Pinehurst, N. C.—The first annual target handicap of 
the Pinehurst Country Club, held on Jan. 23, 24 and 25, 
attracted a distinguished gathering of expert shooters, 
about fifty in all. The competition was of great interest 
to the many visitors, who sojourn in that famous winter 
resort. 
Four sets of traps were installed, but three sets proved 
ample. 
Miss Annie Oakley gave an interesting exhibition of 
her skill on Wednesday. 
Goss, of Irish Valley, and Jones, of Shamokin, Pa., 
shot for a purse of $100, it is so related, and of the 10 
birds shot at, Goss scored 5 to his opponent’s 3. There 
was good red blood in men who put up so much money on 
such indefinite probabilities.

Secretary W. C. Wootton writes us that “the Buffalo 
Audubon Club has made application to the Interstate 
Association for registration, and is going to hold a one- 
day tournament on Decoration Day, 1908. We expect to 
add in money, merchandise and cups, a sum to the 
amount of $250.”

•e 
Saturday of last week, storming, with the thermometer 
resting about zero, the wind laden with an arctic tem¬ 
perature, whistling and blowing tempestuously, • was not 
a day of delight to the trapshooters, referees, trap-pullers 
and visitors. Nevertheless there were many Spartan 
spirits who braved all the discomforts of that day, which 
goes to show that there are many good sportsmen in bad 
weather as well as fair. 
s n, 
A miss-and-out has been arranged for Lincoln’s Birth¬ 
day, to engage the skill of the shooters at the Point 
Breeze traqk, Philadelphia. Entrance is price of targets. 
The contestants will be divided into two classes, class 
one being allowed one miss as a kill, and class two, two 
misses as kills. An optional sweep will be an added 
feature. Twenty shooters participated in the 10-bird han¬ 
dicap on Feb. 1, and of these Messrs. Aiman, Holznagle, 
Forsyth, Paulson and Miller scored 10 straight.

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 1.—The worst possible condi¬ 
tions for target shooting prevailed on the occasion of 
the first shoot for February. A wind blowing at 85 
miles an hour, accompanied with a blinding snowstorm, 
made the targets at times almost indiscernible, and the 
referee could not always see whether a target was broken 
or not. Under such conditions only the most enthusi¬ 
astic members attended, and the scores were abnormally 
low. Dr. Wootton won Class A badge with 20; Heinold 
Class B with 18, and Mcsinger Class C with 12. Scores:

Hudson Valley Rod and Gun Club. 
Glens Falls, N. Y.—A largely attended meeting of the 
club was held Friday evening, the 24th inst., when sev¬ 
eral new members were elected and plans for the coming 
season discussed with interest. 
It was deci_ded_ to hold our spring tournament on 
Saturday. April 25. and committees were appointed to 
get things ready for a great big time, and they will 
endeavor to get up a programme that will be of interest 
to the shooting fraternity. 
A large number of our boys are sticking to the game 
all winter—something unheard of in this section hereto¬ 
fore, and all shooters are most cordially welcome to our 
grounds at any time. 
The club has made application for a large number of 
trout to stock the nearby streams, and will also take a 
hand at stocking Glen Lake with bass, so that those 
who wish to try the rod in place of the gun can do so. 
Our club was reported in a very thrifty condition, and 
the outlook for the coming season is bright.
