Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, L. I.—The annual New Year’s Day mer¬ 
chandise shoot of the Bergen Beach Gun Club, Jan. 2, 
attracted a surprisingly large entry list, considering the 
weather that was served up, there being a mixture of 
rain, mist and fog, so that it times the targets would 
T>e lost in the gloom almost immediately after they were 
ejected from the trap, and even the trap house was hardly 
visible at intervals. 
The officers of the club were on hand early to look 
after their guests, and in pairs and in bunches the 
shooters arrived, in spite of the rain and gloomy weather, 
until at the end there were forty-four amateurs who took 
part in the merchandise distance handicap at 50 targets, 
the shooters being arranged in Classes A, B and C, ac¬ 
cording to past achievements at the club’s traps. 
Uf course, Class C, which is the kindergarten class, 
rad the greatest entry list, but not the worst performers, 
•as two men, T. H. Foster, a comparative beginner at the 
game, who borrowed Capt. Dreyer’s gun, which he had 
never shot before, broke 45 out of his quota of 50, and 
VV. L. Silkworth, who a very few years ago, could not 
break more than 50 per cent, of his targets, tripped in 
with the same number. Charley Schreyvogel, as en¬ 
thusiastic as ever, smote 44 of them and was second 
high in his class, and his finish with a 24 was very 
classy after a mediocre start; 24s were very scarce, 
Deacon Moeller and John Gaughen, the latter in a 
postscript, being the only ones to corral that number in 
any round. Of course, these were from 16yds. 
Gaughen topped the Class B delegation with his 45, 
which he made on a re-entry and thus supplanted Ad. 
Suydam, who looked good with a 43 in that list 
Louis Schortemeier, from 19yds., headed the Class 
A bunch, small and select as it was, with a 45, while 
J. F. simonson was just one notch away and F R 
Long third with 41. 
Capt. Dreyer and Charley Blake, side by side, had the 
™ scores m reverse order, with totals of 42. 
There were a lot of nice prizes, twenty-six in number, 
at } le k°y s went away well pleased, especially Tohn 
\ anderveer, who selected an umbrella for his prize on 
such a wet day, as he was just about to buy an um¬ 
brella, and Von Beckman did likewise. 
, ? j* was getting quite dark when the event was con- 
eluded, numbers were put in a hat and the men having 
scores at the top and then on down the list drew for 
choice, and Schorty got first choice and took a cut- 
glass pitcher; Gaughen an oval fruit bowl; Silkworth a 
silver nut dish, and Foster, who wears a beard, had a 
shaving set selected for him by his friend Long. The 
’ eade /, 1S ! e . ft . t0 conjecture what Long must think of 
Foster s whiskers. There were cut-glass pieces, carving 
f P rvn • that WOuld be useful and °™a- 
applaled^to hin? ° Bnen got a P acl< age of stogies that 
The boys certainly kept the No. 2 set of traps busy 
from early in the day until it was too dark to see any 
lTnV f> a 'ii 0n f , St ™ der , , BlaI je and Gaughen, seconded 
by Dr. Groll, led the onslaught against the clay saucers. 
There were just three straights made in the 15-target 
events, Schorty getting two in a row and Dr Medler 
getting the other. u er 
it 1 alI ., m alI > ii? e t>°ys went away pretty well 
satisfied, with the exception of the kind of weather that 
was served up during the day.

l~WlO matter what you hunt or where you hunt, the answer to the 
Iki question “What rifle shall I take?” is—a Winchester. Winchester 
Repeating Rifles are made in ten different models for all styles of 
Ca T* g f S ’ from ,22 to *5° caliber. Whichever model you select, you 
will find it a hard, accurate and reliable shooter. Winchester Repeat¬ 
ing Shotguns have stood the trying practical tests of sportsmen and 
the rigid technical trials of the U. S. Ordnance Board. Their popu¬ 
larity with the former, and the official endorsement by the latter are 
convincing proof of their reliability, wearing and shooting qualities. 
If you want your equipment as perfect as possible, use Winchester 
guns for all your shooting and Winchester ammunition for all your 
guns. They are made for each other. & ■ & & §
