Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Oct. 22. —Seventeen shooters took 
part in to-day’s program of events at the regular bi¬ 
monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club. The morning 
was dark and threatening rain, which kept a number of 
the bovs from coming out, as several of them had ar¬ 
ranged to shoot for a prize that was donated by our 
worthy club member, H. J. Burlington, and which we 
decided to postpone until our next shoot, on Nov. 5, 
when we hope to see all interested attend. 
For to-dav’s events Billy O’Brien, the Frenchman from 
the Long Dock, was high gun with 86 per cent. Lou 
Schorty was the runner up with 85, and Dave Engle 
cinched third honors with 84 per cent., being pushed 
very closely by Dr. Groll with 82 per cent, of his targets. 
Don’t forget our next shooting date, Nov. 5, we shoot 
in the morning, and all trapshooters are welcome to come 
out and shoot along with us, so just bring your gun 
along. We have lots of bluerocks to shoot at, and lots 
of shells to shoot them with. 
Take the Turnpike car to Hackensack River bridge, and 
walk north to the gun club grounds, where the Stars and 
Stripes will be flying.

Tempi.e. Pa., Oct. 21.—Rain fell here for the last three 
days, while to-day was an exceptionally bad day. A 
great many shooters from distant points promised to be 
present, but owing to the rain only twelve shooters 
faced the traps, of whom Harry S. Welles, of New 
York, was the only representative with us to-day. Mr. 
Wells scored 114 out of 120 birds to his honor. Rain 
prevented our shooting the full program. 
W. S. Behrs, of Estcrlv, did exceptionally well for a 
new man at the traos—his first appearance at our traps. 
“Cal” says: “It’s his red tie that makes Butch break 
’em.” Well done, Billy, we wish vou luck. Mr. Behn is 
the present holder of the Mrs. Kintzer trophy. 
C. Prutzman shot a little below his usual average on 
account of the rain. 
Buddy’s gun broke in the first event. He used a 
strange gun, and thus could not credit himself to Poppy 
Kift’s average. 
Tip shot better to-day than he knew how, says Arthur 
—32 out of the 45 is going some for the boy. 
Howard Biehl did excellent, being away from the 
game for some time. 
A. A. Fink had charge of the office and cracked his 
usual conundrums.

Oct. 21 the Clay Target Club—division of the Pitts¬ 
burgh Athletic Club, opened its fine new grounds on the 
crick property, l-'crt Pitt Boulevard, which has just been 
completed. It is doubtful if a better designed trap lay¬ 
out could be found in the State that the one dedicated 
Dy the \\ inged Head nimrods. Every convenience is 
provided for the comfort of trapshooting. The sight 
across the traps is the very best, as there is a fine sky 
background. The membership of the Clay Target Club 
comprises many of the best shots in this section, and the 
nucleus has already been secured for one of the top- 
notch clubs of the Keystone State.
