TRAP] NOTES. 
Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., May 19.—Twenty-one members 
took part in the bi-monthly shoot, held here to-day. 
Dr. Groll, with his 32in. gaspipe, was the high man, 
snuffing out 89 targets out of the first 100 shot at; 
Durkee with 80 and Von Lengerke with 79 being the 
nearest ones to him. 
The morning was warm and sultry, but along toward 
12 o’clock a stiff wind sprung up, wdiich made the targets 
dip and duck in all shapes and angles, which made shoot¬ 
ing very difficult and high scores at a premium. 
After most of the shooters had left the grounds, several 
of the “stay lates” arranged some sweepstake shooting. 
Everybody got in the game and shot until the sun started 
to sink in the west, wdien they packed their guns in 
their cases, and, like the Arabs, they silently went away 
home to think of the very pleasant day they had spent 
at the grandest of all outdoor sports. Scores:
