For singles—trap or field—just toss in a shell, press the button and— 
“PULL.” The side bolt makes it easy. You don’t have to tug at the 
barrel or watch an on-and-off device. The action stays open after each single 
shot is fired,—It always stays open when the magazine is empty. Five 
shots—three to get the cripples—each under absolute control of the trigger 
finger. The recoil reloads for you—kicks another shell in; takes the strain 
off the gun—the discomfort out of the kick—all without diminishing the 
drive behind the shot. 
And a friction brake feature found only 
on the Remington- UMC Autoloading 
Shotgun, slows down the rearward motion of 
the barrel and bolt. The greater the recoil, 
the more force taken up by this ring. 
The shooter’s shoulder does not have to 
stand the difference in kick between a blank 
and a 3/4—1 Y\ load. Simple take-down—a few turns of the readily handled 
magazine screw-cap makes cleaning, carrying and interchange of barrels quick 
and easy.

in the fifth event and finished third on 193. In the 
doubles J. S. Day did nice work, outclassing the field, 
and finished in first with 45. Maxwell, Gilbert and Hen¬ 
derson kept together, tying for second on 44. Then 
came R. W. Clancy with 42. 
Among the amateurs, R. H. Bruns, who has been in 
the lime light since his phenomenal work at Denver 
this fall, was high with 195. He broke his first 109 tar¬ 
gets straight, making a long run of 113, including the 
last 4 targets on Monday. This entitles him to the 
Du Pont amateur long run trophy. Wm. Ridley was 
second with 193; Al. Heil and George Volk were third 
with 192 each. Heil and J. S. Young tied for first 
place in the event at doubles, with 43 each; E. M. 
Daniels and J. H. Noel, 42 each, and W. Ridley 41. 
In all the events for the 250 targets, G. W. Maxwell 
and F. G. Bills tied for high on 236. Then came the 
amateur, Heil, with 235, followed by two amateurs, Ridley 
and J. S. Young, and J. S. Day, professional, with 234 
each; Heer, professional, was third with 233, and Geo. 
Volk, amateur, 230. 
J M. Hawkins started the day with a credit of 69 
targets on Monday, and broke his first 31 straight, mak¬ 
ing a run of just one century. W. R. Crosby scored a 
run of 102, including the last 74 of practice day. Geo. 
Yolk broke 80 without a miss. The banner squad of 
the day was No. 3—Ridley, F. Campbell, W. S. Hoon, 
Bart Lewis and C. F. Moore. In the sixth event they 
scored 124 out of 125; Campbell was the guilty party and 
had to take the guns to the house. 
Mrs. Topperwein always had a good gallery when 
she was on the firing line, and she shot better than 90 
per cent. Her record is a long one, and pretty well 
known to all followers of the sport; but we would like 
to recall the fact that she has made forty-five long runs 
of 100 or better, some of the best being 226, 197 and 167. 
Probably one of her best pieces of work was in the 
Pacific Coast handicap in 1910, when she broke 190 out 
of 200, including 20 pairs, which is traveling a 95 per 
cent. gait.

Second Day, Ocf. 16. 
The shooters were treated to another day of fine 
weather for their second trial at the traps. There was 
not a breath of wind, and the flight of the targets was 
very event. Fifty-eight shooters were entered for the 
day, three of them failing to shoot through, thus losing 
any chance they may have had for the high average 
prizes. Promptly at 9 o’clock the first squad was called 
to the firing line, and there was no let up in the shoot¬ 
ing until 2:20, when the last event was finished. The 
event at doubles seemed to have little attraction for the 
amateurs, only twenty-one caring to take a chance. R. PI. 
Bruns continued to shoot in the form he displayed at 
Denver, and at the close of the day was tied with \Y. R. 
Crosby, which is about all the honor a young amateur 
ought to want. F. M. Edwards was called home by a 
telegram before he had fairly gotten, under way. C. A. 
Young shot in order to fill out a squad. E. A. W. 
