Pillow Gun Club. 
Pillow, Pa., Feb. 24, 1914. 
Pillow Gun Club’s first Washington’s Birthday shoot 
was held on the 23rd inst. in honor of the Father of 
Our Country. Owing to zero weather and sixteen inches 
of snow, accompanied by a high wind, the attendance 
was not very large. However, the costumed shooters, 
considering the conditions, did splendid work. High 
gun honors went to Mr. Bingaman closely followed by 
Mr. Deibler and Shaffer. Batdorf, from Dalmatia, visited 
the club and shot a strange gun,

Dates Won’t Conflict. 
New York, Feb. 20, 1914. 
Editor Forest and Stream: I am advised bv Mr. B. R. 
Stoddard, chairman of the shooting committee of the 
New Rochelle Yacht Club, in his letter of February 
19th, that owing to Thursdays, their regular adopted 
shooting day, conflicting with the Sportsman’s Show 
and Forest & Stream Show, they have set the follow¬ 
ing days for holding shoots during the period of said 
shows: Wednesday, March 4th; Thursday, March 19th. 
They are also getting up an invitation shoot for Thurs¬ 
day, March 26th.

Twenty-four shooters responded to the call of “Pull” 
to-day at the Buffalo Audubon Cluib’s second shoot for 
» I ^ HE proof of a pudding is in the 
eating”-and the practical 
value of a shotgun lies in its 
shooting ability. 
Conclusive proof of the superior shooting 
qualities of the Marlin guns is found in 
the scores of the recent big 6-day shoot at 
Houston, Texas, where all makes and 
types of guns were used.

Mark Arie knows guns and knows trap¬ 
shooting requirements. He made the 
1913 season’s high amateur average 
(broke 96.18% of 1650 registered tar¬ 
gets). After a thorough study, Mr. Arie 
recently selected the Marlin hammerless 
as the best practical trap gun obtainable. 
He bought a No. 28 D Marlin trap gun- 
gave it its first try-out at this big 6-day 
shoot at Houston, Jan. 26th-31st-and 
won everything worth while.

February. Shooting glasses were a great assistance on 
account of the glare of the sun on the snow. 
Good scores were in evidence, especially in the tele- 
orraph match event, in which the ten high scores were: 
vvootton, 24; Covert, 24; Wright, 24; Conley, 24; Black 
mer, 24; Lawson, 23; Jerauld, 23; Fish, 23; Ebberts, 23; 
Broderick, 23. Total, 235. 
Conley was high for all events with 117x125, which 
is a fine performance, especially when his handicap in 
all events except the telegraph event was from 19 to 
21 yards, Blackmer and Ebberts tied in the “Marlin 
Gun Event” with 21 each from 20 and 19 yards respec¬ 
tively. Scores follow:

W. C. WOOTTON, Secretary. 
Pillow Gun Club. 
Pillow, Pa., Feb. 20, 1914. 
Enclosed find scores of second series of Century shoots 
under date February 14. H. C. Deibler was high 
and therefore has two leads on the series. The scores 
are not up to the standard, owing to the high wind and 
the snowstorm. The next Century shoot will be held 
on the 23rd inst., in memory of Washington’s Birthday, 
when a large attendance is expected.

White 
Plains Gun 
Club. 
The White Plains Gun Club held their regular shoot 
on Washington’s Birthday at their club grounds located 
at the Gedney Farms Hotel. There were 19 shooters, 
including one lady, who faced the traps on this bitter 
cold day. The high wind which blew across the traps 
and the extreme cold made shooting very difficult. Miss 
Jessie Thorpe, the only lady shooter who had the cour¬ 
age to shoot on this occasion, did excellent work, mak¬ 
ing a total of 90, including her handicap, thus capturing 
second prize. T. H. Lawrence was high scratch man 
with a score of 76, and L. G. Bond was high handicap 
with a total of 95. R. P. Ray was the winner of the 
DuPont medal in the 300-bird event and L. G. Bond 
was the winner of the Dalton trophy for the same num¬ 
ber of birds.
