Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersev City, N. J., March 22, — This was some day 
at the traps of the Jersey City Gun Chib, with the wind 
blowing at the rate of 100 miles, more or less, the targets 
certainly did cut up capers, and some of the left-quar¬ 
tering birds went up so high that it is doubtful if they 
have struck the ground yet, and Finnegan tried to ex¬ 
cuse his poor scores by claiming they went so high 
his gun, with a barrel 32 inches long, couldn’t reach 
them. II. E. Dickerman, of Chicago, who still lingers 
in this vicinity, came out again to-day and showed us 
how it should be done, and finished with an average of 
7!1 per cent. Dave Engle, shooting three different guns, 
finished with 77 per cent., and Fred Kent, a new mem¬ 
ber, who got the shooting habit up in Sullivan county, 
N. Y., took third place with 76 per cent., all of which 
was proof enough to the rest of us that they were some 
shooters, considering the wind and light. The scores 
follow, in strings of 25:

On March 29, the club will present to the members 
making the two highest scores out of the first 100 birds, 
handicap, two take-home trophies, and we hope to see a 
good turnout of the boys. 
March 19.—We had a line day for the all-day shoot 
at the Jersey City Gun Club to-day, and eighteen shoot¬ 
ers shot through the entire program, and several others 
shot half or more of the events. John Flendrickson, of 
Long Island City, was high gun for the entire program, 
breaking 161 out of 185, and winning high average 
money. J. E. Englert, of Catasauqua, Pa.; T. Howard, 
Peapack, N. J., and B. M. Shanley, Jr., of Newark, 
tied for second money, and Dr. W. H. Matthews, of 
Trenton, took third place. 
In the merchandise event, B. M. Shanley, Jr., was 
high with 24 out of 
25, and 
won a 
nice hand-bag.

Da.ni«l Boone Gun Club. 
M.\rthasville, Mo., March 21. —The Good Friday 
shoot here to-day was a success, considering the weather, 
but was not so well attended as our club hoped. There 
were only three outsiders here—Louis Ebert and Lee 
Eichhorn from St. Louis, and J. W. Barre from Louisi¬ 
ana, Mo. Mr. Ebert acted as cashier. A heavy storm 
tied up trains somewhat, so other trade representatives 
were not able to be here. 
The day was cold and windy, so all who were at the 
grounds fully appreciated our new club house. Besides 
being so disagreeable to be out, the strong wind would 
actually shake the shooter, and what it did to the tar¬ 
gets can hardly be put in words. A shooter came as 
near telling it as any one could, when he said: “The 
way these targets fly would make a cork-screwing jack- 
snipe look dead easy.” 
The proposed matter of organizing a league of these 
nearby clubs could not be completed because the other 
clubs were not represented. It was decided to take this 
up by mail in the near future with the several clubs.

Laredo Gun Club. 
Pillow, Pa., March 19.—Pillow Gun Club cheer¬ 
fully boasts of having the oldest aerosaucer shooter of 
any club, a shooter having seen four-score years, and 
bad the pleasure of voting for every Presidential candi¬ 
date for fifty-nine years, and who remembers well how 
the passenger pigeon was caught and shot in the corn 
rows and various ways by the dozen—now not one to 
be seen in our part of the State. 
Following are our scores, with the old veteran head¬ 
ing the list, although his score is not the best. The 
shoot on March 15 was largely attended; weather con¬ 
ditions were perfect:

Laredo, Tex., March 20.—Lowry, Lignoski and 
O'Brien have completed their scores of 200 targets, with 
the balance of the competitors to complete theirs next 
week. From the present scores it is possible for Dall- 
man to tie with Lowry and Gray to take the trophy 
from Dock 'oy 2 birds. The members of the Laredo 
Gun Club held a meeting last night, when they elected 
new officers for the ensuing year as follows: Dr. Lowry, 
President; Alden B. Muller, Secretary and Treasurer; 
Jim Gray, Field Captain (re-elected). Many new ideas 
v/ere discussed at the meeting, and it is now the inten¬ 
tion of the Gun Club to install a rifle range.
