Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 6.—This was a regular sum¬ 
mer’s day at the Jersey City Gun Club and brought out 
sixteen shooters to enjoy the sport. We had as visitors 
today Mr. Prest, of New London, Conn., Mr. Wylie, of 
Mt. Vernon, Mr. Francisco, of Easton, Pa., and Mr. 
Bush, of Essex Falls, N. J.; and Bush thought so much 
of the surroundings that he wanted to become a member 
of our club and was at once proposed by Dr. Ittner, 
the same enthusiasts escorting him along the straight 
and narrow path that leads to the cashier's office, and 
now we hope to see Brother Bush a regular. At last 
the long-looked-for event happened today, when Dave 
Engle came out with that new gun, the one he has 
been waiting for so patiently for so many months. 
Dave has been telling all of us for some time now that 
he would trim us good and plenty when he got it, but 
most of us thought it was one of Dave’s jokes, blit it 
was no joke to see him score a straight the first time 
at the traps today, and he kept on hitting enough of 
them to be the high man for the day. with an average 
of 86 per cent. Wylie was second with 84. The scores 
follow in strings of 25 birds:

Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, Ala., December 6, 1913. 
The weather conditions could not have been much 
worse than that experienced by the small bunch of shoot¬ 
ers who were at the Birmingham Gun Club at the regu¬ 
lar weekly shoot Saturday. 
Ed. Holt paid us a visit for the first time in some 
months. Mr. Bordman was also a visitor and considering 
the fact that he does not shoot much and the weather 
conditions, his score was good. Mrs. Garl lead the 
shooting with 90 breaks out of her 100 shot at. 
There was a continual rain and extremely dark, 
cloudy background throughout the afternoon. 
Scores made as follows:

Crystal Lake Gun Club. 
The White flyer handicap trophy, put in competi¬ 
tion by the club, was finally won by George C. Walker, 
of Fort Thomas, Ky., who succeeded on Dec. 4, in 
defeating his competitors for the third time, thereby 
making the trophy his own property. The club’s 
grounds are located at Ryland, Ky., about 14 miles from 
Cincinnati, and are well equipped for white flyer con¬ 
tests. The weather conditions were favorable, and 
the white flyers more than an average lot. Ten 
shooters were present, not all of them being elegible 
to compete for the trophy. Walker has won in the 
last three contests, losing but one out of 75 shot at. 
The first match was won by Harty Rowe, with 23 
from 30 yards; second, Dan Pohlar, 30 yards, 23; 
third, J. E. Schreck, 32 yards, 24; fourth, G. C. Walker, 
32 yards, 25; fifth, G. C. Walker, 33 yards, 25; sixth, 
G. C. Walker, 34 yards, 24. Each match was at 25 
white flyers, handicap 26 to 34 yards, the winner in each 
match going back one yard in the next.

The fit st regular shoot for December was very well 
attended there being no less than thirty-two shooters on 
hand to try their skill. On account of the great number 
of contestants, and the shortness of the afternoon the 
program could not be completed. The Marlin Gun event 
and the Kirkover & Wright trophies event were not shot. 
We were glad to see some of the old members out 
especially Messrs. C. D. Sidway & W. F. Hopper. Mr.
