FOREST AND STREAM 
[Jan. 23, 1909. 
The next shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, Jersey City, 
is announced for Jan. 31. All shooters are invited to 
attend. 
The shooting contest for two hogs, fixed to be held at 
Belmont Park, Philadelphia, Jan. 1C, was postponed to 
Saturday of this week, on account of the severe storm 
which was so prevalent on .Saturday of last week. 
tn 
On Saturday of this week the Manhasset Bay Yacht 
Club ten-man team will contest with a ten-man team of 
the Garden City, L. I., Gun Club on the grounds of the 
latter. Feb. 20, the return match will take place on the 
grounds of the yacht club.

A voluptuous hog was the prize eagerly contested for 
at the shoot of the Walfont. Pa.. Gun Club on Jan. 16. 
The snowstorm and high wind made sorrowful breaks in 
the scores. There were many Philadelphia shooters in 
attei dance. Taylor, of the Highland Gun Club, annexed 
the useful prize. 
In a live-bird match at Pottstown, Pa., Jan. 16, be¬ 
tween ^Messrs. Remington and Coldron, both of Read¬ 
ing, Remington won by a straight score of 25 to 23. A 
snowstorm prevailed at the time. Remington also shot 
well in the sweepstakes, going straight in one 10 -bird 
event, scoring 9 out of 10 in another 10-bird event, and 
winning a miss-and-out, six entries, w’ith a score of 5. 
•t 
There were eighteen contestants in the 10-bird event 
of the Penrose Gun Club, at Philadelphia, on Saturday 
of last week. The snow and stiff wind were obstructive 
to the interests of the shooters, some of the birds being 
helped out of bounds by the strong wind, while others 
betimes could be seen but dimly through the storm. 
Nevertheless, three, Messrs. Rodman, Felix and Forsyth, 
killed 10 straight. 
K 
A very close race was that between State champion 
Harry E. Buckwalter, of Royersford, Pa., and Mr. G. G. 
kliller, of Troppe, Pa., at 100 birds, for a purse of $100, 
30yds. rise. Miller had an allowance of 25 dead birds; 
that is, his first 25 were scored as dead. A high cold 
V. ind and a snowstorm prevailed, which the shooters 
faced. The weather conditions, therefore, were opposed 
to good scores. The scores were: Buckwalter 85, Miller 
84, the former winning thus by the margin of one bird. 
Mr. “Jimmie” Bell, of St. Louis, shot on the grounds 
of the Indianapolis, Ind., Gun Club, Jan. 26. the 
weather conditions — cold, windy, cloudy and snow-cov¬ 
ered fields — being apparently to his liking, as he smashed 
47 out cf 50 in the trophy shoot. His ne.xt nearest com¬ 
petitor, Dixon, scored 43. Bell’s total w'as 111 out of 120, 
92.5 per cent. If he could be placed near the North 
Pole, where the arctic weather prevails, he inferentially 
would break them all. 
The return contest between ten-man teams of the 
Crescent and New York Athletic clubs, was shot on 
the grounds of the latter, at Travers Island, N. Y., on 
Saturday of last week. The weather was cold and un¬ 
comfortable, with a dull light, conditions unfavorable to 
high scores. The Crescent team won the contest by a 
total of 813 to 791. The first contest, shot on the 
Crescent Athletic Club’s grounds at Bay Ridge, on 
Jan. 9, was won by the Crescent team, the totals being 
847 to 819. The totals of the two matches are: Crescent, 
1660; New York, 1610. A match, twenty men on a side, 
is now under consideration.

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Jan. 16. —Scores herewith were made 
to-day, it being a regular bi-monthly shoot. The weather 
conditions were not the kind that are productive of 
good scores. Event 3 was a prize handicap and was 
won by Wm. Fisher, who made a straight without his 
handicap. Brandreth and Willi had a couple of tie 
25-target races in the half light of the latter part of the 
afternoon, Brandreth showing unexpected form with a 
strange gun:

Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Bergen Beach, .L. I.—A northeast wind greeted the 
members of the Bergen Beach Gun Club on the occasion 
of the first of the serial shoots for the J. H. Hendrick¬ 
son trophies and other club prizes on Tuesday, Jan. 12. 
The Inain event was at 50 targets, three classes, distance 
handicap. 
In the afternoon the wind changed again and agahi, 
accompanied by a fine drizzling rain driving directly up 
the shooter’s gun barrels, and the powder residue filled 
the eyes of the contestants and made good scores in¬ 
frequent. Those using eyeglasses were simply out of it. 
Notwithstanding the inclement weather, thirty-seven 
shooters faced the score. In Class A, Geo. Kouwenhoven 
from the back mark, was high. Mr. H. T. Lee in Class 
B, topped the scores on a new member. Mr. F. Ehr- 
hardt did the trick in Class C. 
The handicapping showed very even results. Class A 
scores running from 28 to 42, Class B from 29 to 42, and 
Class C from 42 down. Fairly even handicapping, I 
opine, as any committee who ever tried this thankless 
task will acknowledge. 
Besides the regular events, which consumed 4,575 tar¬ 
gets, some 500 extras were used before the programme 
began. 
Messrs. John Martin and Harry Montanus were present 
only as onlookers, but we figure on the first-named at 
Alontclair and Syracuse. ' He simply has become stale, 
and a little rest will doubtlessly put him at the top again. 
Louis Harrison, one of our old live-bird experts, was 
high in the five 20 -target events with 86 , a very creditable 
score under the circumstances. The next contest will 
take place on Tuesday, Feb. 9. when we hope the weather 
will be more propitious. Referees to-day were H. P. 
Fessenden and F. C. Schneider. Scorers, .Sam Short 
and W. J. Schneider.' Cashier, E. W. Reynolds.

Jan. 16. — There was a hard northeast snowstorm, and 
therefore it was next to impossible to connect properly 
with the targets. The wind was very strong, blowing 
directly into the faces of the shooters.

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo. X'. Y.. Jan. 16. —The regular semi-monthly 
shoot of the Buffalo-Audubon Club was held this after¬ 
noon in a driving windstorm. This accounts for the low 
scores. 
The Eastern Handicap will be held under the auspices 
of the Audubon Club this summer, and the dates 
claimed are July 20-22. Alatches with Toronto and Ham¬ 
ilton. Ont., are to be shot during the next two months, 
the former on a date to be settled on, and the latter 
probably on Feb. 22. at Hamilton.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Jan. 9.—Regardless of the very misty 
conditions and threatening weather, a very good little 
representation of gunners made their appearance at the 
traps, and enjoyed the afternoon’s fun. The most of 
the boys like to shoot on a damp day, as the targets 
seem to go up in puff balls when you hit them. 
The Wolf trophy, holder. Harry E. Smith, was chal¬ 
lenged for by Fred Shattuck for a race on Saturday 
afternoon, the conditions being two 25-bird strings from 
16yds. In the first. Mr. Smith broke 22 and Mr. Shat¬ 
tuck 20. In the second string, Mr. Smith broke 24 and 
Mr. Shattuck 23; total. Smith 46, Shattuck 43. Harry 
had his war paint on and did a fine afternoon’s work 
under the existing conditions, with a 25 straight and 
93 out of 100. 
Messrs. Kelly, Hartrauft, Hildinger and Armstrong, 
of London, O., made the club a visit to look over the 
new Ideal trap, as they have organized a new gun club 
at London and expect to install an up-to-date trap and 
little shooting lodge, and will be in shape to pull off a 
tournament this spring. 
Trapshooting interests in Columbus are greatly on the 
increase. A great many new members have been very 
recently added to the club’s roster. Among them Dr. 
Yeatman Wardlow, Dr. C. P. Linhart, Messrs. George 
S. Butler, Stanlev G, Brooks, Ralph B. May, K. D. 
Dood, Bowman F. Reinmund, O. D. Leavering and G. 
A. Bennett, the outlook for the largest and best season 
ever experienced by the Columbus Gun Club is very- 
flattering. The Ohio State shoot, which the Columbus 
Gun Club will exert every possible effort to make a 
great success this year, will take place on the first, 
second, third and fourth days of June. Application for 
registration has been made to "the Interstate Association 
for the shoot of the Ohio State Trapshooters’ League, 
under the auspices of the Columbus Gun Club. Pro¬ 
grammes will be ready May 1. All Ohio shooters who 
wish to attend the Ohio State shoot will be forwarded 
programmes on application to Fred Shattuck, secretary, 
Columbus Gun Club, 48 Board of Trade Building, Colum¬ 
bus, O. Scores:

The Columbus Gun Club has changed its dates of 
Feb. 25 and 26, to April 7, 8 and 9. Programme con¬ 
sisting of five 20-bird events on Wednesday, April 7: 
targets one cent. Ten events of 20 birds each on April 
8 , and ten events of 20 birds each on the 9th. On 
Thursday evening the visiting shooters will be enter¬ 
tained with a banquet given in their honor by the mem¬ 
bers of the Columbus Gun Club, at the Chittenden Hotel. 
German room. The programme of this shoot will be 
ready for the mails on Alarch 1 ; $200 added money; $10 
will be added to eact event instead of average money. 
Four moneys to each event, divided percentage system. 
The traps that will be used at the .Ohio State shoot will 
be all in operation at this time, and will give shooters 
an opportunity to get good practice over same. 
The Saturday afternoon shoot of the 16th was very 
much enjoyed, regardless of more or less unpleasant 
conditions, caused by a heavy mist, and sleet that at 
times made it uncomfortable for the eyes. The well- 
known and popular Sir Thomas Marshall, of Chicago, 
the advocate of trapshooting for out-of-door sport, was a 
guest of the club, and was just as entertaining as of old, 
and the boys enjoyed his being with us. John R. Taylor, 
W. R. Chamberlain and Fred Shattuck, just returned 
from the Grand Canadian Handicap, were a part of the 
Oliio delegation who attended this very important event, 
which consisted of Messrs. D. A. Upson, George F. 
Gilchrist, George S. Burns, E. S. Rogers, W. R. Telling 
and R. G. Sheldon, and- Wm. C. Boardman, of Cleveland, 
O. They called themselves the Ohio Squad at the tour¬ 
nament which was held under the auspices of the Ham¬ 
ilton, Ont., Gun Club. The pleasure of meeting the 
Canadian gentlemen and members of the Hamilton Gun 
Club was indeed a pleasure, and the enjoyment incident 
to participation in their live-bird and target shooting 
was most thoroughly imbibed by all of ten from Ohio. 
At the Saturday shoot, Mr. Wm. Webster made the 
splendid score of 120 out of a possible 125. which, under 
the conditions, was a fine exhibition of skill. 
Air. Harris, of Columbus, O., was a guest of the club 
Saturday, and for a beginner surprised us with the 
shooting he did. A very bright future is predicted for 
this young man with such a beginning. 
A one day’s shoot for February will be announced in 
the next issue, at the Columbus Gun Club, with a 
number of very attractive features. 
The April tournament of the Columbus Gun Club will 
be given on April 8 , and 9, with $200 added, $7 added to 
each event; $140 and $60 to high average; $15 to first 
high and $10 to second high, and $5 to the next seven 
high averages. 
Mr. Frank Ford, who has not been shooting much for 
several years, broke 89 out of 100 Saturday with a strange 
gun. lYonder what he would do with one that fitted 
him ? 
“The beautiful” has come at last and the club grounds 
are covered with a fine coating, on a snow background 
and a light day shooting is fine, the targets show up 
like they were twice their regular size. 
Several shooting parties will be gotten up during the 
ne.xt six weeks of winter. Scores:
