One of the most popular trade representatives in the 
country, Carl von Lengerke, has left New York Sporting 
Goods Co., to handle Eastern territory in interest of 
Black Shells for U. S. Cartridge Co. For whom he 
works there are bound to he results. His efforts are 
conscientious — his personality decidedly attractive—an¬ 
alyze the combination when you get time. 
Manager Luther J. Squier and Secretary Herbert L. 
Jillson both report record entrance, not alone in numbers, 
but in class and range, for Pinehurst’s sixth annual 
midwinter handicap trapshooting tournament, scheduled 
for Jan. 22-23, and many are planning to come in ad¬ 
vance of the opening for the enjoyment of quail shoot¬ 
ing and practice. The number of ladies in attendance 
also will be large, and several delightful affairs are 
planned in their honor. All in all, the week promises to 
be one of pleasant memory and anticipated by the entire 
village, for no entertainment feature is more generally 
enjoyed.

The Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 28.—The turkey shoot to¬ 
day on the grounds of the Du Pont Gun Club supplied 
turkeys for fifteen tables, fourteen among the shotgun 
exponents and one to the club's crack rifleman, D. 
Appleby. 
Contestants were divided into A, B, C, D and E 
classes; one turkey for every five entries or fraction 
thereof, but not more than four turkeys to any one class. 
In Class A there were only six contestants, but that 
meant two turkeys, and Harry Sloan, with 48, and J. 
T. Roberson, who broke 46, captured the two. There 
were four turkeys for the sixteen men in Class B to 
be shot for. C. G. Pland and C. Thorpe Martin tied 
for the first two prizes in that class on 45, Stanley 
Tuchton and R. P. Willis, of Penn’s Grove, taking the 
other two on 44 a piece. The seventeen shooters in 
Class C also had four Bulgar’s delights to shoot for. 
William Coyne carried home a 16-pound gobbler as the 
result of his morning’s work and his score of 42, which 
was high in his class. Gregg Godwin was second with 
40, and I.. L Jarrell and C. H. Simon each got a turkey 
on landing third and fourth in their class with scores 
of 39. Two turkeys were put up for the nine entries 
in Class D, M. E. Ross winning first choice with 37, C. 
C. Gerow taking second with 36. In Class E there 
were seven entries, so two more turkeys were disposed 
of, one going to Canby C. Mummele on 32, John E. 
Miller collaring second choice with 24. 
Sixty shooters in all took part in the sport, five 
being ineligible under the club’s ruling to win prizes. 
These were Lester German, J. T. Skelly, L. D. 
Willis, E. A. W. Everitt and Edward Banks. Mr. 
German broke 46 out of 50, but Harry Sloan’s 48 
captured first honors for the day and was a most ex¬ 
cellent piece of work under the hard conditions.

won on a toss. 
A number of marksmen competed who were not 
eligible for the turkeys. Among them were J. T. Skelly, 
L. D. Willis and R. A. McGrath. The latter is a trade 
representative. It was his first visit to the Du Pont 
Club. 
The high scores of the day were made by Messrs. 
Skelly and Hammond, who each broke 91 out of 100.

Orange Gun Club. 
Orange. N. J., Nov. 28.—Dr. F. W. Lockwood won 
the club championship at the annual tournament held 
to-day at the Orange Gun Club traps, with 84 out of 100. 
I. D. Unger was second with 82. There were six clay 
target eliminators present, finishing as follows: A. 
Mosler 73. Dr. G. W. Wakeley 73, O. L. Yeomans 72, If. 
Kingsland 6S. 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Nov. 28.—A very successful shoot 
was run here to-day. It was open only to residents of 
Westchester county, and nearly fifty shooters participated. 
1 he first event, at 50 targets, decided the five-man team 
championship of the county, as well as the individual 
county championship. Teams from White Plains, Mt. 
Kisco, Mt. Vernon and Ossining entered. Peekskill had 
four men on hand, the fifth, Wm. Abele, being detained 
till it was too late to enter. Ossining won by the scant 
margin of one target from White Plains. Mt. Vernon 
was third. 
C. G. Blandford won the individual championship 
cup, as well as the fine cup given for high score on the 
winning team. 
There were many surprises in the way of low scores, 
owing to hard targets and patches of snow, that made 
difficult shooting. The different cities that sent teams 
were represented by a fine bunch of sportsmen, for no 
one but a dyed-m-the-wool sportsman would shoot on 
such a day, and turkeyless as well. 
Following are scores in team championship:

Daniel Boone Gun Club. 
Martiiasville, Mo., Nov. 23.—The regular practice 
of our club was not held to-day because many of our 
members went to a clay-bird match for turkeys at Hope- 
well, Mo., about eight miles from here. Sixteen turkeys 
were put up, eight at a time, but there were so many 
shooters who w'anted turkey that there was a shortage 
of birds, so each event was at 4 birds only, and the 
prizes for high guns. Of the thirty-seven shooters 
present, our club had nineteen, Warrenton Gun Club 
(twelve miles away) was fairly represented, and the 
others were shooters who do not belong to any regularly 
organized club. Our club won eleven of the sixteen 
turkeys. 
Frank Mutert and J. O. Wilson led the field, as 
neither of these made a miss, which was remarkable 
shooting, for there was a strong, but irregular, cross- 
wind blowing from the left, and the shooting was in 
front of a wooded hill, which gave a bad background. 
Daniel Boone members who were present follow: 
Frank Mutert, J. O. Wilson and Wm. Koch, two tur¬ 
keys each; Underwood. Bollmann, J. Mutert, Meyer, 
O. Kienker, one turkey each; Lichtenberg, Wyatt, R. 
Gardyne, W. Gardvne, Wm. Koelling, A. Johannaber, 
Kite, O. Berg, Struebl e, Holt. 
J. O. Wilson, Sec’y.
