Trap at Plainfield. ' 
PLATtf^riLD, N. J., Feb. 12.— The weather up to 12:30 was very 
unfavorable for a shoot, but after that time the weather cleared 
up finely. The match which was to be shot between Case, of 
Three Bridges, and Campbell, of Plainfield, N. J., was postponed 
to the ,17th inst. There was a good crowd present. Several 
shot a sweep till all the birds were used. That no more birds 
were on hand was a surprise to all present. Several shooters ar- 
rived later who were much disappointed at finding no birds to 
shoot at. This is the second time that they have been dis- 
appointed in a similar manner. 
The first event was a miss-and-out, $1:

Fludson ijiin Club. 
Feb. 12. — The .semi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club 
was held this week. The day was the finest of the year from a 
shooting point of view, and nearly all of the members were 
present to enjoy it. The apparently low, scores are caused in a 
measure^ by the adoption of the .Sergeant system by the club ; 
a majority of the members seem to favor the change. The next 
shoot is the regular club shoot, which occurs on Feb. 27. Eight 
events at unknown angles were deceided. Summaries:

Boiling Springs Gun Club. 
The shoot of the Boiling Springs Gun Club, of Rutherfurd, N, 
J., was lightly attended on Wednesday, the 16th inst., owing no 
doubt to the fact that, the weather was exceedingly cold and a 
gale of wind blowing. The scores made were quite creditable, 
conside'ring the unfavorable conditions. The wind blew a gale,, 
varied with powerful gusts, which made the targets follow the 
Ttiost erratic flights. There were short flights, ending in a sharp- 
pitch to the ground, or sudden jumps high in the air, or undu- 
latirig flights. Many times it was dif£cult for the shooters 
to stand steadily against the strong wind which blew steadily 
from the rear. Following are the scores of the 10-target events:
