Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 29.—Dave Engle with good, 
consistent shooting, was the best shot at the Hudson 
Club shoot this morning, and finished high gun with a 
total of 92 per cent. Carl von Lengerke was his nearest 
competitor, and finished with 98 per cent. The shooting 
was a little hard owing to the snow on the ground and 
a hazy background; otherwise the day was ideal for trap¬ 
shooting, and on an average the scores were very good. 
Burlington was on the job again, looking for satisfac¬ 
tion for the trimming that he received at the last 
shoot, and to make sure of getting even he brought down 
his 34-in. barrel; but it was just the same and just as 
easy for Tom Kelley to show him a few points in the 
game, and he went home a much sadder and a wiser man 
than he came, as he had to resort to his check book to 
settle with the cashier, and had to borrow his car fare 
to get home. 
We have completed arrangements for the series of 
shoots that we are going to hold for three L. C. Smith 
guns that have been so generously donated by one of 
our oldest members, Lou. Schortemeier, and will try 
and start this event on the next shooting date, Jan. 5. 
Conditions are: 50 birds at each shoot, entrance including 
targets, $1.00, and one re-entry allowed each day. There 
will be eight shoots for the prizes, and the shooters will 
be divided in three classes, with one gun for each class. 
Prizes will be awarded to the five highest scores made in 
the eight shoots. So come out, boys, and try and 
win a gun. Everybody has a chance, and they are beau- 
ties. Don’t forget the 
next date, Jan. 
5.

Piping Rock Gun Club. 
Locust Valley, L. I., Dec. 28.—The first important 
trapshooting event on the Piping Rock Club’s newly 
built trap grounds took place to-day, and was for a 
magnificent cup donated by Mr. C. V. Brokaw, of New 
York. It was a bird handicap affair, and as most of the 
contestants were new at the sport, some of the allow¬ 
ances were very great. The day was raw and chilly, 
which, combined with a puffy cross-wind and the in¬ 
experience of most of the shooters, they did not score 
as they had in former practice shoots. Twenty-four, 
including one woman, took part in the event, and the 
winner was Donald G. Geddes, of Glen Cove, L. I., who 
had an allowance of 12 in his 100 birds. He was tied, 
however by Mortimer L. Schiff, of New York. G. L. 
Sherer, of Bayswater, L. I.; Mrs. J. E. Davis and J. E. 
Davis, of Oyster Bay, L. I., but by consistent shooting 
he finally shot all of them down to Sherer, who com^ 
polled Geddes to break 33 out of 35 before Sherer shot 
out his allowance of 12 targets. 
The trapshooting feature at this club has become so 
very popular that Mr. Mortimer L. Schiff has donated 
a cup to be shot for oh Lincoln’s Birthday, and Mr. F. 
P. Moore has donated a cup for competition on Wash¬ 
ington’s Birthday. A large number of the ladies are 
becoming interested in the sport, and are being coached 
(as are many of the men) by the well-known profes¬ 
sional trapshot in the employ of the Du Pont Powder 
Company, Mr. Jack Fanning, who also laid out the mag¬ 
nificent grounds some two months ago, and which are 
the most complete in every respect in the country. Mr. 
Fanning also managed the Brokaw cup event, and it was 
a very sucessful affair in every way and all were well 
pleased. The scores of the contestants follow:

Narine and Field Club. 
Bath Beach, L. 1., Dec. 28. — Only a small number 
of shooters turned out to-day, but quality more than 
compensated for loss in numbers.. E. H. Lott broke 
92 out of 100, going straight on 75, and every bird was a 
fast flier. This was in December cup event. Lott also 
broke 21 out of 25 in handicap trophy event, but was 
beaten by P. R. Towne with 22 from 2. The above 
prominently mentioned gentleman won scratch event on 
25 clav discs, with 23. C. M. Camp took second with 
20, while Towne tacked his claim on third with 19.

Rhode Island C. C. 
Barrington, R. I., Dec. 28. — This was day one in 
trapshooting season, and she dragged forth fifteen 
devotees. Rhode Island Country Club, one of the clay- 
bird roosting places, generally turns out double this 
number, but never more enthusiasm. From Providence 
came C. H. Gardner, who had a most consistent and 
unvarying eye. He broke 22 out of 25 in each of five 
events. Merriam got place with three 21s and a 20.
