Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., March 28.—-Seventeen members 
took part in to-day’s shoot, at the Hudson’s grounds, 
and spent the morning very pleasantly, smashing blue- 
rocks. High average was won by Lou Schorty, who 
scored 923 per cent, of 170 targets shot at. D. D. Engel, 
shooting a 26in. barrel gun, was the runner-up with 81 
per cent., while Billy O’Brien, who has always been a 
contender for high gun honors, gave up in disgust after 
shooting at 50 birds and scoring only 27 of them. 
Gille was at the grounds with one of those famous 
cakes of his, and which he donates as a prize to the 
winner of the club event. Jack Williams was the lucky 
man to-day, winning out after shooting off several ties 
with Henry Pape. 
Lieut. H. J. Burlington, the crack rifle shot of the 
Fourth Regiment, N. G., N. J., and Assistant Armorer 
Thomas Boothroyd, who is also some pumpkins with 
the rifle and shotgun, shot a 100-bird race, and the 
former won by 10 birds. The match was for a suitable 
purse, and the loser to pay for dinners for twelve of the 
winner’s friends. We all pity Tom when he gets the 
bill for those dinners, as the guests that are to be 
favored all weigh from 250 up. Tom took his defeat 
good-naturedly, and challenged the Lieutenant to a 
rather unique match to shoot at 10 English snipe, which 
the Lieutenant accepted. As soon as he can procure a 
pair of rubber boots so as to enable him to tramp in 
the marsh, this match will be on, and we expect that 
the tables will be turned, as Tom is an expert snipe 
shooter. 
Our next shoot will be held on April 10, and every¬ 
body is welcome to come out and shoot along with us.

WINCHESTER 
Shotguns and Shells 
Win The Eastern Amateur Championship 
Mr. H. W. Buckwalter, of Royersford, 
Penna., shooting a Winchester Repeating 
Shotgun and Winchester " Leader" Shells, 
outshot a big field of crack amateurs and 
won the Eastern Amateur Championship 
at the recent tournament of the Keystone 
Shooting League of Philadelphia. 
OTHER NOTABLE WINNINGS. 
Shooting “Leader” shells, Wm. Wolsten- 
croft won the Maryland Handicap at the 
“Amateur Shoot” at Baltimore, scoring 92 
targets from the 20-yard mark. High 
amateur for the shoot was Chas. Mink, 
shooting a Winchester gun and “Leaders”. 
Wm. Weidebusch, Wm. M. Foord and G. N. Hoover were tied for 
second amateur average, while J. W. Ewing was third. All shot 
“Leader ” shells and Mr. Hoover and Mr. Ewing also shot Win¬ 
chester guns. 
To win these events required skill and good guns and shells. The 
merit of Winchester Shotguns and Shells is established. They are 
the ones that in 1909 hung up the highest record ever made.

JUST REMEMBER IT! 
97.20% FOR 8325 TARGETS. 
Monicl&ir Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., March 26. —Aside from the work 
done by Crane to-day, the shooting was away below the 
average, possibly because of the high winds. ^ Williams 
was trying out a new gun, while Frazee doesn’t seem to 
have caught on to the trick of his new gun. Winslow 
did more than his usual amount of flinching. 
Events 4 and 5 were the final leg for the members’ 
trophy for March, S. S. Crane being the winner, and as 
he had already won one leg, the trophy went to him, 
Messrs. Babcock and Dukes each having won one leg. 
All indications point to a large attendance at the 
fourth annual championship of Metropolitan clubs, to be 
held on these grounds on Wednesday, April 6. 
Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind., March 19.—At the regular Satur¬ 
day afternoon matinee shoot at the Indianapolis Gun 
Club, the scores were not as good as they should have 
been.’ The day was a beautiful one, but for the breeze 
'that made the flight of the targets erratic. Mr. Janies 
Hymer was high gun for the practice events with a per¬ 
centage of a fraction over 90. Dr. Britton’s percentage 
was also 90.
