New York, March 14. -The most successful trapshooting tournament ever held in the city closed here this even¬ 
ing. About 150 shooters have contested during the last nine days and nights on the roof of the Grand Central Palace, 
fourteen stories above the streets. The shoot was held in connection with the Travel Vacation and Sportsman’s Show. 
A. W. Church and John Hendrickson of the N. Y. A. C.were high in the two Amateur events, while H. H. Stevens, 
of Roselle Park, N. J., and Neaf Apgar, of Plainfield, N. J., carried off Professional honors. 
MQONLIGHT AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP 1-2-3 
FOR HERCULES 
o ne of the sensations of the week was the shut out 
scored by shooters using Infallible and E. C. in the Moon¬ 
light Amateur Championship. Mr. Hendrickson with 84x100, 
Mr. McMahon with 82x100 and Henry Sanford, of Ridge¬ 
field, C onn., with 80x100, set a pace that no one could 
challenge. The targets were painted white and spotlights 
were used, but even so, they were difficult to follow. 
Messrs. Hendrickson and McMahon used E. C., and Mr. San¬ 
ford shot Infallible. 
N. Y. A. C. WINS TEAM RACE

Comment on the long string of victories won by shoot¬ 
ers using Infallible and E. C. was heard on all sides when it 
was found that these powders had again made a clean sweep. 
To a novice, it might seem strange to hear these ex¬ 
perts attaching so much importance to the powder they use. 
However, it was pointed out that in the severe test offered 
by both moonlight championships, shooters using Hercules 
Powders were the only ones that secured places. Further, 
it was recalled that Hercules won high average in the Mid- 
Winter Handicap at Pinehurst, took every event at the Sunny 
South, and captured the World’s Indoor Championship at 
Madison Square Garden, as, with the shoot just ended, these 
are the only important ones held so far this season, it is im¬ 
possible to avoid the conclusion that the best shots have a 
marked preference for Infallible and E. C. 
To explain this, shooters claim many points of superi¬ 
ority for these powders. They are found to be more uniform 
in their action than any others. This insures even patterns, 
and, as both powders give very light recoil, they are spoken 
of as “pleasant to shoot.” In addition to this, Infallible is 
absolutely waterproof and is the cleanest powder made. 
THREE OUT OF FOUR 1 HIGH AMATEURS^SHOOT 
HERCULESIE. C. 
In winning the “Forest and Stream” Championship, 
Mr. Church did some remarkable shooting against the best 
men in this vicinity. His scores, 82x100 and 20x25 in the 
shoot-off were exceedingly good, considering the high wind. 
Mr. Hendrickson and D. F. McMahon, also of the N. Y. A. 
C., were tied for third in this event with 81x100. All three 
used Hercules E. C.
