Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., January 24, 1914. 
Stormy Saturdays are the regular thing these days and 
this was no exception as it rained so hard that it finally 
drove us to cover and believe me it has to go some to 
make the Jersey City Gun Club members quit. The at¬ 
tendance was in keeping with the weather and only twelve 
shooters were game enough to toe the mark. A new high 
gun was uncovered today the same being E. L. Haas 
ot New York, he finishing with an average of 81 per 
cent. Only for his first event when he scored only 16 
he would have been several more points to the good, 
his poor score resulting from E. L’s good nature and 
his desire to please a friend by trying out a new sort 
of combination with which he was not acquainted, but as 
he finished high every one is fovg.ven. Dixon and 
Engle tied again for second place with 77 per cent. The 
scores follow in strings of 25 clays:

Cincinnati Revolver Club. 
.The sixth in the second series of club team match 
was shot at the Brandemour Range on January 21, and 
was the best attended meeting of the club since the 
season opened. Each team turned in force with nine 
men lined up on a side Three targets were used, 
which enabled the crowd (o finish their scores early 
in the evening, and left time for two or three side 
matches between some of the members. High individual 
honors were captured by the Reds, although they lost 
the match by 74 points. Col. C. F. Hake scored a 
total of 170, one of the three high scores of the season. 
His third target had a nice group of three tens and 
two nines totaling 48, which is the third high five-shot 
score made this winter. E rl. Thompson, who finished 
second on the Reds, made a poor start on his first 
round, but found himself oil the second target, and put 
all the shots in the black for a total of 46; his last 
target also showed five sh its 111 the black, but the total 
was three points less. O r the twenty shots lie placed 
15 in the black. On the Blue Team, K. W. Stevenson 
and G. E. Pugh tied for first place on 161. The former 
is getting the hang of his new 22-oal. pistol, and put 
nine of his first ten shots in the black, his second target 
showing a good group of three tens, a nine and an 
eight, totaling 47, second high five-shot score of the 
match. H. C. Eustis used a 4=5 automatic, and was 
allowed a handicap of 4 points for service ammunition, 
making his total score 134.

Trap Shooting at the Youghiogheny Country Club. 
McKeesport, Pa., January 19, 1914. 
Conditions as far as weather was concerned could 
hardly have been worse for trap shooting than last 
Saturday afternoon, January 17th, a strong wind blowing 
almost a gale across the trap and the thermometer well 
below freezing. However, a good sky back ground and 
a comfortable warm house between squads, improved con¬ 
ditions, and made the afternoon enjoyable in every way, 
a large number turning out to enjoy the sport. 
Previous to the 50 bird shoot and afterward a num¬ 
ber of practice events were indulged in. Dr. Heisey was 
high gun in the 50 bird shoot, getting 42 out of 50, 
and in fact proved high gun for the whole day’s shoots. 
He was followed closely by professional Harry Wells, 
who did some fine shooting, conditions considered, get¬ 
ting 40 out of a possible 50. 
In the 50 bird practice 
event, shot 
were made • 
in two

a 20, the following scores

Several new shooters were present who were shoot¬ 
ing almost their first time over the traps, and all con¬ 
ditions considered, made good and creditable shooting 
particularly J. A. Caughey, who surprised all in his 
ability to handle a gun. These shooters were: T. H. 
Fox, J. A. Caughey and Dr. Aber’s son. 
In view of the lively interest being taken at the 
country club in trap shooting it is likely that the 
sport will be held every other week as long as the 
weather conditions are favorable, the next shoot being 
on Saturday afternoon January 31st.

Foreign Ammunition at Monte Carlo. 
(By E. G. B. Fitzhamon. 
(Our Staff Correspondent.) 
It cannot be said truthfully that the much heralded 
“Shooters’ Congress,” held at Monte Carlo in connec¬ 
tion with the customary great pigeon-shooting competi¬ 
tions promoted each winter by Mr. Camille Blanc, has 
achieved anything of moment. The mountain has 
labored and brought forth a pin-head, so far as any direct 
benefit to the foreign cartridge and gunpowder trade is 
concerned; or so far as arriving at anything for the 
convenience, sport and improvement of conditions for 
the assembled expert shots of Europe and America are 
concerned. 
Nothing was done toward the open and above-board 
introduction of American, English and German ammu¬ 
nition. Shooters will have to continue smuggling—it is 
nothing else—their own particular cartridges across the 
border, if they expect to shoot up to their best form. 
For the uneven qualities of the ammunition obtainable 
legitimately, thanks to the French Government, remain 
as a blot upon the enterprise and hospitality of the 
Principality of Monaco, upon which - its hands are 
tied by red tape and bureaucracy—the French Govern¬ 
ment has imposed its customs duties, regulations and 
prohibitions. 
The result is that most of the smuggling by sportsmen 
arriving at iMonte 'Carlo is done over the Franco-Italian 
border; and the wonder is that the French Government, 
or its customs officials in high places, is not aware of 
the quantity of such smuggling that goes on annually 
at this time. 
It must be understood that the French Government’s 
object is not so much to collect duties as to force visit¬ 
ing shooters to purchase the French ammunition. The 
high rate of duty placed upon imported American or 
other foreign cartridges would be paid quickly enough 
by those attending the Monte Carlo shoots if they could 
introduce the ammunition of recognized makers using 
the best powders and shot, loaded in accordance with 
the principles laid down by manufacturers employing 
the best known mechanical devices for securing even¬ 
ness and efficiency of the load. 
It seems so unreasonable in these progressive times 
(hat American ammunition or English cartridges may 
not be consigned, in bond, to some responsible person, 
firm or government agency, to be released only within 
the borders of the Principality of Monaco for the pigeon 
shooting at Monte Carlo upon payment of the high 
French duty. 
In the prospectus of the “Shooter’s Congress” that was 
sent out broadcast there appeared to be almost a promise 
that alterations or modifications would be achieved in 
existing rules and regulations, which would—one was 
led to believe—be brought into line with those of Bel¬ 
gium, England, Austria, Italy, and elsewhere, where 
pigeon shooting still flourishes. 
It is a great pity that the Tir-aux-Pigeons of Monte 
Reaching the 
Far Ones 
How many times you miss the far fliers be¬ 
cause you haven't quite the necessary shooting 
power. 
The advantage is yours if you can count on 
your gun at 50 and 60 yards.
