The return team match between the Fox Hills Gun 
Club, and the New York A. C. took place to-day, and 
resulted in another win for the Mercury-foot marksmen 
by 34 targets. The match at 100 targets per man, was 
shot under conditions all in favor of the targets. It 
was very cold, and there being a gale blowing across the 
traps, caused the bluerocks to soar and duck in the wild¬ 
est manner, the scores being highly creditable under 
the circumstances, especially that of Fred Hodgman 
of the home team, who broke 92 per cent. Scores fol¬

Hudson Valley Rod and Gun Club. 
Glens Falls, N. Y., April 4.—The annual meeting of 
the club was held Friday evening at the Hotel Cunning¬ 
ham, Sandy Hill, a large number of members from the 
three towns of Glens Falls, Sandy Hill and Fort Ed¬ 
ward being present. The following officers for the en¬ 
suing year were elected and will be installed May 1: 
President, A. D. Witt; Vice-President, C. F. Newell; 
Secretary, A. A. Norton; Treasurer, II. T. Brown; Asst. 
Secretary-Treasurer, L. R. deRoode; Field Captains, E. 
Wiltse and J. N. Ingalsbe; Trustees, R. deRoode, H. 
H. Clark, H. P. Cronkhite. 
The report of the Secretary and Treasurer showed the 
club to be in a very prosperous condition, and the out¬ 
look for the coming season is bright. During the year 
just passed we have been to considerable expense fitting 
up our grounds and building a new club house which is 
now finished and very complete in every way. Through 
the generosity of our shooters, however (over 50,000 
targets being trapped), we have been able to do these 
things without going in debt or making an extra assess¬ 
ment, which is very much appreciated by the officers. 
On Saturday, April 25, we hold our second annual 
tournament which will consist of eleven events—seven 
15- and four 20-target—with $2 added money to each 
event, and we shall also give $15 for high averages. 
Another feature of the tournament will be a team race 
for a substantial purse. As our grounds are located 
right on the main line of the trolley between the towns 
we are in position to' take care of the shooters very 
nicely. Programmes will be ready next week. 
F. B. Chapman, Sec’y.
