Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 1. —Appended find scores 
of the regular shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, held this 
morning. There was a good attendance at the grounds 
and some very good scores were made by several of 
the “old-timers,” with Dave Engle showing the way 
with 92 per cent, for high average. Billy O’Brien was 
the runner up with 90 per cent., and George Piercey a 
close contender with 88 per cent. The Du Pont trophy 
event had twenty shooters competing for it this morn¬ 
ing, and the lucky shooters that pulled through with 
straight scores were Williams and O’Brien. On Dec. 15, 
our next shooting date, the last contest for this prize 
will be held, and the winner will be awarded the trophy. 
The club, through the kindness of one of our oldest 
members, Mr. L. Schortemeier, is arranging for a series 
of shoots for several prizes that he so liberally donates, 
and we would like to have a good attendance at these 
shoots before commencing this event, so that handicaps 
can be adjusted satisfactorily, and the shooters placed 
in their respective classes. So come out, boys, the 
prizes will be good and very suitable ones, and just 
what the boys want. 
Al. ICurzell came over this morning to shoot Bur¬ 
lington and Dobson a return match, and try and get 
satisfaction for the trimming that he was handed at 
the last shoot, but he discovered that he had brought 
his game gun along, so had to postpone the match till 
Dec. 15, our next shooting date.

Port Washington, L. T., Dec. 1.—When Gould and 
Hoyt are away there is no keeping Alker in leash. 
Again to-day he pulled down the major portion of the 
swag. In other words, out of five events he waded 
successfully into three of them. The monthly cup on 
a^ full from a 2-disc draw, which, though called by H. 
Funke, stood the raise in the shoot-off and tore the 
hide off the kitty. On the yearly prize, another full 
came Alker’s way on a one-disc draw to a broken 
straight. The 25-bird sweep also lined the pockets of 
the thus-far topper. A. Funke reduced the average for 
the rest of the bunch by taking the remaining two 
events. He broke 7 out of 10 in the Short event, and 
let only one slide between his chilled 8s in the 15- 
saucer event. The big shoot, Long Island Sound cham¬ 
pionship, Jan. 12 Spotts, Higg'inson, Stephenson, Hoyt, 
Billings, Scott. Alker and other toppers probably will 
compete for this choice title. Scores:

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Nov. 30. —Regardless of the fact 
that one almost never hears of the shoots here, there 
are in Montclair Gun Club a number of excellent target 
eradicators George Batten. Y. T. Frazee, I. S. Crane, 
Edward Winslow, all of whom shoot in 75 per cent, 
class, and yet of whom one seldom hears. The big event 
to-day was won by Mr. Frazee, who snuffed from the 
ambient atmosphere 18 out of 25 aerosaucers, which, with 
4 gratis encouragers, gave him 22, one better than 
Batten and Crane. 
There were three 25-bird sweeps, won as follows:

Greenwich Field Club. 
Greenwich, Conn., Nov. 28. —The Field Club had its 
annual Thanksgiving trapshooting contest to-day in the 
face of a blinding snowstorm, which partly obscured the 
birds. Twelve men participated in a 50-bird handicap 
match. First prize went to A. L. Ferguson, second to 
H. S. Marston and third to F. W. Hoeninghaus. Other 
contestants were John D. Chapman, Clarence Martin, Jr., 
Lamont Dominick, Q. Feitner, W. Vanderhoof, Jr., 
George Lauder, Jr., Louis Watkin, J. R. Coffin and 
H. I. Fisher. 
Nov. 30.—November cup will decorate the trophy

Greenwich, Conn., Nov. 30.—N. Webb was top 
berth occupant in weekly sweeps here to-day. He 
paved the lawn with the crumblings of 84 out of 100 
pulled for him, which, added to his free scalers, gave 
him a full score. J. D. Chapman occupied the lower 
berth with 80 actual eliminations, while George Pynchon 
used his tiller hand to advantage on 76. The other 
three-day saucer exponents finished just ten apart in 
actual killings—A. B. Foster 88, E. C. Willis 78, F. B. 
Tuttle 68.

We have been shooting a handicap this summer, the 
scores for one shoot governing the handicap for the next 
program. 
The tie held over from Topperwein day was won 
by Brumber. Thanksgiving Day trophy was won by 
Tomlinson. The Du Font trophy, shot for during the 
season, was won by Brumber. The season prize for 
the regular program was won by Walls with two-fifths 
of one per cent, over Gardiner, which shows how near 
vve came to figuring an equitable handicap.
