A prominent New York State trapshooter, when he 
heard that there was some doubt as to whether the 
Westy Hogans would give their annual target shoot at 
Atlantic City this year, said: “Oh, very well, then I 
will get- my trip to Europe this year. Do you know,” 
he said, “for six years I have denied myself the pleas¬ 
ure of an ocean voyage and a tour of Europe just so I 
could be with the Westy Hogants at their shoot in At¬ 
lantic City. Any other time of the year would not suit 
me to go to Europe, and I guess the Westy Hogans 
have found that any other time of the year would be the 
wrong time for them to hold their shoot.” When he 
was told at the Eastern American Handicap in Wilming¬ 
ton, a few weeks ago that the Hogans had fully decided 
to shoot this year, he was ready to make his entry for 
the week right then and there. 
The thirteenth annual tournament of the Dominion 
of Canada Trapshooting Association will be held under 
the auspices of the Hamilton Gun Club (Inc.) on Aug. 
11, 12, 13 and 14, and the Association has every reason 
to expect that it will be the most successful shoot ot 
the Association. 
Trapshooting has become so exceedingly popular the 
past few years that the Association has very materially 
added to its membership, and many new faces and clubs 
will be seen at the forthcoming tournament. The Ham¬ 
ilton Gun Club has been of great assistance to the As¬ 
sociation in promoting the gentlemanly pastime in On¬ 
tario, and it has endeavored to make the 1913 program 
an attractive one in every way, and hopes to have its 
efforts appreciated by the largest attendance of members 
in the history of the Association. 
The tournament will be held at the Hamilton Gun 
Club Park, which is second to none, the background 
being absolutely clear, facing Hamilton Bay, and the 
accommodation for four sets of traps, tents for the 
members and space for the spectators is perfect.

Western Conn. Trapshooters’ League. 
Danbury, Conn., July 26. —The registered tournament 
of the Western Connecticut Trapshooters’ League, at the 
Tamarack range to-day was the largest ever held under 
the auspices of Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club, as well 
as the largest ever held in New England. One hundred 
and thirty-one shooters took part in the entire program, 
during which 20,000 targets were thrown. 
Among the amateurs who were fighting for first 
place were. F. W. Putnam, of Fitchburg, Mass., who 
was third high gun at the Eastern Handicap; R. von 
Boeckman, of New York city; W. R. Newsome, of 
Hartford; A. L. Chamberlain, of New Haven, and C. W. 
Stevens, of Danbury. This is the first tournament the 
league has held at which a shooter from outside the 
State has carried off the high score. Putnam had to go 
some to win, with 144 out of a possible 150, as Newsome 
and Chamberlain had 142 each. 
There was an exciting race between the profes¬ 
sionals, C. G. Spencer, Dr. Funk and Gil Wheeler. Dr. 
Funk broke his last string straight, while Spencer lost 
one, giving Funk the high score with 145 out of 150; 
Spencer 144, and Wheeler 143. 
Wheeler, Sibley, Hammond, Stevens and Keller, all 
made clean scores in the seventh event. 
Among the women shooters, Jesse Thorps was high, 
breaking 107 out of 150. Laura Boles was second with 
93; Mrs. F. F. Rogers third with 90, and Miss Brown 
fourth with 85. 
Another feature was the shooting of H. H. Bierce, 
who shot alongside his father, using a cheap single-barrel 
$4 gun. After shooting a few rounds he would take his 
cleaning rod and clean out the barrel, and this made a 
hit with the crowd. The father promised the boy a 
new gun if he beat him, so the youngster was out to 
make good. He scored 103 to his father’s 89. 
The contest for the championship of Connecticut 
was the real feature of the day. W. R. Newsome, of 
Hartford, was the winner, with 97 out of a possible 100, 
which is the top score ever made for the title. He was 
closely pressed by A. L. Chamberlain, of New Haven. 
This was the first tournament Mr. Chamberlain has at¬ 
tended this year, as he has been ill with rheumatism; 
but he shot a nice race, making 95 out of 100. 
The race for the championship of Danbury was 
close. C. Howard Daley, who won the last champion¬ 
ship, was shooting at a disadvantage with a sprained 
ankle. Hal. Sanford and C. W. Stevens tied on 92, 
while Daley broke 91 out of 100. In the shoot-off 
Stevens won by one target. With the championship goes 
the Wilson cup to keep, and the Tasch cup to hold for 
one year. 
The Bridgeport Club has certainly got a team that 
is hard to beat, this being its fourth consecutive win, 
everv man on the team shooting 90 or better. 
For the Du Pont trophy, A. L. Chamberlain and 
W. R. Newsome tied with 142. For the Stevens Arms 
Co. trophy for high gun on the team race, W. R. New- 
some won a leg. For the Parker Bros, trophy, for the 
high total score of the series, there are several who are 
very close. 
The leg for the League trophy was won by Newsome 
and Chamberlain. No one beat the long run of Senior, 
at Bridgeport, for the Liberty Cartridge Co. trophy. 
The Hercules trophy event, for the high gun on the 
special event, was not shot off, as. the trap broke. 
The long run was made by F. G. Clark with 42. The 
Ridgefield championship was won by John H. Finch, 
of Greenwich, Conn., a shooter who earned his victory, 
with 131 out of 150. 
The management of the shoot was the very best. 
ever detail being properly looked after. George R. 
Ginn, of the Winchester Arms Co., looked after the 
office, being assisted by W E. Day and T. Deans. W. 
G. Olmstead and E. H. Bailey attended to the outside 
v.ork. Keet Plancon was squad helper for trap No. 1; 
James T. Bowman for trap No. 2, and F. G. Clark for 
trap No. 3. M. Meyers was referee on No. 1; Fred 
Lawrence on No. 2, and Clarence Miller on No. 3. 
W. Thorpe had charge of the special event. Jack Fan¬ 
ning marked up the scores. Every member of the local 
club did his best to make the tournament a success.
