ness men will assist the club and the citizens generally

B. S. A. Shoot. 
3ALTIMORE, Md.—The third and final shoot of the tri- 
State contests was held at the Baltimore Shooting Asso- 
ciation grounds, Monday, Feb. 26, and was won by the 
Delaware team. This, with the prior win, establishes 
Delaware’s victory in the series. The scores were: Del- 
aware $14, Pennsylvania 805, Maryland 779. 
While Monday’s score was not as high as that made 
at the first shoot in Wilmington, Feb. 1,-good work 
was done, considering the conditions. The wind was 
high, the targets were not rotating well, and the traps 
had on ‘‘their company manners,” causing frequent de- 
lay in the squad’s shooting. One would have to be 
Argus-eyed to keep up with the targets broken, and a 
“three-ring circus’ was easy compared to it. 
Six barrels of targets failed to arrive at the grounds 
on time, and a number of old targets which had been 
thrown, were used. Much interest was taken in this 
shoot, and it was largely attended. Besides, the crack 
shots, many ladies were present. It was seen from the 
start (next to Maryland), the Delaware team was the 
favorite with the fair sex, and never was a finer looking 
set of men sent from any State. 
The best individual score was made by J. Mowell 
Hawkins, of Baltimore, who broke 92. Lester German 
was second for the home squad with 90, and Ed. Banks 
was high gun for Delaware with 91. H. E. B. Buck- 
walter and Mink, of Pennsylvania, each scored 90. 
There were four sweepstake events, 25 targets each, 
before the tri-State shoot. The scores:

The next shoot of interest to be held in the East will 
be at the Wawaset Gun Club grounds, Wilmington, Del., 
May 9 and 10, when the Delaware State championship 
is to be decided. The event will be 100 targets per man. 
A trophy of plate or bronze will be put in play by the 
Wawaset club, to be shot for on the second day in an 
open competition to all shooters residing within 150 
miles of Wilmington. This will give shooters from as 
far as New York or Washington a chance to enter. 
The trophy is to be a challenge affair. After the opening 
shoot for it, there will be twenty-two individual challenge 
shocts. When these are ended, each shooter who has 
won the trophy once or oftener, is to shoot in a final 
race for the coveted prize on the Wawaset club grounds. 
In the challenge shoots the holder of the cup will desig- 
nate on what grounds he will defend it. We predict the 
trophy will never leave the State of Delaware. 
Chinese jugglers would have been put to shame at the 
way high balls were going at the shoot. Not a one 
went to the ground, either. 
Jim Skelly’s apple cheeks and pearly teeth were the 
envy and admiration of all the pretty girls on the club 
house piazza. 
Ed. Banks lost a target to give an admirer a smile, 
b&t his chivalry prompted him to say, ‘It was worth it.” 
He had no regrets. 
More maps of Pennsylvania have been sold since the 
26th than ever before. All want to know when New 
Jersey was annexed (?). 
Many men were offering weak apologies for their 
strong breath at the shoot. 
Perhaps in the re-incarnation there will be some good 
shots mustered out, for the Baltimore team races. 
SoctaL TRAMP. 
Hell Gate Gun Club. 
New Yorx.—The results of the Hell Gate Gun Club 
shoots of 1905 are appended herewith. In the rules of 
the club, the high average man must shoot in eight out 
of the ten contests. His prize is third, and no better 
at any finish of the year. It so happened that L. H. 
Schortemeier won high average, but finished third in 
position, so that there was no argument.

Great Island Gun Club. 
Fatt River, Mass., Feb. 26.—The gunners assembled 
on Feb. 22 at Great Island Gun Club shoot were favored 
by good weather; although there was a stiff wind blow- 
ing, the club held a very successful clay pigeon tourna- 
ment. It was the first shoot of the season, and attracted 
competition from New Bedford, Providence and other 
places, besides members of the Great Island Club. 
E. G. Bullard, secretary of the Paskamansett Gun 
Club, of New Bedford, was high man with a score of 126 
out of a possible 150, shooting at 19yds. W. A. Dring, 
of Newport, second, with 124 at 19yds. All the rest of 
the shooters stood at l6yds. 
President Chas. Letendre, of the Great Island Club, 
scored 113, and the secretary, Philip Letendre, made 105. 
The scores are as follows: E. G. Bullard 126, W. A. 
Dring 124, Mason 117, Eggers 114, Bowler 114, C. 
Letendre 113, Murray 108, P. Letendre 105, Thomas 102, 
Peckham 98, Simmons 93, Knowles 90, A. Niles 88, M. 
Shea 84, Menard 84, Austin 78, Slade 73, J. Audet 67, 
L. Giroux 60, E. Suprenaut 60, L. Letendre 50, Joseph

Ossining Gun Club. 
OsstnincG, N. Y., Feb. 22.—On Washington’s Birthday 
the Ossining Gun Club held one of the most successful 
shoots in its history. The President of the club, Col. 
Franklin Brandreth, has the faculty of getting the boys 
out when he wants them. -Once each year for the past 
few years he has given a President’s shoot, and now the 
mere mention of it and the date is all that is necessary 
to set the boys planning to connect with the gun club 
range on that day. One hundred dollars wrapped up in 
nine handsome prizes is indeed something to make you 
get your shooting clothes on, and the members were 
there twenty-two strong to shoot through the programme. 
The announcement in one of the papers devoted to trap- 
shooting without the mention of its being strictly a club 
affair, brought out fourteen requests for programmes, 
which of course had to be turned down, for the events 
which started at 2 P. M. and ended at 5:30, called for 
about 3,000 targets. Four non-members of the club shot 
through. Mr. Robt. B. Lawrence, of New York city, 
was the guest of honor of Col. Brandreth. Mr. H. 
Manchester, of Pascoag, R. I., and Messrs. R. Ruhlenden 
and E. Wagner, also of New York city, who are shortly 
to become members. Targets were thrown 60yds., which, 
with a heavy wind, made high scores impossible. 
Winners in Class A, scratch, were as follows: W. H. 
Coleman won first, a silver-lined copper chafing dish, on 
a tie shoot-off with A. Traver, of Poughkeepsie; E. A 
Staples, second, a silver and copper loving cup; C. G. 
Blandford won third, a silver fruit dish; A. Bedell cap- 
tured fourth, a stag-handled pitcher, and G. B. Hubbell 
sawed off a tie for fifth with S. R. MacDonald, of Yon- 
kers and won a silver cake dish. 
In Class B, misses as breaks, handicap, Wm. Fisher 
won first, a chafing dish; J. Fred Hahn got second, a 
silver loving cup; . Smith was third, winning a 
chocolate set; Capt. B. B. McAlpin got the last, but 
not the least handsome prize, an ebony-handled silver 
pitcher.

Port Cuester, N. Y., March 2.—The Remington Gun 
Club shoot on Feb. 22 was a success considering the un- 
favorable condition of the wind, which made shooting 
very difficult. The shoot was well attended by visitors 
from Ossining, White Plains and other places. 
The prizes in the merchandise event were won as_fol-

Rochester Rod and Gun Club. 
Rocuester, N. Y., March 28.—The series for the

Gun Club was concluded to-day. The rigorous weather

and Coughlin. The scores follow, one of which was a 
back score by Mr. Borst, and which enabled him to win
