Alert Gun Club. 
PHILLIPSBURG, N, J.—On account 
year, as has been the case for the last two years on 
Labor Day, the Alert Gun Club third annual Labor Day 
tournament was not as well attended as was expected. 
The rain started early in the morning and kept up until 
about 11 o’clock, when the weather cleared, but as the 
Visitors usually leave their homes early in the morn 
ing to reach these grounds, they did not leave, fearing 
the rain would not stop during the day, 
With this serious drawback taken into consideration, 
the crowd on hand was very good, and about 4,500 tar- 
gets were thrown during the day. 
of rain again this 
Neaf Apgar, of the Peters Cartridge Co., and Mr. 
Lewis, of the E. I, Dupont Co., were present as pro- 
fessionals and shot through the programme. 
The shooting was not as good as usual over these 
traps, and the reason given for it was that the bright 
sun shining over the traps made it almost impossible 
to be able to tell whether the target was raising or 
dropping after it left the trap. 
Neaf Apgar was high for professionals, and E. F. 
Markley high for the amateurs, with E. E. Bates and 
V. H. Raub, Jr., closely following. 
After the tournament was over, Mrs. R. 
H. Nicol, of 
Washington, N. who was present with some other 
ladies, gave an exhibition of what a young lady can 
do with a shotgun. This was the first time she ever 
shot over this trap, and by the manner 
targets were broken by her, it could easily be seen that 
with a little practice she could easily outshoot her 
husband, who is a representative of the E. I. Dupont 
Co., and a shooter of some repute. No doubt some- 
time she will travel in company with her husband as a 
target smashing pair. The following is the score:

TuHE tournament of the Virginia Trapshooters’ Associa-

held on the same grounds where the Southern Handicap

contest for the Johnson-Lyon cup, which was donated 
jointly by Messrs. George Lyon, of Durham, N., C., and 
Dr. J: G. Johnson, Mayor of Raleigh. The winner of 
this event was to receive a gold medal, and in the event 
of the same contestant winning it twice, he has the 
choice between a gold medal and the cup. This con- 
test resulted in a tie between Messrs. T. Baskerville and
