Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., April 7.—Of the twenty-seven 
shooters that took part in to-day’s program at the regu¬ 
lar bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, there were 
only two that could score better than 75 per cent. Dave 
Engle was high for the day with 79. Doc. Groll was 
the runner up with 75 per cent., and Dr. O’Brien was 
a close third with 73, and the rest of the boys fighting 
to kect) the 70 per cent, mark in sight. 
The morning was a most ideal one, and brought out 
a nice crowd of shooters, and things went along fine 
and smooth for the first few squads, then a gentle breeze 
started, and in less than half an hour we were having 
a gale of wind that played havoc with the flight of the 
targets, and with the shooters also, as it was almost 
impossible to stand still on the shooting platform; in 
fact, it was the strongest wind that we have encountered 
at any of our shoots in our twenty-two years that we 
have been on this site. 
Things looked quite different at the grounds this morn¬ 
ing, as the new platform and trap-stands on the west of 
the club house are about finished and will be in readi¬ 
ness for the merchandise shoot of April 21, on which 
date we expect to take care of at least seventy-five 
shooters. On this set ot traps we are arranging to have 
all beginners at the game shoot; they can adjust the 
springs to suit their speed and the angles to suit their 
taste, and we will give them all the information that 
we possess, so as to try and make trapshots out of them. 
The Frank Hall trophy shoot, to be held on the 
Hudson grounds on June 2, will be another big event, 
open to all amateurs of the State, and if you are think¬ 
ing about competing for it, here is a chance to get 
acquainted with our grounds and traps at our mer¬ 
chandise shoot on April 21. 
Shells will be for sale at the grounds. We will serve 
a lunch gratis to all hands present; so come out and 
see us and bring your gun along with you, and if you 
don’t enjoy yourself, don’t blame us, for I assure you 
that we will do our part to make the visit a pleasant 
one, and the Turnpike car from the Pennsylvania R. R. 
Ferry at Jersey City, or at any transfer point in 
Newark will leave you off at the Hackensack Rivdr 
bridge, so that you can have a refreshing walk along 
the river bank to the club house.

scored 95 out of 100. Tomlinson made a nice run, getting 
15 and 10 straight in the second and third events and 
19 out of 20 in the fourth. He broke 46 out of 50 in the 
trophy events, but Childs came along with a liberal 
handicap and won out for the trophy on corrected score.
