At the New Year’s Day shoot of the Oneida County 
Sportsmen’s Association, Utica, N. Y., Mr, H. J. Bor- 
den, of J. H. Lau & Co., was’ high professional average, 
scoring 101 out of 105 shot at, over 96 per cent. Mr. 
Frank Jenny was high amateur average with 91 out of 
105. The team captained by F. Jenny won over that 
captained by Joe Wagner by a score of 249 to 232 out 
of a possible 375.

The bursting of a large water main on Thirty-fourth

and contained a large quantity of stock. The actual 
damage is estimated at $25,000. This is a serious calam-

they were about fully ready to start business in their 
new quarters,

The Coronado Country Club, Coronado Beach, Cal., 
conptemplate a tournament, to be held in April. The 
club has installed automatic traps, etc., and is earnest in 
its efforts to have all the appointments complete. The 
competition will be strictly amateur. The club also will 
donate a handsome silver challenge trophy, which will be 
shot for each year. It will become the property of him 
who wins it three times. A duplicate, on a smaller 
scale, will be given to each yearly winner. The Vice- 
President and Managing Director is W. Clayton.

The following, taken from the Public Ledger, con- 
cerns the test case in respect to the constitutionality of 
the anti-bird trapshooting law of New Jersey: ‘Mount 
Holly, N. J., Jan. 6.—Pending the decision of the Court 
of Errors and Appeals in the case of the State against 
Charles W. Davis and Rudolph F. Harned, members of 
the Philadelphia Union League, who, as members of the 
Riverton Gun Club, violated the, anti-pigeon laws for the 
purpose of testing their constitutionality, the accused 
men were required to appear before Judge Gaskill this 
morning, after being surrendered by their bondsman. 
They were arraigned the same as others considered on 
the criminal list, and they were not released until their 
bond had been renewed.”

A correspondent was so kind as to send us a clipping 
concerning the renowned match between Messrs. N. 
Bohr, of Uniontown, and John Mowry, of Lavelle, Pa., 
spectators on the Bunker Hill 
grounds,” at Shamokin, Pa. The match was at 19 birds, 
according to the press report. The Schuylkill County 
Rules enjoin as follows: ‘‘The person recovering a bird 
must use his hands alone. If a bird alight on a tree or 
any place, impracticable to be conveniently recovered, 
shooting will be allowed five minutes to 
If it is not recovered in that time it 
will be scored as a missed bird.’”’ We confess that we 
believe it impossible for a person to use his hands 
“alone” in the presence of 700 people. If the hands are 
understood to be ‘‘alone’’ the matter is still more com. 
plicated. ‘The Bohr crowd claimed the retriever had 
been pushed on the bird (the 14th) by the crowd, and 
that the bird was hit fairly, and they refused to go on 
with the match if the bird were not called dead.” ‘‘The 
Mowry men claimed Bohr’s ‘catcher’ fell on a bird instead 
of handling it solely with the hands, and refused to con-

Gun Clubs, Attention!

manent property of the club, and the individual trophies

Jackson Park Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Jan. 6.—A high gale was the most 
conspicuous weather feature. It blew almost in the 
faces of the shooters, with a result that there were 
copious, icy tears and blurred vision. Messrs. Clickner 
and Doty, however, seemed to be but little affected by 
the adverse weather. They were valiant performers for 
the Jackson Club. The Jackson team defeated the 
Mount Pleasant team by a score of 79 to 67. Morgan 
did some of the best shooting of the day. He got 18 
out of 15, and in two 10-target events, after team con- 
test, he got 10 straight and again 8 out of 10. The 
scores for the team shoot:

Mount Kisco Rod and Gun Club. 
Mr. Kisco, N. Y., Jan. 6.—The Mt. Kisco Gun Club 
held its midwinter tournament on New Year’s Day. The 
tournament was a success. Thirty-nine shooters from 
different localities were present. The Ossining Gun Club 
sent over eight shooters, who unfortunately could not 
connect with our local train, and were not here in time 
for the opening of the programme. . 
The weather was raw. The wind blew sixty miles an 
hour. Occasionally there were a few minutes’ delay on 
account of the trap, which was n. g., and between the 
high speed of the targets and the high gale of wind, the 
targets were too difficult for the shooters. 
Tke trade was well represented by W. H. Heer, F. E. 
Butler, J. S. Fanning, Sim Glover, Nicoll, Keller, Jr., 
and Harold. 
The high professional average was won by W. H. Heer, 
169 out of 185; Sim Glover was 163 out of 185; J. Fanning, 
157 out of 185. 
The amateur average was won by J. Martin, 159; G. H. 
Piercy, 142; A. Betti, 140. The scores follow:

B. S. A. Shoot. 7 
BaLTIMoRE, Md.— The annual New Year’s shoot of 
the Baltimore Shooting Association, took place Monday 
afternoon, Jan. 1, and was the largest held in many 
years. Twenty-two shooters participated, and the usual 
holiday crowd—some prompted by interest, many by 
curiosity—witnessed the events. It is gratifying to see 
that the members are once more taking active interest 
in home shoots, and if the old superstition that ‘‘what 
occurs the first day of the year will continue throughout 
the year,’ a banner twelve months may be expected. 
The first event was a $1 miss-and-out. Promptly at 
2 P. M. Captain Malone called the shooters to the score. 
Eleven men entered. Roder, Sampson and Malone 
missed their first “‘white flier,’ but put up another $1 
and came in again. Money was divided between Waters, 
Roder and Sampson. ; 
The New Year’s Handicap at white fliers was next 
on the programme. The annual 20-bird race had to be 
cut to 15 on account of so many entries, and it was 
quite dark before that was furnished—too late for Messrs. 
Hawkins, B. G. Middleton and Dupont, who tied on 15 
straight, to shoot it ‘off. The shoot was for a very 
handsome silver loving cup, gold lined, with stag-horn 
handles, given by Captain . Malone.—quite the 
prettiest cup ever offered at the B. S. A. shoots, and 
the men, appreciating its beauty, worked extra hard to 
win it. Three tied on 15 straight, and six tied on 14. 
Owing to Hawkins’ departure, the day after the shoot 
(for two weeks), and Dupont’s leaving the day before 
he returns, the shoot-off is postponed until February.
