July 23.—A heavy rain which started in before noon 
and continued all afternoon kept most all our shooters 
away, although the four below came out in hopes that 
it would quit raining, but their hopes were in vain, and 
after waiting several hours they shot a few frames when 
it eased up a little, but they got a wetting every time 
they tried to finish a frame.

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., July 30. —The appended scores were 
made at the Hudson Gun Club traps this morning, with 
sixteen shooters taking part. The day was warm and 
hazy, with a poor light, which accounts for a majority 
of the poor scores recorded. 
C. Durkee and H. Gillispie shot a race at 50 birds this 
morning, Gillispie winning with a score of 44 to 29. A 
return match will take place on Aug. 13, our next shoot¬ 
ing date. Everybody is welcome.

Charlottesville and University Gun Club. 
Charlottesville, Va., July 28.—The Charlottesville 
and University Gun Club held its ninth annual tourna¬ 
ment on July 27. The shoot, as usual, was under the 
management of Geo. L. Bruffey, who is known far and 
wide for his courtesy and uniform kindness to all who 
participate in contests which he conducts. 
The program consisted of ten 20-target events and two 
special contests—one for a Winchester gun and the other 
a consolation event for the unfortunates who did not 
win a prize out of the forty-four offered in the various 
events. The entries were so numerous—fifty names being 
on the list—that the program had to be cut down, and 
the last four events were shot at 15 targets instead of 
20, as advertised, and the special events were abandoned 
on account of darkness. 
An interesting feature of the occasion was the inimit¬ 
able and interesting exhibition of rifle, revolver and 
shotgun shooting given by Mr. and Mrs. Ad. Topper- 
wein. Several hundred of the town’s best people wit¬ 
nessed the performance and were astonished at the re¬ 
markable feats performed by this couple. 
Other professionals who were present were Goodloe, 
Scholl, and J. A. Anderson. Messrs. Anderson and 
Scholl were clerks of the course, and posted promptly 
the results of each event. Both are good fellows and a 
credit to the firms they represent. Goodloe, who was 
looking after the interests of the Topperweins, was 
busier than a “one-armed bill-poster.” Unfortunately 
Mrs. Topperwein’s gun was broken and she could not 
shoot. 
Visiting 1 shooters were here from Richmond, Roanoke, 
Lynchburg, Waynesboro, Staunton, and other places in 
the State. Roanoke had a good delegation, headed by 
that good-looking, good-natured fellow Jamison—who 
tied in the day’s work for high amateur average, scoring 
164 out of 180; but who, according to some of his squad 
mates should have been high over all amateur, with 165, 
having broken a target that was called lost by the 
referee. 
The Roanoke boys were boosting the State shoot to b<> 
held at Lynchburg, on Sept. 4 and 5. Dr. Dennis was 
on hand from the Lynchburg Club and urged all the 
boys to come, as this_ shoot was to be the biggest and 
best ever held in the State, and not to forget the money- 
back feature. 
Only one trap was used and 7,185 targets were thrown. 
J. A. Anderson was high professional with 166 out of 
180; Jamison and Brown were high amateurs with 164 
out of 180, while Day, of Waynesboro, and Miles Taylor, 
of Washington, D. C., got second r’ace with 161 out of 
ISO. Following are the scores:

20 in his first string, against 21 by Mathews, and in the 
second both tied with 22.

Three of the Bergen Beach Club came over and we 
enjoyed their stay. Come again. 
Vice-President. 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The list of names at the weekly shoot on July 29 was 
some larger than it has been for several weeks, and there 
were a number of new ones among the crowd. The day 
was not the best for the sport, as the clouds made it 
very dark, and frequent showers during the afternoon 
drove the shooters to cover and delayed the running off 
of the events. 
George Dameron has got back to his regular form 
again and proved it by breaking 49 out of the first 50 
and going out with 96 out of the 100. Milt Johnson also 
shot well, getting in second place with 91. Irwin had 
rather a bad day of it, and could only account for 83, 
which is some less than he has been breaking since he 
got his new gun. J. B. C. has not been over for some 
time, but he broke about his regular gait, despite his 
lack of practice. O. J. IToladav, Jr., has been making 
his headquarters at Nashville, Tenn., for the past five 
weeks, and has been putting in some good work for his 
company. He will be back this week in time to take part 
in the club tournament on the 6th. Gould, who is mak¬ 
ing an auto tour of Michigan, is also expected to be 
here this week. 
The next money-back tournament of the club will be 
held on Aug. 6, and it is expected that it will prove 
the most successful of the series, as the local men will 
turn out in good numbers, and there are many out-of- 
town shooters who have signified their intention of be¬ 
ing present.

Golden Gate Gun Club. 
San Francisco, July 16.—The Golden Gate Gun Club’s 
monthly blucrock shoot drew a big attendance of shot¬ 
gun experts to the traps at Alameda yesterday, and 
some creditable scores were rolled up by the contestants 
in the several events. The program opened with a 
“grub” shoot at 15 targets, which brought forty men 
to the firing line. Captain Connelly’s team of twenty 
men beat an aggregation of equal numerical strength 
captained by Thomas in this affair by 24 birds. The 
winners broke 238 out of 300 targets, and the losers, who 
paid the cost of a lunch, smashed a total of 214 blue- 
rocks. Hawxhurst made the only straight score in the 
opening event, and Thomas, Golcher, Schulz. Lancaster 
and Webb broke all but one of their allotted 15 birds. 
In the trophy race at 25 birds not a straight score was 
made, Fred Willett coming closest to being perfect with 
24 broken. Clarke was second in this race, with a score 
of 23, while Lancaster, Webb and Bill Price broke 22 
each. The scores in the 25-bird trophy affair were as 
follows: Hawxhurst 20, Schultz 18, Willett 24. Webb 22, 
Ashcroft 17, Nelson 18, Connelly 18. Riley 16, W. Lan¬
