Atl4ntic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 2. —Appended herewith you 
will' find scores made by our boys on New Year’s after¬ 
noon. 
In the 10-target events there was a turkey for first and 
a chicken for second prize, besides the sweepstakes, 
which were divided Rose system. 
Headley, who has been running in such hard luck 
lately was successful in carrying away the laurels—two 
turkeys and one chicken. 
Shinn, the veteran, succeeded in getting; away with a 
chicken after a hard-fought shoot-off; he is a hard one 
to beat when he 
once settles 
down to business

No. 1 event was won by McGuire on shoot-off. No. 
3 was won by Osgood. No. 4 was won by Conover. No. 
5 was won by Headley, each of the above gentlemen 
getting a 10 -lb. gobbler. 
Event No. 6 was for the club medal and was won by 
Smith after a shoot-off with McGuire, 19 to 16 re¬ 
spectively. 
The team shoot created lots of interest, and it surely 
was a close finish. 
Pennell and Sheppard were both off; didn’t seem to 
want any turkey at all; better luck next time.

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 2.-— The annual field day of the 
Buflalo-Audubon Club was held on their grounds, at 
Main and Laselle avenues yesterday. It was an all-day 
shoot, commencing at 10 o’clock in the morning, forty- 
two shooters taking part. 
The club was honored by the presence of three of 
their oldest members, two of whom shot in several events 
^Mr. Storey and Mr. Eaton. Mr. Downs was one of the 
lookers on. 
The badge winners were: Class A, Mr. Bernhard; 
Class B, Mr. Warner; Class C, Mr. Mesinger. 
The weather conditions, cold and windy, made shoot- 
very difficult, but even under these conditions some 
of the members shot exceedingly well in a number of 
events. 
The club members were very much gratified at the 
attendance, which indicates the enthusiasm that is being 
exhibited on account of the big event, that is the East- 
ern Handicap for 1909, 
which 
1 is 
to 
be 
held under their 
auspices. Following are the

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 3.—In spite of the unfavor¬ 
able conditions, caused by the dark haze and high wind 
that blew across the traps of the Hudson Gun Club to¬ 
day, the scores of the members and their friends were 
in general not up to the usual standard. 
Event No. 3, scheduled as the club shoot, was won 
by B. Beach for the best day’s score, but was conceded 
to Jos. Whitley for the season’s work, the prize being 
a gold watch fob, donated by our club member and 
Western Cartridge Co.’s representative, Mr. H. L. 
Brown. Second prize was won by J. Putney, a gold- 
mounted Waterman fountain pen, donated by Mr, A W 
Hughes; third prize, a set of gold cufif buttons and stick 
pm, was won by Thos. H. Kelley; fourth prize, 250 
loaded shells, by Wm. O’Brien. For the best total 
^ore, a box of 50 Havana cigars was awarded to H L 
Burlington, who broke 140 targets out of 150 shot at 
during this contest. 
The next shoot will be held on Jan. 17, and visitors 
and beginners are always welcome. The club serves a 
hot lunch during the cold weather to shooters and their 
friends, gratis.

Nonicl&ir Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Jan. 1.— Besides a miss-and-out 
match, four regular 10 -target events were run off in the 
morning. 
Messrs. McKay and Palmer shot over the traps for 
the first time to-day. 
None of the scores made were particularly creditable 
to their makers, although the weather conditions were all 
that could have been desired. 
Howard corriled two trophies during the morning, just 
because no one else was shooting very well. 
On the 8 th the club commences a contest for a hand¬ 
some silver service, the gift of Mr. Thomas Dukes:

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Jan. 1.—This was the fourth annual 
president’s shoot, and was a record-breaker in the matter 
of attendance, good fellowship, fine weather and good 
competition. It was an invitation affair, all of the con¬ 
testants being club members, guests of Col. Brandretli, 
excepting Messrs. Robert B. and Rutherford Lawrence, 
John Philip Sousa, William Johnstone and J. S. Fanning, 
all of New York city, and William H. Hyland, of Croton 
Lake. According to custom at New Year’s shoots, the 
traps were screwed up to the limit of their throwing 
capacity, so the scores can in no way compare vvith the 
shooting possibilities of the contestants. Trap No. 1 threw 
targets 60yds., and those from No. 2 seemed to fly 
100yds., but likely 70yds. was the limit of the right- 
quarterers from No. 2, helped along by the wind. Messrs. 
E. I. Cole and G. H. Eldridge shot targets for the first 
time. Some of the others had shot very little. The 
conditions called strictly for a closing of entries at 
2 o’clock. Several members came up late, and therefore 
were not eligible to shoot for the prizes. J. S. Fanning, 
the Dupont expert, made high score on No. 1 trap with 
22- Rutherford Lawrence got high score at No. 2 with 
18, which looks low out of 25, but one must try such 
targets to appreciate them. Mr. Lawrence shot from a 
kneeling position, which made his performance most 
spectacular. After the main event of 50 targets, some 
archery was indulged in by Messrs. Lawrence, Brandreth 
and Cole which was highly enjoyed' by the spectators. 
Handicap event No. 4, was for five special prizes, 
which were won by Fanning, Brandreth, Hyland, Willi 
and Zarr in the order named. Events Nos. 1 and 2 
made up the 50 targets in the big handicap; No. 3 was 
a practice event.
