Robin Hood Gun Club. 
Staten Island, N. Y., Dec. 25.—Shooters that would 
sooner exterminate clay birds than turkey dinners on 
Christmas Day turned out in the rain. Ben Beyersdofr 
was there with his new L. C. Smith single trigger 
stick and was high man for the Rowley Cup, getting 
46 x 50. That is some score in a high wind and rain 
and wads blowing in the shooters’ eyes. Conelley was 
close on Ben with 42 x 50. G. F. Hutchings gave his 
28-gauge Sauer gun a try out and said it would do to 
shoot humming birds with.

To All Trapshooters: 
I N order to make the contests for the Du Pont Long Run Trophies more 
attractive to our friends, announcement was made early in 1913 that 
Gold Watches would be given at the close of the year to the three 
amateurs having the greatest number of Long Runs to their credit as 
shown by these Long Run Bars. To the professional shooter having the 
greatest number of Long Run Bars, an additional award was also promised. 
It is now our pleasure to formally announce that the winners of these 
trophies are: 
Mr. S. A. Huntley - Vancouver., Wn. 
Mr. Barton Lewis - - Auburn, Ill 
Mr. W. S. Hoon - - Jewell, Iowa 
Mr. W. H. Heer - - Guthrie, Okla. 
COME changes in the Long Run Trophy conditions are being considered for 1914 . 
^ We think the proposed innovations will make the Trophies more attractive than 
ever to the amateur trapshooters.

Tl»e Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., December 27th, 1913. 
Gentlemen: 
Believing that the name “Trapshooting Club” will 
be far more significant of the real purpose for which 
the Du Pont Club was formed, it has been decided 
to change the Du Pont Gun Club’s name to the Du 
Pont Trapshooting Club, by which title it will be known 
after January 1st, 1914. 
While rifle, pistol and revolver shooting have 
always been featured at the Du Pont Club, neverthe¬ 
less the club’s activities have been largely along trap¬ 
shooting lines. More than 90 per cent, of our mem¬ 
bership who compete actively in the club’s events are 
interested in trapshooting, to the entire exclusion of 
the other guns.
