Jersey City Gun Club 
Jersey City, Nov. 22.—This was a perfect day for our 
favorite sport at the Jersey City Gun Club, nice and 
warm and no wind at all to make the marksman have 
to do a little guessing, and the result was some pretty 
good scores. Fred. W. Kent came over from (New York 
for the first time since last May, and as all of our 
members come from Missouri, on Saturday Fred got 
busy right away and he showed us all right, for he 
finished up with an average of 86 per cent., high for 
the day, several points ahead of the next best; and now 
Dave Engle rises to ask the question if Fred, who says 
he hadn’t seen his gun since last May, can hit 86, how 
many would he have broken if he had taken a peep 
at it every morning before going to business. Everett 
got busy today and turned in a full score on the Du 
Pont trophy. The race for this trophy is getting quite 
interesting now, as several of the members are tied in 
points scored. The scores in strings of 25 follow: 
Haas .

Dr. Currie became a member today and got in his 
first shoot for the Du Pont trophy. Haas is getting 
pretty well acquainted with his new gun and threatens 
to make trouble for the rest of us soon. Roach and 
Raymond came down from Yonkers and both showed 
they knew considerable about the game by putting up 
good scores over strange traps.

When the birds are coming fast you 
can get them with shot driven by Du Pont 
Powders—the high velocity kind. 
Make Every Shot Count 
Do this by being sure your shells contain Du Pont 
Powders. When saying to the dealer: “I want Du Pont 
loads,” look at the “load marking” on the box. Get these 
and end your powder worries.
