets were trapped during the 
afternoon. Mr. E. Frohliger acted as referee and scorer 
for the team event, doing his shooting before and after 
the contest. The first round of the match was close, 
the visitors securing a lead of only two targets, 97 to 
95. In the last half of the contest they came out ahead 
by 11 targets, winning the match by 13 targets, 203 to 
190. Not a man on either team shot up to his average, 
a strong incoming wind being responsible, causing the 
targets to fly in anything but the regulation manner. 
High individual score was made by Dr. Leighner, of 
Hyde Park, 43, about 10 per cent, below his usual mark. 
De Mar, of the same team, was second with 42, and he 
also shot far below what he generally does. Something 
was certainly wrong when Rugg could make only 70 
per cent, and Stevenson going a 64 per cent, clip, and 
they needed to do some explaining. In the 50-target 
event, both did much better, Rugg getting 94 per cent. 
Dr. Phillips was a long way from being in form. 
On the Northern Kentucky team, 41 was high score, 
and was made by Dea, Keefer and Hammersmith, not 
one of whom but is capable of mtich better work. The 
latter, especially, is always counted on for better than 
90 per cent. Dameron, who has been traveling in 
classy company for the past several months, and break¬ 
ing well up in the 90s, had evidently left his shooting eye 
on the other side of the river, in old “Kaintuck,’ for 
he couldn’t seem to connect with the mud saucers to 
any great extent after the match started, though before 
that, at practice, he broke 24 out of 25. 
Ralph Trimble, who has not been doing much shoot¬ 
ing for some time, was out to-day and set a pace none 
could follow, 49 out of 50. Rugg and Haladay followed 
him pretty closely, each breaking 47 in the event, which 
shows that the former can break ’em. Hammersmith, 
in this event, was also in better shape, getting 92 per 
dent., a score which was tied by Reif. 
At the first sign of spring, Keplinger got into the 
game again, and came out to the grounds in his big 
car. His winter’s rest has had no bad effect on his 
shooting ability, and he broke 90 per cent, in the 50- 
target event, getting 87 per cent, for the afternoon at 
175 targets. 
The boys were disappointed by the absence of Pop 
Heikes, but illness in his family prevented his at¬ 
tending. Eustis didn’t do quite so well as he knows 
how, but he drew rather more than his share of acute 
left angles at the Ideal trap, and couldn’t locate them 
quickly enough. Some one said that John Payne was 
better at live birds than at targets. There’s no ques¬ 
tion about his skill at the former sport, and it looked 
to-day like he was going to qualify as an expert at the 
clay pigeon game. Don’t pick him for an easy mark, 
unless you’re willing to pay for your experience. 
The return match will be shot on the Northern Ken¬ 
tucky grounds on March 20. The club is willing to 
entertain a proposition for a team match from any club 
in this section, and would particularly like to meet 
representatives of Cincinnati Gun Club on the firing line. 
The plan of making a 100-yard rifle range is being 
seriously discussed, and will be carried out this sum¬ 
mer without doubt. This should be the means of adding 
to the club membership, and will eventually help the 
target shooting sport. The scores: 
Team match, five men on a team, 50 targets per man:

ness on his last 35 targets, when it was plainly evident 
he started to win out. Higginson and Kirkwood tied 
for second place, both having a couple of bad events 
that played havoc with their chances. 
Charles was a good third, with Charlie Marden a 
target behind, for fourth. 
The Harvard College team shot in good form, and bid 
fair to give their intercollegiate brothers a race when 
it comes to the annual race next May if present scores 
are any criterion.

Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City. N. T., March 11.—Quite a bunch of 
the bovs came out this afternoon to get in a little prac¬ 
tice and to welcome the genial trade representative, Mr. 
H L Brown. The scores were very satisfactory, con¬ 
sidering the hard target thrown; the targets had good 
angles, but seemed inclined to get away quick and to 
drop over the 55vd. line. -r> 
It was a close race between Cook, Westcott, Powers 
and Brown. , „ , . . . , . 
Don’t forget the Easter Monday, 28th inst., shoot, to 
be held on the grounds of the Atlantic City Gun Club. 
The program calls for 200 targets. The last three events, 
60 targets, constitute the merchandise event. First prize, 
a $70 gun; second prize, $27 gun; third, $10 gold watch fob; 
fourth, bath robe; fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth $5 
each. One dollar will be charged to contest for these 
prizes, making the net entrance for the day $5. For those 
who wish to enter, there is an optional sweep of $1 on 
each event, and a special optional on each 100 targets ot 
$5, high gun; the $1 sweep will be divided 40, 30, 20, 10 
^Don’T forget that Easter Monday is a holiday, and that 
we will be glad to have you with us. j i t.- 
Quite some enthusiasm was displayed in I hiladelpma 
during the shoot given by the Keystone Shooting League, 
regarding the $300 cup on display at Keim s, 1227 Market 
street, to be contested for at the New Jersey State sho . 
to be held here in June. It sure is worth coming down 
after. Scores:
