FOREST AND STREAM. 

IN NEW JERSEY. 
Jackson Park Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Feb. 10.—Weather conditions above 
head were ideal; platform dry and house good and 
comfortable. The big shoot was a great success. Every- 
thing worked to perfection, even the famous magau- 
trap, which has been in constant use for several years, 
was on its best behavior. After many failures on the 
part of the secretary to induce the company to replace 
the machine with a new one, or one of the latest model, 
the club gave orders for a complete overhauling, with 
the above result, and I must say that there were no 
complaints heard during the afternoon. The old war 
horse, as we call it, ground them out with the aid of 
that hard-working ground keeper, Arthur Crooks, who 
has had charge of the machine since its arrival in 
Paterson, to the tune of over 2,500, and had plenty of 
time for several hundred more before dark. Owing 
to the heavy conditions of the roads last week, Mr. G. 
A. Hopper was unable to deliver more at the grounus, 
and as a consequence we ran short of targets with an 
entry list calling for 500 more, which was declared off 
at about 4:45 with everybody well satisfied with the 
afternoon’s sport, which was of a very high class, 
especially that of the professionals, Messrs. Heer, Butler, 
Elliott, Fanning and Welles. 
The bright and particular star among them was Wm. 
Heer, who seemed to fall right in love with the at- 
tractive grounds, and as soon as guns could be got 
ready among the first arrivals, the ball was started, 
and from the way Heer smashed the first 10, and then 
15, it was seen that there was a great treat in store 
for those to come. They certainly did come, for it was 
the largest crowd ever in attendance at a target shoot 
before. There were at least thirty shooters there during 
the shooting after 3 o’clock who did not bring their 
guns out with them, and were satisfied to witness the 
work of the professionals, which was of the finest they 
ever saw before, and they one and all lavished praise on 
those who have worked for the success of this shoot, 
Messrs. Morgan, Hopper and Dutcher, who were busy 
entertaining and loaning their guns to any one who 
wanted to shoot. 
Dutcher had things moving with very little delay 
during the afternoon, taking entries, squad hustling and, 
in fact, was everywhere during the shoot. 
Mr. J. J. Powers refereed during most of the shoot. 
Messrs. Radcliff and the Sindle boys, Harry and Fred, 
looked after the scoring. 
Mr. Jack Fanning refereed the team match between 
the North Sides and Jacksons, which was fought to a 
finish, the Jacksons winning, 91 to 88. 
The light of the sun on the snow had a bad effect 
on a good many of the shooters, especially in the team 
contest. 
Most of the old shooters were agreeably surprised 
during the early shooting by the appearance in the 
club house of the once famous shooter, Capt. Albert 
Money, and a Mr. Porter with their guns and shells, 
and after congratulations all around, were soon ready 
to shoot, and were with us to the end, holding their 
own with the best of them. 
Passaic was represented by Count Lenone, Clickner, 
Van Tassel. 
Hackensack was represented by four gentlemen whose 
names I cannot recall, and were well pleased. 
North Caldwell Club was represented by several of its 
members. 
The Mount Pleasant Club had out several members 
who took part in the shooting. The North Side had 
out a large number of members who came out to witness 
the team contest and the work of the expert men and 
seemed well pleased. 
Everybody seemed to have come out to see that great 
expert, Wm. Heer, who gave a wonderful exhibition 
of ease and graceful shooting during the afternoon, 
succeeding in eclipsing anything ever seen here before. 
He broke 154 out of 155 targets. Harry Welles, J. A. 
R. Elliott and Jack Fanning were doing great execution 
also during the afternoon, demonstrating their guns and 
ammunition to plenty of attentive spectators. Frank 
Butler was on the go all the afternoon, trying to shoot 
and answering a thousand and one different questions. 
The team was as follows:
