* ® AVE * S Island, N. Y., April 23.—Gunners of the New 
York Athletic Club ended their regular shooting season 
in a blaze of glory at Travers Island yesterday. The 
program for the afternoon included the final legs of both 
the interclub shoot against the Crescent Athletic Club 
and the tri-club shoot against both the New Moon 
gunners, and the experts of the Larchmont Yacht Club. 
I he \\ inged Foot nimrods entered both shoots with com¬ 
fortable leads, and although they were not represented by 
their best marksmen, they had no difficult in winning 
both events. 
The triclub shoot was the most important of the after¬ 
noon. Each organization was represented by a five-man 
team. In the aggregate the New York A. C. made 405 
targets, against 385 by the Crescents, and 384 by the 
Larchmont tars. Adding the scores of the other two 
shoots, the winged Foot experts won by a score of 1221 
against 1189 by the Crescents, and 1186 by the Larchmont 
\ acht clubs. I he home shooters won the interclub event 
by even a larger score. Each organization used fifteen 
men, and when the last bluerock was trapped, it was 
found that the aggregate of the three shoots gave the 
New York gunners 3607 targets against 3236 bluerocks 
for the Crescent A. C. 
Being the final regular shoot for the year, the home 
shooters ended four events that have been running 
throughout the month. The final leg for the Bready cup 
was taken by T. O’Donohue. The winner of the trophy 
was not announced, however, as the conditions call for 
a percentage win for the month. The April cup leg was 
taken by C. W. Billings. However, the prize was won 
by K. R. Debacher. A. E. Ranney took the last leg 
on the Spotts cup, but the trophy was won by B M 
Higginson. The final leg for the Travers Island trophy 
was won by F. H. Schauffler, who also won the prize. 
In addition there were innumerable trophy shoots both 
during the morning and the afternoon. The day was 
miserable for the sport. During the morning hours a 
steady downpour of rain left the gunners in anything but 
a happy frame of mind. A chilling wind also added to 
their troubles, and made the conditions exceptionally 
difficult. Although the rain stopped during the after¬ 
noon, the wind gave the marksmen a great deal of 
trouble, and as a result, the scores were not high. Next 
week the New York Athletic Club will decide its annual 
championship. The scores:

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., April 15.— With the wind blowing as 
hard as it was to-day, it is actually a surprise that any 
one came out to try their skill at the traps, and it was 
still more of a surprise to see how well they did, and 
their success in making some exceedingly hard shots. 
The first five in the scores below were the ones who 
had the staying qualities to come out in the gale which 
was blowing. 
Sharp’s 43 out of the 50 in event No. 1, and Mac- 
Lachlan’s score of 33 out of the 20 pairs were splendid 
when we consider the conditions under which they were 
shooting. These same two shooters tried three more 
frames of 25, Sharp making two 21s and a 19, while Mac- 
Lachlan also, landed two 21s and a 16. 
Eagan struck a hard day at start after being away for 
several months. 
Shrigley tried one frame of singles and one string of 
doubles, when he concluded to stay out of the breeze, 
as it was all one could do to keep one’s balance. 
Mr. and Mrs. Cutler, Mr. and Mrs. Fetherstone and 
Miss Sullivan came out for a little practice on Tuesday, 
as both Cutler and Fetherston were going snipe shoot¬ 
ing, and would not be here to-day. The ladies did es¬ 
pecially well, both Mrs. Cutler and Mrs. Sullivan being 
well pleased at their success, considering the short time 
they have been shooting.

April^ 16.—The pleasant weather this morning gave 
every indication of a fine afternoon for trapshooting, 
and conditions were certainly ideal when the marksmen 
started the fray, evidence of which is shown by the 
scores made in the practice event and the first frame of 
the handicap event, in which eight men made scores of 
24 out of 25, five scores of 23 and seven of 22, as well as 
quite a number of 21 s and 20 s. 
After being given the chance to show what they could 
do under favorable conditions, the shooters were given 
quite a surprise when within a few minutes the pleasant 
breeze which had been blowing from the west veered 
around to the northeast, and “presto!” it was a good 
strong wind, raw and cold, which sent many of the tar¬ 
gets skyward, and as a consequence, it kept them guess¬ 
ing where to hold, and the scores of many dropped down 
considerably, although quite a number came through it 
with flying colors. 
In the 50-target handicap event. Dan Thomas struck 
his old-time gait by breaking 49 from the 19yd. mark. 
Young and Earl were next in line with scores of 47, 
Young breaking his from 20yds., while Earl shot at 
16yds. Kiley and Koester divided third honors with 
scores of 45, the former standing on the 18yd. mark, and 
the latter at 16yds. 
a o r _ * in t , “■*> Willie y UdQc DTOKe 
43 from 19yds., and Shrigley scored 43 from 18yds. 
Y oung walked away with first honors in the event at 
doubles, breaking 35 out of the 20 pairs from the 18yd. 
scored 3nd Sharp each broke 31, while Quade 
In the practice event at 25 singles, Quade, Riley, 
Hlavka and Sharp each broke 24, Thwaite and Thomas 
each scoring a 23. 
In the next frame, Koester, Earl and Quade each 
1U clF up a score °I 33, Riley coming in with 22 
r o. arP T 4 °°, k first place in t_he third fram e with a score 
ot 24 Hlavka pushing him along with 23, while Oliver 
was close up with 22 . 
Young carried away the honors in the next three 
frames, which were shot at 22 , 23 and 23yds., making 
the very fine scores of 25, 24 and 22. Cutler and 
lhwaite each broke a 20 in the first of these, while 
Koester, Taggart, Sharp and Thwaite each scored 20 
from 23yds. 
Another race was shot at 10 pairs in which Young 
again won out with 19, with Quade pushing him close 
with 18, Ihomas getting 16 and Koester landed 15 which 
was doing fine for his first trial at the doubles. 
Hamel was out to-day for the first time in many years, 
for a trial at the traps, and he promises to come out 
often from now on. 
. An A iioyq don’t fail to be on hand next Sunday, 
April 23, for our fifteen-man team shoot with Gray’s 
Lake. This should be a very interesting race, and we 
look for a good crowd.
