New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Island, N. Y.—-The months of inactivity on 
the trap grounds of the New York Athletic Club ended 
for this year on Oct. 16, the season’s competition open¬ 
ing on that day. There was a noticeable falling off in 
the scores of some of the contestants, compared with 
their records of the last season, while some others ap¬ 
peared to hold their good form. There was a stiff 
breeze, which made good scoring a matter of difficulty. 
There was a large attendance to usher in the season's 
competition. 
In the 100-target event, shot in strings of 25, Gus E. 
Greiff and T. C. Durham tied on 96, Greiff winning 
easily in the shoot-off. Scores of the 100-target hand? 
cap, etc., for members only, follow:

Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Oct. 9.—The weekly shoot of the Garfield 
Gun Club was held on afternoon of above date under 
fairly promising weather conditions, aside from an un¬ 
certain wind. However, good scores were made; Kuss, 
as usual, scoring high average for the day with 116 out 
of a possible 125. His high averages were partly due 
to the strenuous competition for first place in each 
event. The following is a synopsis of the day’s events: 
Events: 1 2 3 4 6 6 
Targets: 10 15 25 25 25 25 
Thomas . 9 8 17 20 16 22

Dr Shaw . 8 11 22 23 19 24 
Eaton . 9 17 20 18 .. 
Wm Emfeldt . 14 20 23 25 23 
The club (event 2) and Hunter Arms (No. 3) trophies 
were won by Kuss; the Du Pont (No. 4) by Billy Ein- 
feldt, and the Ballistite (No. 5) by Dr. Shaw, all with 
scores of 24 or 25. Kuss and Einfeldt each shot a per¬ 
fect score in the events. 
Oct. 16.—The cold and threatening weather kept all 
but the regular “regulars” away from the weekly shoot 
of the Garfield Gun Club on afternoon of above date. 
The absence of Thomas was quite a sensation, and it is 
thought that nothing short of a calamity would have 
kept him away. We hope it is not misfortune at least. 
The following scores were made: 
Events: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 
Targets: 10 25 25 25 25 25 25

A merchandise shoot for club .members will be held 
next Saturday afternoon, Oct. 23. No entrance fee will 
be charged and the event is open to all members. 
Event 2 was the club shoot; event 3, the Hunter Arms 
trophy; event 4, Du Pont trophy; event 5, Ballistite 
trophy. _
