Announcement. 
The Electric Launch Company of Bayonne, New 
Jersey, will hereafter be known as The ELCO Company 
and remain under the same ownership and manage¬ 
ment as heretofore. In recent years this company has 
been most generally known by its trade mark "ELCO,” 
and on account of the large variety of boats and en¬ 
gines which the company now builds, the change of 
name has been considered advisable. The company will 
continue to design and build all types of motor boats 
and motor yachts equipped with gasoline and electric 
power, gasoline and heavy oil engines, for pleasure and 
commercial uses. 
When The Electric Launch Company was incor¬ 
porated in 1892, the electric launch was first introduced 
in the country, and at that time there was a Iarg, 
demand for the electric propelled boat, over fifty of them 
having been built the following year for use at the 
Chicago Exposition. Electric launches continued in 
popularity for a number of years and are still used 
on inland lakes and rivers where one desires the maxi¬ 
mum comfort, and absence of noise and vibration rather 
than long distance or high speed. The electric launch 
appeals particularly to the ladies, who can handle and 
operate a boat of this type with ease. 
During the past twelve years the principal business 
of The Electric Launch Company has been in ELCO 
motor boats, motor yachts, and all types of gasoline 
boats for pleasure, government and commercial uses. 
The ELCO Company is a subsidiary to the Electric 
Boat Company, whose principal business is in the 
building of the Holland type of submarine. Over fifty 
per cent, of the world’s submarines are of this class 
and built under the patents of the Electric Boat Com¬ 
pany. 
The ELCO Company’s plant at Bayonne, N. J.. on 
Newark Bay, comprises twenty-five acres, with over a 
thousand feet of water front and unexcelled factory 
facilities for designing and building rdl types of boats 
of wooden construction. A large yacht basin, three 
hundred feet square, provides ample accommodation for 
storage of yachts during the winter season, and with 
marine railway equipment, the largest yachts can be 
hauled out for repair or placed in winter storage. 
The ELCO Company has built a great many motor 
yachts, among them some of the largest that have been 
built in this country, and were the first in America to 
build and successfully demonstrate a motor yacht equip¬ 
ped with a Diesel engine. The Diesel engine installed 
in this yacht was built by the New London Ship & 
Engine Company of Groton. Connecticut, which com¬ 
pany is also connected with the Electric Boat Company. 
The ELCO Company have been pioneers in standard¬ 
ized motor boat construction, and during the past ten 
years have developed a line of ELCO Express boats, 
ELCO cruisers and elcoplanes, which are recognized 
as superior in their class to anything that is built. 
The company has built a large number of boats 
for the United States Government, and filled, a few 
years ago, one of-the largest orders ever placed by the 
Government, covering one hundred and twenty boats, 
which were built and delivered in one hundred and 
twenty days. All the power life boats purchased by the 
United States Government have been built by The 
ELCO Company and at the present time the com¬ 
pany is building on Government contract, ten of these 
boats for the United States Life Saving Service.

Trap Shotting at Youghiogheny Country Club. 
The day for trap shooting could not have been 
better, had it been made to order. There was practi¬ 
cally no wind blowing, a good clear sky for a back¬ 
ground and the hill sides and ground covered with 
snow making the birds clear and easy to see. 
In the regular 50 bird event. Dr. Heisey with 46 
cut of 50 proved an easy winner; however, Rigsby 
and J. W. Wilson with 43 and 41 made good “Run¬ 
ner Ups.” Mr. J. M. Phillips, state game commis¬ 
sioner, was there with his 28 gauge gun, in fact he 
had two of them; however, the shooting proved that 
this small gauge gun must be practically centered 
on the bird to make a score. However, when si, 
centered they would powder a clav pigeon just as 
effectively as a 12 gauge gun. 
In the three practice shoots run off before the 
regular 50 bird event, scores were as follows: 
. tst Event. — Nicholson 13, Wilson 18, Rigsby 19, 
Phillips (using 28 gauge gun) 9, Sword 15 and Hitchens 
6 out of 10. 
2nd Event.—Haberman 16, Meredith 21, Cornelius 
17, Wilson 19 and Phillips (using 28 gauge gun) 13. 
3rd Event.—Davis 14, Heisey 24, Bradshaw 21, Dr. 
Jordan 12 and Dr. Ballard 19.

Eleven of the above shooters who entered the pool, 
Lewis Class System won as follows: Dr. Heisey, win¬ 
ner of A Class, Bradshaw winner of B Class, and 
Dr. Davis winner of C Class. 
At the close of the regular shoot, Mr. Phillips 
and Dr. Heisey gave some exhibition shooting, each 
with a 28 gauge gun, stationed half way up from the 
stand to the trap, both doing remarkable execution. 
Following this pretty nearly every shooter present try¬ 
ing his hand with the 28 gauge guns, from this posi¬ 
tion, other shooters standing to the right and left 
protecting these shooters, by attempting to break with 
the gun at the hip, such birds as were missed by the 
two smaller gauge guns. 
Following this Dr. Gardnier, Dr. Heisey, Cornelius 
shot off protection event from the stand, the shooting 
continuing as long as there was any light left. 
Mr. Phillips left one of his 28 gauge guns with Dr. 
Heisey and another open shoot is planned for the 
near future, which will likely be Saturday, January 
17, 1914 so that those who have not had the chance 
of seeing this remarkable little gun in its work over 
the traps, will have another opportunity. 
Thornburg Gun Club of Pittsburgh. 
The Thornburg Gun Club held a most successful 
and enjoyable shoot New Year’s Dav considering the 
season, most marksmen being out of form, the scores 
were good. Much of the success was due to the untir¬ 
ing efforts of the newly elected officers, our new presi¬ 
dent J. W. Barber, especially distinguishing himself 
at the cashier’s window. Dr. Latimore and Carl Proess- 
ler were on hand early and at the finish, both being 
new at the game, but the way they ran things, looked 
as if they are old hands at handling a shoot. Bartram, 
Hoenshel. Bradbury and Seifert tied at fifty targets, 
their handicaps giving them a perfect score. The shoot 
off at 25 targets, resulted as follows: 
Bartram 21, first prize, fifteen pound turkey; Hoen¬ 
shel 20. second prize, twelve pound turkey; Bradbury 
19, third prize, five pound duck; Seifert, of McKee 
Rocks 18, fourth prize four pound chicken. He stubbed 
his toe on the last ten. Scores follow:
