Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
It was so cold at the Jamaica Bay traps of the Bergen 
Beach Gun Club on the 10th inst., that only five mem¬ 
bers showed up. The number was so small that the 
committee decided to call off the regular sliding distance 
handicap and have only practice shoots. G. Remsen and 
J. Voorhees did the best work. 
George K. Kouwenhoven won the first prize in the 
distance handicap shoot of the Bergen Beach Gun Club 
on the 12th inst. Thirty-seven marksmen took part in the 
contest, which was at 50 targets. The winner had 46 to 
his credit, shooting from the 19yds. mark. J. Gaughan 
on 17yd. mark, took second, and A. F. Suydam, J. F 
Simonson and R. Morgan divided the third price. The

Narine and Field Club. 
The trapshooters of the Marine and Field Club had a 
novel experience yesterday. Gravesend Bay was frozen 
froin Norton s Point to Fort Hamilton, and as far west 
as the mam ship channel. Over the sheet of solid ice, 
dotted here and there with skaters and people walking, 
the Bath Beach organization threw the bUierocks. Al¬ 
though it was bitterly cold the gunners did not seem to 
mind the weather. 
_C. B. Sayre did the best work of the afternoon, win¬ 
ning practicaly every prize of the day. Pie took the 
second leg of the February cup with a total of 97 out of 
a possible 100 targets, and followed the shoot by taking 
the take-home trophy with a full score of 25 targets. Mr. 
Sayre also won two club trophy shoots. One was taken 
only aft^ a shoot-off, in which J. H. Emanuel, Jr., com- 
Petjd. The latter gunner also won a club trophy shoot. 
T 3 - vj excellent form on Lincoln’s 
Birthday. He gained a leg on the February cup with a 
full score of 100 targets. It was the first time in ten 
years that such a total has been made at Bath Beach. 
In addition to the February cup, he also took the Lin¬ 
coln Day cup and a club handicap. E. H. Lott and 
C. B. Ludwig were the other winners of the afternoon.

Jersey Cily Gun Club. 
City, N J., Feb. 10.— Eleven members were 
out at the regular Saturday shoot of the Jersey City Gun 
Glub to-day. It was another zero day, fully as dis- 
agreeable as any we have had since Jan. 1, and as the 
coldest days seem to come on Saturdays, our attendance 
has been very small; but with milder weather the boys 
will be out in force. ■ 
Tuckahoe, N Y., paid us another 
visit to-day and was high gun for the day with an 
average of 64 per cent., and he also won the distance 
handicap event. 
Piercy, who has been laid up for a month with rheu¬ 
matism in his right hand, was out to-day and shot a 
tew, but had to give it up, as the weather was not iust 
the right sort for his trouble. The scores follow

Northern Kentucky Gun Club, 
There was a good attendance at the weekly shoot of 
the club on Feb. 10. The cold, stormy weather of the 
past few weeks has prevented the boys from coming out, 
and they welcomed the rise in temperature, which per¬ 
mitted them to heed the call of the clays and once more 
enjoy their favorite sport. The light was poor, owing 
to the haze which rose from the river, making the tar¬ 
gets hard to see and keeping the scores considerably 
below normal. Hammersmith was out for the first time 
in two or three months, and showed that he had not for¬ 
gotten how to point by breaking over 90 per cent, of his 
targets. Ertel and Ford also did nice work, approach¬ 
ing the 90 per cent, mark very closely. Messrs. \Verner, 
Menze, Kohler, H. Kohler, Weber and Pfeitsticker, all 
of the new club at Mt. Healthy, O., were present, and 
enjoyed the afternoon’s sport, as well as the cordial 
welcome they received from the club members. They 
will come over again, and extended an invitation for the 
Northerns to visit them. Of the visitors, Menze did the 
best work. The game is new to most of them, so that 
the showing they made on strange grounds may be called 
very good. Richards was fooling with a strange gun, a 
frequent happening with him, and his scores show the 
result. Rogers shot only in one event, as it was up to 
him to do the work of scorer and referee. 
Nearly 1,000 targets were trapped during the afternoon. 
The club will hold a shoot at white fliers on Feb. 17, in 
preparation for the shoot on the grounds of the Crystal 
Lake Gun Club at Ryland, Ky., Feb. 22 when the Ohio 
State championship at white fliers will be contested for. 
The sweeps are optional, and are open to all, but only 
residents of Ohio can compete for the title and trophy. 
The next regular shoot of the club will be held on Feb. 
18. A number of the members will attend the shoot at 
Ryland, and also the shoot at the private grounds of 
T. H. Clay, Jr., on Feb. 26, 28 and March 1, when Harry 
Kahler and J. D. Gay will shoot their match at 100 
white fliers per day. This promises to be some match, 
and as both contestants are well known, and have many 
friends in this part of the country, much interest is mani¬ 
fested. They will have a fair f ' ‘ ' 
the best man win.
