The real feature of the day was the contest over the 
Wolf trap for the E. N. Gillespie trophy, a silver loving 
cup. Competition on same opened up upon the arrival 
of the shooters, and closed at 4:30 P. M., when three 
tied with a score of 7—H. E. Brooks, Jr., John Slater 
and Ad. Hickman. In the shoot-off Brooks and Slater 
lost their first targets; Hickman broke and walked off 
with the cup. 
By the indications of this shoot, the post-season series 
in the Western Pennsylvania Trapshooters’ League will 
be a permanent feature.

cartridges are invaluable is in big-game 
hunting. Winchester—the W brand 
—big-game cartridges can always be 
relied on to be sure fire and accurate, 
and to have the proper speed and pene¬ 
tration. You can help make your 
hunt a success by using Winchester, the 
Rifles And Cartridges 
Of Known Reputation 
and proved Superiority 
The ideal hunting rifle is one that 
is designed on sound mechanical 
principles, made with care of the 
best materials, and consequently 
is strong and durable so as to 
stand the rough, hard usage of 
camp and trail. It must shoot 
accurately, be sure to oper¬ 
ate, be well balanced, sym¬ 
metrical in outline and 
handsome in appearance. 
Some rifles have some of these 
features; some rifles others. Win¬ 
chester rifles combine them all. 
Winchester repeating rifles are made in 
eleven different models. From these 
you can select one of the ever popular 
lever action repeaters, or one of the 
most modern recoil-operated types. 
These eleven models embrace rifles 
that will handle low, medium and 
high-power cartridges in all desirable 
calibers. Whichever Winchester rifle 
you select, you can count on its be¬ 
ing well made, accurate and reliable.
