Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, Nov. 3.— Appended are the scores of 
the regular club shoot of the Hudsons, held on Sunday, 
Nov. 3. Event No. 2 was for the Dupont trophy, and 
the scores are shown with the added handicaps. Harry 
Higgs and J. E. Smith were a tie for high average 
with 88 per cent., with Davie Engle, the runner-up, with 
.879 per cent. Higgs also registered a straight score in 
his first try, this being the fourth straight at 25 targets 
that has been returned since Jan. 1, and a man has to 
shoot some to accomplish the trick. The day was 
bright, and with a stiff wind blowing, making the tar¬ 
gets very erratic in their flights, which accounts for 
some of the poor scores returned. Our next shooting 
date is Nov. 17. Everybody is welcome to come out 
and shoot along with us.

Medford 
Gun Club. 
Medford. Okla., Oct. 
29-30.—Terrific 
wind and 
driv- 
ing rain combined against our tournament, but we beat 
’em to it and had a mighty successful shoot. The 
popular event, much sought, was the championship of 
Grant county. Twenty-seven bona fide residents of the 
county entered and a lot of high scores were made. 
John Soucek did remarkable shooting, running fifty 
without a miss, getting a perfect score on his fifty birds. 
Considering weather conditions, this shooting was 
marvelous, and the man who can take county champion¬ 
ship from Soucek will have to shoot some. 
Jack Perrin went after the troph}' good and plenty, 
but missed two nasty scalers, jumped by the gusts and 
closed with 48. Mr. Brown, W. N. Shanklin and R. H. 
Perrin tied for place with 47. The score will show 
many who tried hard and pulled high tallies, ones that 
under ordinary scores would have won, but the class 
to-day was too fast for the ordinary good shot. IT. E. 
Whitney and Wm. Ridley tied for high gun of the tour¬ 
nament with 139 out of 150. J. M. Blood took second 
with 131. 
Billy Crosby took honors for the “society for up¬ 
lifting "trapshooters” with 147, the other Billy—Heer— 
missed a lot more, 7, to be exact, and got second for 
the targets-only aggregation. Ed. O’Brien could not 
stand up to the part of “rain in the face,” and broke 
only 138 aerosaucers. The scores, 150 targets per man:

Manhasset Bay Y. C. 
Port Washington, N. Y., Nov. 10.—The wind she 
blew nor’east, nor’east, and the wind she blew some 
more. She raised the ’rocks high and cast them into 
the sea, many, yes, a-plenty unbroken, to be a rake-a- 
back and recast. There was much done in the way of 
good shooting, even to the peppering of a live coot that 
might as well have tried reaching the South via the 
Bosphorus as through Hoyt’s fire. 
Being the first shoot of the year, only the dyed-in- 
the-wool crackers were on score, and it may be said en 
passant, that those shooters who can and don’t get over 
to the Manhasset shoots, don’t properly appreciate hos¬ 
pitality and sportsmanship. 
H. L. Hoyt, Jr., from scratch, took the 10-bird sweep 
with a straight, and the 15-’rock event shy one on a full. 
C. M. Gould was the busy little money-maker. From a 
hand-out of 7, he copped the 25-bird sweeps, limb on 
the monthly cup with a full, a ditto on the yearly. 
J. W. Alker won the final scratch sweep with 22 cleanly 
snuffed aerosaucers to his credit—and such a thirst. 
Nos. 1 and 2 were scratch sweeps, 10 and 15 targets, 
respectively:
