Otsining Gun Club. 
Ossining N. Y., Jan. 1.—The New Year’s Day shoot 
was one of the best ever held by the club. It was the 
fourth annual President’s shoot. Only members were 
eligible. Three guests were present, Jack Fanning, of 
the Dupont Powder Co.; Robert B. Lawrence, president 
of the National Fly-Casters’ Association, and Supt. W. 
H. Hyland, of Croton Dam. 
Col. Franklin Brandreth each year issues invitations 
to members to come up to the range on New Year’s 
Day and compete for prizes which he offers. There is 
never anything said about prizes, but the boys are 
educated to the fact that there will be a prize for 
everybody, and prizes such as seldom appear at a shoot. 
After the shoot and everybody had taken their pick, 
there was a fine warm sweater for the old caretaker, a 
gold, watch and chain for a favored referee, and a crisp 
bill for each scorer, trapper and puller. It was indeed 
a happy New Year’s Day for all those who participated. 
The prizes were numerous. The scores:
