Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey' City, N. J., Feb. 3. —Fourteen shooters were 
out at the regular shoot of the Jersey City Gun Club on 
Feb. 3 and enjoyed a fine afternoon’s sport, as the 
weather was the best we have had since December. 
There was no wind to make the targets act foolish, and 
the day was good and bright. Shannon was high for the 
day with 80 per cent., and Dixon was second with 71 
per cent., almost too far behind to be seen with the 
naked eye. The two weekly prizes contested for were 
won by McLemore and Huggins and Shannon won the 
distance handicap, breaking 21 from the 21yds. mark.

Sunbury-Selinsgrove Gun Club. 
At the regular weekly practice shoot on Feb. 1, the 
shooters made some fine scores. Hartman and Sked 
had a struggle all the way through for high honors, 
Hartman finally winning out bv one target. IVe had 
two new shooters with us—Allison, shooting for the 
first time in years, and Cummings, who shoots very 
rarely. Both showed iheir lack of practice in the first 
couple of events, but afterward got going pretty nicely. 
Snyder, the member of our club that only shoots once 
every four or five months, was there with his usual 21. 
With a little more practice he would make them all 
hustle to keep ahead. Hawley was handicapped by being 
without his own gun. shooting borrowed ones entirely. 
It was too much for 'nim, as he fell away below his 
usual score. The following scores were made, all at 25' 
targets:

Independent Gun Club. 
Mulberry Grove, III., Jan. 31.—In an Independent 
trapshooting event, whicli took place to-day under ex¬ 
tremely severe weather conditions, ten new beginners 
endeavored to take the kinks out of the flying clay sau¬ 
cers, but fell short of making respectable scores, owing 
to the fact that atmospheric conditions were entirely 
too severe for the novice. The grand old game (trap¬ 
shooting) has just recently been introduced in this little 
village, but it has (the same as in other places) found 
nianv supporters. Three members of the newly organized 
Mulberry Grove Gun Club participated in the above- 
named shoot, and succeeded in taking' first prize, which 
was $1 in' cash. Bill 'Peterson copped second, which 
was a handsome silver-mounted pocket knife. E. R. 
Knloe, promoter of the event, was there with the best 
score, getting 17 out of 25, hut he did not enter the 
prize contest. The scores follow:

In the evening following the shoot the election of of¬ 
ficers took place at the National Hotel, for the ensuing 
year. All the old officers were unanimously re-elected, 
after which it was decided to improve and enlarge the 
cluh house and make other necessary changes. It was 
also decided to hold our annual registered tournament 
during the month of May, 1912, at which time new and 
novel features in addition to the Interstate program, 
will be introduced. 
At this juncture, to the surprise of all, one of our 
junior members made a retreat through the rear exit as 
if following a dear track. Exactly one hour later this 
same member shyly returned with a new club member 
and a life partner, in time for the banquet. Congratula¬ 
tions were now the main feature for fully a half hour. 
Following the banquet Uncle Danny favored the club 
with a few selections of his choice solos, which were 
highly appreciated by all present. The menu consisted 
of all the delicacies of the season. Decorations were 
beautiful.
