Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey Cjty, N. T., Feb. 25.—There were thirty-four 
gunners that turned out this morning to take part in 
the bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club. The 
weather man was certainly good to us to-day, as the 
brand of weather that was on tap was ideal for trap¬ 
shooting, and no doubt was the reason of the boys 
getting on the job, so as to indulge in their favorite 
pastime. 
Dave Engle showed us all the way this morning, and 
finished with 8(5 per cent., with Carl von Lengerke, J. 
Williams, 'l>illy O’Brien, Billy Emmons and the veterans 
Geo. Piercy and L. Schortey chasing him pretty hard 
for the honor: but Dave managed to scratch out a few 
points ahead of them in the finish, and won high average 
for the day. 
Another interesting event to-dav was the 100-hird 
race between Tom Kellev and “Pop” Whitley. The 
conditions called for Kelley to shoot at 75 and break 
more than Whitley could in ICO targets, and after the 
first string was shot, it was seen that Whitley was out 
of it, Kelley breaking 68 .out of 75, to Whitley’s 51 out 
of 100 . 
There were two fifteen-man team races shot, captained 
by Dave Engle, of the Hudsons, and Dick Young, of 
the .Jersey City Club. Engle was the best guesser, as 
his team won both races; scores, 296 to 2G5, and 299 
tc 2,80 out of .875 shot at. 
Our next shoot will take place on INfarch 10, and we 
extend a hearty welcome to rdl trapshooters that care 
to spend a Sunday morning at the traps. Take the 
Turnpike car from the Pennsylvania Ferry at Jersey 
City, or any point in Newark, and ride to the west side 
of the Hackensack River Bridge, on the Turnpike road, 
then walk north alon.g the dyke to the club house, 
where you can shoot to vour heart’s content. Scores;

Oakbrook Gun Club. 
Oakbrook. Pa., Feb. 24.—A race of 10 live birds was 
shot on the Oakdale Gun Club grounds for D. E. Weg- 
man’s gun. The gun was shot off at ?33 as first prize. 
A total of $69 was raised, thus $36 was left as pot 
money, divided 60 and 40 per cent, $21.60 as second 
prGe and $16 40 as third prize. 
Charles Haas, of Fleetwood, Pa., shot his 10 birds 
straight and received the gun, a new Baker single- 
barrel model. There were six shooters with 9 kills 
who received an equal share of the second money, $21.(50, 
and seven with 8 kills who partook of the $16.40. The 
birds were excellent strong flyers, and several escaped 
the sleepers which heard a dozen or more shots following 
them. 
Wm. Eck was bit on the forehead from a stray shot

See how the Safety-bar (No. 4) when 
pushed back over the L-shaped ends of the Sears (No. 5) completely blocks them, making 
accidental discharge absolutely impossible. Every Davis Hammerless Gun has the Safety 
that “Blocks the Sears”. It is a Safe “Safety”.

fired by one of the outfielders, shooting sleepers. The 
mud in the field was several inches deep, which made 
it very difficult to collect the birds. 
Each shooter was allowed a re-entry. Mr. Haas had 
killed his 10 straight early in the day, which made it 
very interesting, but none could reach the top notch. 
A. A. Fink and A. K. Ludwig, the two chubby ebums 
of Reading, Pa., were on the grounds in the interest 
of the sporting news. 
Secretary E. H. Adams of the Spring Valley Shooting 
Association, announced a live-bird shoot on the grounds

The sboot held on Washington's Birthday, at Staten 
Island, was not well attended on account of the cold 
weather and that 95-mile gale that blew on that day 
gave them cold feet. Only one event was shot, a 100- 
target match for the second leg on the 1912 cup. L. 
Schofield won by breaking his last bird, with 85.
