The shoot given by the Jackson Park Gun Club, at 
Paterson, N. J., Feb., 10, in honor of the phenomenal 
trapshooter, Wm. Heer, of Concordia, Kans., was a great 
success. Mr. Heer performed up to his high reputation, 
breaking 154 out of 155. A large crowd was present to 
witness the snooting. Other famous professionals present

“Sporting Life’s Trapshooting Review for 1906” is a 
work of forty-eight pages, containing an infinity of de- 
tail concerning the doings of the great shooters in the 
matches and tournaments of 1905. The records of the 
jeading professionals and amateurs for the year are given, 
and also a condensed summary of the year’s trapshooting. 
It will be sent by Sporting Life, Philadelphia, to apph- 
ccants who send five cents in stamps.

Secretary Geo. Frost, Bellevue, Ky., writes us that 
“The Northern Kentucky Gun Club will give a live-bird 
tournament on Feb. 22 at their grounds, East Newport 
Ball Park. An especially fast lot of old birds has been 
secured. A good time is promised to all that attend. 
Programmes can be obtained from the Secretary. Direct 
trip on Fort Thomas car line, fifteen minutes’ ride from 
Fountain Square, Cincinnati, O.”

The second contest of the ten-man team series, be- 
tween Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, was held 
on the grounds of the Florists’ Gun Club, Wissinoming, 
2a., on Monday of this week. Philadelphia won with a 
score of 895 out of a possible 1,000. Wilmington was 
second with a score of 882. Baltimore was third with 
844. Mr. Charles E. Mink made an extraordinary run ot 
100 straight for the Philadelphia team. It is now Bal- 
timore’s turn to take a trick.

The Delaware championship contest between Mr. Alden 
B. Richardson, holder of the trophy, and Mr. Edwara 
Banks, challenger, which took place at Dover, De'., on 
Feb. 7, was well contested, both principals scoring high. 
The scores were: Mr. Richardson 93, Mr. Banks 90. 
Thus the trophy still rests calmly in Mr. Richardson’s 
possession. Mr. Banks was suffering from a severe cold, 
which undoubtedly had more or less of an effect on his 
scores, though in the total of 175 fer the day, he was 
only one less than Mr. Richardson. The weather con- 
ditions were not of the best, though at the same time 
far from the worst. A three-man team race, 50 targets 
per man, between the Dover and Wawaset gun clubs 
was won by the Wawaset, with scores of 132 to 125.

Two matches were shot at live birds, on the Point 
Breeze track, Philadelphia, on Feb. 12, each at 25 live 
birds, $25 a side. The first was between Murphy, 30yds., 
and McDonald, 28yds. Murphy won by a score of 23 to 
22, The second match was between Toughill, 27yds., 
and Aiman, 30yds. Toughill won, scoring 238 to 22. 
Murphy also scored 10 straight in the 10-bird sweep- 
stake, ten entries. Muller, Churchill, Deist and Toughill 
tied on a full score in the 5-bird sweepstake.

Mr. A. Ballantine, at Philadelphia, Feb. 10, defended 
his title to the trophy presented by the Highland Land 
Association, to the Highland Gun Club. The first con- 
test for it was a club shoot, after which it became a 
challenge trophy. His opponent was Mr. Wayne, who 
took the place of the challenger, Mr. Newcomb, of the 
S. S. White Club, who was ill. The conditions are 100 
targets, and five consecutive wins confers title to the 
trophy. In default of five wins, the contestant winning 
it the most times by Jan. 1, 1907, becomes the owner. 
3allantime made the excellent score of 92; his opponent 
scored 72. On Feb. 22 Ballantine will defend his title 
against Mr. Pflegar. ~ 
Tuesday of this week was fixed upon for a ‘‘Veterans’ 
Day” shoot at the Point Breeze track, Philadelphia. The 
main event was at 15 birds, Rhode Island rules. Those 
rules, by the way, are excellently devised to win the 
official attention of the S. P. C. A., and add more pos- 
sible pleas for hostile legislation. Those who had sig- 
nified an intention to participate are Miles L. Johnson, 
George Shreeves and Charles Husted, of Trenton; Wil- 
liam Greenwood and Theo Muchener, of Germantown; 
John L. Brewer, of Newtonville; Henry Phill, George 
kival, Thomas B. Iovatt, Joseph T, Thorn, Daniel Kitl- 
ian, A, Felix, Thomas Waddington, F. Colbridge and 
Judge Toughill, of Philadelphia; John B. Lovatt, of Pitts- 
burg; and Frank E. Butler, of Nutley, N. J.

Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Ripce, L. I., Feb. 10.—The attendance was large, 
as usual. The light was good, though a bright glare from 
the snow was a source of more or less strain to the 
eyes. There was no wind of consequence, and the tem- 
perature was not uncomfortable. 
For the February cup, Messrs. Frank B. Stephenson 
and Henry B. Vanderveer tied for first on scores of 23, 
thus leading the fourteen other contestants in this event. 
Mr. F. B. Thomas scored 22, while eight scored 21, ot 
whom one was Dr. Silas P. Hopkins, who has scored 46 
out of 50 in the two February shoots, and is in the lead 
for the February cup. For the T. W. Stake trophy, there 
was a tie between Dr. Frank C. Raynor and Mr. H. M. 
Brigham on 22. In the shoot-off Brigham won by a 
score of 20 to 17, he shooting from scratch, while his 
opponent had an allowance of 4. Messrs. F. B. Steph- 
enson and O. C. Grinnell, Jr., scored a leg in the two- 
man team race, each breaking 21 targets. Scores:

Boston Gun Club. 
WELLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 7.—The initial shoot on the 
1906 series of the Boston Gun Club was held at Welling- 
ton to-day amid a zero thermometer and a slight snow- 
storm, which was persistent in coming up at various 
intervals and then giving way to the sun, making the 
conditions different for every event. 
Twelve enthusiasts braved the poor weather conditions, 
however, and inaugurated the season in true trapshooters’ 
style, though the shooting was considerably less than 
expected as to averages. 
Gus Greiff, shooting a $600 grade which took the eyes 
of all present, secured the only straight of the afternoon, 
and but for an unlucky last 25, with a strange load, 
would have carried off the: honors in average line. 
Carver’s consistent work landed him the high match 
score and high average, and if this is any criterion of 
coming events it will not be long before the handicap- 
per’s ax will get in its deadly work. 
Of the long-mark men, Frank easily led in the prize 
match, though in the nine events, he evened up with 
Dies whose shooting combination was a trifle out ot 
orm. 
Dr. Weld, just fresh from a duck shooting trip, could 
not quite get the gun steered in the usual 90 per cent. 
gait, but another shoot or two will show a different tune. 
Probably it was because of his not having to shoot 
alongside of his last year’s competitor for honors—Dr. 
Gleason, who at present is convalescing after an attack 
of pneumonia. Scores:
