Don’t Shoulder The Gun Makers’ Problems 
Your own problems—Distance. Weather, Game Weariness, etc.—are enough. 
Every problem of Mechanism should be already solved Jor you by the gun maker. Any shortcoming —big or 
little—merely doubles your difficulty. 
"Six times 23 Years’ Experience’’—the six Hunter brothers’ twenty-three years of absolute Concentration of 
Purpose —insures you against shot-gun shortcomings. 
It has conquered—one by one—all the gun makers’ problems, big and little—until today improvements and 
inventions cease to stand out against the perfection of the entire Smith Gun—the gun with "No Shortcomings.’’ 
Just examine the new 1913 Smith Guns at your dealer’s. Or send for the Book of Smith Guns which shows 
colored plates of handsome styles from $25 to $1000 net. Write for it now—before you lay this magazine aside.

RANDOM EIGHTS. 
R. Company had plans drawn for a new million-dollar 
hotel in Dayton. This will be the greatest boon and 
most needed improvement now lacking in one of the 
most courageous and hospitable cities in the world. 
Bill MacCandless didn’t stop long enough to eat a 
meal during the week. To him belongs a full share of 
credit for the success of the fourteenth G. A. H. 
Northwestern Sportsmen’s Association.

There were 190,500 targets thrown during the six 
days’ events. 
A blacksmith beat a banker in the race for G. A. H. 
honors. 
A dozen or more trapshooters could be seen every 
morning galloping over the Patterson estate. Fortu¬ 
nately, all were not scored on their riding ability. 
Covert was the only eastern shooter to- get into 
the money. 
John Phillip Sousa, Tom Marshall, Walter Huff and 
brother Bippus shared honors among the gentle sex. 
Tom was about four up at the finish. 
President Patterson was at the grounds at six in 
the morning casting his trained and all-seeing eye about 
for things that could be improved. After the third visit 
there wasn’t anything that needed betterment. 
Among the special features on the grounds was a 
free, tipless barbershop, stenographer for free use of 
shooters, telephone, telegraph, railroad ticket office, 
post office, hospital with registered physician and trained 
nurse and 1,000 full length free lockers. 
The N. C. R. band discoursed music every afternoon. 
A special meeting of the Interstate Association was 
held on the roof of the Algonquin Hotel (the only 
comfortable place about the house) for the purpose of 
rescinding the by-laws that prohibits holding the G. A. 
H. two years in succession in the same place. Needless 
to say, Dayton may have the event next year, although 
it must formally be assigned at the annual meeting in 
December. 
John Phillip Sousa, a keen trapshooter, made the 
remark that Dayton, like Venus, emerged from her bath 
much improved. 
Charley North is reported to have found a com¬ 
fortable room in Dayton. Wilmington papers please 
copy. 
At the banquet Thursday night I’ice-President Deeds 
announced to the tune of much encore that the N. C. 
At the meeting following the banquet some one made 
the suggestion that all shooters wear white coats and 
blue trousers. Mrs. Ad. Topperwein rose to a point of 
order. 
It’s a fact that the bell boys in the Algonquin sug¬ 
gested to Jim Skelly that he go up in the freight 
elevator, and he went (passenger L was busted). 
E. Reed Shaner, with the precepts of his father, took 
care of all the details without allowing a hitch, while 
Elmer was everywhere with a cheery word and a smile 
Some day Elmer is. going to quit active work at the 
G. A. H., but we hope the day is a long way off. 
Will Luther Squier please send his lost speech .to 
Chairman Deeds for publication in the N. C. R. special 
edition. 
Wouldn’t J. H. Patterson make a delightful and 
valuable honorary member in the Interstate Association. 
We should be glad to share our place at table with him. 
At a meeting of the Westy Hogans, held during 
the Grand American Handicap, it was finally decided to 
hold the tournament on the dates originally scheduled, 
at Venice Park, Atlantic City. The impression that 
a shoot would not be held is incorrect. The reason for 
that wrong impression, no doubt, was because the 
Hogans could not get a pier, there being none avail¬ 
able this year, but they have positive assurance that next 
year a pier will be at their disposal.

Very poor scores resulted at the week end shoot held 
on the club grounds on Saturday afternoon June 21, due 
to the wind, which took a prominent hand in the sport 
and played various and sundry tricks with the targets

The weekly trophies offered by the club were won 
by the following contestants; Scratch class, first tie, 
Jamison and Price; second, Elliott and E. W. Poin¬ 
dexter. Class A, first, J. W. Poindexter; second, D. R. 
Hunt; Class B, first, tie, B. J. Fishburne and H. R.
