Hudson Gun Club. 
Finb the appended scores of the merchandise shoot of 
the Fludson Gun Club, held April 20. Dave Engel won 
the lOO-bird event, breaking 87 from scratch, but was 
beaten for first prize by liutchings and Hudson. The 
latter having journeyed all the way from Garrison, N. V. 
JIudson received a set of sterling silver spoons for his 
score of 88; Hutchings a cut-glass water pitcher for a 
like score. Dickerman with 86 took a sterling silver 
wine cup. 
The office was in charge of Billy Emmons, who took 
care of all entries and compiled all scores. Carl von 
Lengerke looked after the ammunition. Joe W'hitley 
was on the job early, and had a steaming hot lunch 
ready when the first round of the lOO-bird race was 
started. The traps were in charge of the secretary, and 
in the morning No. 2 set gave a lot of trouble, but after 
they got started they sent the targets out like a blue 
streak. There was not a straight score of 25 recorded 
for the entire day on either set of traps, and remember, 
we had some of the best amateurs around New York 
City trying to do the trick, but did not succeed. The 
trade was represented by Tack Fanning, but Jack always- 
has a hankering for the Hudson’s traps when he wants 
to try a few hard ones, and he has informed the secre¬ 
tary that the Du Pont Company are going to send one 
of their 1912 trophies for the members to compete for. 
The day was ideal and had much to do with the large 
attendance, and we would like to have them out here 
again cn June 2, when the sixth contest for the Frank 
Hall trophy takes place. W’e hold our next club shoot 
on May 5, and every one is welcome to the use of our 
traps on shooting Sundays. W’e start about 9:30 A.M. 
and shoot as long as you want to. W’e also have ar¬ 
ranged a set of traps for beginners, and they can shoot 
to their hearts’ content, arrange angles or elevations to 
suit their taste, and they will always find some one that 
will give them any information that they possess about 
the shooting game. 
Shells are for sale at the grounds, and we serve, gratis, 
a lunch on all shooting Sundays. Scores':

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
