Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Feb. 22.—Washington’s Birthday 
rned out a fine club shoot at Ossining. There were 
enty-four shooters. One trap threw over 2,000 targets 
less than three hours. 
An erratic wind and the glare from the snow did not 
em to make much difference in the general averages, 
ough doubtless with better conditions fine scores would 
ive been made. The scores will show that in the main 
e handicaps were equitably apportioned.. 
J. C. Barlow, heretofore a Class B man, had his shoot- 
g clothes” on, and put it all over the bunch with an 
erage of 82 per cent. Hyland finished with 80, and 
oleman was third with 79.9. Joe Willi, Jr., got a 
raight in every event, but lost all on a final tie shoot- 
f. In event 3, Barlow got a win on the rifle and a 
lecial cup donated by the president. In No. 4, for the 
iacdonald camera, he also won out, Hyland getting a 
>ecial, cup. In No. 6 , for the chafing dish set, Hyland 
at a win, Clark winning the special cup. In event No. 
scratch, at 20 targets, Washburn took a brace and 
nded a fine fat 23, which annexed a special cup. No. 7 
as a special handicap for a $5 pipe in case. This was 
pen only to those who had not previously won a prize, 
landford won on a shoot-off, miss-and-out.

Hudson Valley Rod and Gun Club. 
Glens Falls. N, Y., Feb. 21.—Only four of the boys 
turned out to the regular shoot, Friday afternoon, but 
they managed to have a pretty good time, especially 
Clark, as he succeeded in trimming Witt, who has here¬ 
tofore had pretty nearly everything his own way. Sev¬ 
eral of the boys are catching up, however, and some 
close contests will be on before long. 
Several of the boys are going to Troy on Saturday to 
take part in the tournaments to be held there.

Sportsman’s Show Tournament. 
Philadelphia.— The programme of the Sportsmans 
Show shoot, to be held at Ilolmesburg Junction, Pa., on 
March 10-12, was ready for distribution early this week. 
There will be a $1.00 optional sweep m each event, also 
a $5 optional sweep in each 100 -target handicap, and a 
$10 white flyer optional sweepstake, high guns. t ne 
tournament is attaining great importance. It will b 
known as the Sportsman s Show shoot, and will be he d 
in connection with the big Sportsman s show, to be held 
in the First Regiment Armory, March 9-14. The first 
two days will be devoted to target shooting: the third 
to white flyers. Several hundred dollars worth of silver 
and other prizes will be up for competition, for which 
no entrance fee is exacted. The only, expense is the cost 
of targets. The contract for the prizes, for wh ch $40U 
was appropriated by the Philadelphia Sportsmans Show 
Association, was awarded some days ago. Ihe Hotel 
Hanover solid silver cup was donated by \\ m. C. Rich¬ 
ardson. A high grade double gun was donated by the 
A H Fox Gun Co. A number of other merchandise 
prizes have been promised The actual ^ash .value of 
the prizes at present available amounts to $670. Ihe 
promoters of the shoot have endeavored to make this 
event especially attractive to amateurs, hence it will be 
a handicap and the handicap committee will have five 
members, one man each from the five most prominent 
clubs of Philadelphia. The trade will send many experts 
as demonstrators. By special courtesy of the Dupont 
Powder Co., the tournament will be under the able 
management of Mr. Luther Squier, the renowned expert 
in all that pertains to shooting. . . 
Manager I. H. Beck promises Philadelphia the best 
show of the kind ever held in this city. Owing to the 
very small space at his disposal on the First Regiment 
Armory floor, he regrets that he will be compelled to 
leave out many of the big features which he originally 
intended to incorporate in the show.
