Better Shoot The Red W Combination at Charlotte 
Audubon Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., April 16.—George N. Fish, the Lyn- 
r n u e thresher, is bound to become the sole possessor 
of the Audubon challenge cup, on which he now has 
four wins to his credit, unless the Audubons can call out 
some new stars. 
President Cox and Frank D. Kelsey responded to the 
urgent call for help to put a stop to Fish’s winning, but 
both went down to defeat with the rest, and it is now 
suggested that A. E. Conley, of Hohocton; Tomlinson, 
of Batavia, and Spencer Kellogg, Jr., will come out as a 
last white man’s hope and try conclusions with Fish. 
Yesterday B. V. Covert, of Lockport, was again the 
challenger, being high in events 3 and 4 with 37 out of 
40 to his credit, but the result was the same, as Fish 
again was the victor, rather easily, by 4 targets, scoring 
44 to Covert’s 40. 
Frank Kelsey was right on edge in the badge event, 
and won it with the only straight made in the regular 
events. Frank was also the high man of the day, with 
70 out of 80. Jack Talcott was right up with one more 
miss, and would have had an excellent score had he 
kept up his shooting in the third event. 
Will Imhoff again cleaned up in Class B and has that 
particular badge pinned on his vest with the inscription 
of champion of Class B. 
Charley Rogers, of Lockport, again won Class C, 
making his second win in succession. Dr. Burke will 
have to attend quite regularly hereafter in order to stop 
Rogers. 
Charley Lambert did some very pretty shooting when 
he scored 18 from the 20yd. mark, thereby winning the 
Reed handicap trophy in anything but fair weather con¬ 
ditions. When that event was on there was a regular 
blizzard toying with the targets, which made shooting 
rather difficult. Al. Kelly, who has been compelled to 
absent himself from regular competition for some time, 
made his appearance, but rather late for qualification, 
and it is to be regretted, as Al.’s shooting in the extra 
events was far better than Fish’s, and had he been the 
one to shoot against Fish, the result might have been 
entirely different. He will have revenge in May, and 
threatens that Fish will have to extend himself. The 
Audubons were honored by the presence of Messrs. 
Atwater, Moore and Ward, of the Lockport Gun Club. 
W. G. Simon and Ed. Reynolds also put in appearance, 
and both shot quite well, considering their long absence 
from the traps.

The Fred Macaulay Business Men’s Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., April IS. —It was an enthusiastic crowd 
of marksmen that gathered yesterday afternoon at the 
Speedway traps, to compete in the regular weekly shoot 
of the Business Men’s Gun Club. It was a prize com¬ 
petition, which partly accounts for the twenty-five gun¬ 
ners on hand and ready to contest for the silver loving 
cups that were offered in two of the events. The silver 
cup given by C. W. Feigenspan was captured by A. E. 
Ranney, a new member of the club, who made his 
initial appearance yesterday. A tie between Capt. Frank 
Mihlon, of the Business Men’s Club, and William Ilas- 
singer, of the Smith Gun Club, resulted in the shoot 
for the Du Pont cup. 
In the Feigenspan trophy event, Ranney turned in a 
total of 100, including his handicap. In this event John 
Geiger was the scratch man, and turned in a score of 93. 
In the Du Pont cup shoot, Hassinger and Mihlon tied 
with 50 breaks apiece. The shoot-off will be held next 
Tuesday afternoon. C. W. Billings, the scratch man, 
missed but one of the 50 disks that he shot at. 
The 25-bird match between George Ohl, Jr., and Peter 
Bey resulted in a win for the former, who broke 20, 
which is 10 more than his rival smashed. The scores:

Springfield Shooting Club. 
Springfield, Mass., April 20.—The Patriots’ Day tour¬ 
nament of the Springfield Shooting Club at clay targets, 
which was held on its grounds at Red House Crossing 
all day yesterday, was fairly well attended, thirty shoot¬ 
ers taking part in the various events, twenty-nine shooting 
the entire program, which called for 200 bluerock targets, 
$16 entrance in the sweeps and $25 added money to the 
purses by the club. As a rule, the scores ran high. The 
weather, though quite cool, was favorable for shooting, 
the dull light at times caused the targets to show up in 
fine style, while the absence of any wind to speak of 
greatly favored the shooting. 
The trade was unusually well represented, there being 
present Jack Fanning, Harry S. Welles, H. H. Stevens, 
George Chapin, F. E. H. Sheldon, D. T. Cowing, T. H. 
Keller, Sr., and Jr. 
Amateurs were present from Chicopee Falls, Hartford, 
Leominster, Albany, N. Y., Greenfield, Brattleboro, Vt., 
Flolyoke, Pittsfield, Northampton and New Haven, Conn. 
Professionals were allowed to shoot for targets only. 
A feature of the shoot was a run of 47 straight by W. 
W. Rice, of the New Haven Gun Club. 
There was $75 worth of merchandise prizes for the 
twenty high amateurs shooting the entire program of 200 
targets, and there were more prizes than amateurs com- 
peting. Totals follow
