The Sunbury-Selinsgrove Gun Club will hold their 
third annual turkey shoot on Friday, Dec. 20, at 1 P. M. 
The program will be at 100 targets, $2 entrance, which 
includes the turkey entrance. The men will be arranged 
after shooting into classes, four men to a class, the high 
man of each class getting a turkey and the second 
score getting a nice chicken. Ties for place shoot 
off at extra targets. There will also be an optional 
sweep on each event, divided into four moneys, 25, 25, 
25 and 25 per cent., class shooting, the poorer shooter 
having as much in their purse as the good shots. The 
club will also give a turkey to the professional high 
score.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Last shoot of season for Machinery Gun Club, Bever¬ 
ley, Mass., will be held Dec. 21, at 1 o’clock. It will be 
a turkey shoot, open to all amateurs—this means you— 
75 targets, .$1.50 etrance fee, including targets. Six tur¬ 
keys as prizes, class shooting. More information from 
W. R. Hurd, 2d, or A. C. Spencer, at Beverley, Mass. 
To-day down at Du Pont Gun Club, J. B. McHugh, 
holder of the State championship, and Edward Banks, 
the challenger for the title and cup that goes with the 
title, will shoot the big event. The Class A 1912 trophy 
held by Eugene du Punt, goes into open competition, 
Mr. du Pont not being on hand to defend his title to 
the cup by reason of his aosence in*South Carolina. 
G. W. Bennett, who has a keen sense of the fitness 
of things, has started a ride and trapshooting club 
among employees of Willys-Overland Automobile Co. 
at Toledo, O. Already the organization numbers fifty- 
one members. Mr. Bennett, who himself is an excellent 
shot, has been elected honorary president of the Over¬ 
land Gun Club. This suggestion would work equally 
well among employees of other manufacturing concerns. 
It is a healthful and comparatively inexpensive pastime. 
The famous fowling piece of J. J. Audubon, nat¬ 
uralist, artist, author, is for sale in Philadelphia for 
$1,500. The gun is in fine condition, and aside from the 
material used in its construction, its physical make-up 
is remarkable. It is an 18-bore, built in England by 
Conway, :n 1830. Its length is G3 inches; weight 121bs. 
Mountings are gold and silver, with hollow butt, thought 
by some to have been put there to relieve the hip—the 
trap cavity being about half-pint size. Audubon is 
supposed to have used the arm on his collecting trips 
from 1832' to 1837. 
*, 
Evidence of interest in the fifth annual midwinter 
handicap trapshooting tournament began early in Sep¬ 
tember, and since that date the inquiries, numbering 
several hundred, have come from all sections. Texas, 
Colorado and California are the more distant points 
which evince special interest with many queries from 
the South, middle South and West, Pennsylvania, New 
York State and New England. The lavish added money 
of $2,500 is of course, the drawing card, but the special 
class events, sweepstakes and the delights of a week 
at Pinehurst are also playing an important part in making 
this event one of America’s most classic shoots.

Nov. 28.—Although it was a pleasant day for shoot- 
mg, only thirteen marksmen toed the mark on the 
firing line to-day. Thanksgiving dinners and shoots at 
neighboring clubs no doubt holding down the attendance 
to this number. Young cleaned up the boards with a 
total of 9(3 out of 100 in event No. 1, and then broke 
straight in an extra event. Bills shot three frames of 
25 each for a total score of 72 out of 75. C. M. Grubb 
will be remembered by most of the older shooters, and 
while he has not shot targets for seven years, he tried 
one frame of 25, of which he broke 15.
