[Sept. i8, 1909. 
Concerning the great annual event of the Bergen 
Beach, L» I., Gun Club, Secretary L. H. Schortemeiet 
writes us as follows: “The boys are all preparing tor 
our third annual Cosmopolitan Championship on Colun» 
bus Day, Thursday, Oct. 12, a legal holiday. Conditions, 
100 targets each at 16yds. rise, open to all amateurs. A 
sterling silver trophy, donated by Capt. Dreyer, and 
$25 in gold to first; a trophy and $5 in gold each to 
second, third and fourth, and $5 in gold each to fifth, 
sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh, or $75 
and four trophies added, open to all amateurs. An op¬ 
tional sweepstake of $5 in this event; entrance $2.50, in 
eluding birds. We hope for good weather this year, as 
last year we were handicapped by a terrific rainstorm, 
but had about sixty entries just the same. There will be 
no sweepstake day as heretofore the next day, but if 
possible two 25-target sweeps, five moneys, class shoot¬ 
ing, will be held. The championship will be decided 
on the high gun system, and the optional also. Three 
sets of expert traps as usual.”

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., Sept. 9.—The annual Labor Day 
shoot of the Analostan Gun Club, held on the afternoon 
of Sept. 6, was an unqualified success. We had no out- 
of-town visitors and no professionals to advertise as an 
attraction, but notwithstanding this, we had thirty-five 
shooters on the firing line. Following are the scores 
made during 
the afternoon:"

Events 6, 7 and 8 were sweeps, $1.30 entrance, divided 
40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. In the first event Steubener 
and Farnham took first money on 15 straight; Hunter, 
second on 14; Dufour, Brown and Cobey tied for third 
on 13, and Taylor, Monroe, Wagner, C. B. Wise, Geo. 
Wise and Barnes, fourth, on 12. 
In the seventh event Steubener and Brown divided 
first on 14; Dufour, Orrison, Cobey, C. B. Wise and 
Barnes divided second on 13; Hunter, Geo. Wise, Farn¬ 
ham and Stein took third, and Drain and Monroe fourth. 
In the eighth event Farnham got first all alone on 15; 
Brown, C. B. Wise and Steubener drew down second; 
Parsons, Dufour, Monroe, Barnes and Cobey, third; 
Hunter, fourth. 
The tenth event was for merchandise prizes. The 
shooters were divided in three classes. A, B and C. 
The prizes were all alike in each class—first, a cut glass 
bowl; second, a decorated pitcher; third, an imported 
stein; fourth, solid brass ink stand, and fifth, a match 
stand and ash tray. The contest for these prizes were 
interesting. In Class A, the first five high men scored 
97 out of 100, Orrison and Cobey going straight. Hunter, 
C. B. Wise and M. Taylor each scoring 19; Brown 
scored 18 and all the rest, 17. 
Tn Class B, the old verteran and good fellow. George 
Wise, ran away with first, scoring 18. Dr. Stine was a 
good second with 17, while Monroe and Barnes ac¬ 
counted for 16. and Dr. Taylor 15. 
In Class C. General Drane took first on IS, Ray sec¬ 
ond on 17, Hawes third with 16, while Folsom and 
Osborne each scored 14. 
Dan Orrison showed up at the grounds in his hunting: 
togs and took a crack at a few to get his hand in, and 
then scored 20 straight in the merchandise contest. 
When Dan gets a load that suits, he is a hard man 
to stop. 
Uncle Billv Wagner did not display his usual skill, 
and no wonder! To use his own expression, the gun he 
was using was “as crooked as a dog’s hind lee.” 
Dr Cobey, one of our new shooters, is displaying 
ra ^ e vl orI S- the toonotchers all have to watch him 
I h'k Steubener and Tos. Hunter were both “going 
some and are now dissatisfied if they fall below 90 
per cent. C. B. W ise and Dufour have also got to 
n i v !l er ?, th , e y ex P e ? t about all of them to be 
rMled dead. Dr. Monroe, is satisfied if he keeps above 
S5. while Dr Parsons rejoices if we will ony stay late 
enough for him to shoot his 100. The score does not 
worry him—it’s the fun he is after. Bud Brown is one 
of our most reliable shots, and is always to be found 
with the leaders. Henry Farnham was out for the first 
time in weeks, but demonstrated that he can still find 
them. Business makes slaves of some people; but not 
Joe Hunter, who says, "when business interferes with 
pleasure to cut out the business.”

The small attendance was caused by the opening of 
the marsh shooting, many of our shooters being away 
enjoying the shooting of ortolan and reed birds. Uncle 
Billy Wagner, Jos. H. Hunter, Everett Dufor, C. S. 
Wilson and John Coleman have been down on the 
Patuxet and report the game more plentiful than it has 
been for years. 
I regret to report that one of our most estimable 
members, Mr. Harry Willson, fell while going up the 
steps into his office a few days ago and fractured his left 
ankle. Tt was a bad break and will confine him to the 
house for months. Mr. Willson loves to hunt, and it 
will be a great hardship for him to be confined to the 
house so long.

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Aug. 28.—Eight Portland shooters vis¬ 
ited the Paleface grounds to-day, and with twenty-six 
Bostonians made life miserable for traps and targets from 
10 A. M. to 4 P. M. 
The party from Portland, headed by Secretary Chas. 
F. Jordan, comprised W. G. Hill, the Popular U. M. C. 
expert; S. W. Dimick, one of Portland’s most prominent 
snorting goods dealers; Dr. W. C. Bray. E. E. Thurston, 
Chas. Thurston, C. Cash, L. P. Hunnaford. Talk about 
shotgun fans, but for the real bunch, the Portland boys 
are surely the goods, and saying that the home boys 
enjoyed their visit was a mild way of putting it. 
The Portland shooters also took care of a good deal of 
the honors, two of their number coming in the favored 
few, and cne, Charlie Jordan, winning the first on a 
shoot-off with C. Thurston and Worthing. The latter 
pair shot evenly, and a second tie was encountered, 
where silver shot decided the matter, with Worthing the 
winner. 
In the race for high average the best shooting seen in 
Boston for months, ten shooters having averages of over 
90 and the four leading positions being .975, .950, .937, .931 
per cent., a fast bunch, to say the least. 
In the team shoot, an impromptu affair, to fill out a 
most enjoyable programme, the Boston boys simply out- 
shot themselves and made a record score, which it would 
take some hustling on any city’s part to beat. In jus¬ 
tice to the Portland Club, this was not their strongest 
team, and their sportsmanship in allowing their club to 
enter the match was commented upon by all. Another 
time we are in hopes to arrange an intercity match which 
will be worth watching.

Notes of the Shoot. 
Squad No. 4 had the honor of breaking a straight in 
event No. 8. Dickey, Roy, Edgarton, Burnes and 
Brinley made up this quintet. Squad No. 3 ran them a 
good second with 96 out of the 100 on one try and 95 
on the other. George Hassam captained this bunch, 
with Todd, Charles, Rule and Clarke as his mates. 
Chas. F. Jordan’s win in the handicap match was the 
most universally liked win that has been made in many 
moons. The Portland boys certainly have a secretary 
that pulls for the good of the game from all sides, and a 
reward once in a while is a pleasure to every one. 
Dickey with 95 per cent., showed the boys that he 
can hold us yet, and made a score good enough to win j 
under any ordinary circumstances. 
Charlie Worthing came almost up to the coveted 90 
per cent, in actual shooting, but when it came to calling 
the turn of the coin Charles was there with the goods. 
The dinner was presided over by President Comer and 
Arthur Sibley and what they can’t tell you now about 
sandwiches and hard tack is not worth mentioning. 
The tonic counter was the winner at all stages, and the 
whvs and wherefores were most peculiar to hear. 
George Cole made a dandy referee on No. 1 set. Not 
often is the club so fortunate as to secure such a 
worthy successor to Duke, whose arduous duties called 
him here, there and everywhere. 
Forty-seven straight scores were rung in during the 
ten events. Horace Kirkwood was the chief offender 
with seven, George Hassam next with five, and O. R. 
Dickey next with four. 
Hassam’s 98 in the tearii match was a beaut, and the 
way the gun general chawed them into dust was a 
caution. Where that boy would stop would be hard to 
imagine if he were the fortunate possessor of two hands. 
Charlie Comer annexed an even 90. which was pleas¬ 
ing to all. His only fall down of the day occurred in the 
eighth event, and hurt quite a little. 
Roy Hodsdon had one run of over 50, and looked good 
for an average, but a 12 crept in and then it was another 
story. Roy made them shoot some, which was what he 
was there for. 
The pleasant surprises on the Portland side was the 
way Charles Thurston and Hunnaford were cleaning 
things up, the latter practically a new shooter and still 
holding his own at this shoot. Thurston started well 
and ended right up with the bunch, over 90 per cent, 
for an average being what we all are looking for. 
The ball game was a corker, but Kirkwood’s Mutts 
were too fast for Sibley’s Boneheads, the score at the I 
end reading 9 to 7. “Little Billee” Hill did the twirl¬ 
ing for the Mutts and showed some class at that game 
even though using a white ball-instead of the usual red 
ball article. Billy Hamilton was the opposing star artist 
and did well. Steve Dimick, of the Portland Club, held 
first base for the winners to perfection. 
Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Sept. 12.' —The attendance at the 
regular bi-monthly meeting of the Hudson Gun Club 
was very poorly attended, only seven taking part in the 
day’s programme. 
The day was cool and pleasant for trapshooting, and 
with the traps working perfectly, all hands spent a very 
enjoyable morning, and of those that shot the pro¬ 
gramme events, John Pape was high with 84 per cent. 
Billy O’Brien arrived a little late, but what he did to 
the few that he shot at made us all feel ashamed of 
ourselves, he scoring 48 out of 50, losing his first two 
targets and finishing in grand style, just to show us 
that we don’t know anything about the game. 
The Dupont trophy event was won to-day by John 
Pape with a straight score. This put him second high 
for it, and at the shoot of Sept. 26, which will be the 
last contest for it, some classy shooting can be expected.

nice pace. 98 out of 100. Wescoat came out for a few 
minutes and scored 90 per cent. ,
