Mark Arie knows guns and knows trap 
shooting requirements. He made the 
1913. season’s high amateur average 
(broke 96.17% of 1650 registered tar¬ 
gets). After thorough study, Mr. Arie 
recently selected the Marlin hammerless 
as the best practical trap gun obtainable. 
He ordered a No. 28 D Marlin trap 
gun—gave it its first try-out at the big 
6-day shoot at Houston last week—the 
above scores testify to his good judgment. 
“A wise man profits by the experience 
of others”—you will buy a Marlin ulti¬ 
mately —why not enjoy its benefits now? 
H. H. Shannon of New York, won the 
6th Annual Amateur Championship of 
Long Island Sound on Jan 17th—high 
overall—“beating the best metropolitan 
gunners of the year.” He used a No. 
28 T Marlin trap gun. 
We can furnish a specially built trap gun,

There was a good bunch of shooters at the grounds 
yesterday for the usual wekly contests and for the 
second of the series of telegraphic team matches now 
in progress. The weather conditions were excellent, 
good light, and not too cold for comfort on the firing 
line. The targets sailed rather high, but most of the 
shooters found little difficulty in reaching them, as the 
scores will show. Ford, who has been doing little 
shooting this winter, and Connelly, who is just start¬ 
ing in again after a long rest, tied for high score on 
94 out of ioo targets. C. A. Young, the professional 
from Springfield, Ohio, stopping off here on his way 
home from a long trip in the south, broke 92 out 
of his first 100, and Nemo, a local amateur, came next 
with 91. In the team match Schreck’s team won with 
a margin of 8 targets. In the first of the challenge 
four-men team matches, Schreck’s team won by 4 
targets, and Gambell’s team captured the second 
match by 1 target. The club made a much better show¬ 
ing in the telegraph match than before; there were 
fifteen scores to select from, and the best ten scores 
totaled 224, or 90 per cent. This is not quite up to the 
mark which the club should reach, but is good work for 
these grounds, where fast, full fifty-yard targets are 
trapped, and the shooter nas got to be on his taps to 
gather them. Connelly broke 49 out of the second 50 
targets, and made a run of 50 straight during the after¬ 
noon. An event at twelve pairs of doubles wound up 
the shooting for the day; Davies broke 22; Nemo, 19; 
Ertel and Ford, 18 each; Pohlar, 16; Butz, 15; Connelly, 
13, and Sander. 12. In addition to the usual events on 
. February 8th, there will be a team match with the Fort 
Thomas Gun Club.

PARTICIPANT. 
On Thursday, January 15th, the Western Pennsyl¬ 
vania Trap Shooters’ League held their annual meet¬ 
ing. Preceding the meeting, they held a 50 bird shoot 
in the afternoon on the grounds of the Herron Hill 
Gun Club, at which there were 47 shooters. The laurels 
were carried off by Mr. George E. Painter, the veteran 
of many shoots, who broke 47. He was followed very 
closely by Mr. J. E. Wampler, another gray beard who 
broke 46, but it remained for our president Louie 
Lautenslager, to set the pace. After getting a very 
bad start, he broke the last 25 straight, and this was the 
only straight made during the day, proving that he 
is not only worth of being the president of the 
leaguq, but still able to hold his own when he gets 
started right. 
After the shoot we all adjourned to the Fort Pitt 
Hotel, where 54 members gathered around the festive 
board, and enjoyed a good dinner. 
After the feast, the meeting was called to order by 
the president L. Lautenslager. The usual preliminary 
of the meeting was gone through, such as reading the 
minutes, report of the secretary and treasurer, and 
committees. The following officers were then elected 
for 1914: 
President, Louis Lautenslager; vice-president, J. F. 
Calhoun; secretary and treasurer, J. C. Garland; cor¬ 
responding secretary, Miss Edna Lautenslager; execu¬ 
tive committee, comprised of Jas. E. Lewis, chairman; 
Geo. E. Painter and Luther Squier. 
The league decided to hold the five shoots for the 
ccming year the same as last year, and the division of 
money to be the Revised Lewis System. After quite 
a lengthy session, the meeting adjourned, and we ex¬ 
pect in 1914, if possible, to hold even better shoots than 
have been held by this league in any previous year.

Dogs go to homes where there are children. 
St. Nicholas will tell all its readers about the dogs they are going to buy— 
yours, if you like. 
The Pet Department in St. Nicholas began July, 1912, with a half-page. 
The Department in the Christmas number 1913 has five pages, and finds its 
jacket too tight! 
St. Nicholas reaches buyers who want pedigreed pets, and who can pay for
