488 OUT OF 500 
A NEW PISTOL SHOOTING RECORD MADE WITH 
WINCHESTER 
Composite Target of Dr. Wilson’s Shooting 
.22 CALIBER “LESMOK” CARTRIDGES 
488 out of 500. A New World's Pistol Record, and phenomenal 
shooting besides. It was recently done by Dr. C. H. Wilson, of Pitts¬ 
burgh, in an Indoor Match of the United States Revolver Association 
League. In his first string of 25, Dr. Wilson scored 245, and in his second 
243, giving him a 50-shot record, which is several points higher than the 
best previous one. In all this shooting, Dr. Wilson used .22 Winchester 
Long Rifle “Lesmok” cartridges. 
Dr. Wilson’s shooting and the winning of the Revolver Champion¬ 
ship of the World by Lieut. W. Carlherg of Sweden, at Camp Perry 
last fall with Winchester make of cartridges, are conclusive proof what 
make of cartridges to shoot in order to obtain the greatest degree of ac¬ 
curacy. It certainly pays to shoot Winchester make— 
The Cartridges of Known Reputation 
and Proved Superiority 
of hii hundred, and as a south wind made many divers, 
this was very nice work for both of these gentlemen.

In the Team Race of 
the 
“Havanas” 
the 
following 
was the team lineup: 
Team No. i—J. R. Taylor, 25 straight; Webster, 24; 
Harris, 21; Carpenter, 17; Ford 21; K. Thompson, 13; 
Jessup, 15. Total, 136. 
Team No. 2—Chamberlain, 23; Shattuck, 24; Cauffman, 
22; Terry, 14; Smiley, 19; G. M. Smith, 20; Ben Thomp¬ 
son, 15. Total, 137. 
Team No. 2 won the “Cigars” by a margin of one 
target. Some teams. The Team Two boys, instead of 
blowing the smoke in the face of Team One, opened them 
up and everybody smoked. A very enjoyable afternoon 
was spent by all present. 
Saturday, March 7th, the team shoot in the Telegraph 
Race. 
Dr. Van Fossen and Mr. King Thompson leave Sun¬ 
day for three weeks in Florida. We all wish them a 
pleasant trip and good fishing. 
Keep your eye on “Circleville, Ohio,” State Shoot

Championship Meeting. 
London, February 19, 1914. 
Mr. A. H. Gale has handed to me a letter he 
received from you in June last, when I under¬ 
stand he made a suggestion that an American 
team might be able to attend our championship 
meeting, though it was at very short notice. 
We had over here at the meeting last year 
German and Belgian teams, as well as Scottish 
and Welsh teams, in addition to our own shoot¬ 
ers, and the tournament was very successful. 
This year we propose to have the meeting dur¬ 
ing the week ending June 27th, and if it is possi¬ 
ble for a team of amateur shooters to visit us and 
take part in the competitions we shall be de¬ 
lighted to welcome them.

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 28, 1914. 
This was the best day for our favorite sport that the 
members of the Jersey City Gun Club have had since 
some time last December, and the result was a good 
turnout of the boys, who evidently have been waiting 
for a decent day in order to get busy smashing targets. 
This was our regular monthly prize shoot and Dave 
Engle finished high on the first 100 targets shot at, 
which number counts for the take-home trophy. He hit 
84 and Dixon was one target short, finishing with 83 
per cent. Dave carried home a half dozen solid silver 
tea-spoons for his good work and left the club with a 
broad smile that looked as though it would never come 
off. Jackson, Bucktnan and Jones put in their applica¬ 
tions for membership to-day and no doubt they are 
elected by this time. The scores follow in strings of 
25 targets:

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
March 1st was some day for a shooting match, but six¬ 
teen of the dyed-in-the-wool shooters showed up at the 
grounds, and only quit when_ it became too dark to see 
the targets. A forty-mile wind blowing the fine snow 
in the eyes of the shooters, making the targets dart up¬ 
ward like sky-rockets, and the cold numbing the fin¬ 
gers of the contestants, precluded all chance of anything 
resembling good scores. _ And this was the date for the 
third contest in the series of telegraph matches for the 
DuPont trophy. Under normal conditions the score 
made by the team, 156, would have been a joke, but in 
the weather which prevailed i’t was a long way from 
being a bad showing. The club has been unfortunate 
drawing hard conditions when shooting this match, the 
weather on both previous occasions having been of the 
worst. There were several visitors present in spite 
of the weather, among them being: Ed Banks, Wilming¬ 
ton, Del.; Bart Lewis, Auburn, Ills., the well-knowij 
expert amateur and winner of the National amateur 
championship last year; C. F. Moore, Pittsburgh; O. 
Lawrence, Lexington, Ky. Two members of the newly 
organized gun club at Price Hill, Messrs. Schneider and 
Broxterman, and Kauffman, of the Westwood Gun Club) 
also took part in the events. Schreck was high gun 
in the regular events with 71 out of 95 targets. C. Fl 
Moore, second with 68, and Dibowski, third with 63; 
scores which the makers would disown under ordinary 
conditions, but which were far from bad for the condir 
tions at this shoot. In the Telegraph Match, Sander 
and Butz tied for high on 19 each, with Ford, Ertel and 
Davies in second place on 18 each. In a team match 
between Sander and Butz, and Schreck and Dibowski, 
at 25 targets per man, the former team won by two tar¬ 
gets. An event at twelve pairs of doubles finished the 
afternoon’s sport, Butz breaking 14; Schreck and Ford, 
13 each; Sander and Kauffman, 7 each. Arthur Gambell 
was not on deck to-day, but welcomed the visitors 
while reclining on a couch, suffering from a severe at- 
tack of grippe, the result of exposure to the weather 
on the 22nd. He was some better, and promises to be 
on hand next week, and in the meantime will dope a 
few surprises in the way of team combinations. The 
boys hope to have at least one good day for a telegraph 
match, as they would like to put up one score in the 
series of which they need not feel ashamed.
