Baltimore Annual Amateur Shoot. 
Baltimore, Md., March 18.—Under the most trying 
conditions, the annual shoot promoted by Messrs. Geo. 
P. Mordecai and Basil Wagner opened at Prospect Park 
on the 16th. Close on to seventy well-known amateur 
and professional marksmen faced the traps. The at¬ 
tendance, while not as large as last season, was consid¬ 
ered exceedingly large under the circumstances, and 
over 10,000 targets were thrown during the running off 
of the different events on the program. 
The most skilled shots at the park found it a difficult 
task to lacate the flying clay birds, which were, as a rule, 
taken out of their course by the wind, which swept over 
the grounds. Lester German, the well-known crack 
shot from Aberdeen, Md., who' has been one of the lead¬ 
ing factors in the hig shoots through the country, was 
at the top of the professionals at the conclusion of the 
day’s sport. His total was 168 breaks out of a possible 
200. J. Mowell Hawkins, the local expert, was the win¬ 
ner of second honors with a total of four less. George 
L. Lyons was a close third with one target less than 
Hawkins. Straight runs were a scarcity, as T. H. 
Keller, of New York, and German were the only two 
men to run through an event without a single miss. In 
a 20 -bird race the pair went through with a clean per¬ 
formance. 
In the amateur 50-bird race the honors were won by 
Guy Leister, of Westminster. Three finished a tie. Ed¬ 
ward, of Philadelphia, and Street, of this city, finishing 
with the same score—54. In the shoot-off, however, 
Leister outshot his rivals, having a score of 20, while 
Edwards and Street each made IS. 
The scores of the first day were as follows:

The second day the weather conditions were much im¬ 
proved. The wind subsided considerably and the day 
was ideal for good shooting. Sixty marksmen competed 
for the prizes in the different events throughout the day. 
The feature of the program was the Maryland Handicap, 
which was won by Porter E. Osborne, who broke 86 out 
of 100 targets. In addition to being presented with a 
sterling pitcher valued at $50, he took down $107. 
W. M. Foord, of Wilmington, won high amateur aver¬ 
age, while J. W. Ewing was second. Low amateur av¬ 
erage went "to George P. Mordecai. Harry E. Buckwal¬ 
ter, of Philadelphia, was high amateur at targets shot 
during the meet. Walter T. Harvey, who was to have 
shot through the program, was injured in an accident. 
The boys shot until dark before the regular events were 
finished, and enjoyed the sport immensely. There was 
lots of money taken down in the different events. Phil 
Steubner, of Bladensburg, won $47.90; Frank Gosnell, Jr., 
a novice, $57.70; Tomlin, $52.S5; G. D. Diffendal, $41, and 
Fred Coleman, $16. 
The Maryland Handicap was won last year by Wol- 
stencroft, of Philadelphia. Shooting from the 19yd. stake, 
he broke 92 targets. Lester German, George Lyon and 
Emory Storr shot splendidly. To-day’s scores follow:

Meadow Springs Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, March 19.—Class shooting brought out 
a fairly good field at Fifty-seventh and Lancaster avenue 
vesterday afternoon and every member of the Meadow 
Springs Club had enough to, keep him busy throughout 
the afternoon. The condition called for _5 targets* 
handicaps added with the gunners divided into two 
classes, A and B. Two spoons were offered for the 
respective high men in each class. Hogan,, with 23, won 
the dipper offered for the A men, he breaking 23 straight 
and shooting from scratch rise. Coyle, who won the 
prize, made the best score of the day, but he was aided 
by his handicap in reaching this honor. He broke -- of 
his 25 birds and the two allowed him for a handicap 
Class.
