By winning the event again the contest is given 
to the local team and each member of the Rock¬ 
ford team will sport a beautiful watch fob as the re¬ 
sult. This match has created a lot of interest among 
cities and after the shoot a four team match was ar¬ 
ranged between Janesville, Beloit, Capron and Rock¬ 
ford. The first shoot to be held at Janesville on 
October 14th, the second at Capron, October 27th and 
the third at Beloit on November 10th and the fourth at 
Rockford, November 24th. There will be some prizes 
put up and Rockford is in hopes of winning the prizes, 
though it has some strong teams to shoot against. 
Before the shoot, L. Mlichale of Beloit had the Rock¬ 
ford team pose while he took their picture. A. B. 
Tucker acted as field captain and conducted the shoot 
in a very creditable way. There were 4,200 targets 
thrown from the 2 traps in about 3 hours. Gus Bosh- 
land verv ably acted as referee as did Joe Bidlack. 
A. M. Burr will probably have to shoot a match with 
H C. Kellogg to see who is the owner of one trophy 
as’ Kellogg shot the first match at Beloit, but being 
out of the city, Br. Burr shot in his place.

Newburgh Gun Club. 
Newburgh, N. Y. 
The Newburgh Gun and Rifle Club held a successful 
merchandise shoot Saturday afternoon. The conditions 
were good with the exception of a high wind which 
made good shooting at times difficult. Beside the 
members of the local club, the Miillbrook and Red Hook 
Gun Clubs were also represented. 
The high professional score of the day was made by 
H. S. Wells, and the high amateur score by B. May¬ 
nard Higginson. Andrew J. Leicht won the quail stick 
pin for the high score made by the user of DuPont 
powders. The merchandise prizes were many and 
varied and every contestant received something. Fif¬ 
teen men completed the full score of one hundred tar¬ 
gets, there being eight events, and the high man in 
each event received a handsome pocket knife. The win¬ 
ners of these events were: B. Maynard Higginson, 
A. J. Leicht, H. B. Tuthill, J. W. Bain. L. Stewart 
Wing, Jr., J. R. Thompson, Jr., J. R. Watson and H. 
Kernahan. A knife was also given to Mr. Wells, the 
only professional present. E. O. Hapeman made the 
lowest score for the day and he received an extra prize 
of a bottle of ketchup. Mr. Wing is a member of the 
Millbrook Gun Club and Mr. Bain and Mr. Hapeman 
belong to the Red Hook Club. 
Hereafter the club will shoot on the first and third 
Saturdays of each month and it is possible that a 
special "shoot may be held the latter part of October 
and around Thanksgiving time a poultry shoot will be 
held.

Laconia 
The Laconia Gun Club 
Gun 
held 
Club. 
the banner meet 
of the 
season on September 19, at the 
Opechee Park, grounds. 
Thirty-six shooters participated 
in the 
fascinating sport 
of trap shooting. 
Members of the Tilton and Goffstown Gun clubs were 
present, as well as three 
of the trade 
: experts, 
W. G. 
Hill, of the Remington U. M. C. Co., G. Wheeler, of 
the U. S. Cartridge Co., and A. E. Sibley, of the 
American Powder Co. 
The weather was ideal and nearly 300 spectators as¬ 
sembled to witness the shooting. Field Captain P. M. 
Kling, a veteran at the spert, kept things moving, so 
there were no annoying delays. 
The first shoot on the program consisted of five 
events of 10 birds each, so targets in all. Some ex¬ 
cellent shooting was done in this first match, as the 
score below will show. P. M. Kling was high gun, 
with 47 out of 50, or 94 per cent., while Messrs. Hill, 
Bosworth and Larson tied for second place, with 45 out 
of 50, or 90 per cent.

The next number on the program was the special fea¬ 
ture of the meet, an exhibition of expert and fancy 
shooting by W. G. Hill of the Remington U. M. C. Co. 
Mr. Hill ably demonstrated that he was skillful in 
handling the rifle as well as the gun. After shooting 
at various objects in the air, including eggs and cans 
of tomatoes, to the great amusement of the crowd, he 
placed a sheet of tin against the plank shield for the 
trapper and proceeded to cut out an Indian’s head 
with a small rifle, making nearly 200 shots in perform¬ 
ing the feat. 
Next came a team contest between three squads rep¬ 
resenting the Goffstown, Tilton and Laconia clubs, 
respectively. This number was a 20 target event and 
was warmiy contested with score as follows:

The Laconia Gun Club extends a hearty vote of thanks 
to the members of the Tilton and Goffstown Gun clubs, 
and to the trade experts, who so ably assisted in mak¬ 
ing this meet a success. 
As a result of the enthusiasm aroused by this meet, 
over 30 new members have joined the club. 
Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., October 3, 1914. 
This was opening day at the Jersey City Gun Club 
and fourteen of the boys were on hand to help pry 
off the cover and some pretty fair scores were made 
considering the fact that several of the members are 
starting the season with new guns. Dr. Culver very 
generously brought along two very fine prizes for the 
shooters to contest for and Dr. Moeller and Kearney 
tied and after three shoot-offs Kearney put the Doctor 
down and out and took first prize, a smokers’ set, and 
the Doctor got a fine Morocco bill fold for his good 
work. Dixon and Culver tied for high scratch prize 
with 88 per cent, each and Dr. Pinkerton was third 
with 86 per cent. The scores in strings of 25 were as 
follow: 
North . 21 18 18

Every year W. S. Cutler of the Chicago Gun Club 
who is a traveling salesman, makes Richmond and drops 
out to show us how they play the game out west. He 
is a great old sportsman and always a welcome guest. 
We are only sorry he does not come oftener. In the 
team race Capt. Hotchkiss, Hart, Flippen, Hunter and 
Williams trimmed Capt. L. Von Rueger, Boyd, Tignor, 
.Terman and Crenshaw thre birds.

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
We were again favored with a perfect day for the 
first shoot for October, and it made one feel that it was 
good to be out in the open. Some excellent scores 
were again made to-day. Fish being high with 94 x 100 
from scratch while Walls was high with 98 with his 
handicap added. The new grounds are found to be 
very convenient for both automobilists and those who 
use the trolley which fact will no doubt help to in¬ 
crease the regular attendance. Scores:
