Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Bergen Beach, L. I.—The final contest for the John 
H. Hendrickson trophies and club prizes took place on 
Tuesday, May 11, at the club grounds. Avenue N and 
East Seventy-first street, Flatlands, Brooklyn. As usual, 
our club day was just about as difficult a day to rnake 
good scores as all tht second Tuesdays of the previous 
four months had been. A gentle zephyr of thirty to forty 
miles per hour blew from left to right, from the south¬ 
west across the traps. Mr. Harry Bergen, our president, 
had both the batteries of expert traps in beautiful order, 
as usual, though the No. 2 set had to be lowered some¬ 
what, as some of the targets that were missed from this 
set, after traveling a few hundred yards, fell between 
the squad at the club traps and the trap house, and a 
few even came back over the heads of the squad back 
to the club house. 
The club house platform, generally filled with on¬ 
lookers, was quite deserted, though it was not a cold 
wind, but very uncomfortable. 
Although practice targets were shot at from the adver¬ 
tised hour of opening the shoot, 11 a. m., the contestants 
straggled in up to late in the afternoon, probably waiting 
and watching for the wind to moderate: but Old Boreas 
had the bit between his teeth, and there was nary a 
let up. 
The conditions, allowing a contestant the total of three 
best scores of five shoots would seem that a high total 
must result from the efforts of the many marksmen of 
more than average ability competing. Our Eastern cham¬ 
pion, Mr. Geo. K. Kouwenhoven, captured the Hendrick¬ 
son gold fob in Class A with 127 out of 150. Messrs. 
Palmer and G. S. K. Remsen were next with 125, the 
former resigning his claim to the club’s silver fob, allow¬ 
ing Schorty to take the bronze fob with 122. The other 
Class A totals were: H. D. Bergen 114, D. T. Leahy 112, 
John H. Hendrickson 106, though our John did not try 
very hard, having donated the first prize. 
The averages of all the shooters were as follows: 
Kouwenhoven, 78 per cent., from 19yds.; L. W. Palmer, 
82 per cent., from 18yds.; Remsen, 82 per cent, from 
18yds.; Schortemeier, 78 per cent, from 18yds.; Bergen, 
70 per cent, from 18yds., and J. H. Hendrickson, 70 per 
cent., from 19yds. Messrs. \Vm. Simonson and Piercy 
did not qualify. 
In Class B, all at 17yds., it was a pretty race, Mr. W. C. 
Damron with 123 winning first, his average of all the 
contests being 80 per cent. Mr. John G. Ropes’ J22 
took second; his average of all the shoots being neany 
71 per cent. Mr. J. A. Henderson captured the bronze 
fob with 120, his average of total scores being a shade 
less than that of Mr. Ropes. Mr. John Voorhees came 
ne.xt with 108, followed by Howard Voorhees with 106 
and C^t. Dreyer with 104. Messrs. Booth, H. T. Lee, 
E. C. Gardner, R. L. Jacobus, G. G. Stephenson and T. 
J. O’Donohue not qualifying. 
In Class C, F. Erhart at 16yds., topped all the rest 
of the club with 128 for the gold fob, his average of five 
contests being nearly 80 per cent. Mr. John Wellbrock 
took second with 121; total average 80 per cent. Mr. 
G. Felix took the bronze fob with 120; total average, 79 
per cent., followed in order by Mr. Robert Morgan with 
108; Messrs. Al. Seymour, A. E. Hendrickson and Henry 
Montanus with 107 each; Russ Metz with 104, Dr. Moeller 
and Mr. Charles Schreyvogel with 100 each; P. J. May, 
John Kroeger and C. H. Pulis with 98 each; Dr. Weis- 
cotten 80, and Thomas Short with 75. Messrs. L. H Har¬ 
rison, J. H. Williams, L. A. Schofield, Sam Short, Henry

Manhatta. 
Nouniain View Gun Club. 
Troy, N. Y., May 15.—Fine weather prevailed to-day. 
The fifteen marksmen who faced the traps had a very 
enjoyable afternoon’s sport. 
Anderson won high gun honors, breaking 91 out of 100. 
Mr. Green, from Amsterdam, was second, he scoring 89 
out of 100. Betts won the weekly leg on the Hunter 
Arms Co. trophy, scoring 46 out of 50. He had a handi¬ 
cap of 5 added targets, which gave him a full total of 
60; Milliman was second with 49 to his credit. 
Griggs, a new man, shot for the first time to-day; he 
broke 58 out of 75. With a little practice he will become 
a good marksman. 
