DEPENDABLE 
U. M. C. 
Cartridges 
There is a reason why U. M. C. 
Cartridges follow the moose hunter 
to New Brunswick, the bear hunter 
to the Rockies and the tiger hunter 
to the jungles of India. Always 
dependable for a true knock down 
shot, they are always found where 
there are guns and American sports¬ 
men. The new.35 Remington Auto¬ 
loading Rifle Cartridge, with 2,000 
feet velocity and a 200 grain bullet, 
is ready for the many shooters partial 
to this new and modern big game gun.

’Mr. J. K. Stan- writes as follows: “All arrangements 
have now been perfected for the holding of thd first 
eastern Pennsylvania amateur handicap championship at 
targets. The tournament will be shot over the traps of 
the Florists’ Gun Club at Wissinoming, Philadelphia, Pa., 
Dec. 20-21, and will be 'open only to residents of Phila¬ 
delphia, Delaware, Bucks, Chester and Montgomery coun¬ 
ties. A new feature is promised at this tournament, and 
it is one which should guarantee a very large entry from 
the Simon-pure amateur class. There will be no sweep- 
stake shooting or cash prizes. Two events are on the 
schedufe: a preliminary handicap, to be shot on Dec. 
20, and the eastern Pennsylvania amateur handicap 
championship, on Dec. 21. Each event will be at 100 
targets, unknown angles, handicaps, 14 to 21 yards; $2 
entrance. There will be a number of prizes for each 
event, with special trophies for the winners. A very 
large entry is expected, and as the management has de¬ 
cided to call for an advance entry, the lists will close 
Monday, Dec. 17. This will give the handicap committee 
ample time to examine each entry carefully and award 
the proper handicap. The tourney will be under the 
management of J. K. Starr, 221 N. Sixty-fifth street, 
Philadelphia, who will furnish all information and pro¬ 
grammes.”
