Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 17.—Herewith are the scores 
of the regular club shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, held 
tq-day, with fourteen shooters in attendance. The con¬ 
ditions for shooting to-day were the worst that we have 
had this winter, it being rainy, with a cold and stiff 
northeast wind blowing in the face of the shooters, and 
the targets take all kinds of irregular flights, 
wmch accounts for the poor score sheets. 
Event 3 was the club monthly prize shoot, and was 
®h°t from the 16yd. mark, while events 1, 2 and 4 were 
shot from the club house door, about 24yds., the shooters 
refusing to stand on the platform, as the rain came 
down in torrents all morning. 
After the shoot a social session was held in the club 
house, and everybody present had a good time. 
At the annual meeting, held on Jan. 8, the following 
officers were elected: President, Jos. H. Whitley; Vice- 
President, Geo. W. Brewer; Treasurer, E. G. Heritage; 
Financial Secretary, T. H. Kelley; Recording Secretary, 
A. W. Hughes; Sergt.-at-Arms, Wm. 0_’Brien; Shooting 
Captain, C. A. Banta; Executive Boardj L. H. Schorte- 
meier. Chairman; J. W. Hetherington; C. A. Banta, 
H. L. Brown, A. W. Hughes.

is invited to come and shoot along.

Philadelphia, Jan. 16.—The severe weather made dif¬ 
ficult shooting conditions. There was a high wind blow¬ 
ing across the traps, distinctly opposed to the interests 
of such contestants as shot in slow time. Three tied on 
a full score, while there were four who tied on 9 for 
second, and six scored 8, a very good showing under 
the circumstances. Scores follow:

Hercules Gun Club. 
Temple, Pa., Jan. 18.—The Hercules Gun Club, of 
Temple, Pa. (a suburb of Reading, Pa.), will hold a 
target tournament on Saturday, Jan. 30, on their grounds, 
Cotopaxi Swamp. Programme consists of 150 targets; 
entrance $10. Targets will be thrown about 45yds. from 
magautraps at one cent each. Money divided, percentage 
system. Shoot starts promptly at one o’clock. 
The trade representatives, Messrs. O. S. Sked, of 
Wilkesbarre, Pa.; Mr. Lloyd R. Lewis, of Atglen, Pa., 
and very likely Mr. H. Lynn Worthington, of Rising 
Sun, Md., will give exhibition shooting at this tourna¬ 
ment. Mr. Lewis will have charge of the office. All 
sportsmen are cordially invited to attend this tournament. 
A. K. Ludwig, secretary, attended a close caucus 
meeting at Harrisburg, where Mr. Philip S. Kift, captain 
of the Lock Haven Gun Club, made some interesting 
remarks pertaining to tournaments, trapshooting and 
guns. Mr. B. F. Snyder, secretary of the Hagerstown, 
Md., Gun Club, followed, but objected to the extremely 
long stock of Mr. Kift’s gun, which he says is 15 
inches. Mr. Schrack now butted in with a few ex¬ 
ceptions, so did Messrs. McFadden, Ludwig and Cro- 
man. Mr. Horace Lutz now stated that some time 
should be devoted to the fish question to give him some 
honor; so casting, trout fishing and trolling was also 
discussed among the present speakers. Mr. Ludwig, 
also a fish warden, stated that he had filed thirty appli¬ 
cations with the State Department to stock the different 
streams with fry fish this season. 
Mr. B. F. Snyder extended a cordial invitation to the 
members to attend the tournament to be held in tne 
near future at Hagerstown, Md.
