Herron Hill Gun Club. 
Pittsburgh, Pa., April 30, 1914. 
Under separate cover we sent ■'■ou a program of Penn¬ 
sylvania ‘ State Sportsmen’s Association Tournament to 
be held in Pittsburgh on the grounds of the Herron Hill 
Gun Club at Davis Island, on May 20th to 22nd, inclu¬ 
sive. 
In putting out this program to the trapshooters of the 
State of Pennsylvania, we have given it the most care¬ 
ful consideration and endeavored to give the poor shot 
an equal chance to win some of the purse, and yet have 
made the program attractive enough to make it an object 
for the good shot to shoot through. By using the two 
systems the 65 per cent, to 75 per cent, shooter will have 
an opportunity to win in the Lewis Class system and if 
in poor form, will be taken care of by the Squier Money 
Back. 
The Herron Hill Gun Club and its members have do¬ 
nated about $800 to be added in addition to the 1 cent 
front each target that is trapped, which, following the 
program very carefully, if there are fifty thousand tar¬ 
gets thrown in the tournament, that would make another 
$500, together with what the interstate Association has 
contributed, makes over $1,500. In going over the pro¬ 
gram you will note the total entrance for both sweep- 
stake, the Squier Money-Back and Lewis Class Systems, 
to which the Club adds $100 is $14 for the first day. He 
has a chance to win in the sweepstake and at least 
twelve chances in the Lewis Class System, and if he 
fails to win anything in either of the classes, the Squier 
Money-Back will pay him $9, leaving his day’s sport 
to cost him $5. The second day his entrance fee would be 
$12 with the same opportunity of winning, and if he 
fails to win either the Lewis or Squier Money-Back, he 
would be out $5. The third day is the same as the 
first day; entrance fee of $14, and if he fails to win i 
either of the classes, he would receive $9 and his sport 
for that day would cost him $5; so by going over the 
program very carefully, you will note that a contestant 
can shoot the three days’ regular program, which con¬ 
sists of 500 .targets, and if he fails to have a winning 
streak, the total cost for the three days’ sport would 
be $15. 
The poorer shot shooting in the three days will have 
at least forty-eight chances of winning some money i 
the Lewis Class System to which the club adds $350 and 
the Squier Money-Back pays his losses with the excep¬ 
tion of the $5 for each day. Should the entry be as 
large as anticipated, at the end of three days there 
should be a very handsome purse, after our losses have 
been paid, to make it worth while for the good shot who 
shoots through the program to attend this tournament. 
Recently the opening shoot of the Central Trap Shooters 
of Ohio, who have a program on the same broad lines, 
had a remarkable entrance of 141 shooters, which goes 
to prove that the program appeals to the poorer shot as 
well as the good shot. 
Any sportsmen who desired to attend this tournament 
who have not received a program, by addressing Louis 
Lautenslager, 625 Liberty .avenue,- Pittsburgh, Pa., can 
receive one upon application.

Nemours (Ladies) Trapshooting Club. 
Wilmington, Del., May 7, 1914. 
Yesterday was an ideal one for shooting, clear and 
warm with very little wind. Seventeen women shooters 
and a number of visitors were at the traps. L. D. 
Willis and J. B. McHugh, two well known shooters of 
the Du Pont brought their wives out during the after¬ 
noon for a try at the flying targets, and they did very 
well indeed. Mrs. Willis broke one out of ten, and Mrs. 
McHugh two out of eight. Mrs. E. C. Carley, another 
of our new shooters, broke three out of thirteen. While 
Mrs. McHugh was being initiated into the Sport Allur¬ 
ing her two little girls whom she brought out with her, 
were having their fun picking wild flowers in another 
part of the grounds. A short distance from .the Club 
House, and out of range of the shooters the spring vio¬ 
lets have formed a regular purple carpet, and here both 
the ladies and children delight in coming. Mrs. Edith 
R. Munson of Hagerstown, Md., who is a guest of the 
Misses Gentieu, came out to watch the shooters. She 
was very enthusiastic and thinks she will try her hand 
at trapshooting the next time she comes to Wilmington. 
In the regular event yesterday Miss Jessie Gentieu, 
a comparatively new shooter, scored seventeen breaks 
out of her twenty-five and made the high actual score 
for the day. 
In the Ramsay Trophy event six of the ladies, Mrs. 
W. A. Joslyn, Miss B. V. Carson, Mrs. F. W. Wilson, 
Miss H. D. Hammond, Mrs. White and Mrs. B. V. 
Clark with their handicaps tied. In the shootoff of ten 
birds, Mrs. Joslyn broke 5, Miss Carson 5, Mrs. Wilson 
5, Miss Hammond 6, Mrs. White 3, and Mrs. B. V. 
Clark 5. As the same proportion of handicap that gov¬ 
erned the first twenty-five “birds” shot at also gov¬ 
erned the shootoff, Mrs. Wilson was found to have made 
the highest total handicap score in the shootoff and was 
awarded the Ramsay Trophy until the next regular 
shoot. 
Mrs. E. L. Riley was the winner of a beautiful 
amethyst brooch, the gift of Mrs. Adolph Topperwein, 
for having made the highest total handicap score for the 
month of April. 
Scores yesterday (25 targets) follow: 
Mrs. White, 8; Mrs. Springer, 5; Miss H. D. Hammond, 
15; Miss Lannan, 9; Mrs. Wilson, 10; Mrs. Riley, 10; 
Mrs. Joslyn, 16; Miss Riley, 9; Miss Carson, 15; Mrs. 
B. V. Clark, 11; Miss Schofield, 5; Miss J. A. Gentieu, 
17; Miss C. D. Gentieu. 10: Miss Wynands, 2; Mrs. Wil¬

Special attention is called to the scores made by Mrs. 
Gray. She seems to be starting off this spring in the 
same excellent form in which she finished the season 
last fall, and the scores which she made in the American 
Rounds on April 25th and May 2d seems to indicate a 
successful season for her. LOUIS C. SMITH. 
N. C. R. Gun Club. 
Dayton, May 4, 1914. 
This time we were fortunate enough to have a fine 
day. and a large number of our shooters attended. 
Scores show some good shooting was done. 
Although we did not have the good fortune to win 
the Du Pont Telegraphic Tournament Trochy we have 
enjoyed the contest and extend our sincere, and hearty 
congratulations to .he winners. 
We were doubly fortunate this afeemoon as our friends 
from the Springfield Gun Club came down to shoot 
with us and their Mr. Harry Downey also brought us 
the good news that when the official count was taken 
it was found that the N. C. R. Gun Club Team and 
the Springfield Team had tied for first place in the 
Five Man Team Shoot of the Central Ohio League 
Tournament held last Tuesday, April 28th, at Spring- 
field, Ohio, each team having made a total of 468 out 
of a possible 500. 
We are greatly pleased to report the splendid success 
of this first tournament, as 133 amateurs and 8 profes-
