How many times you miss the far fliers be¬ 
cause you haven't quite the necessary shooting: 
power. 
The advantage is yours if you can count on 
your gun at 50 and 60 yards.

Jersey 
City 
Gun Club. 
Jersey City, Jan. 1.—Just an even score of shooters 
were out to start the New Year off in proper shape 
today, and it was one of those days that puts life 
into a fellow and makes him thankful that there is 
such a place as a gun club, where he can go and spend 
a few hours and get a lot of fresh air that will do 
him good, instead of sitting in the house and wishing 
it was time to go to bed. And there is no doubt about 
the air that we had today being fresh, as it was blowing 
a good, stiff breeze from the northwest right in our 
faces and the thermometer down around 20 above, just 
the right combination to make one pay strict attention 
to business. High gun honors for the day went to 
Dixon, with an average of 88 per cent., but, strange 
to say, he failed to win any of the six prizes competed 
for, the prize winners being Dr. Ittner, Kellinger, Will¬ 
iams, Jones, Everett and Slater, most of the events 
requiring two or more shoot-offs. The scores follow in 
strings of 25 clay pigeons:

targets to count, although if it should happen that 
some members of any club are shooting in handicap 
events and do not have an opportunity of shooting at 
16yd. targets, the score made by them in shooting at 
the first twenty-five handicap targets can be counted. 
If a club should be shooting a match race or a 
regular race on some ground other than its own, the 
score made on the first twenty-five targets shot at in 
such matches will count in the telegraphic match. 
The scores of individual members of clubs who may 
be attending tournaments away from home cannot be 
counted; only amateurs are eligible to compete.

twenty-five; Smith, twenty-five; Brown, twenty-four; 
Harrison, twenty-three; Johnson, twenty-two; Olson, 
twenty-two; Jenks, twenty-one; Grant, twenty; Jackson, 
twenty; Miller, twenty; total, two hundred twenty-two.

iam Smith, twenty-three; F. Smith, twenty-three; Miller, 
twenty; Grant, twenty; Jackson, twenty; Harrison, 
twenty; John Brown, twenty; Earl Brown, twenty-two; 
total, two hundred eighteen. Sign name of the club.” 
The telegraphic reports made by each club should 
be immediately confirmed in writing. As the scores are 
received they will be sent to the sporting weeklies and 
other papers interested for publication. 
In case any club desires to receive by wire the 
scores made by any or all of the other clubs competing 
in the race, it is understood that they will be sent this 
information by each club, provided the club receiv¬ 
ing same is willing to pay for the telegram, or tele¬ 
grams. 
The Du Pont Powder Company has offered a suitable 
trophy to the club making the highest aggregate score 
in the five matches.

ROBERT P. ELMER, M.D. 
Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Dec. 28. 
A field of twenty-five shooters turned out to-day to 
participate in the last day’s shooting of the fall season 
program, many of them turning in remarkably good 
scores, which changed the standing of the leaders for 
the season’s prizes, and the splendid scores were made 
under somewhat adverse conditions, as it was a dark 
day. 
Dave Thomas started in by breaking fifteen straight 
in the practice event, then broke 49 x 50 in event No. 
2 and went fifty straight in event No. 3, which gave 
him a total of 114 x 115. Stammer also did splendid 
work by breaking his first fifty straight, and 47 x 50 in 
event No. 2, while Seelif, Sr., and Kemmerer each turned 
in scores of 49 x 50 in event No. 3, Lino being next in 
line with 48. 
Kemmerer broke 27 out of his last hundred, 48 x 50 
being from the eighteen-yard mark. 
Selig made 14 x 15 in practice and scored a total 
of 95 x 100 in events No. 2 and No. 3. 
Hardy Wolfe did his best work in the handicap, 
scoring 46 and 48 for a total of 94 out of the hundred 
from eighteen yards. Winkler was badly handicapped 
with his hand, which was cut by an electric light bulb 
which burst in his hand several days ago, but he man¬ 
aged to break 47 out of his last fifty from the twenty- 
yard mark. 
Lino, Cutler and Boltman each broke 24 out of 
twenty-five in the last event of the day. 
The wind-up of the season’s program to-day was 
most interesting as competition was keen all the way 
in both events, the distance handicap especially being 
watched on account of the close competition. 
Kennicott was the leader in both Class A, event 
No. 1, and in the distance handicap up to-day, Thomas 
being three targets behind in Class A, while Winkler 
was two targets behind Kennicott in the handicap, while 
Hardy Wolfe was four targets behind “Ken.” 
Event No. 1 class shooting was finished first and 
Kennicott, shooting in squad No. 1, finished his first
