BERNARD WATERS. 
Analostan Gun Club. 
Wasuinecton, D. C., Oct. 27.—The Analostan Gun Club 
closed the season yesterday. Of course, there was much 
interest manifested in the closing shoot, as this contest 
decided the winners of the watch fobs offered by the 
club and the trophies presented ry different manufactur- 



ing concerns, which were in competition for five months. 
The membership of the club was divided into three 
classes, A, B and C, and all contests for the prizes were 
governed by the distance handicap system; that is, from 
16 to 22yds. All the winners were on the back marks. 
In Class A, Miles Taylor won first and the Peters cup. 
John Coleman, treasurer, won second, and J. H. Hunter 
won third. 
In Class B, M. B. Hogan won first and the Dupont 
trophy; C. S. Wilson won second and Dr. Taylor third. 
In Class C, Dr. Jesse Shoup won first and the Hunter 
Arms Co. medal, Dr. Allan Wolfe won second and Mr. 
J.. Moffett won third. 
In the Class A battle Dan Orrison pressed the winner 
very closely, and it was a toss-up which would win. Mr. 
Orrison was sadly out of form, and Taylor won out. In 
losing first place he tied with Jos. Hunter for third 
place, both having won the same number of thirds, and 
in the shoot-off Hunter won. There were no ties in the 
B Class; but in the C Class, Shoup and Geyer tied for 
first. The former won on the shoot-off. Dr. Wolfe and 
H. B. Willson tied for second, and _in the former proved 
the best shot in deciding the tie. Mr. Moffett distanced 
his field for third place. 
The club gives the winners in each class a gold, silver 

and bronze watch fob respectively. The design is em- 
blematic of the Capitol and trapshooting. 
The afternoon was wound up with a 50-target champion- 
shoot from the 1l6yd. mark. The conditions were a 
trophy to the winncr of first; 60 per cent. of the purse 
to second and 40 per cent. to third. Jos. H. Hunter and 
Dr. Wm. C.. Barr tied for first place, scoring 43 out of 
50; Miles Taylor won second on 41 out of 50, and O, F. 
James won third on 40 out of 50. The birds were thrown 
very high and 60 or 65yds. Following are the scores 
for the 50-target event and the practice shooting. The 
practice shooting was all done back of the 20yds. mark, 
ship 

and the scores were low.

Random Shots. 
If the reader does not believe that a hard target and 
shooting from 22yds. make poor scores, read the above 
and be convinced. 
It “listens” now like everybody in the club, from the 
oldest to the youngest had enough of distance handicap 
shooting. 
Is there any sense in throwing such a hard target? 
It almost makes the old shooters throw fits and the 
young ones won’t throw their mazuma away shooting at 
them. Hawkins, German, and in fact any of the profes- 
sionals—and this is not intended to be personal— 
couldn’t run 150 straight on such targets as were thrown 
yesterday in ten years. 
Every one was glad to see Hogan win in his class. He 
is a hard worker for the club, and could give Charlie 
North some good advice on the Leggett trap. Mike 
swears by certain shells and powder, and while he can 
equal Frank Butler in talking he cannot quite reach 
German’s gait in shooting. 
There would have been another story to tell in the C Class 
if Fred Geyer had shaved the comb off of his gun stock 
earlier in the season. After he got it doctored up he 
made them ‘‘go some.” 
Dr. Wolfe has been faithful the past season, and de- 
served to win. He said he could have “just about as 
much fun shooting up in the air as shooting from 22yds., 
but he did not propose to give up.” 
Jos. Hunter is always happy, and the harder the targets 
the more he shoots. He will soon leave for Indiana to 
spend a month with his brothers, and expects to have 
some good shooting while there. 
Dr. Shoup, the winner of first in Class C, will make 
a_good shot. He has improved constantly and shoots 
with excellent judgment. 
H. B. Willson has not yet found a gun that fits him. 
When he does, the boys in his class will have to hump 
themselves to beat him. 
C. S. Wilson, the president of the club, won second 
in Class B. He seemed to get in form with the closing 
shoot, as he was high man in the medal shoot, with 16 
out of 20 from 22yds. 
Uncle Billy Wagner and his right-hand man, George 
Nalley, were missed from the firing line this summer, 
Nobody ever heard either of them kick, and it is a 
pleasure to be with them. Business makes slaves of us 
all sometimes.

Prehistoric Cup. 
From the Sunday Call, 
ing clipping. 
of Newark, we take the follow- 
There is a trifling inaccuracy in dates, but 
in Rip Van Winkle matters a few years more or less 
are immaterial: : 
A feature at the fall tournament of the South Side 
Gun Club, to be held on Dec. 6 and 7, will be a team 
competition for the famous New Jersey championship 
live-bird trophy, which was _in constant competition 
among the marksmen of this State from 1878 to 1892, at 
which time the live-bird shooting sport was stopped by 
the Legislature. 
The State Sportsmen’s Association of New Jersey re- 
cently decided to circulate the trophy for annual com- 
petition among the clubs shooting at clay targets, and 
the competition at the local gun club’s meet will mark 
the first time it was competed for in fifteen years. 
The trophy match will be open to two-man teams, the 
members of which must be members of a club in this 
State for at least thirty days previous to the competition. 
The conditions will be 50 targets per man, entry fee 
$2. per man, 
The trophy is of solid silver, and stands about sixteen 
inches high. The Essex Gun Club, of Newark, in 1879 
was the first winner of the trophy. he team scored 
25. The same club also won it the following year. 
Other clubs which have from time to time won it are: 

Midway Gun Club, Matawan, N. J., 1884; Jersey City 
Heights Gun Club, 1887; East Side Gun Club, Newark, 
1900; Brunswick Gun Club, New Brunswick, N. Yee LOLs 
Freehold Gun Club, 1902. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Curcaco, Oct. 9.—We held our fourth shoot of the 
fourth series on the above date and eleven shooters faced 
the traps. The day was quite chilly and a haze hovered 
over the background all the afternoon, which made the 
targets very misleading. 
In the trophy event, Mr. Thomas won Class A with 
25 straight; Mr. Herr won Class B with 19 out of 25, and 
Mr. Lewis and Mr. Richards tied in Class C with 19. 
Messrs, McDonald and Lewis tied in the Dupont event 
with 13 out of 15. 
Mr. Easton won Class A in the Ballistite event with 
14 out of 15; Mr. Goetter Class B with 10, and Mr. Lewis 
Class C with 11. 
Mr. McDonald won the double-barrel Hunter Arms 
event with 23 out of 25.

Orlando Tournament. 
OrxLANDO, Fla.—The first annual tournament of the 
Orlando Gun Club was held on Oct. 23 and 24 at the 
grounds at Orlando. The attendance did not come up to 
the expectations of the management; but there were 
enough shooters present to make things go, and every- 
thing went off in good shape. 
The programme consisted of ten events of 20 targets 
each day, $10 added to each event, together with $225 
in merchandise prizes awarded in the first five events 
each day. Ties were shot off in succeeding events. 
The shoot was held under the Jack Rabbit system. 
Entrance, $2.40; targets trapped at 2 cents each, in- 
cluded in entrance. Purse money divided Rose system, 
6, 4, 3, 2. 
On account of weather conditions the targets were 
difficult, which accounts for the poor scores made, 
Among the visitors were H. N. Hall, representing the 
Peters Cartridge Co., and Messrs. Sanders and Jones, 
of the U. M. C. Co. 
Each day there were ten 20-target events, $2.40 en- 
trance, $10 added. ‘The totals of the first day follow:
