FOREST AND STREAM 
Jan. 4, 1913 
Siwanoy Country Club. 
jMt. \’ernon, N. Y., Dec. 26.—The Siwanoy Gun 
Club, of Mt. Vernon, .\. V.. had a turnout of twenty 
enthusiastic members to face the traps at the Christmas 
Day competitions. The foot of snow that fell on the 
Pay previous made a beautiful background apparently, 
but the dazzling white in the foreground, fringed by the 
dark tree trunks, seemed to contribute to low scoring, in 
spite of the otherwise favorable weather conditions. 
The first event on the program was the fourth com¬ 
petition for the handsome president’s trophy, handicapped 
on the Du Pont system, with a distribution of points to 
the ten high guns. G. A. W ylie and Dr. Currie tied for 
first honors, each obtaining a score of 9% points. The 
standing to date of highest total points won in the presi¬ 
dent’s .trophy is: Dr. Barnard 22, G. A. Wylie 19, W. 
'J'horpe IT.S, Z. C. OflV.tt, 16.5, G. L. Yates 15, M. R. 
(.luggenheim 13, W. M. Wvlie 13 and T. H. Lawrence 
11.5. 
The second event on the program was for the Cap¬ 
tain’s trophy, which is a miss-and-out competition, 10 
straight kills being necessary to win a leg. L. G. Bond 
and Dr. Barnard were high guns, but did not quite 
qualify. 
Considerable interest attached to the contest for the 
“’take-home” trophies, first being won by G. L. Yates 
with a clean score with his handicap. Dr. Currie, L. D. 
Hill and Plarry Jlorgan tied for second place at 23 each, 
with Currie the winner after the shoot-off. Aided by his 
handicap of 5, L. G. Bond won first place tor the Du 
I’ont trophy with a clean score: H. J. Smith with a 
handicap of 6, was a close second. Scores:

L. D. riiLL, Sec’y Gun Section. 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
D.\yton, Ky., Dec. 22. — The turkey shoot held to-day 
was one of the most successful affairs of the kind that 
has been given in this locality for a long time. A large 
attendance, thirty-one shooters, entering during the day. 
and twenty-five shooting the entire program of five 20- 
target events. W'eather conditions were perfect, and 
some extra good scores were recorded. There was a good 
turnout of local shooters, and among the well-known out- 
of-town contestants were: L. J. Squier, Pittsburgh, Pa., 
and R. O. Heikes, Dayton, O., both professionals; J. G. 
P'rancis and .1. M. Cleaver, Harrison; E. and A. Bauer, 
Lawrence, Ind.; H. and A. Sundy, \Villiamsport, O.; S. 
Leever, ex-twirler of the Pittsburghs, and T. J. Du... 
Goshen, O.; Towler, Mt. Healthy, O., and T. J. Don¬ 
ald, Felixity, O. 
As usual, at the club shoots, Elmer Lamb was in 
charge of the office, and was ready to deliver the prizes 
to the winners as soon as the last ties were decided in 
the last event. 
The program, as arranged by the managers—H. R. 
Irwin and G. W. Damcron — was a liberal one, and their 
efforts to have the prizes well distributed, met with a 
large measure of success. P'our prizes were given in 
each event — turkey to first, duck to second, chicken to 
third, and can of oysters to fourth. Ties for all but the 
turkey were decided by the score in the following event, 
e.xcept in the last event, which was shot off, miss-and- 
out. The ties for first prize were shot off miss-and-out 
at the conclusion of each event. The winner of first 
prize in any event was handicapped for the balance of 
the program. The winner in the first event went to 
13yds. in the second event; if he won again, he went to 
19yds., and if again the winner, he went to 20yds., the 
limit. A turkey was given to the man making high 
score for the entire program, and the low man was also 
given a turkey. One of the famous club dinners was 
served in the club house at noon. Shooting began about 
11 o’clock, and the last tie was decided soon after four. 
Elmer Lamb, as usual, had charge of the office, and was 
ready to deliver the prizes to the winners at the close of 
the shoot. 
The fine weather brought out a large crowd of spec¬ 
tators. S. Leever was high amateur with 97 out of 100. 
He went straight in the first two events, and dropped 1 
target in each of the last three. Dameron and Irwin 
came .next among the amateurs with 94 each, the latter 
shooting from 18 and 19yds. after the first event. F. 
Holaday was third with 93. R. O. Heikes got in 
second place for the day and led the professionals with 
a score of 96; O. J. Holaday was second with 94, and L. 
J. Squier finished with 91. Hammerschmidt was not in 
his best form, though he shot well in all but the second 
event; he tied with T. J. Dull and Ford on 90. In the 
first event Irwin and Leever tied on 20, the latter win- 
n'ng the miss-and-out, 4 to 3. The second event brought 
Leever and Donald together in the shoot-off. the former 
winning, 5 to 4. In the third event, Irwin, Holaday and 
Dull tied on 20. Dull missed the first target, Holaday 
the second and Irwin proved the winner. The fourth 
event had five men in the tie with 19 each, and the shoot- 
off proved to be a close fight between Leever and Ham¬ 
merschmidt. The others were quickly disposed of, Ford 
droppin.g his third target, Holaday his fifth and Dameron 
his ninth. The first two scored the first 20 targets, and 
then each missed his 21st. Starting again, Hammer¬ 
schmidt dropped his seventh target, but Leever scored 
and won the turkey, his total score being 46 to 45 out 
of 47 in the event and shoot-offs. 
The winners in the events follow in the order of 
their standing; 
First event; H. R. Irwin, T. I. Dull, J. Schreck, 
A. C. Ertel. 
Second event: Leever, Dull, F. Holaday, Hammer¬ 
schmidt. 
Third event: Irwin, Leever, Ford, Clements.
