As several of the Crescent Athletic Club members 
who are interested in trapshooting were at Pinehurst, 
N. C., enjoying the good shooting thereabouts, and 
several other of the club shooters have not begun trap¬ 
shooting as yet, there was a small attendance at the Bay 
Ridge traps, Dec. 4. Thirteen contestants participated 
in the December cup event, and the first leg was scored 
by Mr. W. W. Peabody, Jr. Mr. F. B. Stephenson was 
first in the December scratch shoot with 14 out of 15. 
Three, Messrs. F. B. Stephenson, J. P. Fairchild and 
W. W. Marshall tied on 23 for the Stake trophy, 
Stephenson winning in the shoot-off. The Stephenson 
brothers scored a win in the team shoot with a total of 
43 out of 50. 
The “early season number” of the Pinehurst Outlook

Flushing, N. Y., Dec. 4. —The weekly shoot of the 
Hillside Rod and Gun Club resulted in the following 
Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 5.—A very pleasant morning 
greeted the members of the Hudson Gun Club for the 
regular bi-monthly meeting at the traps to-day, and with 
the wind just strong enough to give a little extra speed 
to the targets, made the day an ideal one for the sport. 
In the 100-bird event, Schorty and W. O Brien out¬ 
classed the rest of the boys, and a pretty race. for first 
honors took place between those_ two, fighting it out to 
the last bird and resulting in a tie with 94 each. O Brien 
bad the only straight score made to-day in any of the 
different events shot. . 
Mr. A. G. Hanke, a noted rifle shot, was our visitor, 
and tried his hand at smashing targets for the first time. 
For a beginner, he showed some class, and it would not 
be surprising to see him shooting with the Class A 
bunch before long. ... . , , 
We had a birthday party at the club house to-day when 
Lou Schorty, after blowing the boys to cigars and ice 
cream, announced that he was just thirty-three years of 
age to-day. Frank Coleman says that he must have 
started young at the shooting game, as he remembers 
him shooting way back in the early 80s with the top- 
notchers of that time. Well, we all wish Schorty good 
luck, and trust that he will be able thirty-three years 
from now to break targets as clean and as good as he did 
t0 On y December 19 we shoot again, and if it should rain, 
snow or hail, remember that we have a very roomy 
club house, with a stove large enough to heat up the 
grounds out to the trap house. A hot lunch served at 
all shoots, and everybody is welcome. ,, 
Take Turnpike car to the Hackensack bridge, walk 
north along the west bank toi the club house, which is 
just over the D., L. & W. R. R. tracks. Cars leave
