price at all. but must be reached on quality and 
results. If these can be proved the price is 
of comparatively little consequence. 
No success worth while can be expected from 
an effort to place small, open, low-priced 
launches of 2 or 3 horsepower, such as are 
largely used in the United States on inland 
waters. Most of the motor boats in northern 
France are used along the coast, and in such 
estuaries as that of the Seine, where consider¬ 
able power and seaworthiness are required. 
There is, moreover, no trade whatever to be 
had from the wage-earning classes in pleasure 
boats. 
If the Seine territory could be opened up by 
American manufacturers of fast high-grade 
boats and engines, reaching exclusively for the 
racing and touring trade, there would follow 
an opportunity for introducing heavy-duty 
motors for fishing boats. This is practically an 
untouched field, although a little headway has 
been made in it by English manufacturers. Of 
course nothing can be done among the owners 
and operators of fishing boats except by direct 
methods. The use of auxiliary motors in sail¬ 
ing craft is increasing slowly in Seine waters.

Sept. 12 brings a rattling tournament at the Holland 
Gun Club, Batavia, N. Y. Here’s the way the pro¬ 
gram reads: “Messrs. Cox, Conley, Wright and Green 
have agreed to come to Batavia, Sept. 12, and shoot at 
100 targets for permanent ownership of the Watts L. 
Richmond trophy. Western New York Championship. 
W e invite our friends to be with us that day to witness 
the contest and participate in the 100 -target program of 
sweeps. Program at 1 o’clock prompt. There will be 
five events of 20 targets each, $1.30 entrance each event. 
Targets 1% cents each, included in entrance. Division, 
percentage, 50, 30, 20. Shells for sale on the grounds. 
Paid representat.ves to shoot for targets only. Ama¬ 
teurs may shoot for targets only if desired. The club, 
with Mr. Richmond's assistance, will replace the present 
cup with a larger and better trophy at our 1912 tourna¬ 
ment.” 
“The Sport Alluring” is the title of a handsome 36- 
page book, just issued by E. I. du Pont de Nemours 
Powder Co,, of Wilmington, Del., and edited by that 
well-known gun authority, Edward Banks. The book, 
like a giant hemlock, exudes the odor of outdoors, 
freedom and room to stretch one’s self. After an 
alluring introduction, the author devotes a dozen inter¬ 
esting pages to hints to beginners, and we may add 
that just because you have shot a gun a few years is no 
reason for overlooking' the book. The fact is, it is the 
best reason in the world for looking over the book. For, 
while the work is written in explanatory vernacular, so 
that the beginner gets a knowledge of shooting terms 
and a great amount of information, there is much sound 
advice, suitable for warm storage, in that not always 
full to capacity compartment in the shooter’s brain, that 
controls the shooting hand. Some of the sub-headings 
are: Choosing a Gun; Ammunition; The Shooting 
Costume; Position at the Score; How to. Stand; Shoot 
With Both Eyes Open; Shooting Glasses; Aiming; How 
To Locate the Right Spot; Leading a Target; The 
Matter of Temperament; How to Call Pull; Think of 
One Thing Only; Study Local Conditions; Flinching; 
Ethics of the Sport, and Precautions to be Observed. 
In closing, Mr. Banks says: “While all that has been 
written is intended primarily for the beginner and novice, 
it is believed, and hoped, that some who have passed 
that stage not only will find it of interest, but be able 
to cull a hint here and there that will be of future value.” 
Copies of the book may be had for the asking, and you 
may take my word for it, that this is one time you can 
“call” without being disappointed at the show down.

The Shamrock Association, of Atlantic City, some 
time known as the Westy Hogans, are out with their 
annual green program. On the front cover crouches a 
picture of Mister Dooley, pointing up to Young’s Pier. 
Of course, you know the date, but lest you forget, it’s 
Sept. 20, 21 and 22, and ’tis the “fift anool shute.” 
Over $1000 in trophies and added money, and the Squier 
money-back system, makes the outlook roseate for any 
old kind of a shooter. If you don’t know who the Westy 
Hogans are, just affix your orb of vision to the follow¬ 
ing list of real shooters: President, Neaf Apgar, New 
York; Vice-President, J. Mowell Hawkins, Baltimore,

Golden Gate Gun Club. 
Forty shooters faced the traps at the Golden Gate Gun 
Club’s monthly bluerock shoot on the Alameda grounds 
the other day. While the weather conditions were fav¬ 
orable for good sport and most of the contestants in the 
several events rolled up creditable scores, only in a few 
instances was marksmanship of the sensational sort dis¬ 
played. There were three target smashing contests, one 
being at 15 and the other two at 25 birds. The closing 
shoot was a distance handicap affair, while all of the 
participants in the other contests shot from the same 
slat. The first of the four straight scores made for the 
day was rolled up by Emil Hoelle in the “grub” shoot at 
15 targets. Tony Prior, C. A. Haight and A. J. Webb 
shot in good form in this event, missing but one bird 
each. Walker and Donnelly were selected as captains for 
the opposing teams in this shoot. Capt. Walker’s team 
won with a score of 200 targets broken, against 191 for 
the Connellyites. 
In the club shoot at 25 birds, E. J. Kerrison and Sears 
captured high gun honors by scoring straight, and nine 
of the other thirty-eight shooters broke 24 targets each. 
Otto Feudner made the only straight in the distance 
handicap event for the trophy. 
The trapshooting tournament planned for Sept. 9, 10 
and 11 , has been abandoned because the dates conflicted 
with those of a similar affair at Newman, already ar¬ 
ranged by the bluerock club of that place.

Exposition City Gun Club. 
Twelve trapshooters held a matinee practice shoot on 
the Exposition City Gun Club Presidio grounds, Aug. 
26. The high gun for the day was J. A. Cook, who 
smashed 83 out of 100 targets in one event and 44 out 
of 50 in another. The wind was rather high at times and 
caused the targets to jump occasionally.
