The ‘‘Ross” 280 , known as the 
“High Velocity” “Ross” is the 
most powerful sporting rifle sold 
Its muzzle velocity of over 3000 feet per second 
gives it a very flat trajectory and great power 
to anchor game at all distances. This rifle, which took the gald medal at Allahabad in 1910, sells for less 
than the best English makes, which it nevertheless equals in finish and surpasses in performance. 
If you seek a really fine and thoroughly up-to-date rifle look up the nearest “Ross” agent or write for illus¬ 
trated booklet and full information which we send free on request. 
Ross .280 Sporting Cartridge with copper tube expanding bullet (patented) sells at $7.50 per 100—its stopping 
power and range are marvellous.

Red Hook G C. 
Red Hook, N. Y., July 5.— Eight entries for the 
Stevens trophy shot the full program. The contest was 
close. C. B. Hoffman and B. R. Horton were tied at 
the finish, Hoffman winning on the shoot off with 21 to 
20 . 
The club wil! hold its annual tournament on Aug. 
20. At that time an effort will be made to get the 
clubs of the Hudson River towns to form a trapshooting 
league. It is hoped that the clubs can be made to see 
that it would be to their advantage to form a league, as 
they would get some recognition from the Interstate 
Association. The Du Pont Co. has offered to donate a 
trophy if the league is formed. So to take it all to¬ 
gether, it would insure a better attendance at the tourna¬ 
ments and the promotion of good fellowship.

Thirteen shooters were at the weekly shoot of the 
Birmingham Gun Club. Ed. Cornell shot high, followed 
by H. C. Ryding. 'The wind was blowing, which 
caused the targets to have very erratic flights. The 
Ensley Club was represented by Mr. Blalock who is 
improving in his shooting very nicely for a beginner. 
Scores were made as follows:

One of the largest crowds of shooters which have 
faced the local traps this season was present at the week¬ 
end shoot, held on the club grounds on Saturday after¬ 
noon, July 12, and considering the constant heavy wind 
that swept the grounds during the entire shoot, some 
splendid scores were made. 
The club is now actively engaged in preparing for 
the coming State tournament, which is to be held on 
local grounds on Labor Day, and the day following. 
Sept. 1 and 2. 
The weekly trophies offered by the club were won 
by the following members:

Class B—J. Cassell. Jr., first; H. R. Cox second.

Norfolk—Portsmouth G. C. 
Portsmouth, Va., July 7. —The Fourth of July shoot 
held by the Norfolk-Portsmouth Gun Club was the 
largest in the life of the club. Thirty-one contestants 
competed for the prizes, and some excellent scores 
were made. Richardson and McCloskey tied on 90 per 
cent, for best general average, which will be shot off 
next shoot. 'The longest run of the afternoon was made 
by Gunther, 59, in the latter events. 
The club greatly enjoyed the presence of a number 
of visitors from the Fort Munroe and Newport News 
gun clubs, and hopes they will come again soon. Fol¬ 
lowing are the scores:

shooters away from the usual weekly shoot of the Nor¬ 
folk-Portsmouth Gun Club, held on the 10th inst. The 
crowd, though small, made the best scores as an average 
of any shoot of the season. Richardson was in fine 
form, and broke 49 out of 50 in the club shoot, also shot 
off the Fourth of July tie with McCloskey, and won, for 
the best general average on that date. 
The club scores at 50 targets, were: Richardson 49, 
Gunther 48, Davis 47, Gallagher 46, McCloskey 45, White 
45, Capt. Easton 41, Talbot 41.
