Brooklyn, L. I.—Twenty-three marksmen of this club 
attended the practice shoot on Election Day, Nov. 2, 
beginning at 1 P. M. The conditions were about right, 
the wind from the southwest, though the light was oc¬ 
casionally a detriment to perfect scores. The wind being 
with the flight of the targets, allowed the old-timers and 
game shots to perform excellently in their gun-away-from- 
the-shoulder style. . . 
Mr. Westhall, a visitor, shot in this way and got in 
a straight in the eighth event, Schorty getting in the 
only other one in the sixth event with Capt. Dreyer s 
single, he using this gun in the last five regular events 
and in the political handicap, he discovering that his 
own trigger had an eight pound pull. The handicap 
certainly was political, as all shot from 22 yds., the shoot- 
off at 16yds., and the suffragette lambasted them all on 
the final. 
It will be noted that the Suffragette, the Populist, the 
Fusionist, and Tammany were elected, but the lady was 
boss at the finish. If the Anarchist cannot shoot 
straighter than he did to-day from the distance, crowned 
heads of Europe and Gowanus are perfectly safe. The 
gentleman on the aqua vehicle did well, but the Labor 
representative might have worked a bit harder. Mr. 
Robt. Schneider shot in good form. About 2,500 targets 
were trapped.

race, 10 targets per man, had results as follows: 
Bush and Osborne 17.

Y. T. Frazee was the winner to-day of two trophies, 
event 1 at 15 targets and event 3, a miss-and-out. 
The second event, a miss-and-out, very quickly set¬ 
tled down to a contest between Messrs. Bush and Wins¬ 
low, Bush breaking 7 targets and winning the event. 
In event 4 Osborne made a clean score of 10 breaks, 
while Babcock did the same stunt in the fifth events. 
The concluding event, a two-man pick-up team race, was

breaks. Scores:

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 7.—Ideal weatjier greeted 
the members of the Hudson Gun Club and their friends 
at the regular bi-monthly shoot, held to-day. The nine¬ 
teen shooters who took part m the day’s programme 
spent a very pleasant morning at the traps. 
Ma 
since the days of the old Endeavor Gun Club, away 
back in the ’90’s, was a visitor to-day and tried his 
hand for the first time since then, and succeeded in an¬ 
nexing 17 each time. He thinks that with a little prac¬ 
tice he will be able to trim Strader, Jr. 
Jack Williams was entirely out of form to-day, as a 
glance at the score sheet will show, but Jack says any 
man who walks four miles through meadow marsh to the 
trolley cars, as he had to yesterday, owing to a rail¬ 
road wreck, is excuse enough for any man shooting 
poorly. 
Something doing between Leary and Burlington to¬ 
day, as we noticed both of them adjourn to the far 
corner of the club house and talk things over after 
each event, then dig down and hand over something that 
looked like money. 
The hot lunch served to-day was enjoyed by all, as 
the bracing air of the seaside serves as an appetizer. We 
shoot again on Nov. 21, and .everybody is welcome at 
the club house to> look at us shoot or shoot with us, also 
get some of this bracing air that can be found only at 
the grounds of the Hudson Gun Club.

Willie O’Brien, the Iron Man, came down to-day with 
a brand new 32in. gas pipe, fitted to his old pump gun, 
and for a starter broke 24 out of his first 25, and also 
won high average for the day with S 8 per cent. Engel 
was the runner-up with 83 per cent, scored, and our 
old war horse Schorty, was third with 81 per cent. Just 
to show the boys that he is still in the game, he finished 
the day by breaking them all in the last event, a feat that 
we are all striving to do, and which very few shooters 
accomplish at the traps of the Hudson Gun Club.
