best black powder you can use. Made 
with the care characteristic of all Her¬

White Plains Gun Club. 
J. Mowell Hawkins set a new club record at the 
White Plains Gun Club yesterday at the club grounds, 
Gedney Farms Hotel, when he made 95 “kills” out of a 
possible 100. A high wind made shooting difficult, but 
the twenty-one gunners made good scores. 
The Olympic style of shooting was adopted for the 
first time and proved a success. After an interesting 
competition E. F. Ward was returned the winner with 
a score of 21. E. L. Haas was the high gun handicap 
with a full score of 100, while Prof. Hill captured the 
amateur scratch event with 91.

White Plains Gun .Club. 
White Plains, N. Y., March gth, 1914. 
Below you will find an account of the women shooters 
of our club who participated in an open shoot held at 
the Grand Central Palace in connection with the Sports¬ 
man Show. 
This club has the unique distinction of being the only 
club which can muster a squad of ladies to compete on 
the traps with the exception of Wilmington, Delaware. 
This club has seven women members and it was ear¬ 
nestly anticipated that the Wilmington, Del., club 
would send over their female squad to compete against us. 
Our team, however, was the only one which put in an 
appearance as per schedule outlined in the program at 
the Sportsman Show. Each one of these ladies will re¬ 
ceive a gold medal for their performance on this date. 
Following are the scores for the five ladies in this 
squad: 
Total. 
Mrs. Vogel .1. 22 22—44 
Miss Jessie Thorpe . 19 19—38 
Mrs. F. F. Rodgers . 15 14—29 
Miss L. Boles . 12 15—27 
Miss Hyland . 8 11—19 
In addition to the above shooters Miss Rita Brown and 
Mrs. Ilaughton are very consistent performers at our 
traps and frequently return scores of 75 per cent, kills. 
This is one of the most flourishing clubs in the vicinity 
of New York and it is composed of about one hundred 
and fifty shooters. It also has the unique distinction 
of having four of its club members qualify for the final 
indoor shoot recently held in Madison Square Garden, 
each member making a total of 49 out of a possible 50.

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The wind was about the only constant feature of the 
weather which prevailed during the weekly shoot of the 
club on March 8, and this caused the targets to do vari¬ 
ous unexpected stunts, and kept the shooters guessing. 
An occasional flurry of snow also helped to keep the 
scores lower than usual. Several team matches were 
shot during the afternoon, Schreck’s team winning both 
of the three-man team contests, the first, at 50 targets 
per man, by 8 targets, and the second, at 25 targets per 
man, by 4 targets. Hammerschmidt was the only one 
to go straight in any of the 25-target events. In the 
50-target match, Dibowski made high individual score 
of 43; Schreck and Hammerschmidt second, with 40 each. 
In four matches at 25 targets each, Sander and Dibowski 
were high in actual breaks in each match, but Meyer 
and Butz, with the aid of their handicap of three added 
targets, tied them in the first three, and had one to the 
good in the fourth, their total in the 100 targets being 
i6a to 161. The last event at single targets was a two- 
man team match at 25 targets per man, L. Gambell and 
Butz winning by 5 targets. A couple of events at
