The South Side's New Year's Gatherin'j. 
Jan. 1. — The South Side Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., has for 
many years in succession kept open house on Niw Year's Day. 
To-day was no exception to the rule, and the result was a very 
pleasant shoot in spite of the weather. The air was very cold 
indeed, and the wind blew strongly from the northwest, Among 
the shooters who turned out to try their skill was Col. R. H. 
Breintnall, who at one time was a most familiar figure at the traps 
anywhere in New Jersey. To-day he started in badly, but pulled 
himself together when it came to unknown angles in the handicap, 
and ran 35 out of 37 at that style. This excellent finish gave a 
total of 51, one more than was needed for a highest possible. He

was chased well up by Warren Smith with 49, Asa Whitehead and 
Ike Terrill with 48, and J. Fleming with 47. 
The system of liandicapping was somewhat novel, aiid is well 
\vorth describing, judging from the results in the matter of scores. 
Each man shot at 60 targets, 25 known and 25 unknown. The 
totals were all tigtu'ed up, and then each man was awarded as 
many extra targets as he missed, plus one extra target for every 
five or portion of five that he missed. Thus Breintnall and War- 
ren Smith each broke 40 out of 50; they received 10 targets for 
those that they lost and one extra for each five of the 10, or 12 in 
all. The shoot was for a gun, and as shown below, Breintnall 
won the prize:

were: ITandicap rise, 25 birds, ,$0.25 entrance, birds extra. The 
match resulted in a tie on 23 between B. Kuser, of Trenton, and 
Hank White, of Little Silver. The tic was shot off at 15 birds,

23 with the first barrel, while Hank White used a single shell on 
17 of his 23 kills. In a 10-bird race shot before the main event, 
\Vhite went straight, and only used 11 shells on his 10 birds. 
.'\mong those present were J. L. Brewer, R. A. Archer (a promi- 
nent Philadelphian) ; A. L. Ivins, of Long Branch; Henry Koegel,

East Side Gun Club. 
Jan. 1.— The East Side Gun Club, of Newark, held a live-bird 
shoot to-day on its grounds. Ferry street, Newark. The day was 
very cold, while a strong wind blew from the northwest. There 
was a good attendance of shooters, notwithstanding the counter 
attractions in the vicinity. Fifteen men with guns were on the 
grounds, and all took part in one or more of the six sweeps de- 
cided. Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 were at 7 pigeons, $2 entrance; Nos. 5 and 
6 were $2 miss-and-outs. A peculiar feature was the score in No. 
4 event, when the eleven competitors divided themselves into si.K 
7s and five 5s; not a single 6 was recorded. No dropping for place 
there! ' In the team race (.astle and Duston, two old members of 
the Newark Gim Club, easily defeated Hassinger and Leuthauser, 
latter being dear out of foriu just now. Scores in the events were

North TTudson Rod and Gun Club. 
Jan. 1. — The North Hudson Rod said Gun Club held a live-bird 
shoot to-daj' on the Secaucus Polo Grounds. The weather was 
verj' uncomfortable for the shooters, the air being very cold, while 
a strong wind swept across the traps. The club had expected a 
larger attendance, but the unexpected is bound to happen some- 
times, and perhaps the weather had a good deal to do with the 
poor attendance. Scores were:

A very handsome list of prizes has been donated to date tar 
the Apgar benefit shoot at Orange Lake, Newburgh, N. Y. Every- 
thing promises to make this a most enjoyable gathering of shoot- 
ers, men who come together not to see how much money they 
can win, but how much fun they can get for the outlay they can 
afford to make. Harry Higginson's prize to the high score in the 
15-bird handicap at pigeons on the second day will be something 
worth winning. The entrance fee in this event is $5, birds extra. 
The dates of the shoot are Jan. 26-27. The first day's shooting is 
at targets. 
A Western cotemporary states that "It is announced that tht 
trap-shooters of Cook county will have a medal emblematic of the 
live-bird championship of the county. The medal will be paid 
for with money subscribed by the shooters themselves. The money 
for the purpose, amounting to $147, is the remainder left from 
the entertainment of the Kansas City shooters. That sum is suffi- 
cient to purchase an elaborate medal which will be a perpetual 
challenge trophy." This is where Jack Winston and his favorite 
load of Austin powder get in their favorite work again. "$147!"
