The members of the 3 B’s were singularly fortunate 
in the weather conditions on the occasion of the first 
of the serial contests for the Clinton R. James and club 
trophies. Some excellent scores were recorded, on ac¬ 
count of the lack of strong winds usually prevalent at 
this season of the year. 
Tuesday, Jan. 12, was the day selected, and a more 
beautiful winter’s day never greeted these trapshooting 
enthusiasts. The secretary was high score in Class A 
from the 18yds. mark. Two 41s were high in the B 
class until Mr. \\ . C. Damron appeared and went the 
score one better, while Charley Schreivogel, in Class C, 
took his fellow class members into camp with a 39. 
Mr. S. has been shooting in very regular form lately. 
Mr. G. Kouwenhovtn, who won the last year's spring 
series in Class A from the 19yds. mark, was relegated 
to the 20yds. mark, and despite a poor start, finished 
strong. Mr. Erhardt, the winner of last year, in Class C, 
shot in the B Class as a penalty, and his mediocre per¬ 
formance may be attributed to a new single barrel gun. 
Mr. Thoben brought out a new double, a beautiful arm, 
and when he gets accustomed to it will doubtlessly 
improve in his scores. Capt. Dreyer got into the 40s, 
performing creditably. 
The attendance of twenty-five shooters was not so 
bad so soon after the big New Year’s contest, and the 
shells on sale rapidly disappeared. Mr. Wellbrock was 
with us to-day after several months’ absence. Mr. 
Dalton all the way from Tuckahoe, certainly enjoyed 
himself: but our trend ick. from Baums Hook, took 
the philosophical view that if the shot from his gun

could not always break them, the pesky targets, when 
hitting the ground, would break anyway. Garry Remsen. 
our old standby, made up for his non-attendance at the 
New Year’s shoot by coming early, and finished only 
one behind the high score in Class A. Mr. A. E. 
Hendrickson, as usual, banged away the entire afternoon 
irom the first event in tne first squad, and finished 
when a target was hardly to be seen in the twilight. 
All in all, it was a day’s good sport. Mr. De Long 
scored the events. Mr. Fessenden was referee and the 
secretary had charge of the office. The balance of the 
serial will be shot on Tuesday, Feb. 8, and Tuesday, 
March 8. The total of two shoots selected of the three

Dr. McCall s visit was his initial on these grounds. 
Looking at his finish, he has lots of encouragement 1 , and 
wdl no doubt make the best of the regulars “go some.” 
Powers, under the conditions, did well, as also did 
Cook and Young. 
Algar .was a little off. He wants to tune up a little. 
Doc. V- atson was kept so busy watching the targets 
that he failed to stop in response to his efforts. Better 
luck next time. Had there been a pig up, it would have 
been a different story, no doubt:

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, Jan. 6.—Blizzard or snow was not enough 
to dampen the enthusiasm of the Hudson Gun Club 
members and their friends to reach their grounds for 
the regular bi-monthly shoot of this club, and seventeen 
of the faithful attended and spent a very pleasant 
morning at the traps. 
After the snow squad under the supervision of J. W. 
located the trap house and dug tunnels and subways to 
reach it, the trappers got busy with the targets, and 
fer several hours after kept the shooters on their mettle 
trying to break them. After it was over, the veteran 
at the game, George Piercey, was found to be high gun 
with 88 per cent, to his credit, making a runaway race 
for the honor, as the next high man, H. L. Brown, 
shooting a gun that had a barrel bent to the radius of 
a liverwurst, was his nearest competitor with 82 per cent. 
The weather was perfect, and with no wind blowing, 
the scores should be much better than what they are, 
but the snow that lies on the ground in front of the 
traps was very trying' to the eyes, and no doubt had 
something to do with the poor showing of some of our 
chib members to-day. 
After lunch a three-cornered race was pulled off be- 
tween Wright, Burlington and Tewes, for dinners and 
a suitable purse, and was won by Tewes, who was sup¬ 
posed to be a novice at the game, and great was their 
surprise when he returned a score of 40 broke out of 
50 shot at. After the stakeholder was relieved of a 
couple of yellow ones, Tewes gave them the laugh and 
told them that he was ready for a return match when 
they practiced up a bit, and also agrees to give them a 
handicap. They both took their defeat good-naturedly, 
and acknowledged that they were “stung.” 
We shoot on Jan. 30 again, and extended a welcome to 
all shooters that care to spend a pleasant morning at 
the traps, to come out to 
the Hudsons, 
and we will 
take care of you.
