Hudson Valley Rod and Gun Club. 
Glens Falls, N. Y.—April 29 we held our fifth annual 
registered tournament, and it proved to be a success in 
every way. The Squier money-back system was used to 
advantage in our one day shoot, and proved to be as 
good here, as it could have been in a two or three day

day shoot. Both our boys and the visitors were very 
much pleased with it. A glance at the scores, which are 
appended, will show conclusively how well the system 
held the fellows for the entire program. This is very 
gratifying to both the club and the office force. 
Forty shooters took part in the tournament, many from 
Amsterdam, Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Utica and 
Mechanicsville being seen on the firing line. The day 
was as nearly perfect as it could be, so that scores, as 
a rule, were good. A slight wind in the afternoon got 
under the targets and fooled some of the boys; but on 
the whole, there was little about which one could com¬ 
plain. The double event proved to be a good drawing 
card, and more than one shooter made a good start only 
to find a lot of ciphers in his score about the time he 
had waded half way through. Warnick’s 18 out of a 
possible 20 was unbeatable, however, and he carried 
home the cup, although Witt was a close second, having 
15 birds chalked up to his credit. 
Seventeen targets were put up in the merchandise 
event at 25 targets, added target handicap, and the 
shooting was lively. For some unaccountable reason 
many of the best here met their Waterloo. The first 
prize, a handsome gold watch was carried home by 
Bowler; Witt copped the leather traveling bag; and the 
many other valuable awards were divided among the 
lucky men. 
George Ginn and W. Harold Adamson were in their 
accustomed places, and handled the office work in fine 
shape.

Lesfer German Smashes the Record 
To show their appreciation of his visit to Pittsburg, 
the Herron Hill Gun Club put on an impromptu shoot 
at their grounds on April 26. The program called for 
100 targets. Mr. German shot a few practice targets, 
and started in with an unfinished run of 27; he then 
went through the five 20-target events without a miss, 
and as he was breaking targets in splendid time, the 
eleven other contestants persuaded him to go on for a 
record. Without any fuss, he went ahead breaking string 
after string of 20s straight until he drew a high one on 
his 321st target. The breeze down the island gave this 
target an ugly jump upward, and he undershot it. 
Three hundred and twenty straight is a new record for 
the Eastern and Southern States. No score like this has 
ever been made in Pennsylvania, and it is nearly 200 
targets better than any score ever made in Pittsburg. 
G. E. Painter also set a new amateur ground record, 
shooting along with Mr. German. He broke 129 without 
a miss,, and had several other runs of 60 or better. He 
broke 98 out of 100 in the program, making him high 
amateur for the day. 
All who were there will vouch for the fact that the 
targets were thrown between 45 and 50yds., and the 
angles were fully up to requirements. 
Shooting conditions were perfect. The light was good, 
and up to the last 40 targets there was hardly a breath of 
air blowing. The scores:

Starting in 1904, Lester German took up the target 
game, and from the start the training he had in shoot¬ 
ing them over the pan marked him for a comer in this 
new game. During 1905 he won quite a number of first 
averages, but in 1906 he cleaned up all the amateurs 
starting at the Grand American. Then he quickly 
followed by winning the amateur average at the Eastern 
Handicap, Virginia State shoot, Atlantic City, and the 
big Cincinnati shoot, where he defeated both amateurs 
and professionals. This was his last appearance as an 
amateur. He then shot as a Du Pont man, winning the 
Du Pont trophy from 20yds., defeating a field of 200 
of the country’s best shots. 
At Cleveland, April 2, he set a new mark on double 
targets, breaking 96 out of 100. On Oct. 17 he won the 
Paul North trophy. In this race only the ten high pro¬ 
fessionals of the United States were eligible. 
During 1910 Mr. German broke 100 straight or better 
fifteen times, breaking 222 at the Southern Handicap at 
Columbus, Ga. This was the longest run made in any 
Interstate Association tournament last year. 
So far this vear he holds the long-run records, break¬ 
ing 156 and 252 straight at Galveston, Tex., breaking 
the entire last day’s program without a miss. 
Starting in at the New York Athletic Club shoot, Mr. 
German won high professional average and repeated this 
performance at Baltimore and at the Keystone shot at 
Philadelphia. 
The Fred Macaulay Business Men's Gun Club. 
Newark. N.J., May 3. —Nineteen gunners faced the firing 
line in the weekly shoot of the Fred Macaulay Business 
Men’s Gun Club, held yesterday afternoon over the 
club’s traps. While the weather was not exactly ideal for 
trapshooting, the marksmen turned in very creditable 
tallies. During the afternoon exactly 2850 white targets 
were thrown from the traps. 
Chris. Feigenspan was high gun of the day. Out of 
the 220 birds that he fired at, he was credited with a 
kill of 205. Neaf Apgar and Louis Colquitt were the 
only gunners who were credited with a perfect string 
of 25 kills. B. M. Shanley, Jr., J. Thompson and Frank 
Million shot well.
