■iaturday of this week, has a programme of eleven events, 
otaling 200 targets and $15 entrance. Class shooting. 
Programme shooting commences at 10 o’clock. Lunch

Paterson. N. J., March 28.—Herewith are scores of the 
dioot held to-day by the North Side Rod and Gun Club, 
in their grounds, Columbia Heights. Despite the stormy 
weather, with the wind blowing a gale, thirteen of the 
fearless faced the traps, and although the scores made 
ire not of the best, they are creditable, considering the 
conditions under which they were made. By the way, 
our friend Ike, the rabbit shooter, is so used to shoot¬ 
ing on the ground that he forgot to look for the target in 
the air, and therefore shot at the only object that he could 
see, which happened to be the roof of the trap house, 
for which the president declares he will fine him $3,000 
at the next meeting of the club.

Enterprise Gun Club. 
McKeesport, Pa., March 28.—Scores of the first con¬ 
test of the fourth year’s shoot for the Daily News cham¬ 
pionship cup, which took place on the grounds of the 
Enterprise Gun Club, of McKeesport, Pa., Saturday, 
March 28, are appended. 
Despite threatening weather there was a large attend¬ 
ance, twenty-six contestants and three hundred spec¬ 
tators being present. A strong wind prevailed, which 
caused the targets to go whirling in all directions. 
R. G. Knight, of the Enterprise Gun Club, was high 
gun with 44, and champion; J. F. Calhoun and Wesley 
Hale were second with 40 each. 
There was one lady, Mrs. F. Gallagher, of Turtle 
Creek, who took part in the contest and did some 
creditable work, breaking 16 out of 25 in preliminary 
practice, and 22 out of 50 in the contest. She handles a 
gun gracefully, and with practice promises to become a 
formidable rival of the men folks. It would add in¬ 
terest to the sport if more ladies would take part in 
trapshooting. The next contest will be held Saturday 
April 4, on the grounds of the Enterprise Club.
