Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City N. J., Dec. 6 .—The Hudson Gun Club 
regular bi-monthly snoot, held to-day at the grounds, on 
the banks of the Hackensack River, had results as 
follows: 
The day was cold and disagreeable, with a stiff wind 
that made Ihe targets dip and cut up all kinds of capers, 
making it very difficult for high scores. 
The irade was represented by Messrs. R. Schoverling, 
C. Banta and H. L. Brown, whose average for the day 
was 94 per cent. 
Event No. 4 was the Western Cartridge Co.’s trophy 
shoot, end it resuited in it being a dead heat between 
Schorty and Putney, each breaking 22 and scoring 6 
points each. 
Jack Williams, with a smile a block long, appeared 
to-day with a 20 -bore to show us how to grind them up, 
but something must have been the matter, for after the 
second round .Jack offered the gun for sale cheap. He 
says that he will stick to his old reliable 12 -bore hereafter. 
After an absence of almost a year, Mr. Brewer and Mr. 
Gillie showed up on the grounds to shoot a match for a 
suitable purse. Mr. Brewer was returned a winner, and 
a return match is looked for in the near future 
The next shoot of the club will be held on Dec. 20, 
and visitors are always welcome.

New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Island, N. Y., Dec. 5.—A large number of 
the boys turned out to-day for our regular weekly shoot, 
twenty-one facing the traps. A strong following wind 
caused the bluerocks to duck in the most bewildering 
fashion, and made the shooting very difficult. Six events 
were run off as follows: 
_ Event 1, practice: Grinnell, Greiff and Pelham were 
high guns. 
Event 2 , December cup: Schauffler, Greiff and M V 
Lenane tied with full scores, Schauffler winning on 
shoot-off. & 
Event 3, Sauer gun: Also won by Schauffler after tie 
with Grinnell and Robinson. 
Event 4, Stevens gun: Won by McCahill after tie with 
Schauffler. Shoot-off: McCahill 25, Schauffler 23 
• E u Ve ?r t £’ tfophy shoot: Won by Dr. De Wolf after tie 
with McCahill. Shoot-off: De Wolf 25, McCahill 20 
Entnes are coming in fast for our big shoot on Dec. 
11 and 18, and a record attendance is assured.

Dr. O. T. Fay, Sec’y. 
Holland Gun Club. 
Batayia, N. Y., Nov. 30.—We have not furnished you 
with club scores since our winter season began, as we 
have taken in several members who are new shooters and 
we refrain from publishing their low scores. Till April 
1st we will shoot second and fourth Thursdays at 1 P. M., 
excepting the shoot falling on Dec. 24, which will be 
run off Christmas day at 9 A. M. 
Thanksgiving Day, eighteen shooters faced the traps, 
and in the regular programme Tomlinson shot high gun, 
45 out of 50—five 9s. In a special sweepstake event, 25 
targets, Walls was first with 21, Tomlinson second, 20. 
Trophy points to date: Class A—Tomlinson 2 points, 
Gardiner and Watson one each. Class B—Farwell, 
Brumber and Cheeseman, one point each. 
For some years we have kept up interest by having 
trophies to shoot for, and while our contests have always 
been quite close, it is quite difficult to figure out a 
handicap, so some one or two shooters won’t get way 
the best of it, and our handicapping for our winter 
season may be of interest to your readers. We will shoot 
for our season twice a month, Oct. 22 to April 1, in¬ 
clusive, twelve shoots. Our regular programme is five 
events of 10 targets each, shooting short events, as 
sometimes the extreme cold would make it very dis¬ 
agreeable to shoot in strings of 25. We have divided 
the shooters into two classes, A and B, and handicap 
by distance—Class A from 14 to 20yds.; Class B from 12 
to 18yds. High gun in each event has one target de¬ 
ducted for corrected score, from the total of the day 
those having won trophy points at previous shoots have 
one target deducted for each trophy point for final cor¬ 
rected score; if there are ties, each get a point. A 
shooter starting on one class is not shifted to the other 
class, but is shifted in his own class according to his 
shooting, and we figure we can change the distance 
enough so as to keep the contest very even and have a 
number of ties to be shot off at the end of the season, 
as we have four prizes in each class. 
We will keep you posted as to the winners of points, 
but till our beginners get a little more proficient, we 
trust you will pardon our not sending the full scores. 
We extend a cordial invitation to all your readers to 
come and shoot with us. 
Chas. W. Gardiner, Pres. 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Dec. 5.—The weather conditions were 
bad for good scores at the gun club grounds to-day. A 
cutting north wind made the roaring fire in the club 
house a pleasant spot after each event. 
The season’s high average series started to-day. Four 
prizes will be awarded—three guns and a case of shells. 
Considerable interest will be centered on these prizes be¬ 
fore the season ends. W. S. Smith had his single 
trigger mechanism go wrong after the second shot so 
that he was obliged to pull twice for his choked barrel. 
Event 3, at 5 pairs, was strenuous work, a target being 
sprung from each trap. The leg on the prize, a vase 
given by the Hunter Arms Co., was won by Jos. Willi ’

Rifle shooting and archery on the 12th inst. A team

day - C. G. 3 . 
The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Dec. 2.—A raw, blustering day was 
all that the Palefaces could secure for the first December 
shoot, and the thirteen shooters present were treated to 
some awful endeavors on the contestants’ part to make 
good scores. 
Only three clean scores were made during the seven 
events with such sterling shooters as Frank, Buffalo, 
Dickey, Charles, Sibley, etc., to draw from, which goes 
a long way toward proving the exact conditions which 
were in evidence. 
The high average was quite warmly; contested neverthe¬ 
less, Frank and Todd running a nip-and-tuck race for 
second, ever ready to take advantage of a slip up on the 
leader’s part, and deserve more than ordinary credit for 
the scores which they turned in. 
Frank’s shooting in the handicap was by far the best 
of the day, the increased distance seeming to better his 
vision, and there will be very few higher scores made 
during the month. 
In the tie shoot for the previous month’s trophy, 
Sibley was a wee bit too strong and spirited away a 
pretty souvenir which was immediately put forth for 
further competition. Scores:
