TRAP SHOOTING

An event. sai1 to he unique In the trap
shooting annals OF the state, Ii TO be
inaugurated by the Providence Gun club
at a meeting tomorrow II is proposed,
az an impetus To the sport, to offer
silver cup as a competition trophy for
which the trap shooters OF the State may
compete, and for the possession or which
the winner OF the cup may be challenged
TO shoot by anyone who wishes TO con-
test for the cup. The cup is TO have a
value OF 800, the money being raised by
subscribtion among the local trap
shooters.
At the meeting tomorrow at the head
quarters of the Providence Gun club In
East Providence the details of the cup
contest will be arranged and IL is pos
sible that the first match for the cup will
take place during January. The Provi-
dence and Woonsocket Gun clu.@are the
principal organizations OF this character
in the state. but there are some minor
trap shooting clubs, and the number or
men interested more or less actually
throughout Rhode Island IL by no means
inconsiderable. Among them, besides
the worlds champion, Eugene G. Grff-
filth of Pascoag, are many fine shots, and
TO those already well known as men of
tried skill at the blue rocks are added a
number OF new men whose ability Is un-
known, but whose enthusiasm Is quite ap-
parent, so that the new departure appears
to be slated for a. hearty welcome among
lovers OF wing shooting.
There will be some shooting at the
meet tomorrow, which. as New Year S
day, Is a holiday in the state.
