Newark Gun Club's Monthly. 



The monthly shoot of the Newark Gun Club, held on John Erh's 

 "Old Stonehouse" grounds, on Thursday, May 10, was attended by 

 only six club members, although there were several outsiders on 

 hand, among them being John S. Dustin, formerly of Harrisburg, but 

 now of Newark. 



The afternoon was cold and raw, but this did not prevent the birds 

 from making a good showing and flying hard enough to keep the 

 scores low. Those used in the club shoot were a first class lot and 

 good judgment was required to kill them. 



The opening event was a "Jersey" sweep. 4 birds, $3 entry, two 

 moneys; event No. 2 was the same; No. 3 was the club shoot at 10 

 birds, this being also an optional sweepstake; No. 4, the final event 

 was another " Jersey" sweep. The scores were: 



No. 1. No. 2. No. 1.

 customers all the fishing-tackle he can afford to pay for. That is where We 

 get back a good deal more than cost of catalogue and postage.
