The Gun Club

Paul Bancroft '99, who last year won permanent possession of the Founder's Cup, has offered in its place a very handsome cup to be shot for under similar conditions, except that the winner in each monthly contest will have to make the best score out of twenty shots instead of fifteen. The first match for the new cup, which took place yesterday, resulted in a tie between E. Mallinckrodt '00 and B. S. Blake '01, who each made a score of eighteen.

The Gun Club has adopted a system of silver badges in the form of birds. They are of three grades: expert, first class, and second class. In order to obtain the grade of expert a perfect score of 25 must be shot. Two scores of 15 straight entitle the candidate to the first class grade, and three scores of 20 out of 25 qualify for the second class. Yesterday Blake, Mallinckrodt and Phelps won the second grade medals.
