Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 20.—The New York State 
Sportsman’s Association’s annual meeting and tourna¬ 
ment will be held this year on June 10, 11 and 12, under 
the auspices of the Buffalo Audubon Club, and already 
considerable work has been done toward making the 
shoot one of the best in the country, and inquiries re¬ 
garding date, programs, etc., are already coming in, 
thus indicating a State-wide interest. The officers are: 
1!. V. Covert President, and C. F. Lambert, Secretary- 
Treasurer. The shoot will be registered with the Inter¬ 
state Association. 
The Audubon Club has gone on record as favoring 
the Weeks and McLean bills now before Congress, for 
the protection and propagation of our native and the 
migratory birds, and letters have been received from 
Congressmen Smith and Driscoll, also from Senators 
Boot and O’German, signifying their intention of sup¬ 
porting the same. 
High winds and rain interfered with the regular 
shoot yesterday, but about fifteen members attended. 
Dr. Wootton, who has been out of the game for some 
time, showed the boys he has not lost his eye, by tying 
for first honors with Fish, with Hammond and Mc- 
Cutcheon next in order. 
Joe Jennings, champion of Canada, stopped off on 
his way to Pinehurst, where he, with Messrs. Wright, 
Kelsey, Covert and Hopper, of the Audubons, will 
compete against the world’s best shots. Scores:

Intercollegiate Trap Notes. 
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 16.-—Two intercollegiate gun 
team meets are held each year, one in the fall, the other 
in the spring. Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, and 
Pennsylvania have, till this past fall entered teams in 
these shoots. Dartmouth and Pennsylvania being unable 
to be represented this year, Yale, Harvard and Princeton 
met over the Yale traps on Nov. 23, Yale winning the 
meet for the eighth consecutive year by the following 
score: Yale 399, Princeton 395, Harvard 360. 
A high wind made the targets difficult, and as a re¬ 
sult, the scores are lower than usual, Capt. N. R. White, 
of Princeton, taking high gun with a total of 85 out of 
100. Nimick, of Princeton, followed with 83. Yale’s 
shooting was very close—a fact which gave them the 
victory over Princeton. Both Princeton and Harvard 
were erratic, which lowered their totals to a marked 
degree. Thompson, of Yale, and Bullock, of Harvard, 
deserve special mention, both of these men making high 
scores considering the weather conditions. 
Besides the intercollegiate shoots, Yale, Harvard and 
Princeton hold dual matches. Yale this fall won both 
of these events, beating Harvard and Princeton by 16 
birds. 
Interest in trapshooting at Yale has increased re¬ 
markably in the past few years, the Yale Gun Club now 
totalling about sixty members. Two practice shoots 
are held each week, either among the members or with 
club teams near New Haven. These practice shoots are 
held on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, and we 
should be glad to welcome any visitor who may be in¬ 
terested in trapshooting. J. L. B.

Wn-MtNGTON, Del., Jan. 18.—Brother Banks calls to¬ 
day’s program a bill of fare. I should characterize it as 
a bill of excellence. The three main features alone were 
enough to charm the heart and satisfy the longings of 
those who enjoy competition in the fraternity of aero- 
saucer disintegrators. The T. Coleman du Pont spoon 
event carded fifty-one contestants—and that’s the word 
right here—ten of the aggregation were, however, from 
the development squad, too old for spoons, now at the 
fork age, or who had more intimate affiliations else¬ 
where. High eligibles were J. H. Minnick, Eugene du 
Pont and Billy Foord (tied at 23) in Class A; W. B. 
Smith with 21 in Class B; W. J. Highfield with 21 in 
Class C; W. F. Jensen with 20 in Class D; D. S. Wood, 
S. W. Long tied on 14 in Class E. 
J. R. Graham, advance man for Hercules, made 
what, under existing weather conditions, was an excep¬ 
tional score—96 out of 100. 
In the Eugene E. du Pont team trophy contests Z. 
H. Lofland and Dr. E. Q. Bullock scored the maximum 
of 50, and added 4 points to their totals. J. B.. Grier and 
W. B. Smith, Jr., recorded a total of 49 and got 3 
points each. In the third place, and with a credit of 2 
points each, were three teams: C. E. Springer and J. W. 
Anderson, Jr., B. F. Stevens and W. F. Jensen, Dr. 
Arthur Patterson and S. G. David. In the fourth place, 
with a total of 47, was the team made up of J. H. Min¬ 
nick and Victor du Pont. Fourteen teams took part. 
Challenge matches for the class cups came out as 
follows: Class A—H. P. Carlon ,42, beat L. C. Lyon 
34. Class B—N. K. Smith, 39, defeated C. T. Martin, 35. 
Class C—Albert Bird, 34, defeated J. H. Squires, 20. 
Class D—W. F. Jensen, 38, defeated M. E. Ross 33. 
Owing to Mr. Jensen’s winning the spoon in Class D 
to-day, this moves him up into Class C, and consequent¬ 
I F you go in for indoor target shooting with rifle or pistol, of 
course you want to excel. To do so you must use uniform, 
dependable ammunition. Some makes of cartridges are 
as variable as the weather. Some shots go high, some go low, 
and some don’t go at all. For accuracy and all around satisfaction, 
you can bank on

Composite target, actual size, of 200 shots fired by 
G. W. Chesley in ten different matches in the Inter- 
Club Series of 1911-12. Score 1990 out of 2000,—The 
World’s Record. Made with Winchester .22 Long Rifle 
“ Lesmok ” Cartridges and a Winchester Musket. 
A WORLD’S RECORD TARGET 
Rifle and Pistol Cartridges 
In all kinds of competition they continue to excel. They are made by people 
who have learned in making firearms many fine points about cartridges that 
could be learned in no other way. No matter what the make or style of your 
favorite arm is, you can bring out its possiblities to the fullest degree by using 
ly the Class D cup will be up for open competition 
at the next shoot. 
The scores made in the Coleman du Pont spoon 
contests were: 
Class A—J. H. Minnick, E. E. du Pont and W. M.

Dunkirk Gun Club. 
Dunkirk, N. Y., Jan. 13.—Following are the scores 
made at our monthly shoot, held Jan. 12 at the club’s- 
grounds. Most of the boys shot at 75 targets. The 
weather was very cold, and the wind blew a gale, but 
for all that the boys seemed to have a good time. 
Leyer was high gun in Class A for the prize shoot. 
No. 1, with 23. Schweda and J. Houser tied with 19 
each in Class B. Houser won on the shoot-off. G. 
Houser and Flanigan tied with 16 each in Class C,
