The Chemung County Forest. Fish end Game 
Protective Association. 
Elmira, N. Y.—The Elmira shooters opened the trap 
shooting for 1908 with an impromptu shoot on l uesday. 
The shoot was arranged for the entertainment of 
Messrs. R H. Nicol and II. L. Brown. who were in 
town in the interest of their companies. 1 he scores f 
were very satisfactory, Mr. Brown breaking do out of 
100, with Nicol a close second. Demorest W ay Consi- 
dine and Bryan were high among the local shooters. 
Beginning with :he week of the 12th, regular shooting 
days will be observed on this club’s grounds and a 
large force will be out getting in line for the State 
shoot in June. . , 
We announced in one of your recent issues, that tile 
shooters attending the New York State shoot this year 
were going to have a valuable merchandise list to shoot 
for. Since that time this list has been materially in¬ 
creased. The Elmira association have now a list of ten 
guns on their merchandise list which represents all the 
feadins makes of guns in the country. These ten guns 
now include the following: L. C. Smith, Sauer, 1 arkcr. 
Ithaca, b"ox, LeFever, Baker, Winchester, Marlin and 
The pn. gramme to be issued for the 1908 N^w York 
State shoot is to be very attractice. The cover, which 
will be received from the printers in a few day,s has 
been especially designed. It will lie a beautiful example 
of art in printing and will be an embossed combination 
of gilt and colors. lhe Elmira shooters are taking un¬ 
bounded interest in the State shoot and are working 
tooth and nail to make it a success. The assurance 
they are receiving from various points about the State 
indicate a very large list of entries. Representatives 
of the trade, who have visited Elmira this year, know 
how great this interest is and realize that the Elmira 
members stand together to a man, in support of the 
companies offering their assistance to make this shoot 
a success. L - Andrews.

PaUtka Gun Club Tournament 
Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, X. Y., April 5.—The Xcwfane Gun C lub, 
fifteen strong, came to Buffalo to shoot a return match 
with the Audubon Club of this city yesterday afternoon. 
The result was very close, and until the last shots were 
fired the contest was in doubt, the Audubons finally 
winning by 18 targets out of 750 shot at on each side. 
It will he remembered that the Aubons were beaten 
at Newfane a week ago, so honors are now even, and a 
third match will be necessary to decide the better team. 
Kelsey for the Audubons, was high man with 46 out 
of 50, closely followed by Wright with 45 and Reinecke 
with 44. . . 
Wescott, of Newfane. was high with 42, and 1‘ish with 
41, runner up for their club. 
Reinecke was winner of A class badge with .4.

It being too dark to shoot off the tie a coin was tossed 
and Walker won. 
The dav was fine, and the scores all averaged fine. 
Ward .na'tic a run of 112 and Freeman kept close with 
lid. Charlie Sands was in fine trim, despite the fact 
that he was a manager of the shoot. Lemcke, after being 
out of the field for some vears, made a good showing. 
Though somewhat handicapped by the trap pulling and 
treed i ackgroimd, good shooting was done throughout 
l he day. Such was the success that the club will arrange 
for another and better shoot in the fad.
