Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., May 11. —Seventeen members took 
advantage of the fine weather to-day and came out to 
enjoy a good afternoon’s sport at the Jersey City Gun 
Club. The only cause for trouble was a strong breeze 
from the south, which kept all our scores below 80 per 
cent., with the exception of North, who finished in grand 
form and with an average of 87 per cent, for the day, 
ryhich is going some, compared to the other scores. Bur¬ 
lington was second high with 79 per cent., and Martin 
and Piercy divided third prize, each having 78 per cent. 
Dr. Culver was out for the first time in several months 
and shot all his targets a la Olympic style, so as to get 
plenty of practice before starting for Stockholm in June. 
The scores follow, in strings of 25:

Gadsden Gun Club. 
Gadsden, Ala., May 11.—The Gadsden Gun Club held 
its third shoot of the season yesterday at its grounds at 
Elliott Park. The day was an ideal one, but a variable 
wind made the clay birds jump, with the result that no 
high scores were made. Two new shooters were with 
us—Dr. H. J. Savage and E. M. Stewart. This was 
Dr. Savage’s first shoot at clay pigeons. At first he could 
not get on to them, but along toward the last he was 
breaking them like a veteran. Mr. Stewart shot well in¬ 
deed, tying up with E. C. Little for second place. Mayor 
Bellenger was shooting in his old time form, getting 40 
out of his 50. Mr. J. S. Paden, one of our most en- 
thusiasHc members, was not with us, and we all missed 
him. Dr. Savage is one of the finest quail shots in the 
btate,^ and will no doubt make a fine shot at clay birds. 
Mr. Stewart was shooting a strange gun, and considering 
this fact, he beat everybody. Scores:
