Larchmont Y. C. 
Larchmont, N. Y., May 1.—The windup of the season 
came yesterday and a goodly number of shooters gathered 
at the final weekly shoot. Under the best of conditions 
good scores were made. 
E. A. Wilson proved to be high gun for the day. He 
won the second and fifth trophy matches, each with a 
full score. Ralph L. Spotts won the 10 target scratch 
contest with a full score, and I< R. Hooker was the 
winner of the special trophy match, breaking all of his 
25 targets. The leg for the April cup—the final one— 
was won by W. B. Short, but K. R. Hooker and K. 
L. Spotts having won two legs each in former shoots, 
they shot off, Spotts winning the cup. A. E. Rannev 
won the fourth match, a 25-target match, with a full 
score. 
Saturday, May 6 , will be a banner day at Larchmont 
for trapshooters, for the club championship is to be de¬ 
cided. There will also be an inter-club and universities 
championship shoot in which gunners from six clubs and 
five universities will take part. Yale, Princeton, Penn¬ 
sylvania and Dartmouth colleges have already entered, 
and it is expected that Harvard will enter before Wed¬ 
nesday. _ These will be individual championships, and 
it is estimated by the committee that at least eighty men 
will compete for the prizes offered. 
Ideal Gun Club Tournament. 
Circleville, Ohio, April 28.—The spring tournament 
given by the Ideal Gun Club yesterday was largely at¬ 
tended. Forty-one shot clear through the program,

In the professional class, Bert Call, of Cincinnati, was 
high man, breaking 140 out of 150 targets. B. S. Cooper, 
of Thornville, led the amateurs, breaking 139 out of a 
possible 150 targets. 
Out of 6.060 targets 5,552 were broken. There was a 
little rivalry between C. L. Brandon and L. T Shaner 
as to who would break the largest number of targets out 
of 150 each. The former led by ten targets. 
The officials of the club are: President, C. O. Smith; 
Secretary, F.. M. Stout; Treasurer, J. S. Ritt.

The first registered tournament of the Western Con¬ 
necticut Trapshooters’ League will be held under the 
auspices of tile Bethel Gun Club at Bethel, Connecticut, 
May 13. In the program the club make the following 
announcement: 
‘‘The Bethel Gun Club extend greetings to all shooters 
and cordially invite them to attend our annual tourna- 
ment. 
We wish to announce that we allow no sweepstakes 
or moneyed events to be shot for on our grounds. We 
find from past experiences that it tends to deteriorate 
and lower, rather than advance the sport. 
“We have put up prizes to the value of $250, so that 
11 wdl be an incentive for all shooters within a reason¬ 
able distance to attend this, our first shoot since the 
organization of the Western Connecticut Trap Shooters’ 
.League. 
. - -- -—U11U 1I1C OWJ-MJE/I l 
and co-operation of our fellow members of the associa¬ 
tion and with the high grade program we are extending 
to you, we feel assured of a successful opening of our 
summer campaign. 
“We wish to call your attention to the special Parker 
gun event; 25 targets, distance handicap. This is a 
D. H. grade listed at $S0. Also the Western Connecti¬ 
cut 1 rapshooters League trophy, the Du Pont Con- 
necticut amateur trophy and the Fairfield county cham¬ 
pionship trophy. 
“Shooting will start promptly at 9:30. Tournament

J liere the school team won by a lead of 21 birds The 
return shoot was held just before the exhibition shooting 
of the wizard of the shooting world, T. Mowell Hawkins 
I lie traps were very irregular, and in the shoot-off the 
rooting of the crowd, which resembled that of a ball 
game, more than a shoot, no doubt unnerved the school 
boys. Scott 1S a Waynesboro man, and Horn comes
