Cleveland Gun Club. 
Cleveland, Ohio, March 9.—The regular weekly 
■club shoot of the Cleveland Gun Club was held oh 
Saturday, March 8, at Shooting Park. Many good 
scores were made, J. R. Blakeslee, F. E Doolittle and 
Dr. A. J. Brown coming under the wire with scores ot 
49 out of 50. Blakeslee and Doolittle tied for the day 
in all events, both breaking 140 out of 150. 
There were only sixteen shooters facing the traps, 
and there is no reason why it should not have been 
twenty or twenty-five, if the regulars that are on strike 
would only turn out and give a helping hand, as some 
have not shot a target on the grounds this year; but 
they are holding out to get the best of the weather 
man. The championship contest for 1913 looks as if 
it was going to be a hot one, as Blakeslee and Doolittle 
have both thrown their hat into the ring for this 
honor, and they say it is open for others if they wish 
to enter. Mr. Hogan has a new gun and is looking 
for his friend, Mn E. S. Rogers. Mr. A. B. Jones, who 
won one of the first annual trophies last year, is mak¬ 
ing a bid for the booby prize this year. The scores of 
Saturday, March 8:

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., March 9.—The pleasant day 
‘brought out a good attendance at the regular bi-monthly 
shoot of the Fludson Gun Club, to compete for the 
Schortemeier trophies, and to get a little practice at 
their favorite pastime. Billy O’Brien, ihe Spaniard, 
topped all hands for. high average by breaking 80 per 
cent, of his targets, and had to keep close to his work, 
as Mr. Dickerman, of the Chicago Gun Club, who paid 
u.s a visit this morning, was right after him and finished 
with an average of 79 per cent. Dave Engle was a 
little off to-day in his shooting, and finished third with 
an average of 76 per cent. The winners of to-day’s con¬ 
test in the trophy event was, class A, W. O’Brien 
with a score of 43; in class B, H. J. Gautier managed 
to score 40, and was high in his class, while class C 
picked as a winner J. Williams, Jr., who scored 36 of 
his birds and won a leg on the prize. 
The day, while pleasant over head, was rather windy, 
and it caused the targets to do some funny stunts, 
which in a way has a lot to do with some of the low 
scores of the shooters. We shoot on Sunday, March 
23, when the sixth contest for these prizes will take 
place, everybody comes down to our grounds, so get 
on the band wagon and hear the noise, if you are 
afraid to carry a gun on Sunday, there are always a 
few that are not working at the club house and you are 
welcome to use them, so don’t forget the date, March 
23, at 10 A. M.
