The season of trap- 
shooting is just beginning. This 
promises to be the biggest year in the history 
of the sport. Thousands of new amateurs have joined 
the ranks and become fascmated with the game. 
It teaches you easy familiarity 
with a gtm —teaches you to shoot accurately 
on the wing—makes a good sportsman of you and leads you 
to the out-of-doors. There isn’t half as much difficulty in 
learning as some of you seem to think. If you want to be a 
good wing-shot, this is the way to learn. 
At the very beginning make it a point 
to ask for—and insist upon Dead Shot powder in all 
your shells. It is a smokeless powder that has the lightest 
recoil, the greatest velocity and insures the closest pattern. 
If you will use Dead Shot exclusively and allow no one to advise you 
to the contrary, you will learn trap-shooting in less time, and with 
better results, than in any other way. 
Most of the world’s best records have been made with 
Dead Shot. You can shoot it all day without injury to your shoulder 
and old hunters know what that means. Better profit by their example 
and start right. If you use some powder of tremendous explosive force, you 
will likely tire of the sport mighty quickly. So pin your faith to Dead Shot 
and make your beginning effective. 
All dealers—all hardware stores that sell ammunition—have 
all makes of shells loaded with Dead Shot. All you have to do is to ask for 
Dead Shot, and your dealer will understand that you know your busmess.

High Average Trophy we are offering to the Amateurs.

Larchmont Y. C. 
Larchmont, N. Y., April 19.—Eighty-five dried mud 
distributors made impressionistic paintings in the atmos¬ 
phere with wads and fragments to-day as the final of 
the Larchmont trap season. It was an all day go, the 
last event being pulled in the dim, damp darkness. An 
open 200 scaler event, a twenty-man New York vs. Long 
Island team shoot, and a Larchmont championship con¬ 
test kept four traps incessant. 
New York trimmed Long Island by 3342 to 3146, 
leading in every string, and in an interclub match 
Larchmont’s squad of five had 23 points up on the Coun¬ 
try Club of Westchester. Although the regular Country 
Club squad was among those absent, some of the best 
from N. Y. A. C. failed to stop Spotts & Co. 
Ralph Spotts was of course high man, and won also 
Larchmont championship for the third time. He missed 
only 13 birds in 200, and had three perfect scores. The 
summaries:
