New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Island, N. Y., April 16.—The high wind in¬ 
terfered with good scoring, consequently there was a 
falling off in the averages. There was a light attend¬ 
ance. Mr. T. D. Scoble and R. R. Debacher tied on 
24 for the April cup. The former won the shoot-off, 24 
to 21. For the Westley Richards gun, Gus E. Greiff 
was high with 24. G. L. Brady scored 25 for the com¬ 
mittee trophy, two 24s by Eckart and Scoble being second 
high. For the club cup, W. B. Ogden was alone with 25.

The third of 
the tri-club 
series, between the 
York Athletic Club, the Crescent Athletic Club and the 
Larchmont Yacht Club is fixed to take place at Larch- 
mont on Saturday of this week. There was quite an 
attendance on April 16 for practice. Mr. F. H. Schauf- 
fler scored 97 out of 100 for the silver trophy. J. H. 
Vanderveer was second with 96. Mr. F. A. Hodgman 
was third with 95. There was a stiff wind blowing. 
He never misses targets in team races. “Edwards” is 
E. E. Bates. Lambertville, N. J. 
Glover and Apgar were both well pleased, their 
powder and shells receiving the lion’s share of honor.

Capt. 
The Palefaces. 
Alert Gun Club’s Annual Spring Tournament. 
Phillipsburg, N. J., April 9.—Saturday, April 9, 
proved what the Alerts stated in their program—“suc¬ 
cessful tournament, over fifty shooters, including prac¬ 
tice. events; forty-seven shooters in program events, 
and everybody satisfied.” 
With rain in the morning on the 9th, Saturday, which 
kept quite a number of out-of-town shooters away, the 
Alert Gun Club, of Phillipsburg, N. J., “made good” 
even with such a bad feature as rain to run up against. 
Among the professionals present were Hawkins, Glover, 
Welles, Stevens, Apgar, Lewis and Blood. 
Prominent amateurs were present from the States of 
Pennsylvania and New Jersey: and Schlicher from Al¬ 
lentown, gave the finest exhibition of target shooting 
ever seen over these traps by breaking 192 out of 200 
targets, followed by Bates, of Trenton, Edwards and 
.Heil, of Allentown, with each 186 breaks, and third by 
Gary, of Sunnyside, N. J., and Markley, of Easton, Pa., 
each with 180 breaks-out of 200 targets. 
In the professional class Glover was high with 190, 
followed by Welles with 1S5, and Apgar and Stevens 
each with 183 breaks. 
Two ground records were broken during the day by 
Schlicher and Glover, Glover making the highest score 
over these traps at a tournament as a professional, and 
Schlicher as an amateur. Both these gentlemen shot 
targets in such a manner that the crowd followed them 
during the day to see the winner. 
Over 8,000 targets were thrown, and everybody off the 
grounds by 5:30 P. M. 
The lunch served by the club free to the shooters was 
appreciated to such an extent that a great many com¬ 
ments were heard during the day of the manner in 
which the Alert crowd treated everybody both as to the 
inner man and as to the shooting man. 
Without doubt the 1 cent targets, the free lunch and 
the “square deal” given all shooters were appreciated, 
and while the club did not make one cent, it now thanks 
the shooters who were present for their presence, and 
wants to assure them they will get the same thing again 
in our next tournament. 
The team race between the Alert Gun Club, five men, 
and the Lambertville Gun Club, was lost to the Alerts, 
as the following score will show, making two of the 
series of three races a tie, both teams having won one 
race. The deciding race will be shot on the Lambertville 
grounds. The following are the scores of the race, 50 
targets per man: 
Lambertville. Alerts. 
Edwards . 50 Inscho . 45 
Wilson . 44 Keiper . 41 
Barclay . 43 Adams . 44 
Klin°- . 43 Raub, Sr.39 
Moore . 43-223 Markley . 45-214 
Edwards broke 50 straight in this race—nothing new. 
Boston, Mass., April 13.—The fourth shoot on the New 
England distance handicap was held on the Paleface 
grounds to-day with fourteen shooters present. The 
conditions, while not of the finest, were easily better 
than usual, and some of the regulars made good use of 
them. . , , . , , . 
Charlie Marden seemed to be the particular bright light, 
his 94 for the total completely overshadowing by 6 
targets his nearest competitor. His last 50 targets 
showed a clean slate, and it is hard work to tell when 
Charlie’s straight run would have ended if the Boston 
train had not put in an appearance after his last event. 
Clarke, the second average winner, put in some good 
scores, but was unable to overhaul the leader after he 
once secured the lead. 
Wigglesworth and Morse also made good, the for¬ 
mer’s one event showing 7 of his 15 misses. 
Mrs. Park shot a dandy first 50, but somewhat relaxed 
in the second half, due in fact to a decided lack of prac¬ 
tice for the long races. Scores: 
Marden, 17yds.

Monongahela Valley Sportsmen’s League. 
The opening shoot of the sixth season of the Monon¬ 
gahela Valley Sportsmen’s League was held April 15, at 
Jacksonburg, W. Va. The attendance was good, and the 
scores made were satisfactory to all. 
About the middle of the program a storm, which had 
been approaching, burst, and for a couple of hours we 
had to console ourselves by saying, “This will do the 
crops good.” It did not do the scores any good. 
One of the pleasant features of the shoot was the fact 
that some of the ladies of the League are taking up 
shooting. Mrs. L. E. Lantz shot in the storm, breaking 
75 per cent., and missing about all her targets Sn one 
event. 
The trade was represented by Don W. Goshorn, who 
was high over all; Plorace Heikes and Ed. H. Taylor. 
Ed. O. Bower ar.d T. M. McIntyre did not tire of tell¬ 
ing about the greatest shooting park ever, and we will all 
be with them and try it out on April 26 and 27. 
The second shoot of the season will be held May 10, 
at Fairmont, W. Va. Special merchandise events and 
added money will be given as an attraction. 
Scores, each event was at 20 targets:

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., April 16.—Tuesday, April 12, the day 
our monthly shoot was held, was a raw, windy day, 
hence, poor scores. Also this was a handicap shoot. 
Thirty-two shooters took part. 
The Squier money-back plan was used, and it gave 
entire satisfaction. , 
Our spring shoot, to be held May 11 and 12, will be on 
the same plan, with all surplus for average money. 
Mr. L. J. Squier will manage same. Some of the boys 
felt mighty good when time came to pay, especially the 
writer, who only won 84.95, but they got $11 just the 
same, and some were less, but were paid $11, so the 
system must be o.k. Nothing is taken out of the 
purses, so you have the same chance to win. 
The trouble with so many of the shooters is that they 
don’t read the program, so that when time comes to go 
they don’t know what kind of a show they are going to 
get. My advice is, study your program and see whether 
you have any chance to win. „ , T .. . 
Coburn was high amateur with 137. Fred Le Noir was 
high professional with 137. Chas. Shell won the gun 
with 29 out of 30. • 
We want to thank you all for your attendance, and 
hope to see you all back many times. We like your 
company: 
Gadsden Gun Club. 
Gadsden, Ala., April 4.—We have just organized a
