CHARLES L. DERING 



This is a picture of Charles L. Bering of Chicago. 

 Mr. Bering comes of a family of sportsmen. His father, 

 Mr. P. Frederick Bering, was in his day a crack wing 

 shot, as was his uncle, Captain Oscar M. Bering. Cap- 

 tain Bering back in the old days held a record of fifty 

 double rises on wild pigeons, a straight string of one 

 hundred birds. 



It is easy to see from this where his son, Guy V. 

 Bering, came by his shooting eye. Guy is well known 

 to trap shots all over the country, and is a Grand 

 American Handicap winner. 



Mr. C. L. Bering is not nmch on the trap shooting, 

 but he does enjoy the out-of-doors and the splash of the 

 old he-mallard at the crack of his 20-gauge is music in 

 his ears. 



Mrs. C. L. is quite handy with the *' gas-pipe" gun, 

 but admits growing a bit tender hearted as the years 

 pass — says she would rather look at them and take 

 their pictures than make them ready for the broiler. 

 Anyhow, golf is more Mrs. Bering's game; she was 

 twice Western champion, but like the rest of the family, 

 anything out-of-doors looks good to her. 



Mr. Bering is president of the Clear Lake Outing 

 Club on the Illinois River.
