Bridgeburg Gun Club. 
The opening shoot of the Bridgeburg Gun Club, of 
Buffalo, was held on the afternoon of the 8th and was 
successful. The announcement that the feature of the 
afternoon would be a live-bird event attracted a large 
audience. Among them being many who used to shoot 
pigeons in years gone by. Otto Besser, former cham¬ 
pion of the city, was present, and showed a clipping 
which contained the history of the Dean Richmond 
trophy and the winning teams, of which he was a mem¬ 
ber on different occasions. A. E. Story, W. R. Eaton, 
Billy Daw. Johnnie Storck and Joseph Gohn were a’so 
in attendance, and many story of trapshooting was re¬ 
hearsed. 
Jack Reed, of the Audubons, proved himself to be 
some pigeon shot when he scored 15 out of 16. Jack 
uses both barrels on every bird whether hit with the 
first barrel or not. 
Court, Renn Spaulding and Mayor Reed, of Lacka¬ 
wanna City, were all tied with 11 out of 16. 
This was Spaulding’s maiden effort, and for a be¬ 
ginner he surely will bear watching. 
The Sidways, Clarence and Ralph, also tied with 13 
each. Both are excellent live-bird shots, and their score 
shows several marked dead out of bounds, showing that 
they had a little of the hard luck. 
President Patterson also shot well, and announced 
that it was the club's intention to hold a live-bird event 
at least once a month, fin Friday next they will have 
an all-day target-shoot. Summaries:

G. W. Chesley had an average of 197^4 for thirteen matches; Capt. 
A. L. Laudensack, 196}4 for fourteen matches, and Capt. W. H. 
Richard, 198 9 for nine matches. Capt. Richard’s average for 100 
shots would be equal to 
24931 By the German Ring Count. 
These scores are phenomenal and without a parallel. They tell a 
convincing story of the wonderful degree of perfection attained in 
the manufacture of Winchester Cartridges and Rifles.

This club is the oldest wing shooting club in the 
United States. Some of the leading shotgun experts in 
the world have shown their skill in past years at the 
trap shoots of this organization. The club is on record 
as an association for the encouragement of the sport of 
wing shooting, the promotion of field sports with gun 
and dog, and as a factor in the observation and enforce¬ 
ment of the game laws of the State. 
The Exposition City Gun Club lias been formed here 
and will hold its opening shoot at the Presidio grounds 
on April 23. A McCrea trap has been installed, and the 
grounds put in fine shape. 
The Bay View Gun Club, of Alameda also opened the 
season on April 2, but the high wind prevailing made 
shooting conditions unsatisfactory.
