Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Feb. 22. — Notwithstanding the ex¬ 
tremely cold weather prevailing to-day, eighteen were 
present at the holiday shoot of this club. Thirteen prize 
events were run off during the day, and while no high 
scores were made, because of the high wind and intense 
cold, yet all those present had a jolly good time. 
Event 7 was a “try” at the February cup; but after 
shooting the first half of this event it became evident 
that it would be impossible to beat previously made 
scores of it, and it was discontinued. Cockefair was the 
winner of event 8, this being the fourth leg on the 
Hunter Arms trophy. 
All indications point to a large representation of clubs 
around New York at the championship of Metropolitan 
clubs shoot on April 3. The Meriden Company are at 
work on the four silver cups, and will have them com- 
pleted early in March, 
when 
they will be put 
on 
exhibi- 
tion in New York.

equalling or exceeding that are tied, and must be shot 
off at 25 birds. High score to win unless a contestant 
should make a perfect actual score, which cannot be

Jackson Park Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Feb. 24.—The Washington’s Birthday 
shoot took place, as advertised, and was fairly well at¬ 
tended, eighteen shooters facing the traps during the 
afternoon, and most of them shooting through the pro¬ 
gramme, which was finished early, about 4:15. 
We put an two extra events for those who wanted more 
shooting, and were back in the city by 5:30. 
The weather was rather sharp outside, but comfortable 
WINCHESTER 
ever 
For wild fowl shooting the io gauge Winchester Lever Action 
Shotgun always has been and always will be popular. It is a“game 
getter” and the only io gauge repeater on the market. It is bored 
to handle either black or smokeless powder equally well, and for 
strong, hard and accurate shooting it cannot be beaten. The 
action of the gun is strong and positive and not apt to get out of 
any ordinary handling. In iact, these 
order from exposure or 
guns have stood all kinds of use and abuse for years 
universal satisfaction. If you are going fowling, take

in the club house, where everybody seemed content. 
There would have been a much larger entry but for the 
cold weather, which seemed to get worse after 10 A. M. 
A number of those who intended to take part must 
have got cold feet. They did not show up. But those 
who look after these shoots must always be on hand, no 
matter what the condition of the weather, and get a 
good raking over for their tardiness if it is for only five 
minutes. Quite a large crowd was at the grounds early. 
Our friend Winters, from the Oradell Club, was promptly 
on hand. Mr. Thompson came down from Hillburn, 
N. Y., early, and was on the first car with Drake, of 
Orange, and Parke, of the Montclair Gun Club. The 
old guard—Van Horn, Hopper, Dr. Haggerty, Dutcher, 
Doty brothers, (Aaron and John), and many others, were 
early present. Arthur Crooks, who looks after the club’s 
interest at the grounds, had everything in readiness, in¬ 
cluding a nice warm fire.
