Independent Gun Club. 
Holmesburc Junction, Pa., April 9. —H. E. Perry, 
captain of the Highland Gun Club, was the individual 
star of the monthly shoot of the Independent Gun Club 
yesterday, and captured the handsome silver and cut-glass 
prize ottered as a trophy for the high gun. It was not 
without a keen struggle that Perry won, for in the big 
crowd out were some of the best trapshooters in Phila¬ 
delphia as _ W'ell as New Jersey. Perry, Joel Davis, 
Frank J. Hineline, of Camden, and Dr. W. fi. Mathews, 
of 1 renton, all tied at 100, that they reached this goal 
being due to their handicaps. Perry had 18 added birds 
on the 100 targets; Hineline, 10; Davis, 20; Mathews, S. 
In the first shoot-off Davis and Hineline were elimin¬ 
ated, Perry and Mathews again tying up with a straight 
w r ith handicap. In the second shoot-off, Perry won, 23 to 
21. It w'as in this latter that Perry displayed his best 
work under particularly trying conditions. He ran 21 
straight before missing a target, and with the prize 
clinched, he could afford to take it easy, although he 
tried hard to break straight. 
The monthly program yesterday called for four 25- 
target events, distance handicap and added targets, and 
so well were both arranged that the shoot was interesting 
from the time the first man took his stand at the traps 
until the last man finished his shooting. The scores:

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., April 9.—There was a slight fall¬ 
ing off in attendance at the regular bi-monthly club shoot 
of the Hudson Gun Club tbis morning, owing no doubt 
to the snow-and-rain-storm of the day previous, and the 
thirty-four shooters that did attend had to contend with 
conditions of the worst kind. With cold winds to chill 
the shooters, snow to dazzle the eyes, and a gale blow¬ 
ing, which caused the targets to cut up all kinds of 
antics, the shooting was very hard, and accounts for only 
twelve scores of 20 or better being made out of the 145 
recorded. 
Event No. 2 was the Du Pont trophy handicap, and a 
leg on the same was won by Billy O’Brien. No. 3 was 
the Western Cartridge Co. trophy, Wright, Leary and 
Carl Von Lengerke each winning legs with 23. Event 
No. 4 was for the Emmons trophy, and with a score of 
21 from the 19yd. mark, D. D. Engle carried off a neat 
little loving cup. Engle was also high gun for the day 
with 79 per cent., Billy O’Brien being the runner-up 
with 76 per cent. 
On our next shooting date, April 23, we will start the 
second of the series of prize events, that have become 
so popular at our club, and we request all that wish to 
take part in these events to attend our next shoot on 
the above date. Our annual spring tournament will take 
place some time next month, details of which will be 
furnished later. 
Everybody is welcome to shoot at the Hudson grounds, 
so come out and see us. Hot lunch served gratis.

Secretary. 
Hudson Valley Rod and Gun Club. 
Glens Falls, N. Y.—On Saturday, April 29, we shall 
hold our fifth annual tournament, registered, under the 
Squier money-back system, and judging from the num¬ 
ber of inquiries which have already been received, the 
shoot will be well attended. The idea of the Squier 
system is meeting with much favorable comment among 
our fellows, and many of them say that they will now 
shoot the program through, whereas before they would 
drop out just as soon as they begun to go bad. 
In addition to the regular program of 150 targets we 
shall put on a merchandise event of 25 targets, added 
target handicap, and a double event at 10 pairs, a total 
of 195 targets. Fifteen nice prizes, valued at $75, have 
been secured for the merchandise event, and more may 
be added, while a handsome vase will be given the 
winner of the double target event. 
We shall use the old grounds probably for the last 
time at this tournament, as it is our intention to move 
the club house and trapshooting outfit about May 1 to 
the grounds connected with the rifle range which is 
located just north of the city on the trolley line, where 
every Saturday afternoon for the rest of the season the 
boys can use the shotgun or rifle, as they prefer, and 
still have the advantage of the same club house, which 
will be much more convenient in every way. The 
present grounds are ideal for a tournament and have 
been shot over so much that it feels like home, so that 
it is with a feeling of regret that we give them up, but 
as there is no chance to lay out a rifle range there, the 
change has to be made, as a number of our members 
are deeply interested in rifle shooting. 
V e shall tiy and give our friends a good time this 
year, and shall be very glad to see all of the old faces 
as well as many new ones who like the trapshooting 
game, as we never run our tournaments to make money, 
but simply want everybody to have a good time and feel 
that they get the worth of their money while with us. 
Programs will be ready for mailing bv the 15th and 
will be mailed by the Secretary, J. A. Norton, Hudson 
rails, N. Y., upon inquiry.
