Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 26.—The appended scores 
were made at the traps ot the Hudson Gun Club this 
morning. There was a special race at 60 birds between 
C. Durkee and II. J. Burlinton, for a suitable purse, and 
was won by the latter with a score of 44 to 37. W. W. 
Emmons led a field of 34 shooters with high average of 
93 per cent., and was crowded pretty closely for the 
honor by D. D. Engle, who was second high with* 90 
per cent., scoring the only straight score for the day. 
Event Xo. 3 was the club prize handicap, with Hur¬ 
ling, Emmons, Thoben and H. Pape finishing with 6 
points each, enabling them to win a leg on the same. 
The morning was balmy and spring like, no wind to 
bother the flight of the targets, a good light—in fact, 
an ideal day for trapshooting, and with a jolly good 
bunch of old-timers, talking dog, snipe, ducks, the bags 
they used to get, and of the quantities of fish that they 
caught when they were boys (lies that would make 
Baron Munchausen turn green with envy), the day was 
passed very pleasantly. 
Schortey was using a double gun this morning, instead 
of his single-sticker. George Piercy has gotten over in 
the pump gun squad, and tried it out to day for the 
first time. Jack Williams was also flirting with a pump 
gun, but thinks that he will stick to the old gun with 
the choke shot out, and as they were all strange to 
them, their scores suffered accordingly. Harry Burling¬ 
ton thinks that he will get back to a double gun again. 
We shoot again on Sunday, March 12, and invite all 
trapshooters to come over to our grounds and see some 
classy shooting, or if you feel like getting in the game 
you are welcome. Take the Turnpike car and get off at 
the Hackensack River bridge. Ask anybody you meet 
where the grounds are situated, or look north to the 
D. , L. & W. R. R. bridge, where you will see the Stars 
and Stripes flying to welcome you.

Haddonfield Gun Club. 
Haddonfiei.d, N. J., Feb. 20.—The Haddonfield Gun 
Club held a bi-monthly prize shoot on Saturday the 18th. 
The gunners were out in force. Capt. Cozens is down to 
earnest work, and has promised to have old-time shoots 
a«rain soon. The shoot was a success in every wav. 
Fred Holloway made the only straight score. Fred’s 
score did not count, as he styles himself an expert. To 
expedite the shoot ties were shot off on trap No. 2. 
The background on this trap is not so good, and as the 
light was failing, big scores could not be expected. 
Seasoned shooters like Peacock, Webster and Logan did 
remarkably well. Logan won out over C. Holloway and 
Pedlow for first prize. Webster did the nerviest shoot¬ 
ing of the day on shooting off the ties with Clark and 
Tompkins: he missed 2 targets in his first 5 and then 
ran straight, landing second prize, a fine silk umbrella. 
Clark was so hot on his trail he could not breathe until 
he fired his last shot. Biedeman, a new member and a 
consistent shot, took home with him a box of cigars, 
the third prize. H. Pierce with a liberal handicap won 
fourth. Heiss, Jr., landed in a safe place and was as 
much surprised as any one else when informed he had 
won fifth prize. Scores: 
Twenty-five targets, bird allowance:

The Angler’s Workshop 
RODMAKING FOR BEGINNERS 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A unique work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and the experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his 
own ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information 
gathered by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in 
fishing, tournament casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates 
.not at all. He tells ‘‘the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way 
that makes results certain. All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; 
to tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament 
fly-rods. Complete specifications of well known types are given, and the chapter 
on split bamboo rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever 
published. Indispensable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid, $i.

ANGLING MEMORIES 
Seasonable Books for the Sportsman’s Library 
MEN I HAVE FISHED WITH 
MY ANGLING FRIENDS 
Both by FRED MATHER 
These two volumes are a source of endless delight to the fisherman. 
They 
deal with every phase of the gentle sport from bent pins and willow poles to 
salmon flies and special rods—with every kind of fish as well. 
They are full of a quaint philosophy, written with a rare appreciation of human 
nature, and comprising sketches of angling “characters” as well as well-known men 
who were Mr. Mather’s brethren of the angle. Much of other sport and adventure 
beside fishing will be found between the covers of these books. These two large, 
splendidly bound, splendidly printed, and richly illustrated volumes of 400 pages 
each regularly sell for $2 each. While they last we offer 
Both together, postpaid, for $3.00
