Emerald Gan Club. 
Carlstadt, N. J., May 17. — The weather was raw and nasty. The 
birds were a poor lot as a whole. Owing to the light shifting, 
most members were undershooting their birds. Charles and 
Whitley did not finish their scores, as there were not enough 
birds. They will shoot up at the next club meeting. Mr. - Al. 
Schoverling shot in fine form, taking first money in optional sweep; 
Colquitt and Van Valkenburg divided second money;' Cotton 
third. 
Colquitt's two dead out were rappers, and fell just over the line. 
Kali drew fast ones in his first five. Schorty was far below his 
usual form. Dr. Hudson, the only charter member of the club, 
"fudged" a bit in his first 10, but scored his second 10 beautifully. 
Jake Fisher shot steadily. The scorer was "Johnnie Jones" ;' trap- 
puller, F. C. Schneider, both of the American Handicap staff in 
times past. Mr. L. H. Scho.rtemeier acted efficiently as referee.- 
Two events are for August and September. The club shoots for 
two months at each shoot so as to finish the year before" July 1, 
when the New Jersey anti-pigeon shooting law takes effect;.
