[Dec. 25, 1909. 
Tournament at Catasauqua. 
A 48-page programme has been issued for the opening 
registered shooting tournament of the Bryden Gun Club, 
of Catasauqua, Pa., to be held Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. The 
programme calls for 150 targets each day, with an en¬ 
trance of |13. One-half cent for each target thrown both 
days will be set aside as high average money and 
divided among the seven high amateur guns, 25, 20, 15, 
15, 10, 10 and 5 per cent. Events 9 and 10 on Friday, 
Dec. 31, constitute the merchandise events. These prizes 
amount to 867, ranging from $21 as first prize, down to 
50 cents. There is no extra entrance fee for these events 
for those who shoot the programme, and others may 
enter by paying the price of the targets. 
The programme for Saturday, Jan. 1, is the same, ex¬ 
cepting that it has no merchandise events. Entrance 
813. 
We are proud to say that we have a warm, comfort¬ 
able club house, have installed the McCrae traps, and 
use the white flier targets exclusively at this tourna¬ 
ment. Our grounds are perfectly level, with a clear 
background, the sky. This is the only place to make 
your ending and opening record for the year 1909 and 
1910. The Bryden Gun Club grounds are located at 
Sixth and Buttonwood streets in the Borough of North 
Catasauqua, Pa. It is three miles north of Allentown, 
Pa., 100 miles west of New York, and sixty miles north 
of Philadelphia. It is easy of access by trolley from 
Allentown, Pa., one fare. Take Egypt or Siegfried car 
without change, on Hamilton street; get off at Third and 
Buttonwood streets. The grounds are three squares 
above. It has the advantage of three trunk lines, viz.: 
Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia & Reading, and Central R.R. 
of New Jersey. Luncheon will be served free to all 
participants. The courtesy of the club grounds is ex¬ 
tended to all lovers of trapshooting. Ladies are espe¬ 
cially invited to attend this shoot. A good majority of 
representatives and professionals will shoot this pro¬ 
gramme each day. The club extends a cordial invitation 
to all lovers of trapshooting to be present. Arrange¬ 
ments have been made to accommodate everybody. 
A copy of the programme may be had by addressing 
G. E. Brown, president, 1012 North Fifth street, Cata¬ 
sauqua, Pa. It will be under the management of A. K. 
Ludwig. Lloyd R. Lewis will have charge of the office, 
assisted by John McClister. Shells of all makes and 
popular brands, will be for sale on the grounds. The 
traps will be under the supervision of H. L. Brown, 
Belleville, N. J. Don’t forget the date. Come early. 
Good hotel accommodations. 
G. E. Brown, Pres. 
Bishopville Gun Club. 
Bishopville, Md., Dec. 21.—The Bishopville Gun Club 
will hold its annual shoot on Dec. 28. We surely will 
have a big shoot, and we extend an invitation to every 
one to attend and enjoy the many good things we will 
have for visitors. Everything is free excepting the tar¬ 
gets, which are one cent. 
There will be two prizes in each 20-target event. Also 
there will be a prize for high and one for low averages 
of the day. 
No one barred, experts included. If we cannot beat 
them on the 28th we will beat them possibly at our next 
annual shool. We ask no handicap, nor do we give any. 
All stand on the same footing, all eat the same hoe cake, 
smoke the same corn cob pipe, drink out of the same 
bottle if one is brought, and ask a lot of questions as 
to how you break them. I assure you, Mr. Editor, who¬ 
ever comes will know he is among friends, who will take 
the shooters home with them to dinner, and there will 
be no money asked or expected. 
There are great attractions to induce shooters to visit 
the eastern shore of Maryland, where the great straw¬ 
berries are raised in immense patches, faded now, yet 
which next May will yield some two or three carloads of 
the finest flavored fruit that grows anywhere. Some¬ 
times as many as forty-five carloads each day leave Sel- 
byville, Del., our nearest railroad station. Another 
reason for coming is to see the fine horses that the 
farmers own. We have some horses which can step in 
2.10. Every one has a stepper. We have a half-mile 
track, and such brushes as there will be next week are 
worth seeing, and no charges to see them. It is a kind 
of a free country. We don’t sell anything but straw¬ 
berries, lumber and fish, but are always looking for new 
friends, and never throw down the old ones. Send down 
some of your New York shooters and let them take our 
measure if they think they can do so. We will be with 
them or near them at the finish, so near that they will 
have to attend to their knitting, as Jim Skelly used to 
say. C. W. Floyd, Sec’y. 
Hillside Rod and Gun Club. 
Flushing, N. Y., Dec. 20.—The first of the series of 
matches between the Hillside Rod and Gun Club and the 
Manhasset Bay Yacht Club was held on the grounds 
of the former club on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 18. 
The contest was won by the Hillside Rod and Gun Club 
with a score of 196 out of 250 against the visiting team’s 
165. Scores, 50 targets per man:

selves.

Quarryville Gun Club. 
Quarryville, Pa., Dec. 11.—There were twenty-one 
trapshooters in the events of the Quarryville shoot to¬ 
day. L. Worthington was high gun with 147 out of 160. 
In the team race between Quarryville and Rawlinsville 
the home team won by a score of 271 to 228. The con¬ 
ditions were seven men to a team, 50 targets per man, a 
total of 350 targets to a team. Scores: 
# Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 19.—A cold, biting wind, 
blowing across the traps, greeted the members and their 
friends at the Hudson Gun Club grounds to-day, at the 
regular bi-monthly shoot, which made shooting extremely 
difficult, and played havoc with high scores. 
Schorty was, as usual, the kingpin to-day with 87 per 
cent., and was also high man in the 100-bird special with 
88 breaks. George Piercy with 86 and Mr. Engel with 
85 made him step some, but with good, consistent shoot¬ 
ing managed to win out in the last string. Billy O’Brien 
and Jack Williams were badly out of form, as they 
could not do better than 75 per cent., and the kinder¬ 
garten class for them if this happens again. 
After luncheon the boys sui^irised as well as pleased 
the secretary in presenting him with a token of their 
esteem, in the shape of a beautiful diamond scarfpin, and 
he wishes to thank, through the columns of your valu¬ 
able paper, the members and their friends who so kindly 
donated, and for the kindly feeling displayed, when 
Lou Schorty, with a neat little speech, presented the 
same. The token, and the kindness attending it will 
always be appreciated and prized as the most valuable in 
my possession for its association, I assure you. 
We start the New Year on Jan. 2, 1910, and if you have 
any spare shells left that you could not shoot at the 
Bergen Beach open merchandise tournament on Jan. 1, 
bring them along and shoot them at the Hudsons. If 
your supply runs short, we have some for sale. Every¬ 
body is welcome. Take the Turnpike car, and—well, you 
know the rest.

Haddonfield Gun Club. 
Haddonfield, N. J., Dec. 14. —The Haddonfield Gun 
Club seven months ago, to stimulate interest, after hav¬ 
ing tried every other means to enthuse the boys and 
having met with only partial success, decided to divide the 
members into classes, according to ability. The plan, 
like all others we had tried, worked well at first, - and 
brought out a large attendance, and then gradually it 
fell off to the regulars. The inducement was a $5 gold 
piece to the gunner making high score in each class, The 
shoot was at 25 targets each month. Classes A and B 
were composed of enthusiastic sportsmen, who faced the 
traps every month of the contest. The competition was 
close and exciting, first one competitor leading and then 
another, until the last shoot. Some excellent scores were 
made. Mr. Joseph Peacock, by superior gun work, 
landed the prize in Class A; Mr. Alonzo C. Stafford 
clinched it in Class B. Each won a victory that he will 
remember. The appended scores will show how nearly 
matched the shooters were in ability:
