New Haven Gun Club. 
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 22.—The day was fine, and 
.a large crowd attended, and we held a very enjoyable 
and 1 financially successful shoot. Everything went 
smoothly and without the delays often experienced at 
tournaments. We have just installed a new set of traps, 
electric pulls, and they went fine, although they threw 
2 . much slower bird than our old ones. There was a 
large crowd of spectators, who stayed the shoot out, in 
spite of the cold, and I should think that this would 
indicate a growing interest in trapshooting. 
The only professional shooters attending were W. 
Parker and Jack Fanning, the latter being the only paid 
expert. Although the New Haven Gun Club runs some 
of the largest shoots held in the State—in fact, the 
largest—the professional shooters seem to fight shy, and 
■do not favor us with their presence. 
There were about forty shooters who shot the entire 
programme, and about sixty all told. There were twenty 
prizes for high guns, and they were won as follows: 
First, C. H. Stevenson, New Haven, 148 out of 165; sec¬ 
ond, E. H. Kelly, New Haven, 142; third, Comrade, East 
Hampton, 140; fourth, G. B. Prest, New London, 139; 
tilth. \\ . A. Gregory, Danbury, 139; sixth, Dr. C. C. 
Smith, New Haven, 139; seventh, H. L. Edgarton, Wil- 
limantie, 137; eighth, 1. Graham, New Haven, 136; 
ninth, F. E. Metcalf, Rockville, 135; tenth, R. H. Smith, 
Seymour, and E. Hart, Waterbury, 131 each; eleventh, 
Melvin Hepburn, New Haven, 131; thirteenth, John 
Draher. Waterbury, 131; fourteenth, J. A. Noel, Vale, 
N. II.; fifteenth, H. C. Whitney, New Haven, 128; 
sixteenth, J. F. Conlin, Unionville, 125; seventeenth, 
1. F. Morrissey, Ne.v Haven, 125; eighteenth, B. W. 
Mack, New Haven, 124; nineteenth, C. E. Hall, Water¬ 
bury, 124; twentieth, C. F. Hemmeler, New Haven, 123. 
The consolation prize, a hunting rest, was won by J. J. 
Coyle, of New Haven. 
After tne programme was finished there was a team 
shoot, captained by Stevenson, of New Haven, and 
Gregory, of Danbury. Stevenson’s team won by one 
bird. The scores: 
Stevenson 23, Mack 16, R. II. Smith 20, Arcy 18, Hart 
20, Conlin 15, Metcalf 28, Comrade 19, Dr. Smith 22, 
Whitney 18, Porter 20, Hill 9, Rice 20; total 240. 
Gregory 20, Kelly 19, Edgarton 23, Robertson 18, C. 
Hall 19, Prest 17, Hammond 17, Watrous 19, Morrissey 
18, Savage 14, Dr. Backer 11, Draher 23, Dr. Moore 21; 
total 239. 
This was a 25-bird race. 
The tournament was held under the auspices of the 
Interstate Association.

At Coatesville. 
Coatesville, Pa., Feb. 22.—The holiday shoot was not 
well attended, owing to the numerous events taking 
place in the nearby towns. However, those who die 
show up made the best of the very unfavorable con 
ditions and made good scores, considering the high wine 
and glare from the snow. 
The 100-bird race for the championship was a nice con 
test. Minken broke 91, Jebb 89. Marston 87. 
Mr. Lewis, of the Dupont Powder Ccf., met with quiti 
a painful accident in the first event, having his thuml 
badly torn by the accidental discharge of his pump gui 
while closing it. While it interfered greatly with hi: 
shooting, he finished out the programme. Mr. Overbaugh 
of the U. M. C. Co., was the only other trade representa 
tive in attendance.
