FOREST AND STREAM 
Nemours (Ladies’) Trapshooting Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Feb. 19, 1914. 
While the Nemours Club cannot boast of a very large 
-attendance at their weekly shoot yesterday afternoon, 
it cannot be blamed to loss of interest on the part of the 
members. So many of the ladies are either confined to 
the house by sickness, or just recovering, that the 
weather is a bit too wintry just yet to permit them to 
venture on the firing line. The fortunate ones who are 
aible to go out are not only getting some good practice, 
but are having such good times over their coffee and 
sandwiches served round the open fire in the club¬ 
house afterwards that the others are most anxious to 
join them. 
Yesterday Mrs. E. L. Riley was high actual. When 
handicaps were counted Mrs. F. W. Wilson also had a 
perfect score, which necessitated a shoot-off. Mrs. 
Riley won, again carrying off the prize in the “Book- 
lovers’ Contest,” and at the same time becoming the 
possessor of the Ramsay Weekly Trophy. The book this 
week was entitled “Field, Cover and Trapshooting,” by 
A. H. Bogardus.

Nemours (Ladies) Trapshooting Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Feb. 12, 1914. 
A raw, biting wind did not keep seven enthusiastic 
women of the Nemours Trapshooting Club from attend¬ 
ing their weekly snoot yesterday afternoon. Fingers be¬ 
came so numbed that the shooters were forced to shoot 
their 25 targets in strings of 10 and 15, returning to the 
club house between times to warm up by the open fire. 
Considering the cold and the wind which lifted or 
flattened the targets in a most disappointing manner, 
some good scores were made. Miss Carson, with her 
score of 14, bore off the honors of the day, under the new 
handicap system becoming the winner of both the Ram¬ 
say Trophy and the fifth book in the “Booklovers’ Con¬ 
test.” The book for this week was entitled “An An¬ 
gler’s Reminiscences, by Charles Hallock. Miss Carson 
was closely followed in her race for first place iby our 
other two windy-day shooters, Mrs. Joslyn and Miss 
Riley.

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Feb. 15, 1914. 
After the telegraphic watch was shot a fifteen target 
event was shot and then the regular weekly club event 
was started, but only five finished it out, the others 
dropping out after shooting one or more frames, and 
the weather conditions can be imagined when so many 
of our seasoned members conclude that they have had 
enough before finishing out their club program. Silver 
broke his twenty-five in the telegraph match, then 
broke his fifteen straight in the next event and nine¬ 
teen out of the next twenty, losing his nineteenth tar¬ 
get, giving him a sum of fifty-eight straight. 
Andy Lino also did splendid work by finishing first in 
the club event with a total of 97, and then finishing up 
by breaking 24 x 25. 
-Bue was second in the club event with a total of 95, 
“Doc” May coming in for third place with 94, Shaw 
sharing third place with 94, although his net score of 
92 tied him with Lino in actual breaks.

WM. F. MERKLE, Superintendent 
Pillow Gun Club. 
Pillow, Pa., Feb. 12, 1914. 
Considering the wind and rain, good scores resulted. 
Uncle Danny, one of the old-timers, was high gun over 
all. Shaffer, the gunsmith, with his newly constructed 
firearm, had a run of 61 straight, but then got excited 
and dropped 11 out of 39. Open your eye, John. Mr. 
Reitz, better known as Davy says he will practice a 
few by moonlight during the coming zodiac, and make 
Uncle Danny hustle.

