North River Gun Club. 
Epcewater, N. J., March 3.—Mr. G. W. Allison, presi- 
dent of the club, won a leg on the trophy, with F. Truax 
a close second. These were remarkable scores, owing to 
the fact that they were shot in a great northeast storm, 
and oh, didn’t it rain and blow!

Palisade Gun Club. 
EpcGewaTer, N. J.—The eighth regular shoot of the 
Palisade Gun Club was held on W ashington’s Birthday 
with the smallest attendance ever had. This we account 
for in part by the many other shoots scheduled for that 
day and the desire of many to shoot at their home clubs 
for various holiday trophies instead of in sweepstake 
events, with added money, as is always shot for at our 
tournaments. 
The weather, too, was against us, as although the day 
was clear and the sun shone brightly, there was a very 
heavy wind, which jumped and ducked the targets as 
well as making the angles extremely difficult, not to 
speak of the sliding distance handicap, 16 to %0yds., which 
lowered many scores, and not a straight was made during 
the day, with some of the best amateur shots around 
New York competing. 
High average was again won by Mr. Geo. Piercy, who 
seems to have gotten these grounds down as well as 
“lead” for the sliding handicaps. 
The management was in the hands of our usual com- 
petent staff, and many extras were shot before and after 
the programme. 
Our next regular tournament is on March 22, when 
$23 will be added to the purses,

The distinguished citizen had returned from a trip 
abroad. “Did the Old W orld give you the glad hand?” 
they asked him. “Oh, yes,” he said, ‘‘or, rather, it gave 
me the expectant hand. It wasn’t the glad hand until 
IT had put.the tip into it.”—Chicago Tribune. 
Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Ripce, L. I., March 3.—The heavy rainstorm was 
not sufficient to deter the Crescent shooters, for there 
were enough in attendance to make good competition, 
Messrs. Frank B. Stephenson and H. M. Brigham tied 
in the contest for the March cup on 23. Both are scratch 
men. Mr. J. N. Teeter was high with a straight score 
in the contest for the Stake trophy. The leg on the two- 
man team match was won by Messrs. Frank B. Stephen- 
son, and O. C. Grinnell, Jr., defeating their nearest op- 
ponents, Messrs. Low ell| M. Palmer, Jr., and Lewis 
C. Hopkins by a score of 44 to 43. Scores:

Western Pennsylvania League Proposed. 
PitrspurG, Pa., Feb. 26.—Editor Forest and Stream: 
The near approach of the opening of the trapshooting 
season of 1906 has brought the suggestion that it might 
be well to again form a Trapshooters’ League in the 
western end of our State. With that object in view a 
meeting of the different gun clubs in western Pennsyl- 
vania has been called to Tuesday, March 6, at 1 P. M., 
at the Spertsmen’s Supply Co., 623 Smithfield street, 
Pittsburg, Pa., to discuss ways and means for forming a 
league on such lines as may be agreeable to all clubs 
represented, 
All clubs in western Pennsylvania are invited to have 
a representative present and become members of the 
league. CHARLES G. GRUBB. 
Louts LAUTENSLAGER. 
Mary—They issued a hundred and fifty wedding invita- 
tions. Jane—Did they get many valuable presents? ‘‘No. 
they barely made expenses.’’—Life.
