Midwinter Handicap. 
Advance indications point to a large, classy and ex¬ 
tensive representation for the sixth annual midwinter 
trapshooting handicap at Pinehurst, North Carolina, 
scheduled for Jan. 22, 23, 24, 25. From inquiries num¬ 
bering several hundred and covering all sections, many 
advance entries have been received and a large number 
planning to come on the Saturday preceding the tourna¬ 
ment for preliminary practice and the enjoyment of the 
diversified attractions which the village affords. The 
nuniber of ladies in attendance will be unusually large 
and special plans are being made for their entertain¬ 
ment, among them a bridge party at The Carolina, tea 
at the Country Club, and the usual dances. 
Many improvements at the trapshooting ground en¬ 
hance their attractiveness, and the background has long 
been considered ideal, situated as they are on the crest 
of a hill which slopes gradually away into the distance, 
with the sky for the limit. Some idea of their location 
may be gained by the accompanying picture taken dur¬ 
ing last winter’s shoot. 
Now York A. C. 
Pelham Manor, N. Y., Jan. 1.—The feature to-day 
was a holiday cup for both the scratch and the handicap 
gunners. The latter event was won by C. W. Billings. 
In the handicap event T. Lenane, Jr., C. W. Billings, 
Pr. Culver, Pr. Pe Wolfe, J. I. Brandenburg, A. W. 
Church and J. M. Jones tied with full scores. Eight 
shoot-offs were required before Jones took the cup. 
Two new cups were placed in competition to-dav. 
Pne, offered by Mr. Stein, was captured by B. M. 
Higginson. The other was the Thomson trophy and 
was won by T. Lenane. Both events will run through¬ 
out the month. The January cup and Travers Island 
trophies were taken by C. W. Billings. He also scored 
a leg on the Olympic cup with a full. The distance

Westwood Gun Club. 
The club entertained a squad of Cincinnati Gun Club 
members at the grounds on Jan. 4. The visitation was 
unexpected, but the home boys dropped their work and 
arranged an afternoon’s sport for their guests. The high 
score was made by Hammerschmidt, who broke 66 out 
of 75, getting 47 out of the last 50. Sundy came second 
with 44. 
The new house will be completed in a week or ten 
days. Several of the members will visit the Cincinnati 
Gun Club on the 12th, when Fred Gilbert, the well- 
known professional expert of Spirit Lake, la., is to De 
present. The ground was covered with snow, and a cold 
wind, sweeping over the hills, made it too cold for the 
boys, so that only a few targets were trapped.

46 in the second, giving him a total of 111 out of 115 
on singles. Silver was not far behind when he totaled 
92 out of lOO in the two main events. Mrs. Fetherston
