Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Sept. 13. —Good weather greeted 
the shooters that attended the bi-monthly shoot of the 
Hudson Gun Club, at their grounds to-day. A clear 
sk .y was presented in the morning, while toward the 
middle of the day the clouds gathered rather low, shut 
ting out the sun and making it an ideal day for trap 
shooting. 
Scores Y / ^ re n0 * a . s high as some of the participants 
had hoped for, and it was rather humorous to listen to 
some of the reasons given by many of the men how 
it happened and why their scores were not all straight 
ones. 
Messrs. Smith, Raymond and Paulson journeyed all 
the way from Yonkers with their friend Dr. O’Brien, 
who has just returned from his vacation, to shoot a 
match at 100 targets, which was shot off in events 1, 
2, o ami 4. After allowing them all liberal handicaps, 
the Doctor returned a winner, with a good wad of their 
long green and a good laugh on all three of them, as 
they were sure that he did not have a chance to win, 
as the gun that he was using had no sight on after the 
second round, some one taking it off and returning it 
to the Doctor after the match.

'Rifle 'Range and Gdllery. 
Providence (R. I.) Revolver Club. 
Providence, R. I.—Labor Day has come to be the day 
for an annual trip to the Redwood Farm range of Mr. 
Bradford Norman, at Portsmouth. In past years the 
fates have played against us and a deluge has usually 
descended before the day was over, so that this year’s 
plans were .made with trepidation, each one burning his 
best joss sticks and beating his tom-toms before his own 
little shrine in an effort to please the gods of good 
shooting weather. 
It all told, for a more beautiful Labor Day never 
dawned upon our events, and with happy hearts and 
guns slung away we went to a day’s sport under ideal 
conditions. 
These trips to Mr. Norman’s farm are always great 
events with us, and every one enjoys themselves thor¬ 
oughly. We did so on this occasion, only we were sorry 
to see some of the old regulars missing. There were 
the twins (A. B. Coulter and A. C. Hurlburt), both of 
whom have always been with us on our former trips. 
A. C. is too busy pushing business for the Colt people, 
while A. B. is up in Vermont somewhere, looking out 
for business. Then there was Mr. Powell. He, too, is 
away, up in his camp in Canada. But nevertheless we 
missed them all keenly. 
Scores were shot on the basis of the National Marks¬ 
men’s Reserve qualifications, and though a stiff wind 
made off-hand shooting hard to conquer, good scores 
were made at the longer distances. The old war horse, 
Billy Almy, had the highest single string of 25 at 
30yds., while Ed. Parkhurst led the bunch in the total 
for the three distances with a 60, and old reliable Gus 
Joslin a close second with 58.

“Gentlemen: * * * The above style of footwear I 
introduced here in my Sporting Club, ‘The Tahawus 
Club,’ and it has become very popular. * * * I have 
worn mine constantly for the past two months and am 
pleased to say I never owned so perfect a boot for this 
rough and woody country. For use in the light skiffs 
of this section they are unequaled. Yours truly,
