Montclair Gun Club. 
ontclaie, N. J., Jan. 25.—A very jolly crowd of 
:nteen faced the traps this afternoon. Besides the 
e trophy events, several practice events were run off, 
over 2,000 targets were thrown, keeping the office 
• busy. 
le second leg for the $200 Greener gun was run off, 
■srs. Crane, Allan and Burtis all tying on 48, but 
le won out in the shoot-off by just one point. He 
also the winner of the second trophy event at 25 
ets, handicap, with a perfect score, Cockefair and 
srel coming in each with but one point less, 
le third event was the first leg on the Colquitt trophy 
two-man teams, 50 targets per man, handicap. Team 
1, composed of Messrs. Allan and Moffett, came in 
iy first with a combined score of 97 out of a possible 
Allan breaking 40 targets and Moffett 47—very good 
es, as there was considerable wind at just the time 
were shooting. 
le plan of serving a light luncheon to the men every 
irday afternoon works very well, as is testified by 
r cleaning up everything in the line of edibles.

Independent Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 25.-—H. Landis, with 84 breaks 
out of 100 targets, was the leading marksman in the 
monthly shoot of the Independent Gun Club shoot this 
afternoon at Holmesburg Junction. While the day was 
clear and bright enough overhead, the gunners labored 
at a big disadvantage at the traps. The cold, the glare 
on the snow by Old Sol’s shining face and distance 
handicap had good scores at a high premium. Although 
some of the club’s best cracks participated in the shoot, 
very few succeeded in finishing with a good total. Only 
three^ scores of 80 or better were made, and besides 
Landis, Oliver broke 83, while Newcomb got 82. Weinert 
broke 75 and Mink 71. 
The spoon winners were Oliver, who won a trophy in 
being the runner-up to the high man, and Mink, whose 
71 score won him a spoon for the 64 to 74 per cent, 
class, while Shaw also landed a prize in the 54 to 64 
per cent, class. The scores:

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y.—The attendance was good at the 
regular bi-monthly shoot of the Ossining Gun Club to¬ 
day,'Jan. 25. Though the targets were thrown good and 
strong, a few good scores were made. Blandford got the 
fifth and final win on the Hunter Arms Co. vase, winning 
by one target from Hyland, who broke 21 out of 30 
from 19yds. 
Neil Dietrich got another win on the chafing dish, 
handicap No. 4, winning on a shoot-off with Willi and 
Hyland. The latter made the fine score of 22, but on 
the shoot-off was overcome by Dietrich’s big handicap. 
Blandford got m a tie for the Macdgnald Winchester 
rifle with Smith_ in event No. 2, and it was agreed to 
shoot off the tie in No. 3, the Sauer event. Smith 
negotiated 24 with his handicap, while Blandford luckily 
dropped in the 25 hole all alone, winning a leg on both 
events. 
Joe Willi, Jr., came with a new pump gun arid pro¬ 
ceeded to smash ’em in good style. I. T. Washburn 
and son Harold, fresh from South Carolina, quail shoot¬ 
ing, tried the targets to-day. Ike showed lack of prac¬ 
tice, as did Bedell and Coleman.
