FOREST AND STREAM. 
Interclub Shooting at Bay Ridge. 
' i ? RO a U< ? h ’* 1c courtesy of the Crescent A. C., tile New 
' or k Athletic gunners ran off their regular events in 
connection with the two team shoots at the grounds of 
the Crescent A. C. Both of the team shoots, which are 
the first of a series of home-and-home matches, were 
won by the New York A. C. In the five-man tri- 
cornered match between New York A. C., Crescent A. C. 
and Larchmont Y. C., the New York A. C. led the other 
two teams by 3 targets, and in the fifteen-man high 
score match between New York A. C. and Crescent 
A. C., the former led by 101 targets. The shooting was 
hard, as a stiff wind blew “steady by jerks” all the 
afternoon, making high scores impossible. Only one 
straight score was shot; that one being pulled through 
by W. J. Elias. 
In spite of the difficulty experienced in hitting the 
ducking and soaring bluerocks, every one had a good 
time and enjoyed the hospitality of the Crescent shooters 
exceedingly:

Trap at Larchmont. 
Larchmont, N. Y., April 3.— At the regular weekly 
shoot of the Larchmont Yacht Club yesterday afternoon, 
eighteen gunners faced the traps. Very good scores were 
made under fair weather conditions. E. A. Wilson 
carried off the honors of the day, for he won five of the 
eight matches. With a score of 14 in the 15-target con¬ 
test he defeated the seventeen other competitors. A. 
Bryan Aliev was the runner up with 13. In the special 
match at 25 targets, Wilson broke all of his clay birds, 
with R. L. Spotts as the runner up, breaking 24. The 
leg for the commodore’s cup also went to Wilson, who 
returned a card of 24, and he won both of the 125-target 
matches—the first a scratch contest, with 112, and the 
second, a handicap, breaking 115 out of the 125. 
R. L. Spotts, shooting against seventeen, won the 10- 
target scratch contest with a full score. He also won 
the leg for the April cup with 22 as his score. The leg 
for the Sauer gun went to Dr. W. B. Short. He tied 
with a full score of 25, W. J. Elias and K. R. Hooker, 
and in the shoot-off he won with another full score. The

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The attendance at the shoot on April 1 was not up to 
expectations, only nine shooters facing the traps. The 
day was partly cloudy, with a strong, chilly wind blow¬ 
ing in the faces of the shooters, causing the targets to 
soar badly, and keeping the scores lower than the average 
for most of the contestants. Several members of the 
Hyde Park Gun Club visited the grounds, and a three- 
man team match was arranged between the two clubs. 
The visitors put up a good race, and in the last round 
led their opponents by two targets, but lost the match 
by a score of 210 to 220. Welsh was high for the visitors; 
breaking a total of S3; Irwin made the highest score in a 
by a total of 83; Irwin made the highest score in a 
single round, missing but one target out of 25. There 
was quite a close race between Hammersmith and R. 
Trimble for first place, the former finally going out with 
3 targets to the good, getting this lead in the first 50 
targets shot at. In the last half of the contest, Trimble 
tied him on 43. On April 9 the well-known experts, 
Messrs. Gilbert, Squier, Young and “Pop” Heikes will 
visit the grounds, and their presence is expected to draw 
a record crowd, if the weather is pleasant. The club 
has applied for a registered tournament, the dates claimed 
being Sept. 22 and 23. In to-day’s scores, 20-Gauge makes 
rather a poor showing; he was using a 20-gauge gun and 
only %o 7. No 1 . 9 shot, a handicap for the kind of con¬ 
ditions that prevailed; with a 12-gauge and trap loads, 
he is an SO per cent, or better shooter.

The Palefaces. 
Boston. Mass., March 29. —Four squads of New Eng¬ 
land’s best shot through the Paleface program to-day, 
and it is a sure guess that many shoots will pass before 
another such spirited contest for high average takes 
place. Looking over the list, at least half of the en¬ 
trants had a look-in for the coveted honor, and not till 
well into the double event did a possible chance present 
itself to pick a winner. Steele, Edwards and Clarke were 
the trio to finally fight it out, the former pair entering 
the last event two targets to the good, and while Clarke 
made a game effort to close in on them, could only re¬ 
duce the lead to one target, Steele and Staples breaking 
even. Naturally, in the tie something had to bust, and 
a prettier shoot-off would be hard to see. Steele started 
in like an expert and ground target after target like a 
year's average winner, and never let up on one, cleaning 
up the 25, while his rival let three go away unscathed. 
George was warmly congratulated for this exceptional 
piece of work, and goes to show what this enthusiast is 
capable of when anywhere near right. 
Tn the added target race, Steele, through his win of 
high average, was ineligible for this, leaving President 
Charles a winner. This being Charles’ fourth win ot 
this match during the five shoots for March, many un¬ 
kind remarks were made, and it is up to the official 
handioapper to get his ax busv before April 5th shoot. 
The doubles brought out Staples’ strong work, 24 in 
all being good enough for any shoot. Steele and Charles 
took second in this event, just a pair less. 
High average for the month was won bv Frank, mak¬ 
ing his second win, and now shoots off with Doc. Clarke 
on April 15 for the final possession of the trophy. This 
will be a dandy event, and no pair of trapshots in this 
section could make any better attraction to watch than 
this pair of trapshooters.

total of 96 breaks. In the April cup that was started,
