Analastan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., April 6 .—The Analostan Gun Club 
of this city opened its season last Friday and Saturday. 
The U. M. C. aggregation were on hand, but the elements 
interfered sadly with the plans they had made for a gala 
afternocn. The wind blew a forty-fivc-mile gale, and 
Annie Oakley’s exhibition had to be called off. The 
wind was cold and penetrating, and it was so uncom¬ 
fortable that the shoot was discontinued. The scores were 
so bad that we have concluded to omit them this time. 
However, the boys had a good visit with the travelers 
and had the pleasure of listening to Frank Butler 
expatiate. Frank was there with the goods. He had 
everything, from a soft-nosed bullet to a shell for a 
yacht cannon. Tom Marshall gave his overcoat to one 
of the ladies present, and while his teeth chattered, 
“joshed” with the boys. He was dressed in gray, and 
I am sure if Col. Anthony could have seen him he 
would have thought Tom a member of the 13th Virginia. 
Billy Heer and George Maxwell did some good shooting, 
their scores being better than 90 per cent. The South¬ 
ern trip improved Maxwell’s weight and health, but 
Billy fleer lost about 201bs.; but that is no wonder, as 
he was property man and had eight trunks to check and 
look after, and his scraps with the baggage men to keep 
them from charging excess baggage pulled him down a 
little. If Billy and George had remained in the South a 
month longer they would have been full-fledged Soutlp 
erners, as both were using “you all” and “right much.” 
While Annie Oakley did not gain much in experience 
on the trip, she gained in weight—about eight pounds— 
and of course felt that she was a gainer by the trip. 
Heer and Maxwell remained over and shot with the club 
Saturday. The wind blew a gale as on the day before, but 
it was warmer. Only a few of the boys turned out. Mike 
Hogan, Dr. Kirk, Tayldr, Harris and others shot very 
well, and Dr. Shoupc distinguished himself by running 
25 straight, and 33 out of his last 35; that was going 
some for him, and remarkable work, considering the 
wind, which blew a gale. 
The club will shoot regularly every Saturday from this 
time on, and will be glad to welcome visiting shooters 
whenever in the city. The members will be divided in 
four classes and all are to shoot from 16yds. this season. 
The traps have been moved closer together, and we 
expect the best year the club has ever had. A number 
of new members have joined since the annual meeting, 
and we have the promise of many applications. 
The officers for the ensuing year are as follows: Presi¬ 
dent, C. S. W'ilson; Vice-President, Dr. Wm. C. Barr; 
Treasurer, John Coleman; Secretary, Miles Taylor; Cap¬ 
tain, H. A. Farnham; Trustees, M. D. Hogan, W. R. 
Baker, W. H. Hunter.

New Havan Gan Club. 
New Haven, Conn., April 8. —Rain poured down this 
afternoon, keeping a good many of the boys at home, and 
cutting down the scores. However, some of the boys 
made very good scores in spite of the bad weather. Six¬ 
teen of our old “standbys” attended, and we had a good 
time, in spite of the inclement weather. The secona leg 
of the president’s cup race was shot off, those marked * 
getting the possible 25 with their handicaps. 
The two teams in the team race, event No. 2, .were 
captained by Sherman and Kelly respectively, and the 
race was won by Sherman’s team by 4 birds. In drawing 
the prize, an elegant fly-rod, Dr. Nettleton was the next to 
the last man to draw, but nevertheless he was the lucky 
man, and carried off the rod. 
The last event was a 50-bird match between Mack and 
Morrissey, and was won by the former by 5 birds.

Six Record Runs 
L. R. Barkley’s Marvelous Shooting with 
WINCHESTER 
uns 
That winter’s winds and icy chill 
don’t affect the unapproachable 
uniformity and hard shooting 
qualities of Winchester Shells and 
Shotguns has again been con¬ 
clusively proven—this time by L. 
R. Barkley, who since January 
1st has made runs of 132, 12.5, 
124, 115, 111 and 105 straight 
targets in open competition. Such 
shooting is wonderful in summer 
weather; in the good old winter 
time it is simply marvelous. Win¬ 
chester goods—the Red W brand 
—shoot well all the time. In 1907 
they won 65% of the 449 reported 
tournaments at which they were 
used. They won the Amateur 
and Professional Championships and Averages, made the highest 
of high averages ever recorded—97.18% for 3,300 targets—and 
established two new world’s squad records of 496-500 and 980- 
1,000. Best of all, their superiority won a still tighter hold on 
the hearts of American shooters. 
Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., April 11. —The weather conditions 
to-day were not favorable to high scores, the wind blow¬ 
ing a gale most of the afternoon. The first event of the 
afternoon was the fourth leg on the Barnes trophy and 
resulted in a tie between Boxall and Jacobus, Boxall 
winning out in the shoot-off, which occurred in the fol¬ 
lowing event. Event 2 was the fourth leg for the Boxall 
tropsy, and also resulted in a tie, this time between 
Dukes, Allan and Grinnell, Grinnell winning out in the 
shoot-off. , , , 
The third event of the afternoon was the seventh leg 
for the Greener gun, and was an easy win for Dukes, 
with 45 to his credit. 
Events 4 and 5 were pick-up team races for two-man 
teams, at 10 targets per man, each attempting to pick 
up and break his partner’s missed targets. Dukes and 
Grinnell won the first of these, and Allan and Batten 
the second.
