FOREST AND STREAM 
[Nov. 25, 1911. 
New York Athletic Club. 
Pelham Manor, N. Y., Nov. 18.— A tremendous ag¬ 
gregation of shooters turned out at Travers Island to-day 
for the regular weekly shoot. On form, undoubtedly the 
best gun present was H. Kirkwood, for, although he 
didn’t get a first during the day, he showed in the 
money in every event in which he toed the score dur¬ 
ing the day, shooting from scratch in each event. An¬ 
other shooter who, while he finished pretty well down 
each time, showed style and promise, was L. L. Lawton. 
There were innumerable ties. D. Linquist beat R. L. 
Spotts in the shoot-off for distance handicap by 2 birds. 
The wind blew a gale down the alley between Travers 
and Glen islands, making shots various and difficult.

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 19.—Enclosed find scores of 
the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, 
held to-day at their grounds, with 24 shooters facing the 
traps in the several events that were shot. 
The morning was not a very favorable one for trap¬ 
shooting, as there was a gale blowing across the 
meadows, the targets cutting up all kinds of didos, and 
the man who managed to break 20 out of 25 was doing 
some good shooting. 
High gun for the day was fought out between Dave 
Engel, Carl von Lengerke and George Piercy, and was 
won bv the latter with an average of 79 per cent; Von 
Lengerke and Engle tied for second honors, just one 
point shy, with 78, and a very good average, when the 
conditions at the Hudson’s traps and the weather are 
considered. 
Well, we are going to shoot some more on Dec. 3, and 
as there are several of our members that have been away 
on duck shooting trips, and have been sending us a lot 
of picture postals showing themselves waist high in the 
ducks that they say they killed, we will expect them to 
show better form than before they went away, so that 
we can use them on several team matches that are to 
take place at our next shoot. 
We had as visitors several new faces that contracted 
the fever for trapshooting, and after making their wants 
known were put on the firing line for the first time, they 
seemed to like the game very much, and we extend them 
a welcome to come and see us as often as they wish. 
There will be a hot lunch served gratis. We have 
just received a lot of pine logs for the fireplace, there 
are some nice comfortable easy chairs to lounge around 
in, a good bunch of shooters to tell a funny story to, 
lots of bluerocks to shoot at and shells to shoot them 
with, the trolley runs within three minutes’ walk of the 
grounds, and everybody is welcome to the Hudson Gun 
Club grounds, so if you like the game come out and 
see us, and don't forget 
Dec. 3. We start shooting 
the date of our next 
at 9:30 A. M. Scores:

The Fred Macaulay Business Men’s Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., Nov. 14. —The stiff wind that swept 
across the grounds at the Fred Macaulay Business Men’s 
Gun Club Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 7, proved an ad¬ 
ditional factor for the gunners to contend with in their 
weekly shoot. Perfect strings were in the minority, the 
only straight breaks being returned by J. Fanning and 
F. Compton, who succeeded in smashing every one of 
the 25 bluerocks thrown from the traps. B. M. Shanley, 
Jr., averaged 21 for eight strings. Von Lengerke did 
the best general work of the day. 
A special shoot for the B. M. Shanley medal will be 
held at the traps on Nov. 24, and entrants in this event 
are expected to register their names at the next regular 
shoot. 
The scores made yesterday follow:

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The attendance at the Nov. 19 shoot was small owing 
to the fact that many of the active members were away 
after quail and rabbits. George Dameron has just re¬ 
turned from a three days’ hunt, and reports poor sport, 
the natives informing him that the birds were all cleaned 
out three weeks before the opening of the season—a 
good chance for a game warden in that locality. 
McArdle was over to-day for the first time since last 
September, and showed that he had not quite forgotten 
how by going an 84 per cent. gait. Dameron was the 
only one to shoot a score for the trophy, and scored 44 
from 18yds. There are seven more matches in this 
series, but only four of the eighteen who entered still 
have a chance to get in. The members seem to have 
taken little interest in this match, although the con¬ 
ditions were about as fair as they could have been made, 
and the expense of entering was nothing but the cost of 
the 50 targets. Holaday was high man with 62 out of 
75, a low score for him, and caused by his use of a very 
short-barreled field gun. Shooting at doubles he did 
better work, breaking 21 out of 14 pairs. Day, shooting 
at 12 pairs broke 16. 
The next shoot will be held on Nov. 26, and there will 
probably be some special events on Thanksgiving Day, 
Nov. 30.

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Nov. 11. —While the weather was quite 
warm to-day, the wind was blowing a gale that at times 
almost blew the shooters off their feet, and quite often 
they pulled the trigger just as the wind would put them 
loff their balance, and the shot would go wide of the 
target, consequently the scores are away below the 
average. 
Greenfield, Bristol and King each had their first trial 
at trapshooting to-day, and they did fine, considering 
the hard conditions. 
Both Lynn and Hanson would be among the top-notch 
members of the club if they would only come oftener 
and get the practice. 
In figuring up the totals of the season winners, given 
in last week's report. Geo. Eck should be given ninth 
position with a total of 428 out of 500 instead of as 
shown.

Nov. 12.—The gale which was blowing all day yester¬ 
day developed into a severe rainstorm, which ended in 
a blizzard, and the six shooters who came out for a 
little practice had the sharp, cold wind to contend with, 
and after shooting each frame they were glad to run 
in to the club house to warm up. May was the only one 
to break a straight frame, which he did his last time up, 
Thomas being close behind him with 19 in each of his 
last two frames. Kammerer also had one 19 out of 20 
to his credit. May, Kammerer and Driver report hav¬ 
ing had a splendid time among the ducks the past week. 
We also heard one of them tell one on a certain doctor, 
who had his “pusher” guessing for a while, as he said 
that every time Doc. had a duck lined up he called 
“Pull,” and he didn’t know what to make of it until 
later on, when others of the party told him it was all 
right, as Doc. is one of the regulars at both the Chi¬ 
cago and Riverside gun clubs, and he is so used to 
calling “Pull” that he thinks he must call every time 
he pulls a trigger. 
Another one is on two well-known members of our 
club, who were out in a duck blind, the wife of one of 
them was also a member of the party. All were deeply 
interested in a lunch, and one of them was also spinning 
one of his notorious yarns, and was just in an ex¬ 
citing part of the story when in came a fine flock of 
ducks and dropped near their decoys. It was then 
that the party of three got busy. One of them let drive 
four shots from his “automatic” before he got it ex¬ 
tricated from the blind, the other tried to hurry too much 
and had two shells jammed, and it remained for the 
little lady of the party to show them how to bring 
down the ducks, which she did by killing two, and then 
she only smiled.

Marine and Field Club. 
Bath Beach, N. Y., Nov. 15.—The same old reliable 
shooters, five strong, took their positions at the traps 
here to-day. Paul R. Towne, club president, won the 
leg on the November cup, making 86 out of 106, with his 
2 handicap. With 5 handicap, C. D. Sayre made 24 and 
won the sweepstakes. 
A bunch of professionals dropped in to encourage the 
gentle art of trapshooting, and as usual, made a deep 
impression. H. W. Welles was high for the professionals 
with both events to his credit. R. Schneider was next 
professional laddy with second in both events. 
The regular Saturday, Nov. 19, weather prevailed, 
same here as elsewhere in the East, and blew the targets 
out of their course.

But few target shooters faced the traps of the Indian¬ 
apolis Gun Club, Nov. 11 and 18, the majority of them 
being afield after bobwhite and the timid bunny. 
On the lltli Parry was high in practice, and beat the 
handicap in the weekly spoon contest. Moller was first 
in both events on the 18th, when the scores were gen¬ 
erally low, due to a hurricane which was blowing across 
the traps: The scores follow:
