Dec. 18, Second Day. 
Amateur Championship of America. 
The contest for the Amateur Championship of America 
was open to all amateurs of America. Conditions, 100 
targets, 16yds., entrance, price of targets. The prize was 
a beautiful trophy, which became the property of the 
winner. It was emblematic of the amateur championship 
of America. This was won by the famous amateur ex¬ 
pert, Mr. George S. McCarty, of Philadelphia, with a 
total of 96. the highest score made in this and in any 
prior championship held under the auspices of the New 
York Athletic Club. Mr. Wm. M. Foord was second 
with 95. Dr. Le Roy Culver, of Jersey City, was third 
with 93. Mr. J. A. R. Elliott was high professional with 
98, winning the beautiful and valuable trophy which the 
club gave as a prize for that performance. Mr. L. S. 
German was next with 97. 
The weather was far from favorable. In the morning 
there was a steady rainfall, with a strong wind. The 
storm of the night before, combined with the low tem¬ 
perature, had clogged and frozen the trapping machinery 
to a degree which required some active work to free it 
and get it in working order. Mr. Pelham entered into 
the work actively, which, while of undoubted utility in 
helping matters along successfully, had anything but 
beneficial effects on his efforts as a shooter, as shown 
by his score of 16 out of his first 25, after which he re¬ 
gained his form and scored 71 out of the remaining 75. 
Toward noon the weather became more favorable, al¬ 
though there was much mist and a raw chilling tempera¬ 
ture. 
All told, 120 shooters took part, of whom twelve were 
professionals. A list of the trade representatives present 
follows, those marked with an * did not shoot: Messrs 
‘Frank Lawrence. *Geo. Bingham, *John Zollinger! 
*Harry Oyerbaugh, Haze Keller, Neaf Apgar, Jas. 
Shelly, J. A. R. Elliott, Sim Glover, *Clate Brown, Jack 
bannmg, H. L. Brown, Geo. Maxwell, Frank Butler, 
H- S. Welles Frank Pratt, *T. W. Stake, *Gus Greiff, 
Fred Schoverling, Al. Schoverling, *Tom Keller, Lester 
German, Thomas Marshall, H. H. Stevens, *Georere 
Beniamin, A. C. Barrell, *James Lewis. 
Of the club members, Mr. C. W. Billings was high 
witn 94 on the first day. Second day, Mr. Fred Hodgman 
91. For the two days, Mr. G. F. Pelham made high 
average with 180. Scores follow:

Hud son Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 20.—About the usual number 
oi regulars visited the grounds to-day and broke a few 
targets. The nearest to a straight score to-day was 
a made by Raymond and Hallenger, and although a 
strong, gusty wind prevailed, the conditions were other¬ 
wise perfect for a winter day shoot. 
Five events were run off, No. 4 being the club trophy, 
and a leg on the same was won by Haddow, who scored 
20 , plus his handicap, which gave him 6 points. The 
final shoot for the Western Cartridge Co.’s trophy will 
be shot on Jan. 3. 
Billy O’Brien was high gun for the day with 83 per 
cent., and while it does not look very much, it was 
very hard to beat to-day. 
The next shoot will be held on Jan. 3, 1909. Every¬ 
body is welcome to come and shoot along, if they wish 
to, as we trap targets at one cent each to everybody. 
Our grounds are on the west bank of the Hackensack 
River, about 400yds. north of the Turnpike road, and 
only thirty-five minutes from New York.
