FOREST AND STREAM 
[April g , 1910 
Troy Tournament. 
Troy, N. Y., April 3.—The Laureate Boat Club, of this 
citv opened their club house and grounds for the sea¬ 
son of 1910 by holding a two-day registered trapshooting 
tournament on Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2. 
The weather conditions were ideal for both days, and 
good scores were in evidence. 
A large number of spectators, among whom were 
many ladies, witnessed the shooting. On the first day 
H. L. Brown, broke 194 out of 200 targets, and captured 
high gun among the professionals. 
The high amateur averages were \\#m by the following 
gentlemen: First, A. E. Conley, of Cohocton, N. Y.; 
he shot a very pretty race and broke 190 out of 200; 
second H. FI. Valentine, of Albany, 185 out of 200; third 
R. G. Wheeler, of Syracuse, 184; fourth, J. B. Sanders, 
of Albany, 182. 
Among the gunners was Mr. H. E. Peck, from North 
Dakota. He shot a very good race and broke 179 out of 
200 . . 
The second day opened up with bright sunshine. The 
boys all felt good. The shooting began at 10 A. M. 
When the smoke cleared away it was found that Jack 
Fanning, had captured high gun among the professionals 
for the day. He scored 186 out of 200. 
The high amateur averages were won hv R. G. 
Wheeler, 180 out of 200; A. E. Conley, 177; IF. H. Valen¬ 
tine, 175, and J. B. Sanders, 174. 
The high professional average for the two davs was 
won by H. L. Brown, he scoring 375 out of 400. The 
high amateur average for the two days was won by A. E. 
Conley, he scoring 367 out of 400. 
In the Laureate handicap, C. G. Blandford, of Ossining, 
won the imported French target pistol; Mr. H. W. 
Smith, of Syracuse, received the Cook's shooting glasses; 
C. A. Reamer, of Rutland, Vt., won the leather gun 
case, and T. Borne, of Schenectady, secured the Hunter 
Arms Co. vase, while J. B. Sanders, of Albany, got a 
fine pair of tennis shoes; the other winners each re¬ 
ceived a Lefever gun cleaner. 
Mr. H. FI. Stevens had charge of the office, and he 
performed the duties in his regular efficient manner. 
The scores for the two days follow; 
April 1, First Day.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., April 3. —The Analostan Gun 
Club, of this city, held the opening shoot yesterday. 
The day was beautiful—like summer, with scarcely a 
breath of wind to mar the flight of the targets. The 
boys were enthusiastic and twenty-five toed the mark. 
The scores made were creditable, the targets being 
thrown 60yds. 
We had with us Linn Worthington, and his score of 
94 certainly demonstrated his skill as a marksman, and 
the excellence of his company’s product. Harry Over- 
baugh was also with us, and for a while it looked as 
though he was going to tie up with Linn, but on his 
last 25 he had one of those “bad half hours” that you 
'hear of among shooters, and this put him to the bad, as 
Linn cracked out 24, while Flarry connected with only 19. 
Phil Steubener was there with the goods, scoring 91 
out of his 100. Jos. II. Hunter is shooting consistently, 
on this occasion scoring 68 out of 75. Dr. Cobev had bad 
luck in his first frame, but out of his last 75 dropped 
only 6. Fie is a new man at the business, but I look 
for’him to lead the club this year. 
Di>. Stine and Monroe did good work, and while some 
of the boys did not show up so well, they had just as 
much fun as the topnotchers. Following are the scores 
made during the afternoon:

Buffalo Audubon Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., April 2.—Beautiful weather con¬ 
ditions prevailing, an excellent afternoon’s sport was 
enjoyed by our members. Wright again demonstrated 
that ’he is a past-master at smashing targets by breaking 
59 out of 60, and consequently becoming owner of the 
beautiful C. S. Sidway trophy with a grand total of 
281 out of 300 targets in five shoots. Dr. Wootton was 
runner-up with the good score of 277. 
The Audubon Club accepted a challenge from the 
Stanleys, of Toronto, and will probably journey there 
some Saturday this month.

Hudson Valley Rod and Gun Club. 
Secretary J. A. Norton, under date of April 1, sends 
us the following: 
At the annual meeting of the Hudson Valley Rod and 
Gun Club, held last evening, at Hotel Cunningham, 
Hudson Falls, N. Y., the following officers were elected 
for the ensuing year: President, F. B. Chapman; Vice- 
Presidents, William L. Sherill and Fay Newell; Secre¬ 
tary, J. A. Norton; Treasurer, H. T. Brown; Assistant 
Secretary and Treasurer, W. Harold Adamson; Field 
Captains, E. Wiltsey and J. N. Ingalsbe. Mr. Sherill 
will be in charge of the fish and game department of the 
organization, while Mr. Newell will direct the shooting 
department. 
Resolutions were adopted paying tribute to the memory 
of the late Dr. Rudolph De Roode, president of the club. 
The Fludson Valley Rod and Gun Club is Wne of the 
most prominent sporting organizations of northern New 
York. Its membership, including those who were ac¬ 
cepted last evening, is above the half hundred mark, and 
indications lead to the belief that before the present 
season comes to an end the organization will be materi¬ 
ally strengthened. Steps are now being taken toward 
incorporation and it was decided last evening to take 
an active part in the enforcement of laws having to do 
with the protection of fish and game. A committee has 
been appointed to investigate the advisability of estab¬ 
lishing a rifle department, and to report at the next 
meeting of the club, which will be held in Glens Falls 
on April 11. 
The annual trapshooting tournament will be held on 
the Boulevard range, Aug. 12, and will be participated 
in by a number of prominent shots from out of town. 
Cincinnati and Vicinity. 
— 
Harrison Gun Club. 
The Harrison (O.) Gun Club has just finished its new 
house on the new grounds, located about two squares 
from the railroad station and only five minutes’ walk 
from the center of the business section of the town. If 
there is a club with a more convenient location, the 
writer has yet to hear of it. On April 9 the club will 
give an all-day money and merchandise shoot as a 
sort of house-warmer, and has issued an invitation for all 
trapshooters to attend. The program is short and reads 
pretty good. Three 10-target events in the morning, 
with ’50 cents entrance in two of them, three moneys— 
50, 30 and 20 per cent.—and $1 fee in the other, purse 
divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. At 12:30 the merchan¬ 
dise events will be started, two at 15 and two at 20 
targets, with forty-five prizes offered in the four events, 
valued at from 50 cents to $5 each, and two high and two 
low average prizes. If the shooter enters for the four 
events the fee is $3; but he may enter in one or more 
events at a cost of $1 for each event. Luther J. Squier 
will have charge of the office, so no shooter need to be 
afraid of losing his train because of delay in the cashier’s 
department. In case of bad weather the shoot will be 
held a week later. 
Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Not much doing at the grounds on April 2, but a 
couple of the members went out to help Supt. McFee 
entertain Charley North, of Cleveland, who was here 
on business and pleasure. A few targets were trapped 
during the afternoon, McFee missing but 2 out of 50. 
The club would like to arrange a series of team matches 
with clubs of this section, and is ready to take on a 
match at any time, the “sooner the quicker.” Team 
matches seem to be about the only thing which will 
attract a crowd around here, and a crowd is what is 
needed at a club shoot. In the 50-target event to-day 
McFee scored 48, North 45, Conley 25, Feister 45. 
Hyde Park Gun Club. 
Twenty-three shooters at a regular club shoot is a 
pretty big crowd for these parts in these days; but that 
was the number which went out to the club’s grounds 
on April 2, and kept the trap boy hustling until dark. 
The day was perfect, a continuation of the fine weather 
enjoved during the past month. Besides the usual prac¬ 
tice events there was a 50-target event,, entrance $1, 
with a leather traveling bag as the prize. This event 
had ten entries and was won by E. Reif on a score of 
47. At the close of the first round Dameron and Rugg 
were tied for high on 24. and Reif was considered to be 
cne of the “also" rans,” but in the last round, the favor¬ 
ites ran up against a snag, and dropped out of the 
running, while the “dark horse” came in a winner with 
25 straight. Reif can certainly shoot a little bit when 
he has an incentive to do so. Hammersmith, Stickells 
and Francis also made a good finish, breaking 24 each. 
De Mar, usually one of the club’s leaders, was off to¬ 
day and- dropped to a 68 per cent. gait. The club trophy 
series was renewed to-day, Keplinger, who has been 
holding the trophy all winter, having won the last event 
in the fall, was given a hard race for high honors in 
actual breaks by W. Jenkins, the latter finishing only 
one target behind with 23. Reif was second with 22. In 
the Du Pont trophy contest, also shot for the first time 
this season, Keplinger made by far the best showing, 
breaking 48, Jenkins being his nearest competitor with 
44. The handicaps in these two events are added tar*' 
gets, based on the average of each shooter in the 
previous event. Work on the rifle range will be started 
at once. It was decided to have the revolver range back
