Guernsey Gun Club. 
Guernsey, la., Nov. 29.—On Thanksgiving Day our 
gun club held a successful shoot, notwithstanding it was 
rather a cold day and target shooting was very difficult 
on account of a strong south wind, which we had to 
shoot into. When Bill Ridley says, “It is a hard day 
to shoot targets,” there is no use to ask any one else, 
and that is what Bill said. Mr. Ridley was high gun 
with a score of 117 out of 135. A. Grabin was second 
high with 115, and the president of the club, who had 
charge of the cashier’s office, was third high with 106. 
Mr. Ridley was handicapped to 20yds. 
Our gun club is less than one year old, and this is 
our third shoot this summer, and we have trapped al¬ 
most 10,000 targets on programme. However, we intend 
to change our trap ground another year and trap more 
targets and have a better attendance and more pleasure 
out of it than we have had this year. The writer is 
teaching his wife to shoot. The first targets she ever 
shot at were last June, and she has been gradually get¬ 
ting better since, learning something of the speed of the 
targets and the speed of the shot. On the evening of the 
27th — it was a nice evening to shoot — and she broke 21 
■out of 25, as against her husband’s 23 out of 25. She 
says she is going along next year to shoot targets. In all 
probability I will have company when I go to attend 
tournaments. 
At this shoot twenty-one contestants faced the trap, 
but several only shot a few, as the targets were so very 
difficult to hit on account of the wind. Scores:

The sixth 
event on 
this 
program was 
at 
25 targets, 
and the highest score made in this event by the home 
talent was to receive the Du Pont trophy as his property, 
this shoot closing the season. Most of the boys dropped 
below 20 targets. The trophy was won by A. Crabin. 
The three highest guns in this event were A. Crabin, 22; 
J. W. Dobbins, 21, and Wm. Ridley, 20.

Daniel Boone Gun Club. 
Marthasvi'lle, Mo., Nov. 28.—The regular weekly 
shoot of our club was held to-day instead of Saturday. 
An interesting event was the third of a series of inter¬ 
club matches between the Warrenton Gun Club, of 
Warrenton, Mo., and our club. This match being a 
little out of season, Warrenton had but seven men here. 
We put up an equal number, each man to shoot at 50 
targets. At each of the other two of the series all mem¬ 
bers of each club present shot, but only the ten highest 
scores of each were counted. 
The clubs are nearly even in skill, for in the first 
and third our club won by 6 each time, and Warrenton 
won the second by 7. Below are the scores of the 
match, also the scores of a little practice after the match:

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J.. Dec. 7.-—We had a good turn¬ 
out to-day, and the only trouble was that it was dark 
before the shooters had nearly all the shooting they 
wanted, and several special matches between the mem¬ 
bers had to be postponed. Piercy and Engle tied for the 
club’s high average prize with an average of 87 per cent., 
and Shannon was next with an average of 85 per cent. 
Mrs. Vogel, of New York, paid us a visit and shot 
very consistently all through the program. Piercy and 
Shannon were the only ones to register a straight 25, 
and both received congratulations for doing the unusual.

We are going to have our yearly turkey shoot on 
Saturday, Dec. 21, and will mail programs within a few 
days, and to all those who should miss getting one we 
take this means of notification. Shooting will com¬ 
mence at 10 A. M. sharp, as the days are short now and 
too dark to shoot by 5 o’clock. So be on hand and get 
a chance at the first and largest turkey for first prize, 
or a pair of chickens for second prize. Our poultry 
comes direct from Rhode Island to us, which means 
enough said.
