Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City N. J., Nov. 26.—The Thanksgiving 
Day shoot, held by the Atlantic City Gun Club was a 
grand success, in spite of the inclement weather, which 
no doubt kept many shooters away. The programme 
was made up of five events of 15 targets each, with 
turkeys as prizes, and the events were all closely con¬ 
tested. The cold weather and the northwest wind made 
the shooters shoot quick, and high scores were very hard 
to attain under the conditions.

Wescoat, Powers, H. Headley, Watson and Osgood 
all were successful in capturing a turkey to take home. 
H. L. Brown was down and shot along and ran an 
■even pace, and considering the weather, the work he did 
was exceptionally fine. 
Cook was obliged to be away on account of a family 
dinner, and I am informed he had a very restless after¬ 
noon. He is one of the regulars, and is to be counted 
on at all times to be at the top. When the guns are 
popping it is hard to keep him off the firing line. 
We will .have an all day shoot on Christmas, shooting 
to start at 10 in the morning and stop at 12, and start at 
2 in the afternoon and continue until it is too dark to 
see targets. Everyone invited to shoot with us. 
Friday, Dec. 3, the December spoon event will be 
shot off, and a large entry is looked for. Be on the 
grounds promptly and get some practice before the 
■contest starts.
