Did anybody fail to hear Jno. W. Garrett’s long-drawn- 
out yell. Come back, and he will do it over again. It’s 
worth going to Denver shoot just to hear this yell. 
Mr. A. Ford Dickey of Morgantown, who handled 
the cashier’s office, was “some busy” and says these 
big shoots are - . Mr. Jacobs also assisted materially. 
The traps worked perfectly under the direction of C. 
North, but to Frank Coogle the greatest credit should 
be given for they were in perfect working order when 
Charlie came on the ground. When it comes to know¬ 
ing the Leggett trap, Coogle has lessons to give- the man 
who invented it. 
If anyone had a kick coming, he forgot to register it 
before "leaving, for never was a shoot run with any less 
dissension than this one, and the management wishes 
to thank the shooters for the assistance they gave in 
making this shoot the success it was. 
George Lilley, always the same George, recited his 
favorite piece, “Out on the Deep, or, Am I a Backstop 
for the Ocean,” which was much appreciated by all. 
One of the pleasant features of the shoot was the 
time in which it was run off. On each day, the shoot¬ 
ing began at 9 o’clock and the last event was run off 
by 3.30, and we allowed the boys time to eat. There 
could have been 20,000 more targets trapped each day, 
and not hurried us at all. 
Mr. 'McMannis, manager DuPont Company, Pitts¬ 
burg, was on the grounds with Billy Lyons, but did not 
shoot. 
Some good advice was given E. H. Taylor, who was 
running the shoot, by Joe Hunter, of Washington. When 
Taylor was smashing the birds up fine, Joe advised 
him, not to use so many shot on one target, for he would 
soon need some for the others, and he did. 
While the W. Va. State shoot is closed to outsiders, 
we wish to say that the Fairmont Gun Club believes in 
the open door and we will give another shoot, either 
this fall or in the spring, open to the world; and if you 
who were here, believe we can run a shoot, come back; 
and should you be good enough to win our money, it’s 
yours and welcome. 
It was much regretted that the Hon. F. C. Percival, 
president of the Association, was unable to be present, 
being detailed at Casey, Ill., where he has many oil 
interests. No shoot in W. Va. is complete without Mr. 
Percival.

Plainfield Gun Club. 
The Plainfield N. J., Gun Club held its albday Silver 
shoot on June 21. Twenty-three (skidoo) shooters faced 
the traps.. The threatening weather in the morning un¬ 
doubtedly kept away some of the out of town shooters. 
George Piercy won the'$3.00 in cash, offered for high 
amateur. 
Capt. Travers of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., was a welcome 
visitor, although he was somewhat late in arriving, 
caused by the missing of a train at Jersey City and the 
stupidity of a local cabman who drove him four miles 
out of the way. 
The G. A. II. accounted for the slim attendance of 
professionals. However, the shoot was a success and 
the club extends its thanks to all who attended. Scores:

IN EVERY EVENT 
At the Grand American Handic&p Tournament 
This great victory for Winchester Factory 
i Loaded Shells and Winchester Repeating 
Shotguns under most trying weather con- 
* ditions tells a convincing story of wonderful 
marksmanship, and stamps Winchester 
shells and guns as being as near perfect 
as brains and ingenuity can make them.
