doubles finished the afternoon’s sport. Butz was high 
man in the first event, and tied for high with Schreck 
in the second, finishing the 24 pairs with two targets 
in the lead of the latter. On March 15 the club will 
celebrate its sixteenth anniversary, and it is hoped to 
have one of the old-time gatherings, such as filled the 
club house in the palmy days at St. Bernard. The “Old 
Timers” who helped place the_ club in the front ranks 
of the trapshooting organizations of the country are 
to be the guests of honor, and no efforts will be spared 
to make them feel at home, and give them a reception 
which will linger long in their memories. The feature 
of the day will be a real Burgoo feast. Those who have 
ever tasted this delectable product of the culinary art 
will surely be on hand, and those to whom it is still 
a mystery should not miss this opportunity to indulge 
in a gastronomic sensation which they will never forget. 
There will be shooting on the side for those who are 
able to face the traps after having done their duty 
at the table.

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, March 8, 1914. 
The snow and sun was a handicap to high scores at 
the Hudson Gun Club grounds this morning, and eoores 
of 20 or better was a scarce article. Dave Engle with a 
low average of 74 proved to be the best shot of the 14 
contestants taking part, W. Hutchings with 70 per cent, 
was the runner-up, and Harry Burlington a close third 
with 68 per cent. 
Beyersdoft, who has been getting in trim at the 
Sportsmen’s Show traps for a match with Hutchings at 
100 targets, got his “bumps” from Hutchings this morn¬ 
ing by 8 targets, and a return match at 50 birds at the 
Grand Central Palace roof tournament has been ar¬ 
ranged to take place between them some day this week.

shooting requirements. He made the 
1913 season’s high amateur average 
(broke 96.18% of 1650 registered tar¬ 
gets). After a thorough study, Mr. Arie 
recently selected the Marlin hammerless 
as the best practical trap gun obtainable. 
He bought a No. 28 D Marlin trap gun— 
gave it its first try-out at this big 6-day 
shoot at Houston, Jan. 26th-31st—and 
won everything worth while.

Editor Forest and Stream: 
The Chicago Archery Club’s executive committee was 
entertained by Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Fletcher, of 7209 
Jeffery avenue, at dinner last evening, after which a 
business meeting was held. To Mr. and Mrs. Homer S. 
12 Taylor, who are leaving to make their home in the 
.. east, the club expressed its sincere regrets at the loss 
.. it is thus sustaining. 
Mrs. Taylor was made an honorary life member of the 
club, Mr. Taylor already being such. 
Mr. Taylor resigned the presidency of the club, and 
Dr. E. B. Weston was chosen to fill the vacancy; and 
Mr. J. H. Pendry was elected to fill a vacancy in the 
executive committee. 
Mrs. Fletcher, the hostess, is the champion woman 
archer of the United States.
