Laureate Boat Club. 
Troy, N. Y., May 6 .—The regular weekly shoot of the 
Laureate Boat Club was held to-day. A strong north¬ 
west wind played tricks with the flight of the targets, 
making the shooting very difficult. Despite this un¬ 
favorable condition, good scores were made. Hurd 
shot a strong race, breaking 89 out of 100, winning high 
gun honors for the day. Crowley also shot well he 
scoring 85 out of 100. The feature of the day was the 
shooting of Doc Welling. The genial Doc broke 77 
out of 100 , which is a very good score, considering some 
of the targets he drew. Billy Lee also shot well. 
Bussey won the weekly leg on the club badge, scoring 
lo out of 25. The totals follow:

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., May 7.—W ebster was high gun Saturday 
afternoon at the traps. W. R. Chamberlain was a close 
second. Webster won a leg on the Secretary prize by 
breaking 46 out of 50 from 18yds. This makes the third 
leg he has won. 
Ben Bolen has three wins on legs to his credit. 
Eisner and Bolen shot from 20yds., hence their poor 
scores. 
The big shoot in July promises to be a crackerjack 
from all that is heard. July 12 will be preliminary day 
V, lth a nJ 00 ‘ bi . rd P ro & rarn , entrance $10, purses divided 
40, 30, _0 and 10. 1 he next three days will call for 200 
targets each day. The 14th and 15th will have a 50-bird 
handicap race, $5 entrance. The last three events will 
make 50 birds each day, 16 to 20yds., purses divided 30, 
o’ r P urses > n the regular events, Rose system, 
8 , 5, 3, 2. Average will count on 500 targets in the 
regular events for the 13th, 14th and 15th. The money- 
back plan will be used on these days, counting on 500 
targets; iy 2 cent a target will be given or added to 
pay losses and for average money. After paying losses, 
there will be better than y 2 cent a target for average 
money. If we have 100 shooters, there will be $750; if 
we have 200, there will be $1,500; if we have 400, there 
will be $3,000. After paying losses, there would be more 
than $1,000 for average money. Think of the possibili¬ 
ties of such a shoot, and it is going to be held as ad¬ 
vertised. Some call it the Ohio G. A. H. It may be a 
better one than the G. A. H. We hope it will be as 
good. It will be open to the world.