From New York Evening Post, February 14, 1914. 
A Real Sportsman’s Show 
TREES AND GAME BROUGHT TO GRAND 
CENTRAL PALACE. 
Guides from All the Hunting Grounds of the 
United States and Canada—Exhibits of Live 
Fur-Bearing Animals—Trap Shooting 
and Fly Casting Competitions 
on the Roof. 
A sportsman’s show for sportsmen, in which 
actual scenes in the big game sections of the 
United States and Canada are reproduced in this 
city, in which is given a taste of real outdoor 
life, and where the sportsman may not only get 
all the information as to where he is to find the 
best shooting and fishing, was a number of years 
ago one of the features of the winter in New 
York. Of course it was also necessary to give 
exhibitions of the makers of outdoor equipment 
and appliances at this show, and in the early days 
of these exhibitions their vogue was great. With 
succeeding shows, however, the commercial side 
of the scheme became more and more prominent, 
and public interest fell off, as might naturally 
have been expected. Exhibitions of guns, fishing 
rods, camping equipment, are always interesting 
to the sportsmen, but for those whom the man¬ 
agement of the shows is trying to teach that out¬ 
door life is needed by all New Yorkers, there 
must be something else. This class must be 
shown what the life really means, and the Inter¬ 
national Exhibition Company is going to try to 
do this in the Grand Central Palace from March 
5 to 14. 
To this end the company has combined with 
the Travel Exhibition, and Forest and Stream, 
and the result of their co-operation promises to 
be well worth while. Forest and Stream has al¬ 
ways realized the value of ocular demonstration 
and personal contact as the best method of secur¬ 
ing recruits for the already vast army of Ameri¬ 
can sportsmen, and its entire staff will be en¬ 
gaged in the work of preparation for the coming 
show which should make a high water mark in 
exhibitions of the kind. 
WOODS BROUGHT TO NEW YORK. 
As it is manifestly impossible to take the people 
of New York to the woods the woods will be 
brought to them; the palace will be decorated 
with thousands of trees and an effort will be made 
to reproduce the topographical character of the 
principal big game countries. There will be a 
complete Canadian camp in which guides will 
give an actual demonstration of life in the woods, 
and there will be exhibitions of live game, fish, 
birds, and animals, historical trophies, and explo¬ 
ration equipment, private collections of taxidermy, 
etc. In fact the purpose of the show is to incul¬ 
cate a desire for outdoor recreation in man and 
boy, to give the beginner the advantage of the 
experience of the old times; and to enable the 
sportsman to plan a trip from the selection of the 
things needed to the delivery of his mounted tro¬ 
phy by the taxidermist. Therefore in order to 
have the show fulfil its mission it will be neces¬ 
sary to have every line of outdoor equipment and 
sportsmen’s appliances represented, but these 
things will be subordinated to the real show—not 
the chief part as has been the case too often in 
sportsmen’s shows. 
As a special feature there will be a bureau of 
information where experts will be present to Tell 
where to go, how to get there, what to take, and, 
in fact, everything the novice needs to save ex¬ 
pense and time. There will be illustrated lectures 
and motion pictures of fishing, big game hunting, 
and camp life. Guides from all parts of the 
United States and Canada will be there to give 
reliable information on game conditions and 
prospects for the coming season, and they can 
even be hired for the time when the sportsman 
hopes to visit the woods. 
The New Brunswick Guides Association will 
have a complete log camp with about twelve 
guides in attendance. It will have among other 
things a collection of fur-bearing animals, such 
as mink, sable, ermine, beaver, otter, lynx, wild¬ 
cat, bear cubs, and black, silver, cross, and red 
foxes, the black and silver specimens being espe¬ 
cially rare, and seldom seen in captivity. There 
will be a Nova Scotia camp with four guides, 
under the supervision of Dr. Edward Breck, and 
they will give two performances a day on the 
different phases of camp life. Ernest Thompson 
Seton will have on exhibition ten specimens of 
live fur-bearing animals, and will also deliver 
lectures on fur-farming. 
GUIDES’ CAMPS IN ABUNDANCE. 
‘ In addition to this, there will be camps of 
guides from Maine, the Adirondacks, Alberta, 
Newfoundland, and other big game sections of 
America. There will be special nights for the 
reception of the members of such sportsman’s 
organizations as the Canadian Camp Club, Camp¬ 
fire Club, Boone and Crockett Club, Explorers’ 
Club, and the Arctic Club. On these nigdits the 
members will be entertained in the different 
camps, and lectures will be delivered by the prom¬ 
inent sportsmen on interesting subjects. 
There will also be special nights, on which 
guides will give talks on the different shooting 
and fishing territories in Canada and the United 
States, tell stories, and answer questions. Another 
night, forest, fish, and game conservation will be 
features with a discussion on this subject by 
noted authorities. There will also be a completely 
equipped lecture-hall where motion pictures and 
illustrated lectures will be given every half-hour, 
with no admission charge. 
An outdoor trap-shooting tournament will be 
held on the roof of the Grand Central Palace. 
There will be two sets of traps in operation con¬ 
tinuously for six hours each day and two hours 
each evening. The program will consist of the 
following events: Forest and Stream amateur 
championship, gold and diamond fob; Forest and 
Stream professional championship. Barney 
Waters memorial trophy; women’s individual 
amateur championship, sterling silver cup; inter¬ 
collegiate team race, individual prizes, gold fobs; 
intercity team race, individual prizes, gold fobs; 
inter-gun club team race, individual prizes, gold 
fob; women’s inter-club team race, individual 
prizes, gold medals; inter-athletic golf, yacht, and 
country club team race, club trophy, silver 
plaque; moonlight tournament, gold fob; daily 
high gun (first score to count), gold fob; long 
run of tournament, silver cup; special event, gold 
fob. 
A fly-casting tournament will also be held on 
the roof, with a 200-foot tank, with an interesting 
program, which has not yet been completed.
