The dates of the Mystic, la., Gun Club’s registered 
tournament have been changed from June 21-22 to 
June 28-29. 
On May 5, at Red Lion, Pa., a fifteen-man team con¬ 
test took place, captained respectively by Messrs. C. T. 
Grove and George McGuigan. Grove’s team won by a 
total of 435 to 391 out of a possible 150 targets. The 
Red Lion Gun Club was recently organized, and this 
team event was a feature of its first tournament. 
* 
The first half of the New York Athletic Gun Club’s 
annual championship was shot on May 7, at Travers 
Island. The day was pleasant. Dr. Culver was high with 
94 out of 100. C. W. Billings was second with 92. Miss 
Annie Oakley was a guest and gave one of her remark¬ 
able exhibitions of skill in shooting. The club pre¬ 
sented her with a medal. The second half of the cham¬ 
pionship contest will be held on May 14. 
The series of Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League con¬ 
tests for the club ten-man team championship was con¬ 
cluded on May 7. The Florist Gun Club team won by

was second with 15 points and 2637 targets. Haddon- 
field, 11 points, 2440 targets. South End, 10 points, 2550 
targets. S. S. White, 8 points, 2614 targets; Meadow 
Springs, 7 points, 2318 targets. In the final contest, 
Kahler and Hamlin broke 50 straight. 
The Southern Handicap was a signal success. The 
entries were large in number and the scores were of a 
high order. Mr Jesse S. Young, of Chicago, on the 
second day, broke 119 out of 120, of which 20 were 
doubles, and Mr. C. M. Powers won the Preliminary 
Handicap with 97 out of 100, from 21yds. On the third 
day, Mr. Young further distinguished himself by win¬ 
ning the Southern Handicap with 96 out of 100. Mr.

A press dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer, dated 
May 7, states that “Miss Annie M. Reiker, of Lancaster, 
and Fred Coleman, of Pottsville, champion live-bird shot 
of 'the State, were to-day matched to shoot at 100 live 
pigeons on Decoration Day afternoon, at Tumbling Run 
Park Miss Reiker will shoot at 28yds. rise and Cole¬ 
man from a handicap of 33yds. Miss Reiker has appeared 
at Tumbling Run in several matches against Coleman, 
the latter winning the last time with the margin of but 
a single bird. Bernard Water* 
Hell Gate Gun Club. 
New YoRK.-This old-time live-bird organization held 
its u^al outing at Schaffer’s Duck Farm Hotel grounds 
last week In® the days gone by the number of con¬ 
tests varied from nine to eleven per year, each at.ten 
birds per man A total of three contests, or thirty 
birds each member, is now and has been held for 
S °The January February and March contests were held 
in January oY’the present year, and the boys visited the 
shooting grounds in March to shoot their April, May 
-md Tune contests. Owing to the scarcity of birds at 
that time, the series was unfinished, and last week saw 
the completion of this series, and the addition «of the 
next series for August, September and October, 1919. 
An even dozen members and two honorary members 
participated in finish of the former series. Messrs. Gar- 
rle 11a and Cresci, the honorary members, accounted for 
?4 each out of 20 shot at. These gentlemen had been 
active members some eight or ten years ago, and their 
lack of practice accounts for their low scores. Some 
the regulars, however, did no better, as the scores sh . 
Gardella and Cresic also scored 12 and 14 respective y 
of a quota of 29 the second day. 
The attendance the second day was augmented by t .e 
arrival of Mr. J. S. Dannefelser, the famous gunsmith, 
who can stock or repair a gun a sight better than he 
ran shoot though he was not low man by any means. 
Over 900 birds were used both days, the main r aces 
being supplemented by extra events, one of which a 
20-bird event, on the second day, was won by Messrs. 
Belden at 28yds. and Schortemeier at 31yds., with 17 out 
of 20 each. Schaffer’s pointer bitch, Belle, did all the 
^The^^eather was superb. Cool the first day, wind 
blowing from the southwest, from the shooter *°, 
5 trap. The second day the wind changed and blew 
from the traps to the shooter very gently, however, 
which made the birds “get up and git, breasting the 
wind for an instant and twisting and driving a mornent 
later, and often were where^ the shooters one and a 
quarter ounces of shot wasn t. , 
Charley Lange was star performer the second day, 
particularly with the first barrel. He totaled -9 of his 
complement of 30, but Pete Garms beat him out for 
first prize by means of his point handicap. 
Fifteen dollars are donated by the club for each series, 
divided $5, $4, $3, $2 and $1; high gun division. In the 
first series, Mr. Kobe Debacher also of the New York 
Athletic Club, was high in both total scored and total 
points made. Belden and President Voss were one bird 
behind, and Bandy and Schorty next. .... , 
The straights were Pierce Brennan in the April event, 
Schorty in the May contest, and Belden for June. 
In the second series the handicaps were changed by 
the handicapping committee, Mr. Debacher being penal* 
ized half a point for his good work in the ^.series, 
John Schlicht going in from 29 to 28yds. rise. Wellbrock 
and Schortemeier were brought in from 32 to 31yds., and 
J. Selg from 4V 2 to 4 points. 
In the second series, the straights were Garms, V oss, 
Lange, Schorty and Meckel in the August contest, 
Belden in the September event and Charley Lange the 
only one in the October contest. In the totals of the 
second series, Lange was high from 28yds. with but one 
miss, Schorty next from 31yds. with two misses, Garms 
from 28yds. with three misses and Voss at 29yds. and 
Meckel at 30yds. next with four misses. In the grand 
total of the two series, 60 birds, Belden, 28yds., scored 
50; Schlicht, 29 and 28yds„ 41; Garms 28yds^ 46; Voss, 
29yds. 52; Lange, 28yds,. 52; Trostel, 28yds 37; Schorte¬ 
meier. 31 and 32yds., 52; Wellbrock, 32 and 31vds„ 41; 
Debacher, 28yds., 45; Meckel. 30yds., 48; Selg 26yds., 27; 
Dannefelser, 28yds., 43, and Bandendistel, 28yds., 43. 
Schortemeier officiated as referee and scorer. Meckel 
and Bandy lost a bird each by their hammerless guns 
failing to cock; hard luck for both, particularly the 
former, as he w-as going strong. Many birds were scored 
with rare judgment and long second-barrel kills by the 
participants. Landlord Schaeffer served excellent meals, 
as usual. , .. .
