Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 5.—Appended find scores of 
the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, 
with eighteen shooters taking part in the day’s pro¬ 
gram. There was a number of our older members that 
•did not answer roll call this morning when the squad 
sheets were being made out, as quite a few of them 
have gone shooting; but before the first squad had 
finished their first string of 25, there were nine new 
faces that had unlimbered their guns and got their 
-names on the score sheets ready to kill a few blue- 
Tocks that speed away at our “game preserve.’’ 
Conditions this morning were ideal for trapshooting, 
most of the boys shooting in their shirt sleeves and 
lounging around the club house veranda in the com¬ 
fortable lounging chairs that the club provides for the 
comfort of the shooters, until Joe Whitley announced 
that lunch was ready, when all hands lined up to the 
firing line and returned clean scores. 
After the main body of shooters had left for home, 
Doc Groll, Billy O’Brien, Tom Kelley and Joe Whitley, 
with the assistance of Whitley’s prize winning beagles, 
enjoyed a rabbit hunt on the grounds adjoining the club 
house, and after a couple of hours’ shooting, had shot 
“cats” enough to treat their friends to a hasenpfeffer 
which will be prepared by the club chef on our next 
shooting date, Nov. 19. 
Everyone is welcome to shoot at the Hudson Gun 
Club traps, and beginners are cordially invited to give 
us a call, where they will always find some of the 
older members ready to give whatever advice they can 
to help along the new shooter in the game. Take the 
turnpike car from P. R. -R. Ferry at Jersey City to the 
west side of the Hackensack River Bridge, then walk 
north to the D., L. & W. R. R. tracks, where the club 
house is situated, 
flying to welcome 
and the Stars and Stripes will 
all who love the grand old flag.

Secretary. 
Newport (Tenn.) Gun Club. 
When the Newport, Tenn., Gun Club put “Arlie” 
Weaver, the popular National League pitcher, in the 
“puller’s box” at their Jack Rabbit tournament, Oct. 30, 
the twenty-nine shooters who faced his “delivery” in 
one or more of the twelve events found themselves up 
against the real thing in earnest. Had Matthewson 
and Marquard been master of such curves and twisters 
as he handed out to us, “Home-run” Baker would ere 
now be relegated to' the “Epworth”; and there would 
be gloom in the “City of Brotherly Love.” 
While I don’t believe any of us really hold it against 
Arlie, at the same time when an average of four squads 
shoot through a 200-target program—said squads includ¬ 
ing such names as C. E. Goodrich, Chas. A. Burks, 
Howard Van Gilder, Sanford Burnett and others, with 
the results shown in the “spasm” which concludes this 
preamble, there is absolutely some excuse necessary, 
and Weaver will have to stand for it. At any rate, 
there were^ only three clean hits made off him during 
the day, Goodrich breaking them all in the first and 
sixth events, while Plummer managed to put one over 
in the eighth. Mr. Goodrich won high gun with an 
even 91. This, considering the conditions, was, in my 
opinion, as good a score as this handsome young 
shooter ever made in his life, not even excepting his 
nigh professional in the last Grand American. 
That Charlie Burks, of Knoxville, Tenn., won high 
amateur on 157 out of 200 shows that the targets were, 
to say the least, “some erratic,” for this popular sports¬ 
man has been doing pretty consistent shooting all sea¬ 
son around the better than 90 per cent. mark. 
Mr. J. J. Denton, of Newport, was second with 155 
out of 200, and Van Gilder, of Knoxville, third just one 
target back. 
Though the scores were not up to what we would like 
to see, the Newport Gun Club, headed by those good 
all-around sportsmen John Seehorn, Sheriff Dawson 
and others, made a solid “clean hit” with all the visit¬ 
ing shooters, who will look forward to another gathering 
on their grounds with a great deal of pleasure. The

This Man takes His Oath 
<1 The fisherman is known to be the most “exact” 
person in the world, and some shooters can still draw 
the “long bow,” but our customers are convinced that 
The Greener is the WorlcTs Best Gun 
They lose no opportunity of advertising this fact amongst 
their fellow sportsmen. 
Mr. Beddall, a merchant of Port Carbon, Pa., recently shot 
a crow with his 16-bore Greener gun at a distance of 312 feet, 
measured by a Civil Engineer, and he has sworn to his state¬ 
ment before Mr. W. U. Gane, J. P. 
Mr. Penn, of Columbus. Ohio, another enthusiastic cus¬ 
tomer, writes, “I cannot thank you enough for my new gun. 
It is a jewel. I would not take $500 for it. Hurrah for W. W. 
Greener! He certainly is the Only Gunmaker.” 
Surely your new gun will be a “Far Killing” Greener. No 
other can give you the same consistent shooting combined 
with hard hitting and lasting wear.

Crescent Gun Club. 
The special match shoot which was decided last Sat¬ 
urday at the grounds of the Crescent Gun Club, White- 
house Station, N. J., between former Assemblyman 
George II. Cramer and Dr. J. J. Rufe, of High Bridge, 
on one side, and Raymond C. Stryker, of Newark, and 
William M. Hooey, of Somerville, on the other, excited 
considerable interest. The latter team won by a score of 
46 to 42 out of 50. 
The program in the sweeps called for 120 targets, and 
Stryker was high gun with 101 breaks. Cramer, of 
Fligh Bridge, was second with 98. 
A special match at 15 pairs of doubles caused quite 
some excitement. Elmer Gardner, of Bernardsville, was 
high gun, breaking 22 out of a possible 30, and Cramer 
was second with 20 breaks.
