Hudson Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., July 3.—The attendance was very 
poor at the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson 
Gun Club this morning, only eight taking part in to¬ 
day’s program, owing to a majority of our members 
taking advantage of the double holiday and seeking 
the mountains and seaside for cool and rest. 
The morning was intolerably hot, with very little 
breeze stirring, and the only one of the bunch that 
seemed to enjoy the hot spell was Dr. Groll, who used 
his bathing suit as a shooting costume, and while not 
at the traps was always found in the surf cooling off 
just east of the club house. 
The club steward had a freezer of pure home-made 
ice cream, and several quarts of fresh picked straw¬ 
berries, from our own vines, for refreshments this 
morning, which were enjoyed by all hands present. 
High gun honors went to the veteran Lou Schortey 
with 89%, Von Broeckman being the runner up with 
84%, the rest trailing after them with very few points 
difference. 
Doc. Groll says that he has solved the problem at last 
how to hold to break them, and that all the club mem¬ 
bers had better “attend to their knittings” as he in¬ 
tends to issue several challenges in the near future, 
so beware boys. 
Be a god sport Doc., you broke 80 today, and with 
a new gun, too. After you get better used to it we 
can all see our finish.

REPEATING RIFLE _ v , 
You can buy 
no better gun for tar¬ 
get work and all small game 
up to 200 yards. Without change 
of mechanism it handles .22 short, 
long or long-rifle cartridges, perfectly. The 
deep Ballard rifling develops maximum power 
and accuracy and adds years to the life of rifles. 
The solid top is protection from defective cartridges—prevents 
powder and gases from being blown back. The side ejection 
never lets ejected shells spoil your bead and allows quick, accurate 
repeat shots. With simple take-down construction, removable 
action parts—least parts of any .22 - it is the-quickest and easiest 
to clean. A great vacation rifle. Ask any gun dealer.
