Hud son Gun Club. 
Jersey Oity, N. J., April 2ti.—The final shoot for the 
Schortemeier prizes was held on Sunday, April 20, with 
the conditions being the most miserable that we have ex¬ 
perienced in several years. The day was cold, squally 
and the wind blowing at least ninety miles an hour, 
which brought the targets back of the shooters with 
sufficient force to crash through the windows of the 
club house on several occasions, and made it almost 
impossible for some of our best shots to figure out 
where to hold, as there were only four strings of 20 
breaks returned out of a total of 135 scores of 25 tar¬ 
gets each. Dave Engle was high gun for the shoot with 
an average of 7S per cent. Rilly O’Brien was the 
winner of Class A, and had the trouble of carrying 
home a dandy little field gun to shoot some of the shy- 
pokes that our marshes arc infested with. In Class B, 
Smith and Burlington were tied for the prize, and in 
the shoot-off, J. E. .Smith was the man to bring home 
the “bacon.” Class C had Jack Williams and Joe 
Whitley fighting it out for the prize, and Whitley was 
the winner by a small margin. Joe says that the gun 
fits him perfectly, and that he will be o'n the job in 
a few days to kill a few English snipe with it. 
The management of the club wishes to thank every 
shooter that took part for the able manner in which 
they supported this contest, as it goes to show the 
donator, Louis Schortemeier, that the prizes were very 
appropriate, and his efforts in creating new interest in 
the Hudson Gun Club, was very much appreciated. 
Our next shoot will be held on Sunday, May 4. 
Everybody is welcome at our grounds to shoot as little 
or as many as you want to. We have a force of sea¬ 
soned shots here that are always willing to start the 
beginner on rhe right track, so get on the job and 
come to a real live gun club that is not in the game 
for the coin, but just a good time with a jolly good 
bunch of shooters. 
Shells for sale on the grounds, and lots of blue 
rocks to shoot them at. So don’t forget the date. May 
4, and every second Sunday following.

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., April 26.—We had a good at¬ 
tendance at the regular monthly prize shoot of the 
Jersey City Gun Club to-day. The day was almost per¬ 
fect for trapshooting, as there was very little wind, and 
the light \yas good. In the prize shoot two of our new 
members jumped out in front and carried home both 
take-home prizes. Kearney won the first one, and Smith 
the second, counting the added bird handicap. Kearney 
made a score of 98, and Smith 93 out of 100 shot at, 
which was doing fine for new ones at the game. 
Geo. Piercy, shooting from scratch, won the leg on 
the Du Pont trophy with a straight 25. Scratch high 
average was won by Piercy also with a percentage of 
85. Kearney was second with 81 per cent. Scores fol¬ 
low in strings of 25:

So as not to. confuse Smith, mentioned above as a 
prize-winner, with others of same name in this section,, 
it should be stated that his first name is John. Now we 
all remember having met him, of course. 
Harry Burlington was under the weather to-day and 
had to give it up after three attempts, which accounts 
for his poor scores. 
Dave Engle had considerable trouble locating the 
birds, another new gun being the cause. But Dave 
promises to do better next time, or treat, r 
Hallinger had a corner on 17s to-day, put found it 
hard to collect on them. 
Fred Kent came out to try his new gun stock and 
had no kick coming, as he is pretty sure he has it right 
now. 
W illiams, Jr., who won second prize last month, was 
just one bird shy of the same one to-day. 
Summerfield wanted to have the right-quarterers cut 
out for the day, but was overruled by the chair. 
Grundy Center Gun Club. 
Grundy Center, Iowa, April 23.—High amateur 
score here to-day was 176 out of 200 rocks, but the wind 
was the prime anti to good scores. A. H. Cleveland 
made the above high cracking. The scores:
