Nemours (Ladies) Trapshooting Club. 
Wilmington, Dela., March 25, 1914. 
The return of Spring brought many ladies out yester¬ 
day afternoon; thirteen enthusiastic shooters faced the 
traps, and though the weather conditions precluded 
high scores the shoot was thoroughly enjoyed by every 
one. 
A number of out of town visitors were present during 
the afternoon and some of them made their first try 
at the elusive “clays.” 
Miss Marie V. Lannan who has been absent for a 
number of weeks demonstrated that she had not for¬ 
gotten how to break clay pigeons even though she 
was somewhat out of practice. She was high gun. 
scoring twelve breaks out of her quarter of a century 
of targets, with Miss Hammond as the runner-up. 
When handicaps were counted it was found that Miss 
Lannan and Mrs. Harry White had tied for the Ram¬ 
say Weekly Trophy, and the ninth book in the “Book- 
lovers’ Contest,” entitled “Rambles of an Australian 
Naturalist” by Paul Fountain. In the shoot-off of 
ten “birds,” however, Miss Lannan won. She will hold 
the gold medal until next week. 
Scores (25 targets) follow: 
Mrs. E. L. Riley, 9; Miss H. D. Hammond. 10; 
Miss M. R. Woodman, 9; Miss J. P. Hirst, 8; 
Mrs. Harry White, 7; Miss A. E. Riley, 9; Miss E. 
Hammond, 3; Mrs. Harry Stidham, 2; Miss M. V. 
Lannan, 12; Miss Mary Robinson, 1; Mrs. B. McKaig,

It was the first time in the history of the sport at 
Travers Island that a fraction of a target won a prize. 
With the Distance Handicap no longer on the program, 
the gunners were called upon to decide a special shoot at 
twenty-five targets. After a shoot-off it was won by 
C. S. Wills. Dr. Culver won the Variety Cup. 
H. C. DECK, President, Plymouth Gun Club. 
Plymouth Gun Club. 
Plymouth, O., March 24, 1914. 
This was the best day for our favorite sport that the 
members of the Plymouth Gun Club have had for some¬ 
time, as the scores will show, with good shooting: 
The blue rock hitting of H. C. Deck and Lofland with 
his new gun was the main features of the afternoon.

New York Athletic Club. 
Pelham Manor, March 28, 1914. 
There was only a small field of gunners at the Travers 
Island traps of the New York Athletic Club to-day. The 
inclement afternoon and the fact that several cups had 
to be decided at the Westchester County Club kept down 
the attendance. However, the shooters on the firing line 
had excellent sport. The prizes were well distributed 
and full scores were required to take the majority of 
events. 
Being the final Saturday of the month, interest cen¬ 
tered principally in the March Cup. The final leg was 
taken by C. W. Berner. It placed him in a tie with 
three other gunners. However, C. J. Stein was the only 
other gunner in the tie on the firing line, and he and 
Berner had the closest shoot of the year in trying to 
win the prize. On the third shoot-off C. J. Stein took 
the prize by 25 to 23 targets. 
F. A. Baker was the only double winner of the after¬ 
noon. He first scored a leg on the Accumulation Cup 
with a full score of 23 targets. Then he captured the 
Travers Island Trophy with a card of 24 out of 25 blue- 
rocks. The Club Trophy was won by R. R. Debacher 
with a 24 out of a possible 25 targets. W. B. Ogden was 
the high scratch gunner, with 82 out of 100 targets. He 
also made the longest straight run of the day. It was 19. 
The High Handicap Prize was taken by C. W. Berner 
after a shoot-off against R. R. Debacher. Each had 90 
out of too targets in the original shoot. C. W. Berner 
took the shoot-off, with a total of 2254 against 22 targets. 
Areola Gun Club. 
Areola, iN. J., March 28, 1914. 
A number of New York gunners took part in the week¬ 
ly shoot of the Areola Country Club at Areola, N. J., 
to-day, when some good scores were made. Frank Hall 
accounted for the Accumulation and Areola Cups and 
F. A. Landis captured the Red Mills and handicap tro¬ 
phy. The scratch event at 100 targets went to R. L. 
Spotts, with 91, who was the high gun of the day. John 
Philip Sousa, Charles Billings, and other prominent ama¬ 
teurs made poor scores and failed to approach the scores 
of the leaders. The summary:

That 22 Repeating Rifle 
When you are buying a .22 Calibre Repeater, do not overlook the many radical im¬ 
provements found only in the Remington—-UMC arm of that type 
Solid Breeeti—Hasninerless— Safe 
The Remington™UMC solid breech keeps the dirt out of the action and protects 
the shooters face and eyes from possible “blow-backs/* 
The Remington—UMC hammerless feature gives an unobstructed view for sighting— no protruding 
hammer to catch on twigs, fence or clothes. 
There are many other improvements in the Remington—UMC .22 calibre repeater. It can 
be taken down very quickly—no tools necessary but the fingers. Barrel can be cleaned from 
the breech. The action permits use of .22 short, long or long rifle cartridges—or any com¬ 
bination of these cartridges without adjustment. The cartridges are not jammed into 
place—they slide in straight by a perfectly operating action. 
May we send you a folder more fully describing this arm ?
