Bergen Coxmty Gun Club. 
Notwithstanding tlie unfavorable weather conditions, 'trap- 
shooters were present in goodly numbers at the Bergen County 
Gun Club's shoot, Hackensack, on wSaturday, the 12th inst. A 
heavy fog supplemented the difficult propositions ollrered by a 
lively new set of expert blue rock traps. The targets were very 
fast as a rule. At times so dense Was the fog tlie targets were 
almost lost to view when at the highest altitude of flight. Late 
in the afternoon the fog lifted, but not till the main events wcra 
over. Under the conditions the scores were good. 
A free lunch was given to the shooters by the club. Mr. Geo. 
P. Griffiths, the president, acted as cashier; .lohn R. Banta, cap- 
tain, was a most eflficient squad hustler, and Messrs. C. O. Gard- 
ner, Jr., secretary, and H. D. Warner, treasurer, assisted efficiently. 
The main event was the President's Cup, 50 birds, unknown 
angles.

an all-day shoot at targets to-day. There was a heavy fog all 
the time, and heavy rain part of the time. Under such conditions, 
it was only to be expected that the attendance would be small, 
and the scores correspondingly low. 
Everything is in readiness for our shoot on Washington's Birth- 
day, on which date our club will give the glad hand to all our old 
friends and to new ones. To all we say: "Come the night before 
the shoot, and be in it from the Start. Shooting commences 
promptly at 9 .A.. Ai.

The opening of Elkwood Park shooting grounds will be on 
Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22. The VVashington Handicap, 
15 birds, $7.50 entrance, birds extra, handicaps from 25 to 31yds. 
Miss-and-out events on other sets of traps. 
This being the opening of the Elkwood Park shooting grounds 
for the season of 1898, we will select tfee groijnds most favorable 
to the birds. 
As we, having three sets of traps, it is possible to select one 
that will make the birds most difficult, as the desire of the man- 
agers of Elkwood Park is to make trap-shooting as difficult as 
possible. 
Also affording those who anticipate taking part in the Grand Amer- 
ican Handicap an opportunity to practice on the grounds where 
the above event will be shot. Plenty of birds will be on hand, 
and the management promise an enjovablc day's sport.

Boston Gtin Club. 
VVfiLLiNGTOA., Mass., Feb. 9.— The expert and amateur grazed 
elbows at WeUrngton, W ednesday, and the result was a very pleas- 
ant and more than usually mtercstmg Boston Gun Club shoot 
Sixteen members were out for fun, and it would seem that ali 
tound what they were seeking, jokes and jollies being much in 
evidence. 
It affords rathei- a pleasant lesson that not "a coin changes hands 
on the different events during all these afternoon shoots, yet 
never is- there lacking positive interest and good-natured rivalry. 
. Ihe beauties of the Boston Gun Club distance handicap, now 
in use tor seven to eight years, were again exploited with Leroy, 
holding down a 21yds. mark, and making scores on variable tar- 
gels alter three months' lack of practice that an average shooter 
would be well pleased with. The five extra yards enabled him 
and Ins Kemmgton a chance they were not slow to take hold of 
and a little shooting at the distance where he rightfully belongs 
m comparison with other less accomplished shots would rather 
augment his present reputation as an expert than otherwise. 
A State association that would start the ball rolling with the 
experts fairly graded yard oy yard, and thev amateurs likewise, 
all clubs to follow the lead, would do more for trap-shooting in 
the New England States than all the added moneys and added 
birds put together.

Philadelphia Trap-Shooters' League continues to flourish, 
each of the eleven clubs composing the League being represented 
by a team at the tenth monthly shoot of the League held Sat- 
urday, Feb. 5. Does anybody know of a better or more en- 
tliusiastic organization than this one that is domiciled in the 
City of Brotherly Love? It would seem as if the system of 
handicapping adopted for the team race was about the proper 
thing, judging from the manner in which interest in these monthly 
gatherings is sustained from month to month. 
A glance at the list of fixtures for Washington's Birthday 
shows that there is ample opportunity for anybody who wants 
to^ shoot on that day to gratify his desire. And by the way, it 
might be as well for club secretaries and managers of tourna- 
ments to make a note of the fact that, if they want their shoots 
to receive proper attention at the hands of the general shooting 
public, they should send in their announcements of the same as 
early as possible to Fokest and .Stkuam,
