(pearl and silver salad fork), D. Brandreth (silver pie

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 13. —The weather conditions 
were about as bad as they could possibly have been 
from a trapshooter’s point of view at the Hudson’s 
grounds this morning. The day was cold, a stiff north¬ 
west wind blowing in the faces of the shooters, and the 
ground covered with snow and the sun casting its rays 
down on it, kept the boys guessing as to how to- hold 
and lead, so as to make their scores presentable, and 
only the weathered shots of the club could return scores 
that would tally with their general averages. 
Schorty and Billy O’Brien made a runaway race of 
it for high gun, and each managed to score 90 per cent, 
of their targets, the rest of the bunch not showing class 
enough to be contenders for the honor at any stage of 
the game, and was well pleased to keep inside of the 
20 mark. 
W’illiams was trying out a new dope that he thought 
was the “cheese” for a windy day. A glance at his 
scores will tell the tale, and Jack was overheard telling 
the secretary after the shoot that it was “punk dope” 
(whatever that means). No. 4 may be all right for 
elephants, Jack, but for that animal called the blue rock, 
there is nix on the No. 4. 
That boy De Freitas, looks like a comer to some of 
the old boys at the game, as he shows lots of promise 
with a little more practice. He started trapshooting last 
month, having shot at less than 400 targets to date, and 
shooting a 66 per cent, clip to-day, is going some for 
a boy who is not yet out of his ’teens. Keep it up, 
Kid, we all wish you success. 
Feb. 27, 1910, the law is otf on blue rocks. There is 
no bag limit at the Hudson Gun Club grounds. Every¬ 
body is welcome, and as we have just stocked our pre¬ 
serves with thousands of black demons, we can guarantee 
you lots to shoot at and a good time.

Batavia, N. Y., Feb. 10.—We desire to announce that 
the Interstate Association has given its approval to 
our eighth annual tournament, which will be held 
Wednesday, Aug. 17. At this shoot will take place the 
contest for the amateur championship of Western New 
York, represented by the Watts L. Richmond trophy. 
The present holder of the cup is Mr. A. E. Conley, 
Cohocton, N. Y., who won the point in 1909. The first 
point was won by Mr. Edward Cox, Buffalo, N. Y. 
This event is_ sanctioned by the New York State Sports¬ 
men’s Association. Mark our date on your calendar 
and plan to attend. 
At our last two shoots we had a head wind and zero 
weather one day and a blizzard the other, so that under 
the circumstances the boys are fairly well satisfied with 
the following scores:

Average for 1909 with the

Mr. Spencer shot a standard grade 
Winchester Repeater and Winches¬ 
ter “Leader” and “Repeater” 
shells—regular stock loads—the 
kind you can buy anywhere. Nine 
out of the ten Season’s Average con¬ 
tests have been won with Red W 
Goods. This long and consistent 
record of superiority and Mr. 
Spencer’s wonderful shooting with 
them in 1909 , shows that they are 
BETTER THAN EVER

Trapshooting at San Francisco. 
In spite of the fact that matters in the line of trap¬ 
shooting are in a rather unsettled state locally at the 
present time owing to the fact that no grounds have 
been found, as yet, that can be easily reached by the 
San Francisco powder burners, there are indications 
that the season will not be the dull one that was antici¬ 
pated a short time ago. 
At a special meeting of the California Wing Club, 
held a short time ago, it was decided to go ahead with 
the regular season’s plans, and to hold a live-bird shoot 
to open the season, as has been the custom for many 
years. A committee composed of Tony Prior, Billy 
Murdock and Clarence Nauman, was appointed to select 
a suitable place for holding the shoot, and it is prob¬ 
able that this will be selected just north of Berkeley, 
near the \ igorit Powder Works. Here live bird traps 
can be installed, and it may be that bulkheads for clay 
pigeon shooting will also be put in. The annual meeting 
of the club will be held during the second week of 
February, and by that time it is believed that a shooting 
place will have been selected. It is planned to hold the 
opening shoot on the first Sunday in March. If it is 
not possible to have the grounds fitted up for clay tar¬ 
gets, there is a possibility that the old Ingleside 
grounds may be secured again for the local trapshooters. 
The Madera Gun Club has opened the season in a very 
satisfactory manner, and a number of San Francisco ex¬ 
perts went down to shoot with the valley boys. Excellent 
scores were made in spite of unfavorable weather con¬ 
ditions. Much interest is being taken in trapshooting 
by the sportsmen of the valley sections, and the present 
season promises to be a very favorable one for the sport. 
The Carnation Gun Club is arranging for a series of 
meets to be held at the grounds in the Guadalupe valley. 
The San Mateo Gun Club is also arranging a season’s 
program, and will hold weekly shoots.

Flushing, N. Y., Feb. 12.— Poor weather conditions 
prevented much of an attendance at the shoot yesterday 
morning. However, the eight “regulars” disposed of 
1600 targets before quitting. Scores follow:
