Jackson Park Gun Club. 
Most of the boys have arrived home from their first 
hunting trip, and report fairly good luck, but not as 
successful as expected on account of the stormy weather. 
G. A. Hopper and Ed. Morgan, who started Nov. 11 for 
their favorite hunting grounds, were only able to hunt 
two days on account of a severe snowstorm, 8in. on level. 
They returned with twenty-nine partridges, one rabbit 
and one gray squirrel. They report many birds, but hard 
to get after them on account of snow. Other shooters 
report fair luck on partridge, gray squirrels, and rabbits, 
but very few quail; in fact, I have not seen or heard 
of a quail being brought in. There seems to be plenty 
of rabbits in some localities, but none in other formerly 
good shooting grounds. No quail in sight at any of the 
favorite haunts of those once numerous birds. The re¬ 
sult of too many big bags and no stocking of covers. 
The replies to cards sent out for our Thanksgiving 
shoot began to come to hand the first of last week, and 
have been coming in every day since. The prospects 
are very encouraging for one of the best shoots the 
Jackson Park Club has ever pulled off, and that is say¬ 
ing a great deal, as the club has certainly run off in the 
past some very large affairs in the shooting line. The 
indications are that this shoot will be one of the hottest 
kind of company, as many of the best shots around the 
nearby country have promised to be on hand and take 
part in the day’s shooting. The special event is filling 
up very fast, and the entries received to date, which at 
the present time number twelve, all of them capable of 
breaking 8t) per cent, or over, will prove good company 
for those who intend to come to Paterson on that day, 
as every one of these entries will shoot the programme 
through. 
The special will not interfere in any way with the 
general shooting, as there are four 25-target events on 
the programme, and this event will be decided in those 
four events, so that every one who wants to can enter 
right along through the whole programme. 
The club will cater to the desires of the shooters on 
hand—if it is their desire to have sweepstake or prize 
shooting, it goes. But any shooter can shoot for the 
price of targets, and are welcome to join in any event. 
All paid representatives shoot for the price of targets 
at these grounds, and are always welcome. Lunch will 
be served, and everything done for the comfort and 
entertainment of those who visit us on Thanksgiving 
Day.

In Other Places. 
All the arrangements are being perfected for a good 
tournament, to be held on the grounds of the Newberry, 
S. C., Gun Club on Thanksgiving Day. Many clay tar¬ 
gets have been secured, and the shooters of the county 
are expected to participate. 
There will he a shooting match Nov. 27 at Piqua, O. 
Everybody invited. The prizes will consist of ducks and 
chickens. A good time is expected. 
The Prescott. Mich., Gun Club will this fall make a 
trip to- the Upper Peninsula for their annual hunt. 
Two covered wagons belonging to the members of the 
Adirondack Gun Club started on Thursday last for Boreas 
River. Some of those who accompany the party are 
Howard Bokcr. Chas. Roach, Fred Slocum, A. W. 
Thompson, Norman Doroes and Wallace Thayer. 
Large preparations are being made for a bluerock and 
live-bird shoot at Aplin Beach, Thanksgiving Day. 
The five gun clubs of Hardin county, la., are /con- 
♦ributing to a fund to be used in buying a trophy. This 
trophy will be up for regular contests between the clubs, 
and will no doubt create a healthy interest. 
In and about Ames, la., the shooting at the traps will 
now revive, as the shooters have returned from their 
hunt on the lake. The Ames boys think they can win 
the trophy. 
At the annual election of the Troy, O., Shotgun Club 
the following officers were chosen: Harry Eddy, Presi¬ 
dent; W. J. Parson, Vice-President; George Pratt, Secre¬ 
tary and Treasurer. The first shoot was held Nov. 8. 
Visitors to the town of Houghton, Mich., who are 
judges, report that they have not seen a club in such 
good condition nor with better quarters and a more com¬ 
plete outfit than that of the club at this city. 
Dr. Magie, Ed. Windom, W. E. Morrow, J. L. Mullin, 
B. E. Loney, C. S. Carpenter, B. C. Vaughan are mem¬ 
bers of Bowstring Club, of Duluth, Minn., who are a 
band of good shooters. 
A gun club was recently organized at Whitehouse, O., 
for the purpose of promoting trapshooting and good 
fellowsnip. 
Crescent Athletic Club. 
The rehandicapping of the members of the Crescent 
Athletic Club trended toward scratch recognition in re¬ 
spect to many of the contestants, and shows what material 
improvement has been gained in the way of skill by the 
club members who shoot. The allowances in 25 and 15

Unexpectedly good weather permitted out-of-door 
practice at the Saturday meeting. The evening attend¬ 
ance at the gallery was premising of some warm times 
this winter. Miller and Willard have graduated from 
the “ladylike .38” and appeared with .44, so that now the 
heavy ordnance department, which has stood many a 
jest, bids fair to soon be in the majority. Just by way of 
proving that the .38 is still in the game, Parkhurst rolled 
up some neat strings, which show he has not gone stale 
by any means. The scores:

Rifle Notes. 
It seems likely that the next national rifle meeting will 
be held on the range of the Ohio State Rifle Association 
at Port Clinton. Ohio. The National Board for the Pro¬ 
motion of Rifle Practice is said to be favorably impressed 
with the range and its central location with respect to the 
States that send the largest number of marksmen to con¬ 
tests of this sort. With the target accommodations now 
on the Port Clinton range, and the possibilities for the 
best services incident to the recent purchase of additional 
land, it seems probable Port Clinton will be chosen. 
Ohio has thousands of tents, the range is ample for all 
the needs of an army of marksmen, and there are sum¬ 
mer resorts nearby, where amusement can be obtained 
by the shooters, and supplies purchased. The National 
Board will meet in January.
