t 20. W. H. Heer and J. R. Taylor were close runner 
ps with 191. Heer scored 37 in the doubles, while 
'aylor scored 38, a very superior performance. C. G. 
pencer scored 190, of which 38 were scored in the 
oubles. 
Gilbert decisively showed his superiority, his time be- 
i g quick, his pointing was marvelously precise, and the 
rgets were centered neatly. He won the professional 
.indicap at Columbus last year with a total of 188 out 
' 200, so that his claim to the title is well sustained,

There is already an enormous demand for the

Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, L. I. — On account of the New York State 
shoot taking place on June 8 , 9 and 10, the regular 
second Tuesday of the month shoot of the Bergen Beach 
Gun Club was postponed to June 22. This day was the 
first 1 ° ne of the cycle of days of torrid condition of 
weather, and the light southwest wind did not ameliorate 
the discomfort of the contestants. 
Though the shoot was called at 1 P. M., twenty-eight 
amateurs and the only Francisco Butler, of the ammu¬ 
nition trade, were on hand. 
/The expert traps threw the targets the distance, all 
right, but the wind was so light that the usual con¬ 
ditions on these grounds were made somewhat easier. 
The advent of a few mosquitoes made life uncomfort¬ 
able, as the wind was from the shooter toward the traps 
and the nitro powder smoke simply kept them away from 
the targets. Mrs. Woodruff and Mrs. Schortemeier came 
to look on, but it will be noted that their worse halves 
did not shoot the programme of 150 targets, as the 
ladies did not care to stay. 
Charley Jahn, our caterer of the Cosmopolitan cham¬ 
pionship event, in the past second Tuesdays of October, 
the last three years, has now assumed the management 
of the culinary department of the Bergen Beach Casino 
dining room, and a few of the members called on him 
in the evening and partook of his excellent meals. 
A galaxy of good performers with the scatter gun were 
out to-day, but only ten straights out of 229 attempts at 
15 targets each were made, of which Messrs. Vanderveer, 
Kelly, Dr. Burtis, Harry Bergen and Bob Schneider 
made one each. Mr. Wynne accounted for 2 and 
Schorty drew 3, and the high average, a shade better than 
Over 3,400 targets were trapped. Dr. Burtis came all 
the way from Red Bank, N. J., and Dr. Moeller from 
Nyack. 
Mr. H. P. Fessenden had charge of the office and F. 
C. Schneider refereed in his spectacular style. But one 
set of three expert traps were used. 
The Bergen Beach Gun Club has no Saturday after¬ 
noon shoots during July and August, but the second 
Tuesday contests of July 13 and Aug. 10 begin at 1 P.M. 
Mr. Victor Metz, who has shot but three times, is 
certainly improving, and is right after his big brother. 
Capt. Dreyer felt the hot weather keenly, and his 
scores suffered. John Martin got three 14s, but the 
straights were one shy in the three. Gamy Remsen came 
late and lost only 10 out of 90. Tom Short is improv¬ 
ing right along; Dr. Groll likewise.

ir • , , “bs tLL > vv liunrop, leit last 
week for a six weeks’ fishing trip in the best salmon 
waters of the Provinces. Fred is a speedy Boulevard 
automobilist, but when it comes to fishing, Mrs. Daggett 
has the knack of steering the flies. 6 
J. C. Todd and Fred Whitney are two B. A. A. 
members showing much improved form over the Pale¬ 
face outfit now that the Riverside traps are idle. The 
former is good for 90 per cent, any day, while Mr ’ Whit¬ 
ney has made equal progress since accustoming himself 
to the new gun. 
----- -y'uu a wccKiy snoot arew a 
dozen members on Wednesday June 23. Jack Brinley 
a red W visitor, was high with 88 out of 100 , 48 out 
of his first 50. C. o. Randall, of the home crowd, broke 
OU. 
Friends hereabouts marveled last week at Mrs. Topner- 
wems good work at the G. A. H., Chicago. Congratula¬ 
tions to the little lady. 
We had a nice letter the other day from Frank East- 
man, of Boise, Idaho, former Phillips-Andover graduate 
and a one time steady of the Boston Gun Club. Frank 
is secretary of the Idaho State Sportsmen’s Association 
and reports trap matters booming out West, the recent 
State shoot held at Boise being good proof. 
The Palefaces and the Atlantic City Gun Club meet 
telegraphically either July 14 or 17, whichever pleases the 
Jerseyites. Negotiations are pending between Secretaries 
H. C. Kirkwood and A. H. Sheppard toward an interest¬ 
ing team match at the widely separated points on the 
coast. 
Quite an array of cut-glass is on show for the Pale- 
face July 5 shoot. A number of stay-at-homes arranged 
the programme, and it looks like a sure winner for the 
well appointed grounds. W. F. Clarke has donated two 
beautiful vases for the last 50 targets, and the club has 
put up two water pitchers and two berry bowls for first 
and second with and without handicaps on the 100 
targets. 
Capt. Charles P. Morris, seventy-seven years old, one 
of Charlestown’s old school of sportsmen, died Friday, 
July 25, of heart failure at the Carney Hospital, after two 
years of poor health. Capt. Morris since a boy had been 
an ardent fisherman and hunter, being a well-known fre¬ 
quenter of Maine’s game resorts. He was one of the 
first to recognize the possibilities of the Rangeley re¬ 
gion as a fishing center and for years each succeeding 
spring found him seeking the gamy trout and salmon. 
The funeral took place on Sunday, and interment was 
made at Holy Cross, Malden. 
George Hassam held his second shoot at Wellington, 
Saturday, June 26, and eleven of the thirteen contestants 
qualified for the prize, owing to the liberal handicaps. 
The date for the tie shoot is not yet set, as some of 
those interested are absent from town. For the 100 tar¬ 
gets of the afternoon Charlie Marden and Horace Kirk¬ 
wood had a pretty race, the former losing out in the last 
35. High scores were: Kirkwood 96, Marden 94, Hassam 
93, Dickey 92, Brinley 92, Todd 88 , Clark 87.