Everitt did not reach the grounds in time to take in the 
first three events, and started in the fourth, but hardly 
shot up to his usual form; he also shot to fill out a 
squad. T. J. Donald was obliged to' leave on Tuesday 
night, and did not expect to get back, but the call of 
clays was too much for him, and he reached the grounds 
in time to enter and shoot through; his score was much 
below his usual mark. Everything moved smoothly; 
13,400 targets being trapped without a hitch; the only 
stop was for the purpose of setting the traps for the 
doubles, and Charlie North did not delay the game for 
that purpose. J. S. Day had them all guessing in the 
event at doubles, and in spite of a “dutch double,” went 
out with 46, which shows that Jimmy is some quick with 
his shooting stick, as well as having a sharp eye. Clark 
and Spencer followed him with 44 each, and Taylor and 
Heer were a good third with 43 each. In the singles 
professionals and amateurs were close together. For the 
latter class, W. R. Crosby was high with 195, a repeti¬ 
tion of his first day’s work; Henderson came next with 
194, and J. M. Hawkins 193. Bruns, Ridley and Hoon 
made a great fight for high amateur honors, the former 
going out with 195, tying Crosby, and the two latter 
getting 194 each. Heil and Roll scored 192 each: C. F. 
Moore and B. S. Cooper 191. P’hese men divided the 
$100 average money. 
In the doubles, Volk led with 43; Heil 42, Ridley 41, 
Hightower and Schlichter 40 each. 
The totals for the first two days showed the amateurs 
to have the best of it. Bruns was tied with Crosby on 
390; Ridley came next with 387; Heil 384; then Fred. 
Bills dropped into place with 382, followed by Hender¬ 
son with 381, and Heil with 380. 
For the two days’ events at doubles, 50 pairs, Day 
was high with 91; Maxwell 86; then came an amateur, 
Heil, with 85; Spencer, Taylor, and Gilbert were in next 
place with 84 each, and Ridley followed with 82. So far 
the amateurs developed fully as much class as their 
professional brothers, and held their own with the vet¬ 
erans. The cartoons by Fred Slear, of Philadelphia, did 
a whole lot to keep the boys amused, and made the un¬ 
fortunate ones forget, for a time at least, the lost tar¬ 
get, that may be cost them dollars. He monopolized one 
side of the club house with the productions of his pencil, 
and no one made a kick. In the afternoon a pleasant 
surprise was sprung on the shooters and representatives 
by the reception of the following: “You are cordially 
invited to attend the informal dinner to be given 
Wednesday evening, Oct. 16, at 6:30 o’clock, at the Alt 
Heidelberg, 522 Vine street, second floor. Complimentary 
to the shooters and representatives attending the Post 
Season tournament.” This invitation was extended by 
the publishers of the Sportsmen’s Review, and it is 
needless to say was generally accepted, seventy-three 
guests being at the table when Mr. Elmer E. Shaner 
called for a rising toast to the host. The menu was as 
follows: Heublein cocktails, caviar slices, turtle soup, 
fried sea, pommes grande, peas, potatoes, head lettuce, 
coftee, cheese, ice cream, cigars. 
When the cigars were well alight, Mr. Shaner rose 
and expressed for those present and the Interstate Asso¬ 
ciation their appreciation of the entertainment. He then 
called on the Hon. Tom Marshall (Chief Long Talk), 
who responded as he alone can, in a short speech re¬ 
plete with witticisms, which kept the guests in a roar of 
laughter. He reviewed very briefly the sport of trap¬ 
shooting from the time of the gyro pigeon to the present 
days of perfection, and declared that it was the cleanest 
sport known, and that its devotees were the salt of the 
earth, or words to that effect. 
Mr. Rosenthall being called upon, responded in a 
few words, expressing his pleasure in meeting face to 
face, those whom he knew so well by name and reputa¬ 
tion. 
Other speakers were: Arthur Gambell, superintendent 
of the Cincinnati Gun Club; R. Davis, secretary of the 
club; Fred E. Pond, editor of the Review, and A. F. 
Hochwalt, kennel editor of the same publication. After 
drinking a rising toast to their host, the boys adjourned.
