THE CAMPER’S OWN BOOK 
1913-SECOND SUCCESSFUL YEAR-1913 
This is that BIG little book of the open—America’s new outdoor annual. It comes to you bound 
as you see it here. It is “woodsy” from cover to cover—stirred by lake breezes and redolent of 
pine. It is endorsed by outdoor men everywhere. 
Authors of country-wide repute have, with their enthusiasm and familiar knowledge, aided its 
making. Dan Beard, Emlyn M. Gill, Captain Kenealy, Oliver Kemp. Dr. E. H. Forbush—these 
and others join this camn-fire council. They say their say about a hundred practical details that 
hold close interest for you; and they spin a yarn or two by the way. 
“The Camper’s Own Book” measures 8x5 3-8 inches over all. It is a goodly generous volume, 
with over 200 pages and 21 of the finest illustrations you’ve ever seen. Everybody should have a 
copy who believes that a day under the free sky makes the pomp of emperors ridiculous. And 
you’re one—you know you are.

A Country of Fish and Game. A Paradise tor the Camper and Angler. Ideal Canoe Trips. 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all kinds of fish and 
Game. JAll along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their SALMON and TROUT fishing, alio 
Caribou barrens. ^Americans who have been fishing and hunting in Newfoundland say there is no other country 
in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can be secured and with such ease as in Newfoundlani

Delaware State Sportsmen’s Association. 
Wilmington, Del., May 31.—The second annual tour¬ 
nament of the Delaw'are State Sportsmen’s Association, 
ending to-day, was highly successful. The entry list 
was over 100, a fact that speaks for itself as in favor 
with the popular idea. A few of the Du Pent Gun Club’s 
lady members took part in the shoot for prizes, and 
showed good form with their tiny 20-gauge guns. Eleven 
pros shot along in the event for targets only, so that 
as there were about eighty prizes, pretty nearly every 
entry carried something back home with him. 
For the 300 targets on the two days’ program O. R. 
Dickey and W. L. Colfax, Jr., tied for high average 
among the professionals; J. T. Skelly and H. H. Stevens 
tied for second on 280, while Neaf Apgar was third on 278. 
The chief honors must, however, be given to the ama¬ 
teurs, who outshot their professional friends by a solid 
majority. For the two days, C. H. Newcomb was high 
with 289, losing only 11 out of his 3()0; next to him 
came G, S, McCarty and Allen Pleil with 287; in third 
place alone was A. B. Richardson, and H. E. Buckwalter 
with his 284 was in fourth place, but tied, so far as his 
individual score went, with that of the high professionals. 
As the Caldwell trophy, won last year by Harry W. 
Kahler, goes to the amateur breaking the most targets in 
the 360 on the regular events for the two days, another 
Philadelphian, C. H. Newcomb, now holds the trophy 
until the next shoot. After the contests for the trophy 
in 1914 and in 1915 have been decided, all the winners 
of the trophy will have a shoot-off at 100 targets per man 
for filial ownership. Tliis will surely make a shoot-off 
well worth watching. 
The Traffic Departm.ent of the Du Pont Company 
gave last year a sterling silver cup, to be competed for 
on lines similar to those under which the Caldwell 
trophy is competed for, with the single exception that 
the competition for the trophy is open only to amateurs 
who are resident of the State of Delaware. Alden B. 
Richardson, of Dover, won it in 1912 and duplicated his 
victory by taking it again this year with 286 out of 300. 
M. Foord was second with 201, and J. H. Mmnick 
was third with 180. 
The open State championship, a sterling silver trophy, 
open tO' any Delawarean, professional or amateur, was 
placed in open competition, and was the subject of a 
close fight with a plucky finish. The result was a win 
for James T. Skelly, who made the excellent score of 98 
out of 100 targets, running his last 67 straight. His 
score of 98 was three targets better than his nearest 
opponents—Colfax and Minnick, who broke 95 each, 
Richardson landing with 94. Mr. Skelly’s victory was a 
decidedly popular one, but it seems he is not to be al¬ 
lowed to wear his honors long without fighting for them, 
as it is understood that \V. S. Colfax has already put in 
a written challenge to the present holder for a contest 
for the trophy at an early date. ... 
Two runs of over 100 straight were made during the 
tournament, G. S. McCarty making a run of 109, while 
Buckwalter ran 106. The scores;
