Portland G. C. 
Portland, Me., May 12.—There were fourteen shoot¬ 
ers at the weekly shoot of the Portland, Me., Gun Club, 
May 10. In one of the greatest exhibitions of shooting 
seen at the traps of the Portland Gun Club in several 
years, Silas B. Adams broke 92 targets out of 100 on 
Saturday afternoon. His second event he ran straight. 
Ninety-two is a good record at any time, but when 
such a score is made under such conditions as prevailed 
Saturdav, it is wonderful. Not only was the wind strong, 
but it was gusty, and the birds on leaving the traps took 
all kinds of flights. The conditions were the most diffi¬ 
cult ever seen at the grounds, and recalled the time in 
1911, when Silas Adams, by making the magnificent total 
of 98 under conditions very similar, won the New Eng¬ 
land individual championship at singles. 
A feature of the shooting this afternoon was the 
work of Gil Wheeler, who came up from Brunswick to 
take part in the event. Wheeler did the best shooting 
he has ever done at the Portland grounds, and was 
right on the heels of Billy Hill, the crack pro., all 
through. He got a margin of a bird in his favor in the 
first event, when he scored 22 to Hill’s 21, but in the 
second string. Hill was snuffing pigeons, and was down 
only one, while Gil dropped 4. The third event was a 
tie, but in the fourth, Wheeler gained a bird and fin¬ 
ished but one in the rear. Scores:

New York St&te Sportsmen’s Association. 
New York, N. Y. —With reference to the forthcom¬ 
ing State shoot, arrangements are practically complete, 
and programs will be in readiness for mailing on May 24. 
The list of prizes for the annual merchandise event, 
while not yet complete, we feel assured that a sufficient 
number will be provided that each shooter in attendance 
will receive one, even should the number of shooters be 
double that of the few years previous. 
The merchandise and added money will be awarded 
under the provisions of the Lewis system, thereby in¬ 
suring to the less skillful shooters prizes worth while. 
And the term “less skillful shooters’’ brings to mind one 
of the sayings of Abraham Lincoln, for on this class must 
depend the success of this or any like tournament. 
At the head of Class A is a piano, which prize has 
seemingly become a necessity at our State shoots. Class 
B is headed by a Victrola, and Class C carries as first 
prize an L. C. Smith single trigger gun with case, listed 
at ?160. Each of these classes will carry not less than 
forty prizes, very few of which are worth less than the 
cost of entrance. 
The tournament will be held in Kenilworth Park, 
which will be remembered as the scene of the 1909 East¬ 
ern Handicap. C. F. Lambert, Sec’y-Treas.

Marthasville, Mo., May 17.—The busy season still 
keeps our attendance small at the weekly practice shoots. 
A. F. Ahmann won the Du Pont fob to-day, making the 
third time he has won it, so that now it is out of com¬ 
petition. Ahman uses a Winchester automatic gun, 
Ballistite powder and Nitro Club shells. 
To-morrow a few of our members will be in St. 
Charles, Mo., to shoot at an opening shoot there. Last 
Monday our club shot at Warrenton in a club match. 
We had seventeen shooters there, and they had fifteen 
shooting. We counted the ten highest scores on each 
side, and they won by 8 targets. Their ten best broke 
439 out of 500, and ours 431. All shooting shot at BO 
targets. 
The scores of our club shoot follow, 50 targets each: 
Ahman 45, G. Fortmann 42, E. Suhre 36, Meyer 34, 
O. Johannaber 27. J. O. Wilson, Sec’y. 
60 1 50-1 40-1 
The above are the odds you are tak¬ 
ing against your winning first, second 
or third money respectively in the 
Grand American Handicap 
Dayton, Ohio, June 17-20, 1913 
A Solid Gold Trophy, Value $100, will also 
be donated to the winner, by the Interstate 
Association. 
FIRST MONEY, $600,00 GUARANTEED 
SECOND MONEY, $500,00 GUARANTEED 
THIRD MONEY, $400,00 GUARANTEED 
This Tournament will be held under the auspices of the 
N. C. R. Gun Club, and gives promise of an entry list 
that will surpass all previous records. 
$2,000 ADDED MONEY
