TRAP-SHOOTING AT MODERATE COST 
has been enjoyed by users of PETERS SHELLS for a number of years. It was the Peters Cartridge Co. which led the way by putting on 
the market the improved “Target” and “High Gun” Shells, made with steel reinforcing in the head and rim —“steel where steel belongs.” 
These loads afford the shooter, at low cost, all the advantages of high priced goods of other makes, and then some. In addition to “steel 
where steel belongs" they have outside brass of increased height; contain the same selected materials as Peters higher-priced shells, the “Ideal” and 
“Premier”; are made with the same extreme care, on the same special machinery and by the same ammunition experts. It is therefore not 
surprising that the “Target” (bulk smokeless) and “High Gun” (dense smokeless) are superior in quality and produce superior results. 
Attention is called to the following recent

Berlin Gun Club Tournament. 
Ocean Ctty, Md., July 24.—The Ocean city tourna¬ 
ment of the Berlin Gun Club, finished to-day under the 
management of H. L. Worthington, after a most success¬ 
ful four days’ shoot. Attendance was not quite what we 
expected, but this was more than made up by the de¬ 
lightful time spent by everyone attending. We had the 
most delightful weather, and this coupled with the many 
other attractions, made the meeting one long to be re¬ 
membered by those who were fortunate enough to at¬ 
tend. The headquarters of the shooters was at the 
Atlantic Hotel, directly on the beach, and the excellent 
appointments and splendid service of this modern 
hostelry did much to make the affair enjoyable. The 
traps were placed at the end of the board walk, a mile 
up the beach, and this seemed to be the only draw¬ 
back, if it can be called so, to the whole shoot. It was 
a good thing for the rolling chair men. This difficulty, 
however, will be overcome in next year’s tournament, 
arrangements having already been made to hold the 
shoot on the beach, directly in front of the Atlantic 
Hotel, which will make a most convenient and pleasant 
feature. 
The Ocean City Handicap, which was shot at Satur¬ 
day, July 19, was a hotly contested affair for the Atlantic 
Hotel trophy, and was won by S. O. S. Graham, of 
Baltimore, and his score was 93 out of 100, from 18yds. 
He was closely pushed by V. Oliver, of Philadelphia, 
with 91. Mr. Graham won the trophy and Mr. Oliver the 
gold scarf pin as second prize. Billy Joslyn, of Du 
Pont Co., ran away with the professionals with 93. 
Monday, at 2 o’clock, the shooting was again re¬ 
sumed, and the Berlin Handicap was contested, and to the 
great pleasure of the shooters and spectators, John Philip 
Sousa won with the good score of 94 from 18yds—a more 
popular win has not been made this season, and Mr. 
Sousa was congratulated on all sides for his fine shoot¬ 
ing. He was followed bv William Holland, of Baltimore, 
as runner-up with 92. Holland won the gold scarf pin 
as second prize. Chas. W. Tingle, of Berlin, Md., in 
his first tournament, broke 91, an excellent score under 
conditions. Emory Storr and Fred Slear, of the pro¬ 
fessionals, each broke 93. 
On Tuesday morning the regular program started at 
10:30. The first gun was fired by Ralph H. Reese, of 
Chesapeake, Md., who, by the way, made a very good 
score in this shoot and broke 137 out of 150. On this 
day Bill Joslyn again walked away with the field in the 
professional class with 143, and Chas. Newcomb, of 
Philadelphia, was high over all with 144. 
On the second day, Joslyn was again high profes¬ 
sional with 144, and Newcomb led the field with a 
splendid score of 147. On the first day V. Oliver, of 
Philadelphia, had a very bad start, with 7 targets down 
in his first 30, the balance he broke with one skip, and 
finished with 142; and on the second day he went 
through with 145. 
High average for the two days was won by New¬ 
comb with 291 cut cf 300. Oliver second with 287, and 
R. P. Morgan, of Nebraska third with 281. Billy Hol¬ 
land, of Baltimore, broke 176, and C. T. Hartin, of Wil¬ 
mington, Del., finished the program with the splendid 
score of 279. Martin was quite an addition to the shoot. 
lending a helping hand in every possible way, and his 
attendance was much appreciated. High average for all 
targets was won by Bill Joslyn, with a score of 467 out 
of 500, but he was topped by Billiken Oliver, amateur, 
who was high over all targets with 471. 
A canvass of all shooters attending, their wives and 
sweethearts, showed not a single knock. Everybody 
satisfied and had a bully time. It is a question if this 
was not the most enjoyable shoot which has been held 
this year, and we fee! that this was a nest egg for a 
more successful tournament for 1914, which will be held 
some time the latter part of July. H. L. Worthington 
has agreed to manage the prospected tournament, and 
the success of the 1913 afl'air augurs well for the 1914 
tournament. The scores follow:

Meadow Springs G. C. 
Meadow Springs. Pa., July 26.— Harry H. Sloan car¬ 
ried away all the ruddy duck at the monthly shoot of the 
Meadow Springs Gun Club to-day. He was tied for the 
high gun honors by Harry Fisher, of the Clearview 
Club, and won in the shootoff for the prize spoon, 23 to 
22 . 
The customary program of 100 targets in strings of 
10, 15 and three 25s, prevailed, the third and fourth events 
constituting the club shoot with the regular handicaps. 
The first two events served their purpose of warming the 
men up for the club prize, and this also was tied up 
between Sloan and Turner, each breaking 46. In the 
shootoff Sloan was the victor, breaking 24. For the total 
with handicaps on 50, Fish, Soley, Woodward, Colton 
and Hillpot were on even terms with 50. 
After a shootoff, Hillpot and Fish again tied, and 
they tossed for the trophy, Hillpot being the winner. 
Fish, however, came in for a dipper by being high on 
100, defeating Hillpot on the toss. Scores:
