Trap Shooting at the Youghiogheny Country Club. 
McKeesport. Ra., February 9, 1914. 
Saturday afternoon, February 7th proved another bliz 
zard afternoon, making trap shooting very difficult, 
almost a gale blowing across the traps from left to 
right and it was sometime before the shooters caught 
on to the drift of their shot, and even then with the 
puffy wind, high scores were almost impossible. Some 
of the shooters were early on the ground, and piyt- 
tice events resulted as follows: Out of 25 birds shot 
at:

Dr. Aber .. . • • 6 . f , 17 
On account of the extreme cold, it was decided to 
divide the regular 50 bird shoot into two 15 bird events 
and one 20 bird event. In this contest J. ,W. Wilson 
tied Dr. Aber for high score, each getting 35 out 
of a possible 50, Dr. Heisey following closely with 34. 
It was decided to shoot of the tie with a 10 bird 
contest. Dr. Aber winning with 9 out of 10, J. W. 
Wilson getting 8 out of 10. Details of this 50 bird 
shoot were as follows: Total

Tie Shoot Off.—Dr. Aber, 9 out of 10; J. W. Wilson, 
8 With' the 0 exception of Dr. Aber the following finished 
out 25 targets in the shoot off, resulting as follows: 
Wilson 16; Dr. Aber, 10 out of 11; Sword, 12; 
Calhoun, 17; Heisey, 12; Cornelius, 14. 
The remarkable part of the whole shoot seems to 
be that the old-time shooters seemed to have as 
much difficulty, if not more at times in locating 
the birds, than those who have much more recently 
come into the game. . . .-. *-*1 »

the year-out use of its space by discerning adver¬

White Plains Gun Club. 
White Plains, Thursday, February 12, 1914- 
The White Plains Gun Club located at the Gedney 
Farms Hotel held a Distance Handicap shoot on their 
grounds to-day with a temperature below zero. The in¬ 
tense cold which almost froze the shooters’ hands and 
the strong wind which blew across the traps made good 
shooting almost impossible. Dr. G. H. Martin, of the 
White Plains Club, won first prize with a total of 94 out 
of a possible 150 shooting from the 18 yard mark. W. 
S. Beckley, Jr., from the same club, won second honors 
with a total of 93, shooting from the 16 yard mark and 
T. H. Lawrence was third with a total of 90, shooting 
from the 18 yard mark, while H. Shannon of the home 
club and E. L. Haas, of the Siwanoy Country Club, 
tied for fourth and fifth prizes. There were 25 shooters 
who had the courage to face the traps under such 
severe climatic conditions. T. H. Lawrence was high 
gun in an additional 100 target event tor club prizes.

ALFRED TREMBLAY JOURNEYED 
S ifk 4000 MILES ON FOOT IN THE ARCTIC 
and on many occasions owed his life and that of his companions of the “ Minnie 
Maud ” Expedition “ to the wonderful precision and shocking power ” of the .280 Ross 
Rifle which was his constant companion. Though “unwittingly submitted to every test of ill 
usage never once did it jam, break or become affected by the intense frost or rough usage.” 
Mr. Tremblay’s letter to us is a revelation of the hardships of a surveying expedition as well 
as a splendid testimonial of the value of the .280 Ross. 
If you want the most powerful and most accurate sporting rifle sold, buy the .280 High Velocity 
Ross and the Special Sporting Cartridges, with copper tube bullet, patented. .280 Rifle sells at 
855.00 in New York and the cartridges §7.50 per 100.
