Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Jan. 1. —The Bergen Beach Gun Club, of Brooklyn, 
N. Y., held its usual annual merchandise handicap 
contest. The conditions were 50 targets per man, with 
re-entry allowed. 
Many other events were shot, as shown by the scores 
following. 
The weather was clear, but clouded up a bit toward the 
close of the day, the wind shifting from northwest to 
southwest, and played the deuce with the scores. 
A total of fifty-eight shooters faced the traps, of which 
fifty—forty-six amateurs and four manufacturers’ repre¬ 
sentatives—shot in the main event. It will be noted that 
the shooting was inconsistent with the ability of the 
many good performers present. Messrs. Hallenger and 
Shannon withdrew after the first half, probably disgusted 
with their resulting score, though Mr. Hallenger’s trig¬ 
ger finger was in bad shape, and Mr. Shannon had to 
go to his home grounds to finish up the day. 
The No. 2 set brought forth some better scores. The 
main event was shot at the club or No. 1 set of traps. 
Dr. Culver’s two 23s, E. Jacobus’ 23, McClave’s and R. 
L. Jacobus’ 22s, Elliott’s 22 and O’Brien’s, Howard’s 
and Haney s 21s were the best performances in the main 
event. John Hendrickson’s two 21s tied him for first 
place in Class A with Charlie McClave. The whole 
ljunch were at sea. At the No. 2 set, Hendrickson, 
Howard and Woodruff made straights of 15 each, and 
Hendrickson got a 24 in an extra 25-bird event. 
In all, 7,090 targets were thrown. Refreshments were 
gratis to shooters, as usual. Twenty-two merchandise 
prizes were offered, of which three were distributed in 
Class A, six in Class B, and thirteen in Class C, con¬ 
testants shooting at 16, 17 and 18yds. respectively. This 
was the fifth New Year’s contest of the club, and the 
entries exceeded those of last year. 
Our serial shoots for the John Hendrickson trophies 
begin on Jan. 12. 
About 3,500 shells were sold to shooters on the grounds 
by the club. The contestants came as usual from all 
distances. 
The 1909 club membership watch fobs were much 
admired.

Live Bird Champion Shoot. 
Dayton, Ky.—The Northern Kentucky Gun Club held 
its third annual tri-State live-bird shoot on Jan. 1 , at the 
club grounds, near Dayton. There was a good attend¬ 
ance, twenty-five shooters taking part in the various 
events and a couple of hundred spectators being on the 
grounds during the day. The weather was cold and 
threatening snow in the morning, but the sun came 
through the clouds about noon, and for the balance of 
the day it was very comfortable. 
The shoot this year was more successful than on the 
previous occasion, as the club was much better pre¬ 
pared to look out for the comfort of the visitors than 
ever before. 
In 1907 the trophy was won by C. A. Young, of 
Springfield, O., and in 1908 by H. Bonser, of Hartwell, 
Ohio. 
Among the out-of-town shooters were: Ed. Voris, of 
Crawfordsville, Ind.; W. R. Chamberlain and W. H. 
Webster, of Columbus, O.; G. G. Williamson, of 
Muncie, Ind.; F. Pragoff, of Louisville, Ky.; PI. A. 
Woody, of Cynthiana, Ky.; R. M. True, of Lawrence- 
burg, Ind. and J. V. Dea, of Maysville, Ky. 
The birds were an unusually good lot, very few sit¬ 
ters, and all strong and fast on the wing, as several of 
the shooters learned to their cost when hard-hit birds 
fell dead just over the boundary. 
Two sets of traps were used, the squads shooting at 
3 birds over No. 1 and. then 2 over No. 2. In this 
way there was no delay in running off the events, and 
starting at about 10 o’clock, the main shoot was over at 
3 in the afternoon. The balance of the day till dark was 
taken up in shooting miss-and-outs. The first event 
was won by E. Voris, who killed 23 straight and missed 
his 24th bird. He took first money and the trophy. 
Holaday and Chamberlain were second with 23 kills. 
In the second event only four shooters went into the 
optional sweep, and the money was captured by Voris on 
15 straight. The third event had seven in the optional, 
Anderson and Williamson dividing the purse on straight 
scores of 10. Capt. A. W. du Bray returned from a 
long trip in the Northwest a few days ago, where he 
had been having great sport duck shooting with his 
favorite 20 -gauge gun, and was using the same weapon 
here. He starts for New York in a day or two, and will 
make an extended trip through the South before getting 
back home again. 
As usual, the grounds were surrounded by bush¬ 
whackers, and the pigeons which escaped the shot of the 
contestants, seldom succeeded in dodging the shots of 
the outsiders. A hot dinner was served in the club 
house at noon, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the 
shooters. At trap No. 1, O. J. Holaday, Sr., was ref¬ 
eree, and W. Cunningham, scorer. At trap No. 2, 
Cooney Klein, referee and E. Roose, scorer. Dr. I. P. 
Gould looked after the office work, and none of the 
winners had to wait for their money after the events 
closed. The trade was represented by Messrs. A. W. 
du Bray, F. Le Noir, C. A. Young and C. O. Le 
Compte. Late in the afternoon Ralph Trimble got out 
to the grounds and witnessed the finish. Chamberlain 
and Webster were delayed in reaching the grounds and 
did not show up until nearly noon. They entered in 
the big race and in the optional sweep in the third 
event, but were too late for the second optional, other¬ 
wise the former would have come for a share in the 
purse, as he killed the 15 straight. Dr. Gould was 
unable to finish the 25-bird race, as he was called away 
to attend the wounded in a little private shooting scrap 
which took place a few blocks from the grounds. The 
trophy, presented by the club, was a very pretty gold 
watch charm, suitably engraved. 
Event No. 1 was for a trophy emblematic of the live- 
bird championship of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, 
open to residents of those States only. The purse was 
open to all amateurs, 25 birds (in series of five), en¬ 
trance $15, birds extra; handicaps, 28 to 32yds.; 5 
straight go back 1yd.; 4 out of 5 stay at same mark; 
3 out of 5 go up 1yd.. One money for each five entries 
or fraction; class shooting. There were four moneys, 
divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent.:

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Dec. 28.—The special cup shoot of the 
Palefaces, held here to-day, experienced the hardest sort 
of luck from the Weather Man, the thermometer hov¬ 
ering close to the zero mark, which, together with a 
forty-mile-an-hour breeze, made the shooting exceedingly 
difficult. 
O. R. Dickey was the leading light, his 76 per cent, 
being sufficient tO’ win out over Ins nearest adversary. 
Hank Stevens, who had to be content with his 72, the 
lowest on his ledger for some time. 
On the amateur side. Frost and Todd tied for 69, with 
Bob Burnes next in lihe with 66 . On the shoot-off. 
Frost soon took the lead and held it to the end, though 
Todd hung on even though served with rather the harder 
targets of the two. 
Special cups for the fifth and ninth shooters, fell to 
Frank, with 55, and Crowley with 43, the lowest scores 
taking cups on this grounds in many moons.
