New Hivcn Gun Club. 
Nf.w Haven, Conn., April IT— G. M. Wheeler, in extra 
events, broke 95 cut of 125. 
Extra targets thrown, 1050. 
The day was fine, but a small crowd attended, the 
attraction of the trout being too strong to be resisted. 
Everything went off smoothly, and all had a fine time. 
Some very good scores were made. 
The lunch put up by the Sportsmen’s Supply Co., of 
6 $ Center street, and served by Mr. Bassett, manager, 
was greatly enjoyed by all. This is quite an addition to 
our shoots, as the grounds are so far out in the suburbs 
that we have always had trouble in getting any one to 
cater, and when we had obtained some one there was 
great dissatisfaction with the quality of the food and the 
service; but since Mr. Bassett took the matter up (for 
the last three or four tournaments) there has been great 
satisfaction. The club is greatly indebted to Mr. G. M. 
Wheeler, of Brunswick, Ale., representing the Peters 
Cartridge Co., for his kindness and courtesy in fore¬ 
going the pleasure of shooting the programme and coming 
into the office and running the shoot. He ran the office 
in a most satisfactory manner, and all the shooters were 
greatly pleased with his good work. 
Mr. II. S. Welles was the only other trade representa¬ 
tive with us. and he was actual "second high gun with a 
score of 160. Mr. Welles represents the American 
Powder Mills. The following shooters came from out of 
town: Edgarton, Willimantic, high gun; Porter. Bristol, 
Conn., seventh; Conlin, Unionville, Conn., eighth; Noel, 
Nashville, Tenn. (at Yale), eleventh; Comrade, East 
Hampton, Conn., fifteenth; also R. H. Smith, Seymour, 
Conn., fourth; Lines, Portchester, N. Y.; Cooper, Sey¬ 
mour, Conn.: Mills, Bristol, Conn.; Bostwick, New 
York city. The balance of the shooters were from New 
Haven. The balance of prizes taken by New Haven 
men, as follows: Hepburn, second, Kelly third, Arcy 
fifth, Mack sixth, Whitney seventh, Bristol tenth. Hem- 
meller twelfth, Sherman thirteenth, Morrissey fourteenth.

est stand was 22yds. from a trap and 30yds. was the limit. 
It- was a hard game, but Coleman, with his "pump” 
negotiated 2 of the 5 pairs and 2 singles, which gave him 
first wan on the scries. No. 4 was at 25 targets, a cup for 
high “pump” gun and a fine desk clock for high double 
gun. Coleman was “there” with his “pump” and Bland- 
ford took the clock with his Parker. Two barrels were 
allowed in this event the feature of which was the fine 
second barrel work of Col. Brandreth.
