In a spirited shoot off of a tie for a Soleman du- 
Pont Spoon, which has been hanging fire for several 
weeks, the score was: 
H. P. Carlon . 23 x 25 
Billy Edmanson . 21 x 25 
John Minnick . 20 x 35 
An event at 25 targets was also shot. This was 
known as the “Knickerbocker Special” and was open 
only to members of the well-known Knickerbocker Club. 
For several weeks they have been planning on this 
shoot, and while about 50 have been boasting of their 
prowess in the field with the scatter gun, but a very 
few have ever shot over the traps. The scores were 
good, and many who never shot at clay targets before 
became converts to the sport this afternoon. Several 
handsome prizes had been donated, and the competi¬ 
tion for them was very keen. The score in detail fol¬ 
lows:

True Anglers Use 
Tbe Williams Barbless Hook 
Because it is guaranteed to catch and hold better than a 
barbed hook, and you can remove the fish without injury. 
Yearlings, spawn and their killing wastes thousands of eggs. 
Does this mean anything to you? It means ruin to a glorious 
sport. The Williams Barbless Hook is a scientific and prac¬ 
tical lure, no mechanism, just its ingenious shape. Highest 
quality standard flies, $1.60 per dozen, and bait hooks, *25 
cents. Postpaid.

Limited Gun Club. 
Columbus, May 14, 1914- 
The Limited Gun Club of Columbus held its first 
shoot of the season under almost ideal weather condi¬ 
tions Thursday. May 14th. The chief attraction of the 
afternoon was Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein, well known 
to Forest and Stream readers. 
About one thousand people saw them give an hour’s 
exhibition of some of their remarkable feats. It is not 
necessary to go into details concerning their work. 
Their exhibition of aiming at targets with a mirror, 
engraving an Indian head on a metal sheet with rifle 
bullets or destroying small marbles throw i in the air 
are known by sportsman all over the United States and 
Canada. 
Considering that it was the first shoot of the season 
fair scores were made at the traps. Mrs. Topperwein 
led with a percentage of 88.8 on one hundred and twenty- 
five rocks. The official score follows:

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., May 16, 1914. 
Tlie day was fine, a good clear atmosphere, and no 
wind to interfere with the flight of the targets and as 
a natural result the scores were better than they have 
been for several moons. Dixon butted in as high 
gun today and has nothing to say about the targets 
not being regulation and all that sort of stuff, his 86 
per cent, made him forget it. Two newcomers joined 
us today—Mr. Ilipkins of Ridgewood, N. J., and Dr. 
Pinkerton of Bayonne, N. J., and the way they started 
in it don’t look as if they will need any instructions 
from the rest of us about how to hold and etc. Dr. 
Moeller of Nyack, N. Y. was out for the first time
