The Meadow Springs prize handicap at 50 targets, 
from 16 to 21yds., was shot off; it was keenly fought. 
Prizes were offered on each 25, the first being captured 
by Noah Clark, who broke straight, and the second 
going to William Torpey, also with a straight. In the 
latter it looked as though W. II. Adams, of Reading, 
who also cracked every one of his 25, would be the 
successful one, but on the last squad, and shooting in 
light that was almost impossible for the gunner to see 
the flying target, -Torpey surpassed himself and went 
straight. As Adams had left the ground, the prize 
naturally reverted to Torpey. Noah Clark had high 
total in the event, breaking 4S from the 18yd. line.

Factory Loaded Smokeless Powder Shells 
THE HARD-HITTING, FAR-REACHING LOADS 
Duck shooting is a great test of the shooting qualities of 
shotgun shell. Many of the shots are at long range, and, 
as all shooters know, ducks generally fly mighty fast. The 
most successful wild fowl shooters use and endorse Win¬ 
chester Factory Loaded Shells, “Leader” and “Repeater.” 
Experience and trial have convinced them that they 
are the killing loads. Careful and correct loading 
makes them
