Championship of Metropolitan Clubs. 
The fourth annual championship of Metropolitan clubs 
was run off on the grounds of the Montclair Gun Club, 
at Upper Montclair, on Wednesday, April 6, and for the 
fourth time this event was favored by beautiful weather. 
Although there was a heavy fog at 8 o’clock, this had 
nearly cleared way when the first squad went to the 
traps at 9 o’clock, and by 10 o’clock, the weather con¬ 
ditions wete ideal. 
As in previous years, four sets of expert traps were 
used. The arrangements were also the same as in pre¬ 
vious years, the odd numbered squads shooting over 
traps Nos. 1 and 3, which were to the left of the club 
house, while the even numbered squads shot over traps 
Nos. 3 and 4, which were to the right and south of the 
club house. 
When noon time had arrived each contestant had shot 
at 50 targets. After luncheon the order was reversed. 
While the traps did not at all times work smoothly, 
yet it was possible to complete the match with ease by 
4:30 P. M. 
In previous years the entrance fee (including targets) 
has been but $2, and notwithstanding the fact that the 
first prize has heen the gift of one of the members of the 
Montclair Club, the club has lost money. This year no 
gift was forthcoming from any individual member of the 
club, and it was found necessary to advance the en¬ 
trance fee to $3, and this, in some measure, accounted 
for a smaller number of entries, only 110 contestants tak¬ 
ing part. 
When the last shot was fired, it was found that Mr. 
A. Lindlev. of the Smith Gun Club, of Newark, and 
Mr. Geo. F. Pelham, of the New York A. C., had tied 
for first and second prizes, each having 93 bluerocks to 
his credit, while Mr. C. T. Dav, Jr., also of the Smith 
Gun Club, had captured the third trophy. 
In the shoot-off. which occurred at 25 targets, it at 
first looked as if Mr. Pelham were the winner, when 
Mr. Lindley had missed his fourth and eighth targets, 
while Pelham had gone straight; but after this Lindlev 
went straight, while Pelham missed h's 9th, 13th, 16th 
and 18th targets. Scores: Pelham 21, Lindley 23. 
In the four-man team race the Smith Gun Club wsfe 
equally fortunate, winning first place with 437 breaks, 
the New York A. C. scoring 436, just one behind, while 
the Bergen Beach G. C., the winner in previous years, 
took third place with 426 targets; Freehold, fourth place 
with 422, and Montclair coming up fifth with 409. 
The trophies this vear were three 14-kt. solid gold 
watch charms and fobs, the first prize being set with 
fourteen pearls, while the team prizes consisted of five 
scarp pins, crossed guns being super-imposed on blue- 
rocks. 
The office was in charge of the secretary of the Mont¬ 
clair Gun Club, ably assisted by Mr. M. R. Baldwin, 
secretary of the Orange Gun Club, while the field was 
in charge of Mr. Y. T. Frazee and Mr. G. W. Boxall, of 
the home club.

Hud son Gun i lub. 
Jersey City, N. J., April 10. —Appended are the scores 
of the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, 
held to-day at the grounds of the club, on the bank of the 
Hackensack River and Turnpike road, Jersey City, N. J. 
The wind, blowing a gale, played havoc with the scores 
and caused the targets to soar in the air at least 50yds. 
and then dive for the shooting platform, landing behind 
the shooters, a number of them reaching the club house 
and smashing against it. But the boys all seemed to like 
the hard shooting they were getting, and while the score 
sheet does not show any records being made, the scores 
are first class when the conditions under which they were 
made are considered. 
Billy O’Brien was the “big noise” to-day, shooting for 
an average of 82 per cent.; he also tied for the club prize 
with several others, and after contesting for it several 
times, he was shot out by Mr. Craft, who won out on 
his handicap allowance. Our next shoot will be held on 
April 24, and everybody is welcome to shoot along with 
us if they wish.

Trap at* Harrisburg. 
Allenjown, Pa.—In an event of 20 live birds, on Pax- 
tonia grounds, Harrisburg, Pa.. Herbert Alexander, of 
Oxford, Pa., defeated John H. Buckalter, of Harrisburg, 
Pa., during a severe snowstorm recently. Each put up 
$10, and the loser to pay for the birds additionally. 
Herb missed his first bird, then the 13th, and scored 16- 
out of 20. Bucky missed 4 out of his first 10, and scored 
14 out of 20. Boys, you should have seen “Hod” smile. 
Herb should have been ashamed to take the money. 
Event No. 2 was to be between C. E. Kline and G. L. 
Moser, both of Harrisburg, Pa., but Guy got sick and 
could not be on the grounds. He claims he can kill 9 
out of 10 easily. Hod says he still holds the reputation. 
Kline then had to recall his money from the referee. No 
time set now for the contest.
