Hudson G. C. 
Jersey City, X. J., June 29.—Appended are the 
scores of the Hudson Gun Club shoot, held this morn¬ 
ing. W. Hutchings, with his 26 inch, open field gun was 
high man with 85 per cent., beating out C. von Lengerke, 
who was pushing him for the place, by 2 points. Our 
attendance is beginning to fall off owing to the summer 
vacation season, but we hold open shoots every two 
weeks just the same, and invite all shooters whose clubs 
discontinue for the summer months to pay us a visit, so 
as to be in trim when they start shooting in the fall. 
Frank Post, of Park Ridge, N. J., an ex-champion of 
the State, and a shooter of the old school when the live 
birds were used for trapshooting, was a visitor at the 
grounds to-day, and after watching the game for a couple 
of events, decided to take a crack at the bluerocks. His 
friend, J. E. Drew, got busy and challenged him to a 
match at 50 targets, which Frank accepted, and just to 
show Drew that he still knows how to hold a gun, he 
trimmed him to the tune of 8 birds, with a gun that he 
had never handled before. Our next shooting date will be 
Sunday, July 13, so come out and see us.

rand American Handicap 
The National Championships 
BOTH AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL 
WON WITH 
Peters Shells 
Amateur Championship 
OF THE U. S. 
Won by BARTON LEWIS 
— SCORE — 
195 out of 200 
Professional Championship 
OF THE U. S. 
Won by CHAS. A. YOUNG 
— SCORE — 
197 out of 200 
These two events were the most important on the program 
of the Grand American Handicap Tournament, held at 
Dayton, Ohio, June 17-20, and the greatest in the trap 
shooting world. 
Each of them consisted of twice as many targets as the 
Handicap events. 
There were 210 of the best shots in the world competing, all 
SHOOTING FROM THE SAME MARK, 18 YDS. 
It was the severest possible test of ammunition and shooter. 
That both of the winners used the (J) brand—the 
“steel tvhere steel belongs” kind—is not surpris¬ 
ing to the great army of sportsmen familiar with 
their SUPERIOR SHOOTING QUALITY.

Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club. 
Danbury Conn., June 30.—The Pahquioque Rod and 
Gun Club, of Danbury, Conn., wish to announce to the 
lovers of trapshooting that we hold the fourth registered 
tournament of the Western Connecticut Trapshooters’ 
League on Saturday, July 26. We extend a cordial invi¬ 
tation to all shooters and will guarantee you a good day’s 
sport, and as fine a list of prizes as a club ever put up. 
We have been the leaders in the number of prizes given, 
which shows the shooters appreciate the fact, as we had 
110 shooters in 1911, 122 in 1912, and are going to beat it 
this year. There will be 100 average prizes, which is 
more than most clubs have shooters, but we are confi¬ 
dent of success, as all who have ever been here once, 
always come again and bring others also. We have three 
sets of traps and know how to run a tournament. You 
won’t have to say, “If I broke one or two more I would 
have got a prize,” because there is enough to go around. 
There are several special prizes for Connecticut shooters. 
The amateur championship of Connecticut is contested 
for the fifth time at this tournament; there is the Du 
Pont Connecticut amateur trophy; the Parker Bros.; 
Liberty Cartridge Co.; J. Stevens Arms Co.; Hercules 
Powder Co., and the Leagus trophy. A finer lot of 
trophies would be hard to find. 
The program will be out when you read this article. 
If you desire one, or any information, write E. H. Bailey, 
Sec’y, 27 Spring street, Danbury, Conn.
