[June 26, 1909. 
Sunbury—Seiinsgrove Gun Club. 
The dedication “registered” shoot of the Simbury- 
Selinsgrove Gun Club was favored with an ideal day 
and a large crowd of visitors who were greatly interested 
in watching the various squads as they followed one 
another at the traps. Many ladies viewed the contest 
from the balcony of the new club house, which is situ¬ 
ated between the two traps. The shooting started 
promptly at the time set, and with but few delays 
caused by the traps, the crack of the guns was kept up 
until the programme was finished. 
J. Mowell Hawkins, of Baltimore, the genial trade 
representative, was high gun for the day, with 195 out 
of 200, with Sim Glover following him closely with 
194 breaks. 
High average among the amateurs was won by \Vm. 
Miller, of Reading, who shot a consistant score, finish¬ 
ing with 187 dead birds, “Curtis,” of Shamokin, with 
185. Three men tied for third place with 184—Kase- 
man of Shamokin, Hess of Nanticoke and Spicer of 
Danville. Siegfried of Seiinsgrove was fourth, with 
182. Up to the last two events it was any man’s race. 
The four-man team race created the great interest of 
the day and was hotly contested from the start, Reading 
winning out by one bird from the Sunbury-Selinsgrove 
No. 2 team, which team entered at the last moment just 
to help add interest to the race. The Sunbury-Selins¬ 
grove No. 1 team, before the race, was considered to 
have a walkover; but the unexpected often happns and 
the team from Reading proved the victors. Forty-seven 
shooters faced the traps, thirty-eight shooting through 
the programme. 
Many of the new menjbers who were shooting in 
competition for the first time, made very creditable 
scores, and with the interest they are all taking in the 
new club, it is bound to be a success. 
We were more than pleased that so many clubs were 
represented on the firing line. Many of the visitors 
came quite a distance. From the success of this first 
shoot, and as every one seemed pleased with our pro¬ 
gramme, we hope to see them with us again in August. 
Scores in team shoot for silver loving cup:

Quite a house warming for a country club. Every 
one was satisfied with the programme; 8,960 targets gives 
the new grounds a pretty good baptism. 
That light-haired boy from Reading proved to be the 
dark horse in the team shoot—25 straight did the trick. 
Dr. Schoffstall is a new man at the traps, and 177 
out of 200, beside helping in the office, looks as if our 
old shooters will have to hustle to keep to the front. 
That new man. Huff, has all the marks of a crackerjack. 
Who was it said they did not like frogs? That frog 
supper at Leffler’s Hotel was where they all made 
straights. 
The Sunbury-Selinsgrove No. 1 team will have to 
change their number or make better scores. 
We were all glad to see our friend^ the professional 
squad. With Hawkins, Sked, Apgar, Lewis and Glover 
to set the pace, the scores were bound to run high. 
If Leffler had made that trip home before he started 
in the first event instead of the seventh, he would have 
come near taking high average. What did you get, 
George, that made them look so big? 
That man Siegfried kept the squads moving. A great 
deal of the success of the shoot is due him for having 
the grounds ready in such a short time. 
Dave Herrold said that at Reading they cut holes in 
the woods to make a place to shoot, and when they 
get out in the open they don’t know how to miss ’em. 
Dave ought to know, he often goes to Reading. 
From the many favorable remarks overheard, we begin 
to think we have a swell shooting grounds. One lady 
visitor thought we had quite a cityfied place. We surely 
ought to feel proud. 
The boys are starting right in, getting ready for our 
annual tournament, Aug. 5 and 6. Everything points 
to a big merchandise list of prizes, and the programme 
committee claim they have a programme that will at¬ 
tract the average shooter and also give the high guns 
good winnings. Programmes will be out in plenty time, 
and to automobile parties or any one that wishes to 
visit one of the finest parks in central Pennsylvania, we 
extend a cordial invitation to come along the first week 
in August and help us roll up a good score.'

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, June 20. —Appended find scores of the 
regular bi-monthly club shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, 
of Jersey City, N. J. The day was bright and pleasant 
for trap shooting, and while the wind at times blew 
across the traps at a pretty lively clip, which caused 
the targets to duck, soar and take all kinds of irregular 
flights, the shooters managed to pull out some very 
good scores, two straights being recorded for the day. 
J. H. Williams was high gun for the day with 88 
per cent., while A. Emmons was the runner-up, scoring 
87 per cent. 
Events 3 and 4 was the Dupont trophy handicap, and 
Williams, Raymond, Dr. Story, Putney and Kelley re¬ 
turned straight scores for the same, which makes this 
race a very interesting one, as none of the contestants 
have a lead of three targets over any of the- thirty 
members that have competed for it. 
Our next shoot will be held on our regular date, July 
4. Bring your “pot sticks” along and come out and 
celebrate. W e have the stuff that makes the noise for 
sale on the grounds, and the targets are yours if you 
can break them. 
Everybody is welcome at the Hudson’s grounds at all 
times. Take the Turnpike car to the Hackensack 
Bridge, turn to the north, and go where the crowd goes 
to shoot clay pigeons.

Orleans Gun Club. 
New Orleans, La.—The preliminary tournament of the 
Orleans Gun and Rod Club was held Sunday, June 13, at 
North Shore, on the Queen and Crescent road and Lake 
Ponchartrain. The prize was a Batavia gun, and was won 
by Rene Clerc. There were 50 targets, and there were 
three ties. Clerc, with a handicap of 10 birds in his 
favor, broke 18 out of a possible 25, making his total 22. 
Mr. Clerc is from New Orleans. He is able to use 
only one arm, and for this reason was given a handicap 
of 20 birds over the crack shots. 'I'he shooting contest 
will continue several days. 
Captain Coyle, of Toras, La., is likely to be heard 
from. Harold Money, of New Haven, Conn., considered 
to be one of the best professional shots in the country, 
also seemed to be holding something in reserve, but 
may come to the front later. F. M. Faurote, of Dallas, 
Tex., is another professional of note. Other professionals 
in attendance at the shoot are: Thomas Goodbrad, of 
Mobile, Ala.; John Riley and Jack Woods, of this city; 
L. T. Spinks, of Atlanta, and Richard Jackson, of 
Mexia, Tex. 
The members of the Queen and Crescent Club who 
took part in the North Shore handicap Sunday v/ere: 
Fred L. Joubert, H. P. Magruder, L. Maspero, Chas. 
J. Hardy, Andrew Leveque, Adolph D’Aquin,. George 
Maspero, Jules Wogan, Bob Marion, T. J. Salvant and 
H. L. Loomis. 
Those who held up the honors for the Queen and 
Crescent Club were: George Faure, president of the 
organization; Rene Clerc, the winner; Guy Stone, Louis 
Gagnet, Eugene Forstall, R. G. Mendes, Paul Gonzales 
and Lafont. 
Boston and Vicinity. 
Ralph Worthen was high gun at the holiday shoot 
of the Melrose Highlands Gun Club, June 17, with a 
handicap of 19. A. B. Leet, with a handicap of 20, won 
the second. G. R. Steele made the best scratch score. 
Ranch 101, the Miller Bros. Wild West Show, attracted 
the boys last week during its run here, and while some 
thought the horsemanship was the best ever, others 
thought the shooting of the Tantlingers was worthy of 
mention. The announcement regarding the ammunition 
used and the verbal testimonials given must have been 
highly amusing, if we got the story right. 
We learn with regret that a popular Paleface was 
pinched on the return automobile trip from Reading 
last Saturday. These fast spins on the Boulevard are 
expensive sometimes. 
Billy Hill, of the U. M. C. Co., is in high glee over 
the new shooter at his home. The newcomer is just 
about the weight of his daddy’s trap gun. 
The gala appearance of the Wellington grounds, June 
17, bore considerable resemblance to a country club’s 
fild day, through the number of autos drawn up and 
the various settees brightened by the summer costumes 
of the many ladies present. Everbody had a fine time, 
the guests’ match being particularly interesting, through 
the tie shoot-off. Bobby Burnes won out for Mrs. Dill, 
with Roy Hodsdon a close second for Miss Large. 
Mrs. Dill was awarded the swell card receiver, and Miss 
Large accepted the American Beauty rose as runner-up. 
J. E. Lynch won the offhand match for the Creedmoor 
cup, June 19, at the Massachusetts Rifle Association. 
His score of 30 shots at standard American target totaled 
249; A. Niedner, second, 242. F. Da'niels scored 46 in 
the 1000yd. match. J. E. Williams won the military 
medal match. E. B. Hawkes was first in the military 
practice match. 
Programmes for the Marblehead Gun Club’s July 4th 
registered shoot are out, and it looks like a good at¬ 
tendance. The eastern championship is the main squeeze 
and ought to furnish a right smart shooting match. 
Buff Smith signalized his return to town by challeng¬ 
ing W. F. Clarke to A 100-target match on the Paleface 
grounds early this week. A strange gun queered Clarke’s 
first 50, but he won out on 84 to Buff’s 82. A subse¬ 
quent 50-target event went the same way, and Clarke’s 
total on his last lOO was 93. 
The second match between the Eastern Protective As¬ 
sociation and the Lawrence Pish and Game Association 
provoked some good scores at North Reading last 
Saturday. Teams were composed of five shooters who 
shot at 75 targets each, with the result that the Eastern 
Protective Association won the second time on the total 
of 339 to Lawrence’s 311. Charlie Marden was in 
splendid form and broke 122 out of 125. On the pro¬ 
gramme 100, Marden led with 97, G. H. Hassam 94, 
Dickey 93, Brinley 93, Clark 92, Sibley 90, Todd 90, 
Smith 89, Hollis 88, Wheeler 87, Hall 86, Burnes 82, 
McDonald 81, Bradbury 80, Bancroft 78, Dr. Russell 77, 
Ereeman 76, Cole 64. 
At the Whitman shoot, June 19, C. P. Worthing, of 
Brockton, was high gun with 114 out of 125, and won 
the prize. F. Cavicchi and E. Cavicchi each broke 
109, with Davidson in third position with 99. 
Only a few members turned out to the June 17 Marble¬ 
head shoot. Pred Caswell was high with 45 out pf 50, 
with other scores as follows; Chapman 41, Courtis 40, 
Stacey 39, Dennis 38, Lyons 38, McHugh 34, Sweet 32, 
Goodwin 26. 
H&ddonfield—Atlantic City. 
FEaddonfield, N. j., June 15.—A special telegraphic 
shooting match between the Atlantic City Gun Club and 
the Haddonfield Gun Club was held recently—a new and 
novel method of running shooting matches. As soon 
as the contest is finished the totals of the ten high scores 
is telegraphed to the opposing team. The entire club is 
entitled to shoot. The ten high scores to count. 
The Atlantic Club shot on its regular shooting day, 
Friday afternoon, and the Haddonfield Club Saturday 
afternoon. The ten high men of the Haddonfield Gun 
Club broke a total of 449 out of 500 targets, an average 
of 89.8 per cent. The ten high men of the Atlantic City 
Gun Club broke a total of 441 out of 500 targets, an 
average of 88.2 per cent. 
Haddonfield gunners won a close and hotly contested 
match by 8 targets. The weather conditions were all 
that could be desired on both days. The wind was light, 
the atmosphere hazy—ideal weather to make big scores. 
Each team shot splendidly over their own traps, no 
gunner on either team scoring lower than 42 targets. 
Captain Holloway, of the Haddonfield Gun Club, rep¬ 
resented his club on the Atlantic City grounds. The 
Atlantic City Gun Club declined to send a representa¬ 
tive to Haddonfield on the day of the shoot, placing im¬ 
plicit confidence in the managerial of the Haddons to 
report the correct scores. We thank them for their op¬ 
timistic good faith in our integrity. As sportsmen hold¬ 
ing to high ideals they excel us. And yet we preferred 
that they had a representative present. We think it 
would have been more satisfactory to both clubs. 
The next match between the two clubs will be on 
July 9 and 10, the Atlantic City Club shooting on the 
9th and the Haddonfield Club on the 10th. Messrs.
