"The Sporting Life's Trapshooting Review of 1903," compiled 
and edited by Mr. Will K. Park, trap editor of Sporting Life, 
Philadelphia, appears this year much amplified in matter. Every- 
thing in the way of trapshooting records worth preserving is pre- 
sented in its forty-six pages. Names, addresses and averages of 
winners at tournaments, point winners, honor list, general aver- 
age figures, matches at flying targets and at live birds, long runs 
at targets and at live birds, winners of State championships, gen- 
eral important events, portraits of eminent shooters, etc., are to 
be found concisely set forth in its pages. It represents an in- 
finite amount of skillful research, and is invaluable as a record. 
A special to the daily press recounts that Mr. J. S. S. Remsen, 
of Brooklyn, N. Y., distinguished himself at Palm Beach, Fla., 
by killing 50 live birds straight, at 32 and 33yds. Varying, high 
winds helped the birds. The event occurred at a shoot of the 
Florida Gun Club, of which Mr. Remsen was elected president re- 
cently. Mr. Remsen is eminent in the competitive annals of the 
Crescent Athletic Club and the Carteret Gun Club, of New York. 
Other contestants who made superior scores were Dr. Isaac E. 
Emerson, Baltimore, 41 out of 42; W. Bingham, Cleveland, 36 out 
of 38; Dr. Daniel Karsner, Philadelphia, 34 out of 35; J. Jerome 
Kelley, New York, 31 out of 37. A large attendance of dis- 
tinguished visitors witnessed the competition. It took place last 
Saturday.
