Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., March 24. —There were only three 
squads hrave enough to face the cold, nasty rain to¬ 
day and come out to the grounds for a little practice at 
the traps. Bill Hassenger, who came over from Newark, 
was the main squeeze, being high gun with 90 per cent.; 
Dave Engle was the runner-up with 85 per cent. 
There was a match between Billy O’Brien and Kid 
Williams, at 100 targets, O’Brien allowing Williams a 
handicap of 10 birds, but Billy was the man to get the 
“mit,” he losing out by 5 birds. 
_ Kurzell challenged Beyersdoft to shoot at 12 pairs. 
Scores: Kurzell 5, Ben 12 —good shots, yes? Joe Whit¬ 
ley has positively refused to shoot any more matches 
with Tom Kelly. He had to admit that Kel was a shade 
too strong for him to attempt to beat; but he says that 
he will take a chance at 50 birds with Kurzell. 
On April 7 we hold our next club shoot; on April 21, 
our annual merchandise event takes place, open to all 
amateurs, and on June ?, the sixth contest for the Frank 
Hall trophy, open to all amateurs of the State of New 
Jersey, will be shot off on the Hudson Gun Club 
grounds. So come out next Sunday and get acquainted 
with us. Everybody is welcome here. 'Take Turnpike 
car at Pennsylvania Ferry at Jersey City, or any transfer 
point in Newark, ride to the Plackensack River bridge, 
get off on the west side and walk north to the D., L. & 
W. tracks, where yen

Secretary. 
Hartford Gun Club. 
The Hartford Gun Club announces Saturday, July 27, 
as the date of its tournament this summer, particulars 
of which will appear later. This club is the good old 
Colt Gun Club, renamed and reorganized, and is now in 
a flourishing condition, with an active membership of 
over seventy—“more a-comin’.’’ 
The present officers are: President, L. H. Bradley; 
A’ice-President, R. N. Clark; Secretary, R. D. Stevens; 
'I'reasurer, L. R. Libby; Field Captain, H. F. Nichols. 
The executive committee consists of the president (ex¬ 
official), S. O. Purinton and W. R. Newsome. 
The club suffered an irreparable loss in the untimely 
death of its late treasurer, John M. Root, who was killed 
by being thrown from an automobile, and all sportsmen 
and trapshooters hereabouts share in our sorrow. His 
manly and genial ways will never be forgotten. 
The season’s program calls for fortnightly shoots, some 
special events and the tournament mentioned. 
Our latch-string is always out, and visiting shooters are 
heartily welcome. More anon.

Don’t Let ’Em Get Your Goat. 
There is a sure enough laugh in the program of 
Highland Amateur Shooting Association at Edge Hill, 
Pa. This is it: 
Event No. 2—The “John P. Burn Memorial Challenge 
Trophy” will be shot for as follows: The club will pur¬ 
chase a number of silver medals with a goat represented 
thereon. Members may purchase medals whenever they 
desire at the rate of 65 cents a piece. A member may 
challenge any other member to shoot for his goat 
(medal). The challenge need not necessarily be ac¬ 
cepted. If more than one member challenge one other 
member, the highest man in event No. 1 may have the 
privilege of shooting the challenged party. Winning 
the goat of a man in one’s own class entitles the winner 
to one point; if won from a class above, two points; 
if from a class below, one-half point. At the end of the 
season, the member having the most points to receive 
the trophy. No person to win more than three medals 
from any one other member. 
The entire season’s program shows intelligence in its 
get up. Read this: 
“The object of this program is to give all shooters an 
opportunity to participate in all the club events without 
the heavy expense necessary in the usual 100-target club 
events of the past. Our 1912 program will cost about 
$2.50, including car fare, ammunition and entrance._ _^A 
100-target program of the past has cost from $4 to $5.” 
Pillow Gun Club. 
Pillow, Pa., March 23.—Owing to the high water, the 
Pillow Gun Club could not participate in their regular¬ 
weekly shoot on March 16. Plowever, on Saturday, the 
23d, the water receded sufficiently to allow a friendly 
shoot, and all the old members were on hand with what 
seemed the spring shooting fever in its worst stage. 
Many visitors were present watching the targets re¬ 
duced to dust. Scores:
