Camden Shooting Association. 
Philadelphia, March 28. 
Conditions were anything but favorable to-day for the 
first of the matches by the Camden Shooting Association 
for the Forest Hill A. A. trophy, which is to remain the 
property of the association until it has been won twice 
by the same contestant. Less than a dozen gunners 
braved the elements yesterday afternoon, and considering 
the fact that they faced a sharp wind and a cold, cutting 
rain, the scores registered were fairly good. 
With a score of 40, including his handicap, Captain 
Kling won the event yesterday, and has a grip on at 
least one handle of the big cup. Each contestant shot 
at 50 targets. Following the score of those who struck 
it out to the finish: 
H. B. B . T. 
Johnson . 7 10 12 29 
Starr . 2 12 12 24 
Holloway . 0 14 17 31 
Baltusrol shooters at Baltusrol to-day. At the finish 
the visiting gunners had winged eleven more birds than 
Baltusrol. 
Benjamin C. Fincke with a score of 47 points won the 
take-home trophy. Fincke also received the special prize 
offered by C. H. Stout. The March cup was taken by 
Marshall Geer for the best individual monthly score. 
Laurel House Gun Club. 
Lakewood, March 28. 
In the hundred bird scratch event, Archibald J. Mc¬ 
Clure, of New York, and William G. Schauffler, of 
Lakewood, tied with seventy-five breaks. In the shoot- 
off, McClure bested Schauffler. In this event J. Luther 
Bright scored 73 and Frank F. Vanderhoff 70. Archibald 
McClure took the challenge cup of fifty birds with 42 
breaks. William G. Schauffler broke 41, Arthur E. Whit¬ 
ney 40 and Frederick A. Potts 39. F. A. Potts captured 
the 100-bird handicap event with 82 breaks, McClure kill¬ 
ing 79, William G. Schauffler 79, Luther Bright 77, 
Arthur E. Whitney 77. 
The day marked the end of the season contest for 
three silver trophies which the gun club offered. J. 
Luther Bright, of Elberon and Lakewood, was awarded 
the season challenge cup, William G. Schauffler the sea¬ 
son handicap cup, and Archibald McClure, of New York, 
the season scratch cup. Many entries were made to-day 
for the big championship shoot to be held here next 
Wednesday. The entries include shooters from the 
Field and Marine, of New York; Athletic Club, of New 
York; the New Rochelle Gun Club, Wilmington Gun 
Club, of Delaware; the Queens Club and Crescent Club, 
of Long Island; Rumson Gun Club and Newark Gun 
Club. The event promises to be one of the biggest 
shoots of the year in the state. 
Marine and Field Club. 
Bath Beach, March 28, 1914. 
Prizes were well distributed at the Bath Beach traps 
of the Marine and Field Club to-day. Dr. Hopkins was 
the only double winner. He took the Monthly Cup after 
a shoot off against Dr. Sauer, and then captured a leg 
on the Sayre Cup. The win on the Monthly Cup gave 
him three legs on the trophy, more than enough to win 
the prize. C. N. Camp scored a leg on the President’s 
Cup and President Paul R. Towne won the Take Hope 
Trophy. The Du Pont Trophy ended in a tie, which 
will be shot off next Saturday. The Marine and Field 
Club will give a big invitation shoot on April 9. 
NESTLENOOK. 
By Charles Nevers Holmes. 
Down in the woods where the brown thrush sings 
And whisp’ring winds ’mid the pine trees sigh, 
There’s a hidden glade where echo rings 
And sparkling rills bubble blithely by; 
A sun-kissed glade where the butterfly 
’Mid flowers flits upon gorgeous wings, 
A meadow gay with the dairy's eye 
Where honey-bee to the clover clings; 
Deep in the depth of the woods where lie 
Shadows from dawn until dusk draws nigh, 
Down in the heart of. sequestered things 
Is this hidden glade where echo rings, 
A nestlenook ’mid the pine tree high 
Where whispering zephyrs softly sigh.
