Nemours (Ladies) Trapshooting Club. 
Wilmington, Del., January 8, 1914. 
In spite of a dreary afternoon and a cold penetrat¬ 
ing wind, ten women were at the traps yesterday. It 
was the last shoot for the Ramsay Trophy and also 
the beginning of the “Book Lovers’ Contest,” a contest 
outlined by Mr. Fred E. Pond of the “Sportsmen’s 
Review,” who donated twelve books to be competed 
for.by the ladies of the Nemours Trapshooting Club, at 
their regular weekly shoots. 
The title of the book yesterday was kept a secret 
until the winner was announced and there were many 
guesses as to what it might be—this added greatly to 
the interest. 
At the close of the shoot it was found that Mrs. 
E. L. Riley, Mrs. Franklin W. Wilson. Miss Margaret 
R. Woodman and Miss Alice Riley with their handi¬ 
caps had tied for Book No. 1. 
In the shootoff which followed Mrs. Wilson and 
Mrs. Riley tied again, necessitating a second shootoff; 
in this Mrs. Riley won by one target and was presented 
with the first book in the “Book Lovers’ Contest” en¬ 
titled “Athletics and Outdoor Sports for Women” by 
Lucille E. Hill This is the third book that Mrs. Riley 
has won in the last six weeks. She was awarded a 
volume of “Gray’s Elegy” in the “Pepple Shoot,” and 
she also won the “Book of Sport” that Mr. Pond do¬ 
nated to the Club last fall. 
In the Ramsay Trophy Event yesterday Mrs. Wil¬ 
son came off with flying colors and will be the wearer 
of the medal until next Wednesday, when it will be 
finally awarded to the shooter having won it the greatest 
number of times since September 1st, the date the com¬ 
petition started.

balance ; the beauty of its lines ; the ease and sureness of 
its operation; and the sound mechanical principles observed 
in its design ; this model has been rightly called by critical experts
