me, of the “Best Ever Shoot”—fifth registered—of the 
Sea Side Gun Club, at Bridgeport, Conn., to-day. The 
club slogans are: “We have the goods”; “The trap- 
shooters’ paradise”; “Be on your field,” and “Don’t 
worry.” All the news may be had from E. R. Lewis, 
Box 178, Bridgeport.

President; H. G. Friedrichs, Secretary; R. E. Schubart,

W, 
I wonder if gun clubs appreciate the value of the 
professional shooter, not only as a puller at the gate, but 
for his work in the office and his tournament manage¬ 
ment? This morning I had fulsome letters from two 
clubs praising the work of the professionals. The Lock 
Haven Gun Club most enthusiastically gives Luther 
Squier, of the Du Pont Co., entire credit for the suc¬ 
cess of their two days’ shoot, while adding praise for 
FI. C. Young, of Remington, and Joe Garland, of Peters 
Cartridge Co. The Berwick Rod and Gun Club asks me 
to make special mention of the work of O. S. Sked, 
of the U.M.C.-Remington Co., and L. R. Lewis, of Du 
Pont. One thing 1 have noticed, and that is the 
geniality of the trade representative, and his willingness 
to help the amateur without “knowing it all.” I want to 
add my little mite of praise by saying that, with but few 
exceptions, the scores sent me by professional scorers 
are always legible and finished. This condition is par¬ 
ticularly true of Luther Squier, from whom I never have 
received a score sheet that wouldn’t meet the approval 
of the most finicky journalist. 
Beec-roft. 
Lock Haven Gun Club. 
The Lock Haven Gun Club held their seventh annual 
tournament on Aug. 8 and 9 on their beautiful Hill Top 
grounds situated just west of the city limits, and the 
shoot was a success in every sense of the work. L. J. 
Squier, of the Du Pont Powder Co., had full charge 
of the tournament, and to say that it was conducted 
just right does not do justice to Luther. The Lock 
Haven boys hold that Mr. Squier is the peer of shoot 
managers. He has conducted every shoot they have 
held, and Lock Flaven would be simply lost without his 
presence, and there is no question but what he has 
figured out the best system for the distribution of 
money; everybody was pleased with the Squier money- 
back system. 
David Herrold was crowned king and ushered to the 
throne erected for high man. The targets just could 
not escape David’s L T . M. C. combination. He was high 
man both days, dropping only six targets out of 300, 
made a run of 146 straight, winning the beautiful silver 
cup for long run, he was also high man on the team 
race with 25 straight and carried off one of the three- 
man team cups. Next year the boys say they will have 
phantom targets for Dave. 
The merchandise event proved a very interesting 
feature, and it took some shooting to win first prize. 
Foster, of Selingsgrove, won first prize first day, which 
was a fine bedroom suit, and R. L. Leinbach, of the 
local club, carried off second prize, a fine pair of woolen 
blankets. The first prize on the second day was won 
by Wise, of Marysville, after one of the most spirited 
contests ever witnessed on Lock Haven grounds, it was 
necessary for him to break 75 straight in the shoot-off, 
and he certainly did it, beating Troxel out of one tar¬ 
get, thus securing the mileage book, and rode home 
happy. Troxel secured second prize. Altogether the 
tournament was one of the best ever held in this city, 
and the visiting shooters were loud in their praises for 
the fine hospitality and courtesies shown them. 
Great credit is due Capt. P. S. Kift for the manner 
in which the traps worked and ground arrangement of 
shoot. 
H. C. Young, of the Remington-U. M. C. Co., and 
Joe Garland, of the Peters Cartridge Co., were right on 
the job and rendered valuable assistance in running the 
1st Day.

The California Wing Club range, near Stege, was the 
scene of an impromptu pigeon shoot last Sunday, when 
twenty shotgun experts grassed feathers in a series of 
pool shoots. 
Three dozen birds without a miss or bobble was the 
high score for the day, shot by E. L. Schultz, the 
local expert. He was closely followed by M. R. Sher¬ 
wood, Clarence Nauman and C. B. Monoghan, a South¬ 
ern California shooter. Fred Munday during the after¬ 
noon also did some clever shooting, scoring straights 
in four matches. Nauman, however, counting his scores 
in every event, was high gun for the meeting. 
The high guns in each event divided the pools, all 
contestants standing at the 30yds. mark. The results 
were; 
Two 12-bird matches—Rink, 9, 8; Turner, 9, 8; Con¬ 
nelly, 8, 7; Nauman, 12, 11; Du Bray, 9, 4; Cuthbert, 8, 
7; Schultz, 12, 12; Monoghan, 9, 10; Sherwood. 10, 11; 
Hoag, 11, 9; Stelling, 10, 11; Craft, 9; Sexton, 7, 8; Miller, 
8; Simonton, 9, 9; Munday, 12. 
Five 6-pigeon matches—Rink, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6; Turner, 5, 
5, 5. 4, 5, 4; Nauman, 3, 6, 6, 5, 6; Du Bray, 6, 5, 5, 5;
