Nemours (Ladies) Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 12.—To-day marked the 
closing shoot in the Grand Gun Handicap Event, and 
it was by far the most exciting contest in the history 
of the club. This contest for the two trophy guns, the 
double-barrel Fox gun donated by Mr. T. Coleman 
du Pont, of the E. I. du Pont Co., and the Marlin 
repeater 12-gauge gun presented to the club by the 
Marlin Firearms Co., of New Haven, Conn., opened the 
first week in September with ten contestants for each 
gun. It extended over eight regular shooting days, and 
a system of handicap was used, whereby all shooters 
had an equal chance for the trophies. 
(Sixteen of the twenty women who entered qualified 
for the first shoot-off, which took place last week but 
could not be completed as darkness interfered. When 
the shoot opened to-day there were three contestants 
for the Fox gun and three for the Marlin. The event 
was watched with great interest by a large number of 
shooters and visitors, and excitement ran high when 
two of the lades, Mrs. B. V. Clark and Mrs. B. McKaig, 
who were shooting for the Marlin gun, tied twice. 
They both shot so well, and were so equally matched 
that for a. time it was hard to determine who might 
be the winner. 
As it was getting dark the management decided 
that the last tie should be shot off with ten birds; 
at the close of this event Mrs. Clark was in the lead 
by several points. She received the congratulations of 
all present and was presented with the 12-gauge Mar¬ 
lin gun, noted for its good shooting qualities, and 
beloved by all who had used it during the eight weeks 
it was in competition. Mrs. McKaig was also to be 
congratulated, for she shoots with a little 20-gauge gun 
and makes as good scores as many who use the 12- 
gauge. 
Miss Maude V. Moody, Miss Celeste D. Gentieu, 
and Mrs. H. J. Stidham each made a perfect score for 
the Coleman du Pont gun, the high-grade 12-gauge Fox 
gun that had been specially designed by the Fox Gun 
Co., of Philadelphia. In the shoot-off Miss Moody stood 
high, and after receiving the congratulations of all the 
members, was presented with the gun. She was much 
delighted, for she has longed for a Fox gun ever since 
she started shooting. 
In the regular event this afternoon Miss Margaret 
K. Woodman, with her 16-gauge gun, scored seventeen 
breaks out of 25 targets. This was the highest score 
made during the afternoon and was all the more re¬ 
markable as it was made with a small-bore gun. Miss 
Woodman and Mrs. O. B. Clark, with their handicaps, 
made a perfect score and were in the shoot-off for 
the Ramsay trophy. Miss Woodman won and receives 
credit for the trophy for this week. 
WINCHESTER 
WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. 
NEW HAVEN, CONN. 
Hammerless Repeating Shotgun 
16 GAUGE 
This is not a new and untried gun. It is only 
a new gauge of the popular Winchester Model 1912 
—the strongest, safest and most perfect repeating 
shotgun ever made. Sportsmen who buy this gun, 
therefore, run no chance of being disappointed. 
LIGHT BUT STRONG : The 16 gauge is light—weigh¬ 
ing only about six pounds. It has surpassing strength, because 
the barrel, receiver and working parts, except the springs, are 
made of Nickel steel. Its Nickel steel construction, solid 
breech, and its cross-bolt trigger lock make it one of the safest 
guns ever designed. 
EASY ACTING, STRONG SHOOTING: This gun has 
a smooth and easy action, and its shooting qualities are such 
as to please the most critical shooter. Sportsmen who have 
hesitated to lay aside their 12 gauge guns for a “20,” but 
favor a smaller gun than the former, will find the 16 gauge 
just what they have been looking for. 
SPECIFICATIONS; The standard 16 gauge has 
a 26-inch Nickel steel barrel, chambered for 2 9-16 inch 
shells; length over all 44J4 inches; plain walnut pistol 
grip stock and action slide handle; length of stock 13 Ys 
inches, drop at comb 1 7-16 inches, drop at heel 2 7-16 
inches; rubber butt plate; weight about 6 pounds; 
6 shots. List price $30.00.

Pinehurst’s Classic Shoot. 
As an exponent of trap shooting, made famous by 
the Du Pont’s as the “sport alluring,” Pinehurst now 
ranks as America’s Monte Carlo through its classic Mid¬ 
winter Handicap. 
An attractive feature of the seventh annual tourna¬ 
ment scheduled for Jan. 21, 22, 23, and 24 is the special 
trophies offered for the four highest scores made by 
those who have shot the first five hundred targets of 
the regular program the field divided into four classes, 
the preliminary and handicap winners being barred as 
competitors for the special trophies. The big card is 
added money amounting to $2,555, a sum exceeding even 
the premier Grand American and equalled only at shoots 
with a large entrance as a basis for estimate. The 
handicap winners are guaranteed six moneys, $350, $300, 
$250, $200, $150 and $100 in the order given in addition 
to cups for both the handicap and preliminary winners. 
The preliminary winners are guaranteed five moneys, 
$150, $125, $100, $90 and $75. The total value of the tro¬ 
phies offered is $600 and in addition to those in the 
preliminary and the handicap and the special trophies, 
there is the usual gold medal for high amateur average 
and a trophy for the average of the entire program. 
The sweepstakes, with their regular and additional op¬ 
tional entrance, also offer attractive opportunities. There 
are also optional sweeps in all hundred target events 
exclusive of the preliminary and the handicap. Inter-
