Photographers were numerous at the Grand American 
Handicap, and also were busy. We feel sure that those 
taken by Mr. Harry Palmer, with a 4 by 5 Premo camera, 
published in the report of the Grand American Handicap 
last week were found specially interesting.

Mr. Arthur J. Reynolds, a veteran trapshooter of New 
Britain, Conn., and Mr. Ernest W. Reynolds, of New 
York, have applied for a patent on an improved 
target-throwing trap and carrier, which will rotate 
a target unfailing, will not break any targets in throw¬ 
ing, and will be a success in every particular. The trap 
will change its angles automatically, is loaded instantly, 
will throw targets any distance desired without changing 
the adjustments, and has great durability. It will be 
ready for the market in a short time.
