In a match at 25 live birds, $25 a side, at Philadel¬

At the live-bird shoot, held on the Point Breeze track,

* 
On April 4, a seven-man team contest will take place

Watertown over Middlesex. Kirkwood and Baldwin, 
with 90, were high on the Watertown team. Rule was 
high with 95 for Middlesex.

A correspondent sends to us the following interesting- 
information: “During the year 1908, Mr. John W. Gar¬ 
rett, of Colorado Springs, Colo., will devote a portion of 
his time to trapshooting, and will appear at tournaments 
as a full-fledged representative of the Du Pont Company. 
This will be good news to all amateurs and professionals 
alike, and while the former will unanimously wish him the 
best of luck, the latter will, beyond all question, accord 
him a hearty welcome when he makes his debut in pro¬ 
fessional ranks as a Du Pont man ” 
*

feated the Yale University team, 496 to 481. There were

held by Pelham, of New York, 87, and Pugsley, of Yale, 
89. Mr. Neaf Apgar acted as referee. The return match 
will be shot on May 2, at New Haven. 
On each of the two days of the Ossining, N. Y., Gun 
Club’s tournament, Alay 13-14, there are $10, $5 and $3 
for the day’s high averages. On the first day, ten 20- 
target events, $1.40 entrance, are provided. Of these, 
events 2 to 6, 100 targets, will be for the Westchester

are one 15, one 25, and eight 20-target events, $1.30, $2.50

$100 merchandise, handicaps, 16 to 22yds., and does not 
count in averages. Programme starts at 10:30. Ship 
guns, etc., care Barlow & Co. Lunch and shells ob¬ 
tainable on the grounds. Ossining is on the N. Y. C. 
A' IT. R. R. R., thirty miles from New York. An ex¬ 
ceedingly novel feature of the programme is that com¬ 
plimentary mention is made of the sporting journals 
which publish the Ossining Gun Club scores. This is 
quite in pleasing contrast with the policy of the average 
gun clubs, which obtain all the free advertising they 
can in the sporting journals and in return strive to 
obtain advertising on a cash basis in their programmes; 
that is to say, all gratuity on one side and all cash on 
the other. We acknowledge with pleasure the courtesy 
of the Ossining Gun Club. Gaylord B. Hubbell is the 
Secretary; Charles G. Blandford is the Manager.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner came over to Columbus Satur¬ 
day, March 2S,*on a little business regarding the Grand 
American Handicap, and it has come to pass that Mr. 
Shaner can no longer remain in the “light, weight’’ 
class, as we have witness to prove that he is now a full- 
fledged member, in good standing of the “heavy weight” 
order. Mr. Frank Hall, of the Frank P. Hall Co., has 
an elegant little den in the shape of a canopy, fenced 
around, and fitted up in Old Mission style, old guns, 
nets, and sportsman’s delights hanging all around. Mr. 
Shaner was seated comfortably in one of the heaviest 
chairs, when suddenly a loud crash was heard, and Mr. 
Hall hurried to the rear, thinking that the floor had 
given way, on account of the large storage of shells 
piled up, and found Mr. Shaner and the big chair all in 
a heap. The chair had completely telescoped, or 
collapsed, and while the sensation was not unsimilar to 
that of an earthquake, Mr. Shaner said that he began 
to wonder where the cyclone cellar was. After being 
assured that there was no more danger, the boys all 
began to take notice that Mr. Shaner was of the heavy 
weight class. 
Geo. W. Buchanan and Dr. E. .E. Cowdrick, of Winni¬ 
peg, Manitoba, were guests at the club shoot, on Wed¬ 
nesday and Saturday, and for picking up any old gun 
they could find did lome good breaking. The boys were 
all mighty glad to see George, who used to be one of 
us. The Doctor is a fine sportsman, and we were glad 
to have him with us. 
Luther Squier has returned to Columbus, after an 
absence of two weeks, and will be present at roll call 
for some little time. The boys are thinking of having 
Luther make Columbus headquarters. We have got 
John Taylor and Fred Le Noir, and we can take care of 
Luther all right. 
Mr. J. N. Hedges, of Asheville, came up Saturday to 
try his new gun and the 100-bird race. He likes the 
gun all right for a stranger, and thinks that better 
acquaintance will help considerable. 
W. J. Welsheimer, of Johnstown, Ohio, came for the 
special shoot. That he enjoy? getting out with a gun, 
there is no mistake. 
Joe Wells shot a fine clip, and he came very close 
unto the vase winners—too close for comfort, said they. 
Well, Joe, we will have to get even at the April 
tournament.

Fred Le Noir shot well up in the race, breaking 90 
out of 100 and 46 in the 50-bird shoot. 
John Taylor, after shooting three 25-target events and 
two 20-target events, had to lay off a few events, on 
account of a severe headache. 
A. E. Shatford, after listening to the duck and geese 
stories told by George and the Doctor, took a last look 
at the broken chair and remarked that he would almost 
go broke to get some shooting like that. It was inter¬ 
esting to hear the two of them describe it, and it made 
an impression on Deacon Shatford. 
H. E. Smith and Webster were close up for one of 
the vases, with 91 and 90, Webster getting them all in 
the secretary trophy shoot. . It was nicely done, as 
William did it easy and only had to call barrel No. 2 on 
two occasions. Says he, “The bird in the hand, etc.” 
Frank Burris and Ora Shilling tied with 94 each, 
winning the two vases. That there will be a few violets 
and spring beauties lodging at breakfast in those vases, 
goes without saying. 
Will Fishinger has the record nearly smashed for long 
stocks, and his idea is to get closer to them and so 
lessen their chance of getting away. 
G. M. Smith finished close up in the race, and made 
the two winners wonder a bit. G. M. and Shilling are 
going to take a look at the duck on Tuesday, No. 2 in 
April. 
W. V. Baker had a kind of an off day on Saturday 
afternoon and did not get his usual portion. Wednesday 
he will try them again. 
Jimmie Ward got a touch of the “spring fever” and
