way to become a law, specially so, if each trapshooter waits for the 
other fellow to oppose it.

North Side Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Jan. 28.— The members of the North Side Gun 
Club were hosts, and the Jackson Park Gun Club members were 
guests, at the successful shoot held to-day. Their club house at 
Riverside, was taxed to its limit of room to shelter the attend- 
ance. 
Mr. Frank Butler was the only trade representative present, and 
he was high man of the day. 
Mr. Wm. Dutcher, though a guest, worked diligently with Capt. 
Banta and Secretary Terhune, to keep things running smoothly 
and to make a success of the shoot. Shooting commenced at 2 
o'clock, and the visitors arrived at 3 o'clock, the interval of time 
being devoted to some short events of 10 and 15 targets. 
The third event had merchandise prizes, a fishing rod being the 
award to the highest score. 
Since live-bird shooting in New Jersey was prohibited, the trap- 
shooters of Paterson have done very little shooting. They are 
about to resvime at the traps. Before long the Jackson Park Gun 
Ciub will be active again. 
Several new gvm clubs have been organized about Paterson, 
and the prospect is much better for the sport. An open tourna- 
ment is contemplated as a trapshooting event at Paterson this 
year.
