Sistersville Shooting Club. 
Sistersville, West Va., Jan. 17.—Rain and a blinding 
snowstorm seriously interfered with our midwinter shoot 
yesterday, the 16th inst., cutting our attendance down 
very materially. We know of several who had started, 
but on account of the severe storm, returned home. 
Nearly a full squad from Pomeroy, O., had gotten as 
far as Parkersburg, but thinking our shoot would surely 
be declared off, came no further, telephoning their re¬ 
grets. The programme, however, was carried out, and 
those who were here expressed themselves as having had 
an enjoyable time. 
The early morning train brought Messrs. John F. and 
S. T. Mallory, the latter accompanied by Mrs. Mallory, 
from Parkersburg; Mrs. Chas. J. Mowery from St. 
Marys, and John M. Speary from Marietta, and a later 
train from the North brought Messrs. Al. Mills, W. 
McC. Snodgrass and T. M. Mclntire, from New Mar¬ 
tinsville. 
Although the storm was raging furiously and the wind 
blowing a gale when the time arrived to start the pro¬ 
gramme, those who were here seemed anxious to be cut 
loose and allowed to face the elements, and from that 
time until the last shot was fired, not a murmur was 
heard. 
With an abundance of natural gas, our club house was 
kept red hot, and no one suffered from the cold. Every¬ 
body was in good humor and went home feeling that we 
had done all we could for them under the circum¬ 
stances. We certainly feel ourselves under many ob¬ 
ligations to those who came out, and hope in the near 
future to be able to, in a measure at least, return the 
compliment. Because possibly of his selecting such a 
beautiful (?) day for the affair, Mr. Ed. O. Bower was 
allowed to win the average with 167 out of ISO, or 92.7 
per cent., followed closely by Mr. John M. Speary, of 
Marietta, O., with 163. Tabulated scores follow:

NOTES. 
C. C. Mercer, of Dillonvale, O., came in Wednesday 
evening, so as to be on the field of battle early. 
The referee yelled out “Lost” and Sid Mallory turned 
around and remarked that a snowdrift had just hit him 
in the eye. 
Mercer would have been greatly handicapped had it not 
been for the young lady who held his glasses when he 
went to the score. 
Speary, who never misses a Sistersville shoot, was 
glad he came, but his little speech about the weather 
man was not very complimentary. 
John F. Mallory said that he came up to tell us that 
he couldn’t be with us. We never saw the weather too 
severe for “Chief Hole Digger.” 
Charlie Mowery was happy through it all, but then 
that’s nothing new for him. He was born that way. 
Mclntire, Mills and Snodgrass arrived in time for 
latter half of programme. They report new grounds for 
New Martinsville, and will be heard from a little later.

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Jan. 18.—Although nothing special 
was scheduled for to-day, the fine weather brought some 
twenty men out to face the traps. The first event was at 
10 targets for practice, Allan making a perfect score. 
Event 2 was a handicap at 25 targets, Messrs. Cockefair 
and Waring tying with perfect scores; Waring, however, 
won out in the shoot-off, which occurred in event 4, and 
received a very handsome cane for his skill. Event 3, at 
15 targets, handicap, was for the accumulation trophy 
event, Waring winning this also with a score of 15. 
Event 4, like event 2, was a handicap at 25 targets, Moffett 
capturing a fine silk umbrella with a score of 25. Event 
5 was a pickup team race for two men teams, 10 targets 
per man. Team No. 3, composed of Messrs. Colquitt 
and Bouvier, was the lucky team, scoring 19 out of a 
possible 20, and receiving as their reward a couple of 
boxes of fine cigars.