Some of the boys tried their hand at doubles. Roberts 
was high, scoring 16 out of 12 pairs shot at. 
Messrs. Warnock, Green, Barnes and Kline, from 
Amsterdam, and Mr. F. Lincoln Hutchins, from Albany, 
were guests of the club to-day. 
The Du Pont Powder Co. trophy (Joe. Comming) has 
been received. The contest for this trophy will com¬ 
mence on the first Saturday in June, and the handieap- 
ping will be governed by the Dupont system of added 
targets. 
The beautiful cup donated by Mr. C. A. Lockwood, of 
Jamaica, L. I., will also be shot for during the month 
of June. This contest will be a' handicap, with added 
targets. The scores follow:

Tuckahoe Gun Club. 
Boafon and Vicinity. 
The recent gift of Dr. John C. Phillips to the Museum 
of Natural History is sure to attract the attention of 
Boston sportsmen. The two immense cases of mounted 
shore birds, numbering thirty different species, and 
shown amid natural surroundings, is worth anybody’s 
inspection, for the work is beautifully done. The birds 
were bagged during a six weeks’ hunt at Ipswich, Mass., 
and the shore and slough peculiar to this locality are 
imitated perfectly in the exhibit. 
Mr. F. E. Wilkin, of the U. M. C. Co., was a visitor 
last week, full of enthusiasm for the coming Syracuse and 
Buffalo shoots. 
A Paleface party is being made up for the Portland 
one-day registered tournament, and judging from the 
whole-souled invitations extended by the Portland Gun 
Club, everybody who accepts will have the time of their 
lives. 
The Harvard Shooting Club recently elected officers as 
follows: J. R. Gilman, President; B. M. Higginson, 
Captain; J. Heard, Jr., Treasurer; C. S. Lewis, Secre¬ 
tary. Harvard defeated Andover on May 8 by 42 targets 
in a five-man team race. The college season is about 
closed, but the outlook for 1910 is particularly bright, with 
some veritable comers then eligible from this year’s 
freshman class. 
Buffalo Smith was a smiling recipient of congratulations 
at Wellington over his crackerjack bowling total of 656 
two nights previous on city alleys. 
Bobby Burnes’ score of 88 in the furious gale of May 
12 on the unprotected Paleface grounds, was a nice per- 
formanee, and Frost’s 87 scarcely less noteworthy. The 
sarne day it took 100 targets to decide the Curtis tie, 
which Tom Horrigan finally won. 
The New England Kennel Club closed the 1909 season 
with its annual championship shoot last Saturday on the 
Braintree grounds. "The contest was at 100 targets, two 
barrels, known traps, unknown angles. W. O. Gay won 
the first prize, and E. H. Eldredge second. Mr. R. H. 
Morgan made the best actual score, which adds his 
name to others on the championship shield at the club 
house. W. O. Gay won the last shoot for the season 
cup, making the antique piece of pewter his personal 
property for the greatest number of wins, five, during 
the year. 
Only half a dozen members put in an appearance at the 
B. A. A. bunch. Riverside, Mass., last Saturday, and 
A. Knight with a handicap of 24 won the weekly con¬ 
test. Roy Faye wa9' second with 91 actual breaks and a 
handicap of 2; S. A. Ellis third, 88; F. Whitney fourth, 
87. 
The Phillips-Andover boys defeated the Melrose High¬ 
lands Gun Club on the latter’s grounds. May 15, 165 
to 147. G. R. Steele, of the Melrose Club, made the best 
score, 44, and his team mate, W. F. Clarke, was a close 
second with 42. R. A. Keeline, with 39, was high gun 
for the visitors. 
Last Saturday Geo. Hassam held the first of two shoots 
for a Sauer gun at Wellington, and owing to nu.mer- 
ous attractions in the athletic world the attendance was 
rather light. The second shoot comes June 26. Under 
the added target handicap, everybody stands a good show 
of getting in the tie, and that means a dandy shoot-off. 
Tom Howe, Hassam, Todd, Bryant, Marden and Kirk¬ 
wood all qualified at this first shoot on scores of 50 or 
better, including handicaps. 
May 15.—The Tuckahoe, N. Y., Gun Club was favored 
by perfect weather conditions for its shoot on Saturday. 
Eleven members spent a very enjoyable afternoon with 
the bluerocks. The results of the handicap events. Nos. 
4, 5 and 7, remain in doubt, owing to the failure of the 
handicap committee to revise the handicap list. No. 3 
was at 5 pairs, and No. 6, gun below the elbow. 
The next shoot will be the
