The Emerald Gun Club. 



The regular monthly shoot of the Emerald Gun Club was held 

 at Dexter Park on Tuesday, Oct. 18. Two elegant gold medals nre 

 placed in competition by the club. The classes Al and A striving 

 for the premier trophy, while classes B and C contended for the 

 other. Of the twenty and odd competitors of to-day in the differ- 

 ent classes of the Emerald Gun Club, the 30yds. men are desig- 

 nated as Class Al, Class A standing at 38yds., Class B at 26yds. 



and Class C at 21yds. irrespective of bore of gun. The Class Al 

 men have already each woa a Class A medal, and are therefore 

 handicapped the extra two yards in distance and must also win 

 the Class A trophy four times, to the 28yd8. men thrice in order to 

 retain it as personal property, the last winning necessitating the 

 use of the first barrel mostly, as the second barrel counts but one- 

 balf bird in the total. Messrs. Doemick, Remsen and Dr. Hudson, 

 of Class A, having won It twine each and Messrs. Voss and Schor- 

 temeier. Class Al, three times, each succeeding contest now becom- 

 ing of greater interest. As seen by tbe scores, ex-President Regan 

 shot out Nick Mapsel on the tie and retains the Class B medal. 

 All contestants excep'^ing Class C men shoot from five traps, un- 

 known trap to be pulled as designated by thtf Indicator. Class C 

 shoot from known traps and the scores generally show that all of 

 the members are properly handicaped. Thea taking under con- 

 sideration that the butt of the gun mu=t ha held strictly below 

 the elbow until the bird is oa the wing, a 70 per cent, average of 

 kills for the year is equal to fully 85 per cent, when shot under the 

 rules wnich allow the gun to be placed to the shoulder when call- 

 ing "pull." At the last Dexter Park trophy contest the team was 

 short five of their best man, the scores of that day showing the 

 Emeralds at the bottom of the list, but with the absent five of last 

 time, Messrs. Cassebeer, Elliott, Simpson, Knowlton and Quimby 

 in the team at the final contest for the trophies !on Nov. 15, the 

 Emerald Gun Club may do somewhat better than the elegauc ag- 

 gregate of 76 out of 100 their team scored the last time.

U. M. C. Shells. 



The Union Metallic Cartridge Co. send us the following ex- 

 tracts they have received from two noted shots: 



John Brewer, champion wing shot of the world, writes: "I 

 wish to show the American trap-shooters the advantage of using 

 IJ. M. C. 'Tran' shells. For close pattern, even distribution and 

 penetration, I do not think they are equaled by any other make 

 in the world. In the last 500 pigeons I shot at have used the above 

 gun cases, making an average of 98^^ out of WO.' ' 



We have also one from Mr. E. D. i ulf ord. under date Chica<''o, 

 Oct. 3, he writes: "I broke 198 out of 300 targets at the Gun Club 

 grotmds last week in a high wind with your 'Trap' shells."— 4d».

This treatise is written for that numerous class of sportsmen who delight in a day's 

 shooting, but have neither the time nor the means to make the sport a life's study. Published 

 at a popular price, it will, it is hoped, reach many who have hitherto been deterred from 

 shooting, behaving it to be an expensive recreation. The author's aim is to induce all who 

 can to participate in a manly sport, and to advance the interests of those who can look to the 

 gun for pleasure, health or occupation. The book is not written for experts, nor for those 

 who have special opportunities for the acquisition of the art of shooting; and in order to 

 make it as attractive as possible to the general reader, many matters which would- interest 

 the enthusiastic <hot only have been omitted.
