Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 17. —Inclosed are scores of 
the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club 
that was held this morning. The day was bright and 
very blustery, and at times the wind was speeding across 
the meadows at a fiftv-mile an hour clip, which made 
the targets cut up all kinds of antics, and the shooter do 
his best to get a fair percentage of targets shot at. 
There were twenty-four shooters who took part in the 
several events that were carded this morning, and Carl 
von Lengerke was high gun with 84 per cent. Elmer 
Hallenger was the runner-up with 83 per cent., while A. 
P. Lane, after a bad start, succeeded in finishing third 
high ivith an average of 80 per cent. 
Our next shoot will be held on Dec. 31, and any 
shooter that can handle a shotgun is welcome to shoot 
along with us. They will find a bunch of jolly good 
fellows at the club house that are always ready to give 
the beginner at the game the benefit of their experience 
and whatever advice they can to help them become 
good trapshots. 
To reach the Hudson’s grounds take the Turnp'ke 
car from the Pennsylvania R. R. Ferry at Jersey City, 
or at any point in Newark, and ride to the west side 
of the Hackensack River bridge, walk along the path to 
the D. L. & W. R. R. embankment, and after crossing 
the tracks you will see the Stars and Stripes flying at 
the club grounds. We start to shoot at 9:30 A. M., and 
make noise as long as the shells last, so come out and 
help us make more noise.

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
There was a small attendance at the weekly shoot on 
Dec. 10, the weather being very unfavorable. Some rain 
fell, and the hazy conditions of the atmosphere made it 
almost impossible to see the targets, while a stiff wind 
caused them to be very erratic in their flight. On the 
previous week the shoot was called off owing to rain and 
snow, though a few of the real gun cranks of the club 
went out to the grounds. 
In to-day’s shoot Holaday was high man on a score 
much below his average. Irwin, who finished in second 
place, was also shooting lower than his usual gait. 
Voige was handicapped by using a 20gauge field gun, 
as well as by the weather, and lost more targets than 
lie generally does. In the trophy shoot Dameron was 
high with 40. Irwin put up a score of 39, and Voige 
got 32. Luverne arrived at the grounds late, and did 
not shoot for the trophy. The club officers are arrang¬ 
ing for a special shoot on Dec. 31, and for a few events 
at white flyers on Jan. 1, thus saying good-by to the 
old year and welcoming the new year in fitting manner. 
Several of the members will attend the “home coming” 
shoot which the Hyde Park Gun Club proposes to give 
on Dec. tfi. Things have been pretty o_uiet with this 
club for the past three or four weeks, so many of the 
members have been away hunting; but as the season is 
now over, the officers mean to revive the interest if 
possible, and they promise something good for next 
Saturday. The members should back them up by turn¬ 
ing out in force.

Harp conditions on Dec. 17 limited the attendance at 
the weekly shoot, and also had a bad effect on the work 
of those who took part. The skv was covered by heavv, 
low-lying clouds, against which it was almost impossible 
to see the targets. However, there were two or three 
shooters who broke a very good percentage of their 
targets, Dameron making 47 in his. score for the club 
trophv; Ford, a visitor, equalling this in his last 50, and 
Holaday breaking the same number in the two events 
in which he entered. J. B. C. was out to-day for the 
first time in several months, and broke 90 per cent, in 
the first two events, falling down in the third, which 
was shot at nearly dusk. Luverne got into one event 
and lost so many that he would not try again. Day, 
the crack professional, was not in shape and put up a 
score that is not placed against his name many times 
in a year. Richards was doing a little experimenting 
with ammunition, which accounts for his score falling 
about 35 per cent, below his usual mark. Ertel, a quite 
frequent and always welcome visitor, shot a 90 per cent, 
gait. 
The club trophy shoot is practically settled. There 
are two or three more events in the series, but Dameron

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 16. — The last shoot for the year 
was held under very trying weather conditions, the 
light being so poor at times that the targets were hardly 
discernible. Covert broke 77 out of 80 at l’ 6 yds., while 
Smith was second with 72. Smith distinguished himself 
by breaking 20 straight from 20yds. Scores:

Manhasset Bay Y. C. 
Port Washington, L. T.. Dec. 17. —First-rate scores 
were turned in at the shoot here to-day. 1 here was a 
clear background, but a vicious cross-wind luffed the 
targets at inopportune moments. Brother Silkworth, who 
lit at Glen Head on his way down, long enough to ex¬ 
press home all the prizes at the Saturday shoot, won 
the 10-bird scratch event with 9, and the 25-bird handicap 
with a full score. Alker and Hoyt tied for second in 
the 10 -bird match. Hoyt won the 15-target scratch race, 
took third in the monthly cup and 25-bird handicap. 
Alker shook a leg on the monthly cup with a full score, 
and repeated the operation on the yearly cup. Clark 
played second fiddle in the 15-bird scratch event with 
12, and in the 25-bird handicap with (4) 24.

Hell Gate Gun Club 
Gresemerville, Pa., Dec. 13.—They turned loose a 
bunch of hand-groomed birds here to-day that must 
have been trained into condition by Mike Murphy. They 
flew strong and fast, and made interesting shooting. It 
was a distance and point handicap. Schortemeier, from 
31yds., took the money witli 27 birds. Meckel was sec¬ 
ond with 23. Third cush was split by three shooters.
