New Jersey State Sportsmen’s Association 
The New Jersey State shoot was held on the grounds 
of the Jersey City Gun Club, situated on the Plank road, 
between Jersey City and Newark. The broad expanse of 
meadow furnished a good background for shooting. 
Three sets of traps were used, so that the programme 
was carried through quickly, and an early finish was 
made each day. The attendance was small in compari¬ 
son with the possibilities of the great State of New 
Jersey, when the vast number of shooters who reside 
therein is considered. 
Mr. TI. H. Stevens acted efficiently as cashier. 
June 2 , First Day. 
There were sixty-one shooters who took part in the 
events of the day. There were nine events at 20 targets, 
$1.40 entrance, $5 added, except in event 9, which had 
$10 added. Event 5 was for the three-man Slate cham¬ 
pionship, 30 targets, $3 entrance, members to be residents 
of the State for a period of not less than 30 days prior 
to the tournament. The clubs they represent must be in 
good standing as members of the Association. Each 
shooter of the winning team was presented with a $5 
gold piece. This event was won by Messrs. Truax, Mc¬ 
Clave and Ropes, the members of the North River Gun 
Club team Mr. Wm. M. Foord, of Wilmington, Del., 
made high amateur average for the day, 148 out of 160. 
Mr. J. S. Fanning made high professional average, 149. 
Pleasant weather prevailed during the day, as indeed it 
did throughout the three days of the tournament. All
