These victories, won against the hardest possible competition, show that our oft repeated claim for the ABSOLUTE SUPERI¬ 
ORITY of PETERS AMMUNITION is not mere idle talk, but a conservative and provable statement of FACTS. 
PETERS REVOLVER AND RIFLE CARTRIDGES of 32 and larger calibers are just as surely superior to other makes as Peters 
22 caliber. PETERS SMOKELESS Cartridges are as far ahead of competing brands as are PETERS SEMI-SMOKELESS. 
Shoot the P brand, the only kind that will shoot perfectly in ANY good gun.

Newtos, Mass., Dec. 7. — Capt. C. B. Tucker won 
the take-home trophy after a shoot-off with L. H.

won the trophy by % target. 
The December trophy was shot for, and Capt.

Smith Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., Dec. 7. —The monthly merchandise 
snoot, held to-day on the Bloomfield avenue traps of the 
Smith Gun Club, was the last event to be held on the 
grounds. The new public school athletic field, adjoin¬ 
ing the grounds, is the cause of giving up the present 
site. It was necessary to shift the position of the traps 
to prevent any possibility of shot going over the wall 
into the athletic field. This shift placed the traps in 
such a position that the afternoon sun shines directly 
in the faces of those facing the traps. Nothing could 
be more of a hindrance to good shooting that such a 
handicap. 
For some months the Smith Gun Club has been 
trying to find new suitable shooting grounds, but 
without success until recently. Circumstances surround¬ 
ing the decision of Joe McGinnity to leave Newark 
offered the opportunity. 
Until recently McGinnity was at the head of the 
Eastern League Gun Club, with grounds adjoining the 
baseball park. Since lie has left town, the club has not 
been prospering, and the Smith Gun Club has consented 
to consolidate with it. The name of the club will still 
be Smith Gun Club, and starting with next Saturday, 
the grounds of the former Eastern League Gun Club 
will be their new home, it is the intention of the Smith 
Club to greatly improve the new grounds. Arrangements 
are already under way for the provision of new traps, a 
new platform and enlargement of the present club house. 
I he grounds will he put in shape for temporary use 
next Saturday. When improvements are finished, a big 
opening shoot is planned, which will attract marksmen 
from this section of the country. 
In the prize shoot, held to-day at 50 targets, J. Bald¬ 
win was high with 45; W. Trowbridge second with 44; 
W. Ilassinger third with 43: L. Trowbridge fourth with 
4i. and Sam Thornton fifth with 40. For sixth prize 
t harles T. Day, Jr., and M. Apgar tied with 38 each. 
In the draw-off Day picked the trophy number, giving 
him the prize. The prizes consisted mostly of pieces of 
cut-glass. Sweepstake shooting was indulged in both 
before and after the prize event. The following scores 
were made:
