Crescent A. C. Handicap Shoot. 
Bay Ridge, March 9.—The 100-target handicap event 
of the Crescent A. C., which was shot on the club’s 
grounds yesterday, was one of the most successful 
amateur shoots held in this vicinity this season. Sixty 
experts from New Jersey, Long Island and lower New 
York counties made up the field of participants, and it 
required some six hours of constant activity for com¬ 
pletion. A. Corlies, of the Crescent Club, with a handi¬ 
cap of 12, won the chief prize with a score of 94. Sec¬ 
ond prize was taken by Dr. Griffith, of the Bergen Beach 
Gun Club, and the third trophy was won by J. Jarvis, 
of the New York Athletic Club. In addition to the 
prizes offered by the club, Capt. H. \V. Dreyer put up 
a cup for the marksman who made the best straight run. 
It was taken by J. H. Hendrickson, of the Bergen 
Beach Gun Club, who broke 41 straight. The gunners 
shot in strings of 25. 
Several present and former champions were among 
the contestants, and one of them, John H. Hendrick¬ 
son, national title holder four years ago, returned the 
best scratch score of the shoot, breaking S8 clays out 
of 100. He was closely pressed for scratch honors by 
G. K. Kouwenhoven. champion of'Long Island, who 
turned in a card of 87. Mr. Hendrickson added another 
trophy to his collection by breaking 41 successive tar¬ 
gets, the best performance of the day. The scores:

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
■March 11 was a perfect spring day, and the pleasant 
weather brought out a nice bunch of shooters, fourteen 
taking part in the sport. Over 1100 targets were thrown 
during the afternoon, and that’s going some for this 
part of the State. Keplinger has been tied down to 
business for many weeks, but the “call of the clay” was 
too strong for him to-day, and he ran out just to shoot a 
few. Of course, he was heartily welcomed, and of 
course he shot at 100, making a nice score for one 
who was out of practice. Hammersmith is with us 
again, and has not forgotten how. He was high man in 
the last 100, and the only one to go straight in any of 
the 25 target events. He has his eye on the Kentucky 
State championship, which is shot on May 25, his birth¬ 
day, so that all the signs seem favorable, especially as 
he is good for a place in the nineties. Rugg came out 
for a breath of fresh air, and incidentally got 47 out of 
50. which is about the gait he used to travel when he 
was one of the regulars. De Mar was not in shooting 
form to-day, or fewer targets would have escaped. John¬ 
son shot at more targets than any one, but didn’t really 
strike his gait until the last 50, when he scored 92 per 
cent. Iloladay went out with a lower percent than 
usual. Dr. Leighner left his shooting eye at home to¬ 
day. It is very seldom he drops so many as he did this 
time. Welsh was trying a new gun: his score of 92 per 
cent, in the last 50 would indicate that it is about what 
he needs. Payne was not doing his best, his attention 
was divided between the traps and revolver range, which 
may have had something to do with his poor showing. 
Rhodes did very good work in the last two events, con¬ 
sidering that he has little practice, but he’ll do better 
before the summer is over. Jones will bear watching, 
he shot in only one event and broke all but the last 
target. Williams shoots so little that he cannot get 
ahead very much. We would be glad to see him every 
week, and are sure he would get nearer the head of the 
list. Smith and Frohligcr are generally so busy looking 
after the details of the shoot that they cannot do them- 
selves justice. When 
they hav 
e 
this 
tak 
en 
off 
their 
hands, their scores are 
very much 
better.

Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., March 10.—The week-end shoot 
of the Atlantic City Gun Club was well attended. The 
wind blew an 80-mile gale, and made targets go about 
80yds. in all directions and styles, consequently scores 
were not up to the ordinary. Scores: 
No. 9 was for the Du Pont trophy; No. 10, the Western 
trophy.

Gladney was high on both the Du Pont trophies; he is 
shooting in great form for a beginner. Deemer had a 
slump. Billy Smith, from Philadelphia, was down, but 
the wind had its effect on him. Cook came out with a 
surprise for the crowd, a new pump gun, and the way 
he powdered up targets with it in the gale was mar¬ 
velous. In the challenge race Howell had a walkover on 
Sheppard, breaking 31 to 28, and had a handicap of 8, 
which he did not have to use. Shep ran 14 out of the 
first 15, and then 14 out of the next 35. Something 
went wrong, I guess. Secretary.

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., March 12.—There was some noise 
at the traps of the Hudson Gun Club this morning, when 
the members assembled to indulge in their favorite pas¬ 
time at the regular bi-monthly shoot; seven and a half 
cases of shells and 3750 bluerocks were disposed of before 
the trapper boys were told to lower the Stars and Stripes 
and close up shop for the day, and when Billy Emmons 
finished the totaling of scores, it was found that L. 
Schorty, with S6 per cent., was the best shot for the 
morning, D. D. Engle being the runner up with an 
average of 85, and W. Emmons just one bird shy, finish¬ 
ing with 84 per cent. 
Event No. 3 was the club prize event, the winners 
being H. Pape, A. P. Lane and J. Putney, who each 
scored 6 points. Henry Pape was also the lucky 
shooter to win the Gilie trophy, he winning it from’ 
J. Putney, who had tied him for it, but lost out on a 
shoot-off miss-and-out. 
At the next shoot of the club, on March 26, the series 
for the Du Pont and Western Cartridge Co. trophies will 
commence. These will be handicap affairs, and all wish¬ 
ing to compete for them are requested to attend the next 
shoot; entrance for this event will be the price of targets. 
C. Durkee and H. Burlington had arranged to shoot a 
return match this morning, but Clarence did not show 
up; he must have seen some of the scores that Harry 
made at the Sportsmen’s Show in Madison Square Garden 
last week. 
Doc Groll has gone in the gunsmith business; he 
carries a bag full of tools to the grounds on every 
shooting day. 
D. B., the club chef, had his hair parted in the middle 
this morning, and looked real cute until he went to the 
traps and missed 4 straight. 
We hold our next shoot on March 26. Come and see 
body.

Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club. 
Danbury, Conn., March 6. —The first of the series of 
monthly shoots of the season under the auspices of the 
Pahquioque Gun Club were held at the Tamarack traps 
Saturday afternoon. The weather conditions were not of 
the best, as the glare of the sun interfered considerably 
with the shooters and a cold wind, which blew directly 
into their faces, was not conducive to high scores either. 
There were three principal events during the day, the 
team race between the Danbury and Bethel clubs’ five- 
man teams, the first leg in the Daley challenge cup and 
the beginning of the third leg in the Du Pont 1910 
trophy. 
The’ scores in the Dalv challenge cup contest were un¬ 
usually close up to the end of the first 30 targets, when 
W. E. Day was high with 25, and H. Judd had 24, C. K. 
Bailey 23, and William Thompson 22, while W. G. Olm- 
stead and F. Clark had 21 each. 
When the shooters took their places for the final 20 
birds of the contest, H. Judd rapidlv forced to the lead 
and made his score 42, winning the first leg for the cup. 
As soon as the scores were announced, Mr. Judd was 
challenged by \V. G. Olmstead, W. E. Day and R. H. 
Bennett to shoot for the trophy at the next shoot. 
The team race between the Danbury and Bethel teams 
was an unusuallv close one, the result being in doubt 
until the last, when the Pahquioque team won out by 
six targets. The scores in the team shoot follow, 59 
targets each: 
Pahquioque. Bethel.
