Happy New Year, Hercules. May your fame and 
popularity be to the shooting field as “the Birth of 
Venus’’ is to the field of art. May your progeny be 
heard from shore to shore, and may the man behind the 
gun in Maine speak well of you to his confrere in Cali¬ 
fornia. May your path be strewn with chilled shot and 
fragments of shattered clay targets. 
Bumpers to the baby Hercules and those to whom 
his destiny has been assigned. To the “Birth of 
Hercules.’’ Bottoms up!

Prosit! Hoping that the thousands of novice 
trapshooters and experienced field shooters, who, 
during the past year, have refrained from the pleasures 
of trapshooting because they were afraid the small 
scores they might make for a while would bring ridicule 
upon their efforts, and who felt they were not wanted 
in regular club shoots, will lose sight of so foolish an 
idea and join the clay target fraternity. The disc break¬ 
ers’ league is one full of fraternal spirit. Every member 
of it will offer a helping hand to the tyro, encouraging 
him with useful tips and generous handicap. Join the 
chorus now, and probably by spring you will be doing 
solo parts with chilled No. 8s to the encore of the same 
bunch with whom you did finger exercises to the accom¬ 
paniment of a busted metronome. Time, in trapshoot¬ 
ing, is the secret of success — the one thing upon which 
hangs the possibility of a berth in the upper register; and 
—there is no time like the present.

Highland Gun Club. 
Edge Hill, Pa., Dec. 28.—Tom Tansey was the 
lime lighter to-day at the monthly shoot of the Highland 
(lun Club, getting high with 69 out of 75. George S. 
McCarty, the only other entrant in Class A, finished 
second by smashing 63. Other spoon winners were Joel 
Davis in Class B, when in the first two events carded 
he missed only one target in a total of 25, running 
straight in the second. In Class C, Laurent was the 
dipper winner, and Jones captured the prize in Class D 
after a shoot-off with Fell and Deist. There were five 
perfect scores in the handicap event for the club button. 
and after a close shoot-off Jones landed the emblem for 
the ensuing month. In the shoot at 5 pairs of doubles 
Freed was high with 8, after a hard shoot over the 
second tr.ap, where often the clay birds got lost in the 
shadows of the bare trees. Scores:
