HUNTER ONE—-TRIGGER 
T HE simplicity of construction of a Ham- 
merless Smith Gun appeals to all sports- ‘v 'f 
men. A novice can quickly take it down 
and put it together. It is this simplicity of 
mechanical construction that has made it so 
popular—that has given it undisputed leadership. 
IT IS this simplicity, too, that prevents it from ever 
shooting loose. That is absolutely impossible in a 
Smith Gun. The longer you shoot a Smith Gun the 
tighter it gets—it is self-adjusting . Our handsome, 
new lithographed Catalogue explains this more in de¬ 
tail. Ask your dealer for it, or write us direct— today. 
That Catalogue will also tell you all about the 
very latest Hammerless Smith Gun —the 20- 
GaugeHunterOne-Trigge). The Hunter One-Trigger 
attachment is the greatest improvement in gun¬ 
making for more than half a century. The new 
20-Gauge is just the finest gun that can be made 
at the price. Simply all gun and no frills. Weighs 
only to 7 lbs. As a well-informed sportsman 
you ought to know about it.

Ohl—Day—Brickner. 
Newark, N. J., Sept. 16.—“White hopes” in the prize 
ring aren’t a circumstance to the contenders for the 
State trapshooting championship over Jersey way. Even 
the shooters in Delaware look greeningly at the activity 
among Jersey championship hopes. To-day—yes, to Day 
—comes the championship, wrested from the old—yes, 
the Ohl—champion. In other words, yesterday, Chas. 
T. Day, Jr., defeated Geo. A. Ohl, Jr., the then holder 
of the title. Immediately, or as soon thereafter as 
seemed polite, in trapshooting circles, A. B. Brickner 
stealthily removed the trophy from the premises of said 
Day, and now guards it with his trusty 12-gauge shotgun, 
although he is menaced hv one Tim Wheaton, of Ne_w- 
ark. The Dav-Ohl match was very one-sided. Day win¬ 
ning by 47 to 40 out of 50. The match with Brickner was 
a delightful piece of shooting, and is all the score indi¬ 
cates. 
In the first string of 25 Day lost his twelfth bird, a 
hard straightaway. Brickner broke straight. In the 
second 25 each man broke straight, the final score being: 
Brickner 50, Day 49. Mr. Brickner represented the New¬ 
ton Gun Club, of Newton, N. J. 
Fifty shooters enjoyed the regular Saturday afternoon 
practice, and exceptionally high 
average 
scores 
were 
recorded. Brickner 
was high average 
gun 
with 1 
>9 
out 
of 125, while Cahrs 
made 121. Scores:

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
Thf. club started its weekly shoots again on Sept. 16, 
and there will be something doing every Saturday after¬ 
noon from now on. Quite a number of members were 
at the grounds, but only nine of those present took 
part in the shooting. W. Henderson the well-known 
professional, did fine work, breaking 97 out of 100. J. 
S. Day, of Midland, Tex., one of the crackerjacks in the 
professional ranks, broke 90 out of 95. Dr. Leighner has 
done no shooting for a long time, but he still po nts 
about right, and promises to come regularly after this. 
E. W. Rugg can’t get the shooting microbe entirely out 
of his system, but his lack of practice was evidenced by 
the number of his lost birds. DeMar left his gun at 
home, and had to shoot a strange one, as the boys 
would not let him leave the grounds without shooting. 
Ed. Frohliger scored most of the time, but got a 
chance in a couple of events, after loaning his gun to 
some of the others. H. R. Irwin did nice work, getting 
89 out of 100. He is an enthusiastic shooter and will 
stick to it until he gets up with the big ones. Smith 
has not forgotten how entirely, but will do better with 
his own gun and a little more practice. Dr. Phillips 
came out to see if anyone was shooting. Of course, 
he got in, but a borrowed gun queered his chances. 
Shooting at doubles. Day broke 41 out of 23 pairs; 
Henderson 26 out of 16 pairs, and Smith 6 out of 8 
pairs.

The first registered tournament of the London Gun 
Club was held on Thursday, Sept. 7. This tournament 
was for the encouragement and pleasure of trapshooter-; 
and was assisted by the Interstate Association. The 
weather was ideal and many shooters were present and 
also visitors, and we had the best shooting ever done 
on these grounds. Those participating showed great 
skill as the following score bears evidence:

Although the 1911 shooting season is rapidly ap¬ 
proaching its close, the same ending on Saturday, Oct. 
29, interest nevertheless is by no means waning. A

on Saturday afternoon, the 16th. Among those present 
were a number of visitors whom the club was glad to 
welcome. The club is always glad to have visitors, and 
it is hoped that more will come out and witness the 
shooting. No admission fee whatever is charged.

The passenger pigeon has been immortalized by the
