Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, III.. April 22.—Quite a number of our mem¬ 
ber'* being away snipe shooting, and a strong, disagree¬ 
able northeast wind both were factors in the small at¬ 
tendance to-day. The five who did come out did good 
work at both singles and doubles. Ed. Graham did 
especially fine in his first 25 singles, of which he lost 
only 2. 
Event No. 1, at 25 singles, resulted as follows: Graham 
first with a score of 24; Sharp taking second place with 
23 and McLachlan third with 20. 
First honors in the second event at 50 singles again 
went to Graham with the score of 49, Sharp and Mac- 
Lachlan dividing second honors of scores of 43. 
Mac Lachlan captured first place in both the double 
events, scoring 43 out of 25 pairs, and 37 out of 24 pairs. 
Sharp landed second place in the 25 pairs with a score 
of 38, Graham breaking 36, while Shrigley made 31. 
In the 25 pairs, Graham followed MacLachlan by scor¬ 
ing 35, Sharp being next in line with 34, while Shrigley 
broke 29. 
Barnes is trying to get used to a new gun, and it 
probably wont be long before he will be grinding the 
target^ up well enough to run his scores up in the 20s 
in each frame. Scores:

April 23.—The pleasant weather of to-day helped the 
attendance, although it was rather cool where the raw- 
wind from the northeast could get at one. The field of 
thirty-one shooters looked good on a Sunday, with no 
regular or special program, as it came between the close 
of the winter season last Sunday, and the beginning of 
the summer season’s program, which starts next Sunday. 
In the practice event Thomas and Stannard each broke 
24 of the 25 singles. Young and Burton each landing 23. 
Rost made 22, while Shrigley, Thwaite, Holtz, Gill, 
Dessert and F. R. Stannard each brought down 21. 
Clancey was high with 45 out of the next fifty, W. D. 
Stannard taking second place with 47. Sharp and Quade 
each scored 46 breaks, while Holtz was close up with 45. 
Kausche, Deasart and Gill divided first honors in 
event Xo. 3, at 25 singles, each scoring 24, Sharp and 
Glancey taking second place with scores of 23, Holtz 
winning third with 22. 
In a 50-target race at 22yds., Young landed in first 
place with a score of 43, Thomas and Burton each 
breaking 42. 
Thomas turned the trick in the next race at 25 singles 
at 23yds. by going through the frame without a miss, 
Young coming in second with 23, while Shaw took third 
with 22 breaks. 
In the first event at doubles, Young broke 37 out of 
the 20 pairs, Sharp landed 33, while Mott broke 32. The 
next rac^ at 25 pairs resulted as follows: Clancey 38, 
\Y. D. Stannard 37, and Deasert 35. 
Taggart handled first place in the last event at 10 
pairs, witl a sc^re of 18, Dr. Robb and Young each 
scoring 17. while Thomas and Gill each broke 16. 
\Ye are expecting a good big turnout next Saturday 
and Sunday to start in on the summer season’s pro¬ 
gram, and the prospects are good for a good attendance 
each week through the season.

NewJ York Athletic Club. 
B. M. Higginson won the trapshooting championship 
of the New York Athletic Club at Travers Island on 
Saturday, April 29. The event was at 200 targets, and the 
winner had 188 breaks to his credit. Customary strings 
of 25 bluerocks were thrown for each man. Mr. Higgin¬ 
son started out with a full score of 25 in the first time 
at the traps. He followed the run with 22. Then came 
23 and another 23, which gave the winner a total of 93 
for the first 100 targets. C. W. Billings also had the 
same total when half of the targets had been trapped. 
Mr. Higginson started the second round with another 
25, and then followed up with 22, 25 and 23. R. L. 
Spotts, who had 90 at the end of the first 100 targets, 
came very strong toward the end of the shoot and took 
second prize with a grand total of 184 targets. The run 
w-as equalled by H. M. Brigham, champion of the Cres¬ 
cent Athletic Club, who shot along for targets only. C. 
W : Billings and F. A. Hodgman tied for the third 
prize, with totals of 183. In a special shoot-off the 
former gunner defeated Mr. Hodgman by a total of 24 
to 23. 
Dr. D. L. Culver, the former champion, did not figure 
at all in the event. His grand total was 162. 
Although a little bit too warm for trapshooting, the 
gunners had ideal conditions on the firing line. More 
than a half dozen of the experts returned full strings of 
25 targets. Champion B. M. Higginson led with three 
perfect strings. Both F. A. Hodgman and H. M. 
Brigham, had two strings of 25 targets each, the former 
p-unner making his in succession. C \Y. Billings, G. J. 
Corbett, \Y. J. Simpson and R. L. Spotts each had one 
full total. The scores:
