Hebron Gun Club. 
Allentown, Pa., Dec. 7.—At the shoot of the Hebron 
Gun Club, held at Lebanon, Pa., to-day, Neaf Apgar was 
high professional with 135 out of 150. Geo. W. Hansell 
was high amateur gun with 133 out of 150. The rain 
was pouring down in torrents, and only eleven shooters 
faced the traps. A good crowd was expected, but owing 
to the weather such was the result.

Old Memories. 
Selhyville, Del., Dec. 12.—While looking over Forest 
and Stream this morning, I note that the old Hudson 
Gun Club, of Jersey City, is still in the ,swim. A 
‘perusal of the last shoot of the club makes me think of 
the many good hours I have spent with the club mem¬ 
bers and visitors, and of the keen competition that has 
taken place in good old sportsmanlike fashion, on the 
banks of the Hackensack River, with such shooters as 
assembled years ago for a short day’s sport. You can 
believe me when 1 state that I never enjoyed myself 
any better than I did at the shoots of the old Hudsons. 
Such shooters as Capt. Money, Harold. Money, Ed. 
Banks, Geo. Piercy, Louis Schortemeier, C. Banta, Carl 
Von Lengerke, Jim Hughes, Kelly, O’Brien, and I 
think almost all other shooters of renowned ability 
within miles of old New York and Jersey City, including 
the many representatives of gun and powder houses, 
attended the Hudson shoots, and I am sure that they 
all came away feeling that they were glad they came and 
that they were among good and joyful sportsmen, if not 
the best shots. 
Well do I remember the times, when the shooting 
abilities of the Hudsons were in question, one could, 
from the club house windows, look up at the bank of 
the adjacent river and see Schorty, Piercy, Banta, 
Hughes, O’Brien, and, in fact, almost every member of 
the club, coming loaded down with shells, ready to 
Lester S. German, of James T. Skelly, 
Aberdeen, Md. Wilmington, Del. 
Mr. German was high professional at Travers Island 
last week. 
shoot Gilbert for the championship if necessary to up¬ 
hold the honor of the Hudson Gun Club. , 
After the last gun had cracked, and Jim Hughes had 
figured up the percentages, it was one of the Hudson 
members who had won the high average. Then Schorty 
would go to that shell case of his and_ hand out some 
of the finest breaded pork chops or liverwurst I ever 
ate. Then he would tell how he held under a sharp 
quartering left driver. We would sit around that big 
stove and discuss the pros and cons of every shooter 
within a radius of one hundred miles. 
Mr. Editor, when one of the Hudson’s members at¬ 
tended other club shoots, he was not the lowest average 
by a jugful. Many expert shooters have attended the 
Hudson shoots and found to his surprise that there were 
present shooters who could point, their guns very quick¬ 
ly They were good boys .and enjoyed keen competition. 
They asked for no handicaps. They didn’t want a good 
shot to carry them around on his back, as the saying 
used to be. “If I cannot shoot now equal to the other 
members, I surely will at the next shoot,’ was the kind 
of spirit that makes a shooter, at least in my judgment. 
Well, old shooting partners, I am out of the business. 
Only m a small way do I shoot at the traps here. I 
often think of you all, and wish I could be with you 
some morning, and I would convince you that old 
Nancy—that’s my gun—and I can break a few yet. Mv 
time now is taken up growing strawberries and trying 
to farm in a small way during the spring and summer 
months. ' In the fall and winter, I am shooting quail, 
geese and ducks most all of the time. I only kill 
enough quail for table use, but of geese and ducks I 
ship a few. just to get enough money to buy tobacco. 
I am building a gasoline boat for bay use, so that I 
can go and come from the shooting grounds in the 
bay, with comfort. 
Possibly, if life lasts till next summer, I will run up 
to old New York and have a morning’s shoot with you 
all, and show you how “old Nancy ’ and “Jap” can 
break them. . , . 
I extend my best wishes to the members and for the 
club’s prosperity. C. W. Floyd, 
The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Dec. S.—The regular weekly Paleface 
shoot, held to-day at Wellington, was some thinned out 
through many of the boys taking in the New York 
A. C. shoot at Travers Island, but ten of the most 
enthusiastic stay-at-homes were in evidence, and a most 
pleasant outing was the result. 
The race for high average was easily a corker, with 
the inimitable Sibley ending in the lead, though some¬ 
what doubtful till the last event, when the club s veteran 
shot, Dickey, failed to negotiate 5 in 20, a rare thing 
for this expert to do. In the amateur ranks 1 odd had 
things to himself by two targets over Charles and New¬ 
ton, and won the pretty souvenir offered by the club 
for high score.
