Island, April 14, Dr. Hibbard scored a leg on the April 
cup, with a full score of 25. Mr. Geo. F. Pelham, of New 
Rochelle, was the chief winner in the other events. 
* 
The contest between Messrs. Comstock and Brittan for 
the English Hotel cup, on the grounds of the Indian- 
apolis, Ind., Gun Club, on Saturday of last week, was 
won by Comstock. The scores were 76 and 66. A gale 
of wind and a dull light were conditions which insured 
low scores. 
R 
A programme of eleven 15-target events, $1.30 entrance, 
is provided by the Milton, Pa., Rod and Gun Club shoot, 
to be held in honor of the distinguished visitors, Messrs. 
Crosby, Topperwein and Hawkins, on April 25. Shooting

guns, ammunition, etc., to G. Dal Fox & Bro. 
" 
The holiday shoot held at the Point Breeze track, Phila- 
delphia, on Friday of last week, had a good entry and a 
class competition above the average. The weather was 
delightfully spring-like. Mr. Horace Young was the 
only one of the nineteen contestants who scored a straight 
25. Five, Muller, Brown, Charlton, Murphy and Butler, 
scored 23. 
Dr. C. H. Burr, Secretary, writes us that, ‘“‘At the 
annual meeting of the Monpelier, Vt., Gun Club, the 
following officers were elected for the ensuing year: 
President, Geo. B. Walton; Vice-President, Geo. E. 
Megrath; Secretary and Treasurer, Dr. C. H. Burr; 
Captain, B. A. Eastman; Executive Committee, F. R. 
Dawley, W. H. Harsington. The club holds its annual

Notwithstanding what seems to be an innate belief and 
a rigid rule of action on the part of certain club secre- 
taries, the sporting journals prefer to receive club pro- 
grammes for review before the shcots to which they 
refer, occur, rather than afterward; yet it is but charitable 
to conclude that total apathy has not supervened when 
a club secretary sends the programme for review after 
the shoot to which it refers, is forgotten. Such a strenu- 
ous officer, in the words of Sam Weller, should be loved 
by his club members better than nothing at all. 
R 
A correspondent sends us a clipping containing the fol- 
lowing interesting information: ‘‘At the Genesee Hotel 
yesterday there was a conference of representatives of 
the Riverside Gun Club and the Oneida County Sports- 
men’s Asscciation to arrange for a series of clay pigeon 
matches for a substantial sum, between John Watts, of 
the Riverside Gun Club, present holder of the local 
championship title, and John T. Teesdale, of the O. C. 
S. A. The articles of agreement call for three 50-bird 
matches, one each on the two local club grounds, and if 
a third be necessary, the selection of the grounds is to 
be decided by tossing a coin. The first match will take 
place on the Riverside grounds, Friday, April 20.”

The programme of the Delaware State Trapshooters’ 
League second annual spring tournament, under the 
auspices of the Wawaset Gun Club, Wilmington, Del.,

which will be added to the special purse. If this purse 
exceeds the aforementioned losses, the balance will go to 
the high guns of the two days. Shooting will commence 
at 9 o’clock. Dinner and shells obtainable on grounds.

BERNARD WATERS. 

In Colorado. 
PueEsLo, Colo.—At the Pueblo Gun Club grounds, April 
5, Mr. Collins won the.honors for the day, scoring 68 
out of a possible 70, and is the proud possessor of the 
shotgun offered by the club to the member making the 
high total score in four weeks’ shooting, with 142. Mr. 
Stroh took the lead among the handicap men, winning a 
straight of 25, and his score of 28 out of 30 is also good 
for the Ballistite trophy. 
Denver, Colo.—In California, which is an arid country, 
huge reservoirs have been constructed to catch the 
snow, some of them covering three, four and five sec- 
tions of land (640 acres each). The duck shooters are 
much agitated, for the ducks are fast going from the 
rivers to the reservoirs, and as Mr. Ralph Talbot said 
yesterday, “‘these reservoirs are so vast, it will soon take 
a_party of one hundred hunters to put the birds to 
flight.” It may not be long before the rivers have no 
game at all, the ducks all seeking artificial ponds. The 
snowstorm raging in Leadville and extending as far as 
Grand Junction and east to Salida, is causing great re- 
joicing among the fishermen, as it will afford plenty 
of water for fishing this season. 
News comes from Wyoming that Mr. W. Condict, of 
Bennett, killed several days ago old Lobo, a notorious 
gray wolf that has terrorized the ranching district for 
several years. It is estimated old Lobo has destroyed 
calves, sheep and colts to the value of $5,000. The 
ranchmen held a price of $500 on his scalp. He was the 
boldest and most cunning wolf that ever “ham strung” 
a “critter.” His companion was also killed by Mr. 
Condict, who 1s receiving congratulations from his many 
friends in Denver. 
Mrs. Nellie Bennett was in Denver Monday and Tues- 
day en route to Kansas, where she will spend several 
weeks.” Discussed the kindness of Forest aND STREAM 
in not publishing the score she and the Misses Ball made 
at the Trinidad shoot. Declared they had to “pull snow 
and ice from their eyes before they could fire.” The 
weather conditions were the worst they had ever en- 
countered.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Cotumsus, O., April 14.—Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. H. 
E Smith each landed a 25 straight. Wind good and
