A Montgomery County (Pa.) correspondent writes: 
“The Jenkintown Gun Club has reorganized and will 
in the future be known as the Mineral Spring Gun Club. 
The club house and all equipment have been moved 
from Abington to near the Mineral Spring plotel, at 
Willow Grove, and this place will in the future be the 
permanent headquarters of the club. Many expert wing 
shots and target men are identified with the organiza¬ 
tion.” 
The fourth annual registered shooting tournament of 
the Keystone Shooting League will be held April 11 
and 12 at Holmesburg Junction, Philadelphia, under the 
new interstate system. The program each day will con¬ 
sist of ten 15-target events, and calls for a $15 entrance 
fee daily. Each event calls for $1.40, with an additional 
$1 on the Squier “money back” system, and an optional 
sweepstakes of $1 each event. By this method each 
shooter knows exactly what his day’s shooting will cost, 
and those who do not want to shoot for money will be 
able to get through on $4.00 a day. An additional 
event, known as the Keystone championship will be de¬ 
cided, two extra events, at 25 targets apiece, being 
tacked on the end of each day’s program. The Key¬ 
stone League donates $50 in prizes for this event, the 
money to be divided $25 to high gun, $15 to second and 
$10 to third. The Inter-State Association also donates 
$100 in money, to be awarded in the regular program, 
one-half on each day. All shooters in the regular and 
Keystone events will shoot from the 16yds. mark. The 
tournament will be managed by J. H. Anderson, with 
Luther Squier in charge of the office and Charles North 
taking care of the traps. 
Registration Under the New I. A. Policy. 
Pittsburg, Pa .—Editor Forest and Stream: We have 
received several inquiries from gun clubs located in the 
Rocky Mountains, Intermountain and far Western 
States, as to whether they may charge more than 2 cents 
per target, and still have their tournaments registered 
under our new policy. For the benefit of all concerned, 
we would stale that our new policy does not in any way 
interfere with any old established custom, and inasmuch 
as gun clubs in the sections named are compelled to 
pay very much more for targets (due to excessive freight 
rates, etc.) than is paid by gun clubs in the more fav¬ 
ored parts of our country, said clubs may charge up to 
3 cents per target and have their tournaments registered. 
We would suggest, however, when more than 2 cents 
per target is charged contestants, that the entrance fee 
be increased to $1.50 per event, to meet the changed 
conditions.

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Feb. 11.—This was a fine day, the sky being 
clear and the sun shining bright, so that thirteen 
shooters were tempted to try their skill at the traps, 
while the glare of the sun on the white blanket of snow 
made it hard on the eyes. 
In event No. 1, Stannard took first honors with 49 
out of 50, Matthews being a close second with 4S. 
Taggart was high amateur with 44, while MacLachlan 
and Goldsmith were next in line, each breaking 43. 
MacLachlan was high on the doubles in event No. 2 
with 29, Fox was second with 25, while Taggart brought 
down 24. Stannard and Matthews certainly shot a good 
race, each breaking 97 out of 100, and then in an extra 
frame of 25 Stannard went through without a miss, 
while Matthews lost one. 
Goldsmith was well pleased with his 83 per cent, after 
more than a year’s lay-off from the traps.

Feb. 12.—The prospects for a busy year at the traps 
certainly look good when thirty enthusiastic shooters 
turn out on a day such as we had to-day, dark and 
gloomy, with a drizzling rain coming down part of the 
time, but this did not dampen their ardor in the least, 
and despite the poor light the scores ran quite high and 
several remarkable good ones were hung up. 
J. R. Graham was shooting in great form, and if he 
keeps up the same gait at Kansas City this week he 
will make any of them hustle. He broke 99 out of 100 
singles, the first 50 from 20yds., breaking 49, and then 
broke his 50 straight from 16yds., and then 5 from 
23yds., finishing up with 5 more from 26yds. He also 
broke 38 out of 40 in the event of 20 pairs. 
In event No. 1, Peck was second with 47, Clancy 
third with 45, while PI. Dunnill and R. Winters each 
broke 44. 
Graham took the honors in the double event at 20 pairs. 
Peck again came in second with a score of 31, and H. 
Dunnill was third with 28. 
B. Donnelly shared first honors with Graham in the 
third event, each making 25, Flewelling, Peck and 
Clancy 24. 
In event No. 4, Graham again went straight, Thwaite, 
Dr. Robb and Clancy tied for second on 24, Flewelling 
and Peck each bringing down 23. Peck was going at a 
good steady clip, getting one 25, three 24s and four 
23s, giving him 94 J /2 per cent, on 200 singles. All the 
boys were glad to see Flewelling out to-day after his 
long siege with rheumatism. 
Mr. C. E. Campbell, of London, England, and three 
times winner of the Grand Prix at Monte Carlo, France, 
was with us to-day, this being the first time he shot 
at targets, and said it is quite a different style of shoot¬ 
ing from that which they do on the other side of the big 
pond. 
This was Donnelly’s first visit to our grounds, and 
there is no doubt but that if he comes over oftener in 
the future he will be up among the top-notchers. 
Apperson was not shooting up to his usual form.

Event 7 was at 12 pairs. Event 10 was shot from the 
23yds. mark. 
Feb. 13.—Seven shooters came out to the pane. The 
drizzling rain and fog failed to scare them out. Fether- 
ston was just about right to-day, as a score of 98 out 
of 100 on a day such as to-day is certainly going a 
steady clip, especially when you consider that he shot 
the last frame from 19yds., where he dropped one target 
and broke the last five from 23yds. Cutler was hot on 
Fetherston’s heels in the first 100, he smashing 95 out 
of the IOO with a new pump. Mrs. Fetherston did fine, 
too, getting 21, a 19, 16 and 15. Mrs. Cutler was 
jubilant over her success of making the best scores she 
has had so far, getting one 15 and two 13s.

Frontier Rod and Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 15, —The regular shoot of the 
Frontiers opened with fair weather conditions yesterday 
afternoon. A large and enthusiastic attendance was on 
hand to see the sport and twenty-nine gunners faced 
the traps, both of which worked to perfection. 
Eichberg and Dewald tied for high gun with 78 per 
cent. Wakefield, W. J. McKenna and E. Bidell won the 
points in the trophy race, while Suckow, Dewald and 
Kamman at 18yds., and Eichberg at 19yds. tied in the 
gun race with 19. After a very interesting shoot-off 
Dewald won with 20 broke. In the club match race 
the reds were victorious over the greens by eleven birds. 
The feature of the day was a 100-bird race between M. 
T. McKenna and 
William Boyer, 
with 
McKenna a 
winner by a small

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Feb. 14.—Twenty-two shooters faced 
the traps at the Ossining Gun Club grounds on Lincoln’s 
Birthday. An overcast sky made the light very bad, 
which accounts for the poor scores made by some of 
the shooters. Event No. 1 was a fifty-bird handicap 
event for nine prizes, and event No. 2 was a 100-bird 
scratch event for tlie Poughkeepsie punch bowl. The 
conditions of the punch bowl event are 300 birds, scratch; 
200 have been shot at. The third and last 100 will be 
shot at on Feb. 22. The scores:
