Trap at Bradford. 
Braprorp, Pa., Dec, 10.—Now that the hunting season 
is closed, the shooters are again taking to the traps, and 
we expect to be active during the winter months, as we 
lave a good warm club house, and many prefer to be 
there on Saturday afternoon and visit with the active 
shooters, 
There is a great number of our members beginning to 
talk State shoot for 1908, and Bradford expects to do 
herself proud for this shoot. 
We have just had our first tracking snow, and it has 
enabled the boys to bring in a number of wildcats and 
foxes, and get the bounty on them that our last Legisla- 
ture passed. They get $4 for a cat and $2 for a fox, 
and the writer thinks that it is a good thing, and that 
the game will increase in the future, as there are a great 
many wildcats and foxes in our forests, and they destroy 
a large number of birds and rabbits. 
We had a very nice shoot Saturday afternoon, and T. 
F. Conneely was high gun; he made 97 out of his first 
100, and L. E. Mallory, Jr., was second high. Charlie 
Jones, who played middle fieid with the Washington 

FOREST AND STREAM. 

[DEc. 21, 1907. 
a 
American League team, is wintering here, and he has 
been shooting some with us. For a beginning, he has 
shown us that, besides hitting twisters in the baseball 
season, he can hit targets with the scatter gun. His 
score, 23 out of 25, in the team race, on a dark day, is 
going some, and when he+gets some more experience, he 
will make the best of them step some. 
We are going to hold a Christmas turkey shoot for the 
members only. The following are the scores:

New Haven Gun Club. 
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 11.—We had our regular 
monthly shoot to-day after a vacation of two months, 
good scores were made under the circumstances. The 
chief event was a team race, between Yale and New 
Haven, which was won by the latter by 9 birds. In 
this race Hebard, of Yale, failed to show up, so I scored 
him equal to the high man on his team. But even if he 
made a perfect score we would still win by 6 birds; 
therefore I think we are perfectly justified in claiming 
the victory. Only three contestants shot in the trophy 
race, as the rest of the contestants are practically out of 
the race. 
The club will hold an all-day tournament on New Year’s 
Day, and we invite all to attend. Programmes and list 
of prizes will follow later. 
I should like to have placed in your list of fixtures 
the New Year’s and Washington’s Birthday tournaments 
of our club.

New York Athletic Club. 
TRAVERS Istanp, N. Y., Dec. 14.—It has certainly been 
demonstrated to-day that the shooting contingent of the 
New. York Athletic Club cannot be prevented from in- 
dulging in their favorite sport by anything the elements 
may do, for to-day in the face of a blizzard of hail and 
rain and a 60-mile northeaster, right in the face of the 
nine shooters, who were bundled up in all kinds of 
grotesque attire to keep out the weather, it was im- 
possible for the boys to keep their balance and they 
were frequently blown off the platform; but we ran off 
four events, and my, such scores! 
Event 1, December cup, was won by J. J. O’Donohue. 
Event 2, Sauer gun, was won by Schauffler from scratch. 
Event 3, Hunter cup, was won by Dugro. Event 4, 
Walsrode cup, was won by Greiff, 
The committee are considering agitating the question 
of organizing the Amateur Trapshooting Association of 
America, under whose auspices all amateur shoots of 
importance shall be run off,

The Interstate Association. 
PirtsgurG, Pa., Dec. 14.—At the annual meeting of the 
stockholders of the Interstate Association, held in New 
York city, on the $th inst., a resolution was adopted 
thanking the sportsmen’s journals, honorary members of 
the Association, for the generous space accorded in the 
way of preliminary notices and tournament reports; for 
publishing matters of general and particular interest to 
the subscribers to the Association, and for keeping the 
Association’s work well before the public,

Montclair Gun Club. 
Monrcrarr, N. J.—The annual meeting of the Mont- 
clair Gun Club was held in the dining room of the 
Montclair Club on the evening of Saturday, Dec. 14. 
After partaking of a most 
the steward of the club, the meeting was called to order 
by the president, Mr. George Batten. The reports of the 
secretary and treasurer showed the club to be in a most 
flourishing condition. <A larger membership, a more 
commodious club house, all bills paid, and a comfortable 
balance in the bank, were some of the points brought out 
in the reports. 
Announcement was made of the gift of the loving cup 
by Mr, A. R. Allan, for the first prize at the champion- 
ship of Metropolitan clubs, shoot, to be held on April 1, 
1908; of the gift of a handsome cup by Mr. Frank L. 
Barnes, a silver water pitcher by Mr. G. W. Boxall, and 
of $50 by Mr. L. W. Colquitt, to purchase prizes. The 
gifts of the last three gentlemen are open to member of 
the club only, no entrance fee being required. 
The president announced that he would offer a trophy 
for the resident member making the best net record 
during the year, 
The chairman of the nominating committee reported 
the following nominations: President, Mr, George Bat- 
ten; Secretary, Mr. Edward Winslow; Treasurer, Mr. 
S. R. Soverel; Field Captain, Mr. A. R. Allan; chairman 
Handicapping Committee, Mr. P. H. Cockefair. 
These officers, with F. W. Moffett and L. W. 
comprise the Board of Governors. 
There being no other nominations, they were declared 
elected. After discussing plans for the year 1908, the 
club adjourned. 
There was no regular shooting to-day, as the fierce 
gale made it next to impossible to throw the targets. 
The carriers were kept continually wet and the targets 
slipped out too soon.

Mountain View Gun Club. 
Troy, N. Y., Dec. 14.—A heavy snowstorm prevailed 
here all day. This was the cause of the small attendance 
at the shoot of the Mountain View Gun Club. Despite 
the storm, ten of the boys faced the traps. Good scores 
were out of the question. ‘ 
The handicap for the Ithaca gun was postponed until 
next Saturday. As soon as this contest is finished the 
club will start another handicap for the Ballistite-Empire 
medal, which we received to-day from J. H. Lau & Co, 
On Dec, 28, the Pine Hills Gun Club, of Albany, will 
hold a shoot, at which time a league will be formed 
among the gun clubs of this vicinity.

Independent Gun Club. 
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 16.—The scheduled date for 
the Independent Gun Club’s special shoot on Saturday 
last was a rank disappointment as regards weather. The 
gale and downpour prevented many from reaching the 
grounds, and the majority of the members felt reason- 
ably sure a postponement was in order. The contest was 
arranged for the McCarty trophy, donated by Mr. G, S. 
McCarty, and to consist of 100 targets, l6yds. rise, with 
sealed added target handicap. 
Ten shooters braved the elements and turned up at the 
Keystone League grounds, Holmesburg Junction, pre- 
pared to do their part. Six shot at 100 targets each and 
made the following scores: Cantrell 78, Griffith 61, 
Severn 59, Pratt 59, Tansey 58, Hite 75. No officer of the 
club being present, the handicaps were not available. 
Mr. Cantrell’s good margin over his nearest competitor 
renders the handicaps practically superfluous, and. while 
this popular member is seemingly entitled to the prize, 
it is confidently expected that he will refuse to count it 
a win, and that the beautiful prize will form the nucleus 
for a more satisfactory competition in the near future.
