being $ 5.75 for each 1000 targets trapped, as shown by the 
official score sheets of the tournament. At the figure 
named, the Columbus Gun Club will furnish traps, tar¬ 
gets, referees, scorers, squad hustlers, trappers and trap- 
pullers. 
Secretary-Treasurer Elmer E. Shaner, Pittsburg, Pa., 
writes us as follows: “We have received several in¬ 
quiries as to whether gun clubs holding registered tour¬ 
naments under our new policy were privileged to 
schedule other events in connection with the regular 
program furnished by us. For the benefit of all con¬ 
cerned, we would state that gun clubs and State associa¬ 
tions holding registered tournaments may schedule, in 
connection with the regular program furnished by us, 
any and all events they want, such as championship 
events, handicap events, double target events and extra 
events of any nature. They may also apply part or all 
of their own added money, if any is contributed, to said 
events, charge two cents for each target trapped and 
retain all of the proceeds. In other words, the Inter¬ 
state Association’s contribution and the Squier money 
back system applies only to the ten 15-target events of 
the regular program furnished by us.’’

Hell Gate Gun Club. 
New York, Jan. 28.—The eighteenth year of this active 
live-bird organization was inaugurated by the first con¬ 
test on Jan. 25, at their usual shooting grounds. Instead 
of shooting three monthly contests, each member now 
shoots at an aggregate of 30 birds, and the handicapping, 
both distance and point system, is figured in excess 
number of points made, the possible being 9 points, the 
member with a handicap of 21 must score 30 straight to 
obtain the maximum. Mr. Jos. Selg, at the minimum of 
12, scored 21, which gave him the highest total of 9 
points, thus winning the first prize for the day. The 
weather was delightfully mild and clear, some wind 
when the first-named five members shot their allotment, 
clouding up in the afternoon and becoming misty and 
dusk, denoting the approach of a storm. 
The birds were as fine a lot as ever were trapped, and 
the scores showed rather mediocre ability on the part of 
all the entries, though it must be noted that each man 
shot one yard back of his handicap, as the distance 
marks were so obliterated by the weather. The first 
squad shooting behind the mark, it was decided to con¬ 
tinue it to the end to make it fair for everybody. 
The evening before, when the pioneer contingent ar¬ 
rived, they repaired immediately to Lucky Straub’s 
sportsmen’s resort, where a menu of Chesapeake oysters, 
beans, Lehigh county sausages, ham and eggs, oystei 
pie and stews, steaks and mineral waters were severed 
with great eclat. 
On arrival at the Duck Farm Hotel the rest of the 
evening was spent in studying astronomy and pinochle, 
for it was a beautiful, clear night. 
Charley Lange ran out poorly on the club score, but 
his fifth, a double-back-action twisting-driver, was stopped 
with a well judged and long first barrel, and his 6 th, a 
long second, was commendable. 
Bandy’s 3d and 14th, and Schorty’s 3d, 5th, 6 th and 
15th were fast. „ . , , 
Jos. Selg’s 8 th and 14th, Voss’ 1st, 9th and 24th—par¬ 
ticularly the latter—were beautiful stops. 
Dannefelser’s 10th, 11th and 29th, Pete Garm s 11th, 
19th, 21st and 28th, Wellbrock’s 2d, 10th, 12th, 16th and 
19th; John Hughes’ 8 th, 14th, 15th and 27th were clever 
kills, and some of them at long distances, as John shoots 
slow. 
Phil Woelfei shot exceedingly well for the first attempt 
in three years; his 2d, 12th, 14th, 23d and 26th were 
good ones. 
John Klenk also appeared, the first time in a year, and 
he certainly made a record on drawing good birds, hav¬ 
ing no less than 6 hurricane drivers well negotiated and 
2 marked with an asterisk. , 
The three best kills for the day were Lange s bth, 
Voss’ 23d and Woelfel’s l4'th. 
Capt. Binnacle Scheubel, of the king-fishmg motor 
smack Ha Ha, was official bushwhacker; and he cer¬ 
tainly stopped a number outside the boundary and aug¬ 
mented the potpie. , , . 
Our guest, Mr. A. T. Meckel, made his first attempt 
at the birds and occasioned considerable excitement and 
fun among the members. 
Big apples, etc., were wagered galore on the result of 
each bird, and when he scored, a whoop went up from 
the winners that nearlv stopped the town clock. 
Schorty’s score created much hilarity in the extra event, 
particularly when he dropped 4 in a row, and he was 
advised to “sell your gun,” “getting old, “get good 
shooting glasses,” “back number” (which he acknowl¬ 
edged), John Wellbrock handing him a few of Danne¬ 
felser’s good shells to improve his score, etc. 
Messrs. Garms. Wellbrock and Klenk were high in 
this event, with 12 scored. 
The average scored to-day of the 545 shot at was low 
owing to the excellent quality of the birds supplied by 
Landlord Schaffer, and the extra yard handicap, only 
379 being scored, an average of less than 70 per cent. 
Our next shoot takes place in March.

The Fred Macaulay Business Men’s Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., Jan. 28.—More than three hundred 
gunners and their admirers and lovers of the trapshooting 
sport were on hand at the traps of the Fred W. Macau¬ 
lay Business Men’s Gun Club, at the Speedway yester¬ 
day afternoon to see the match between Frank Mihlon 
and Henry C. Koegel. The latter came out victor in 
the 100 bird handicap event by defeating Mihlon by an 
actual score of 91 to 75. The latter, however, had 
an 8 bird handicap, and the final score read: Koegel 
91, Mihlon 83. Although the day was not an ideal one 
for trapshooting, thirty-six gunners faced the traps 
and turned in some good scores. 
The match was shot in strings of 25 birds, and the 
first quarter of the match was shot in the tenth squad 
that faced the firing line for the day, while the rest of 
the match was shot in the eleventh, thirteenth and four¬ 
teenth squads. In the first part of the .match Koegel 
killed 22 birds out of 25, while Mihlon killed all but 6 . 
In the second string, Koegel increased his lead by 
smashing 23, which was 3 more disks than his rival sue* 
ceeded in breaking. ^Iihlon smashed 22 bluerocks in the 
third string, but Koegel went him one better, while in 
the last 25 the captain of the club missed eleven times, 
while Koegel hit all but two of the saucers thrown from 
the traps. Besides winning the match, Koegel tied with 
Firm Bissett for high individual average, while Phil 
Coffin was third high man of the day. Neaf Apgar was 
high gun among the professionals, smashing 95 out of a 
possible 100 birds. , 
The local gunners will go to South River on lhurs- 
day, Feb. 2, to shoot an eight-man match against the 
South River Gun Club. The match calls for each man 
to shoot at 100 birds. The local marksmen will make 
the trip in automobiles. The scores follow:

Hud son Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 29,-There were thirty-nine 
shooters who took part in to-day’s program. 
the Hudson Gun Club regular bi-monthly club shoot, 
and they kept banging away at the bluerocks until the 
rain put a stop to the game. The only straight score 
to-day was made by Billy O’Brien, who also shared 
high gun honors* with D. D. Engle with 86 per cent, 
and won the trophy that our baker friend, L. Gille so 
generously donated at our club snoots. 
S Jim Leary and Harry Burlington had it out at the 
traps this morning, to decide which was the best shot. 
Leary had 6 birds the best of it on the 43d round, and 
Burlington withdrew from the race, vowing vengeance 
on a certain trade representative, who had taken his 
sausage machine in mistake for his own at a 
they both attended the day previous. There was also a 
team race between three members of the Clarendon Gun 
Club and three members of the Hudson Gun Club. 1 ne 
Secausus boys were the victors by 12 birds, and as each 
club has a victory won, this being the second match 
shot between them, it was decided to shoot the deciding 
race at the Clarendon grounds in Secaucus, N. J., at an

President Fred Macaulay, 
club, while at the traps 
the standard-bearer of the 
uu „, while at the traps with several other members 
the following morning after the shoot was surprised at 
the appearance of a beautiful full-grown deer, coming on 
a full run down Speedway avenue toward the gun club; 
its tongue was hanging out of the side of its mouth 
and its tail was whipping up and down at every jump. 
It looked frightened to death as it saw us. It stopped 
and jumped the 6 ft. sword-pointed fence of the Speedway, 
crossed just south of the judges’ stand and bounded the 
fence on the other side with apparently as much ease 
as a boy would throw a stone over a house. It rested 
a few moments in the brush, while people who saw it 
ran for ropes and other things to try and capture it with, 
when along came a dozen boys, following the track in 
the snow, and they had with them setters pointers, fox- 
terriers and muts of all kinds. They started the deer 
again, and he went over fences, through back yards and 
up through the fields toward the Orange Mountains. A 
man on a wagon for the Public Service Company said
