* 
The sixth annual tournament of the Red Hook Gun

Oct. 19. There will be a large merchandise event, 
prizes for the longest straight run, and a contest be¬ 
tween the Danbury team, of Connecticut, and other 
New York State teams for special trophies. 
There are only nineteen registered tournaments 
scheduled to be shot this year. The next will be Oct. 4 
at Columbus (O.) G. C., and the last Dec. 20, at Syra¬ 
cuse, N. Y. (Onondaga County G. C.). Dates and in¬ 
formation concerning intermediate shoots will be found 
at the head of this page under “Fixtures.”

If ideas bring business, the Du Pont Powder Co. is 
entitled to the full measure of success. They are out 
with another “Shooters’ Help,” this time in the shape 
of an envelope in which to write home to tell your wife 
that you won an ornament, in the shape of a handsome 
silver cup, to decorate the mantelpiece in the den. The 
envelope has a pretty lithograph of shooters in the attitude 
of “Fire when you’re ready, Gridley.” Of course, if you 
don’t win the cup, the envelope has been made large 
enough to hold all your excuses. The lettering on the 
envelope would indicate that the only reason you didn’t 
win was because your shells weren’t loaded with In¬ 
fallible or Ballistite powders. Send for some trap¬ 
shooting envelopes. They’re free. 
et 
Amateur riflemen will do well to write the National 
Rifle Academy, Boston and Philadelphia, for informa¬ 
tion on their new course in familiarizing the sportsman 
with his rifle before entering the woods. This course 
will enable the novice to avoid shooting off somebody’s 
head, and will also tell him how to get the best results 
from his rifle. There is no charge for the catalogue. 
One of the last of the gun club shoots in the vicinity 
of New York city will be the fifth annual Cosmopolitan 
Amateur Championship at the Bergen Gun Club, Brook¬ 
lyn, on Columbus Day, Oct. 12, beginning at 9:30 A. M.; 
$100 added money and many trophies are inducements 
calculated to bring out the crowd. To get there take 
Subway to Flatbush and Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, 
then Flatbush avenue trolley car; or from New York, 
City Hall—Brooklyn Bridge—direct, or will transfer to 
shooting grounds, Avenue N and East Seventy-first 
street, Bergen Beach, Brooklyn.

From Herbert L. Jillson, Secretary Pinehurst Gun 
Club, comes the following: “The sucess of the annual 
midwinter handicap trapshooting tournaments at Pine¬ 
hurst, N. C., the fifth of which is scheduled for Jan. 24, 
25, 26 and 27, was assured just five years ago. Every 
prophesy concerning its future has been fulfilled, and 
mainly because Pinehurst has conducted the shoot on the 
same broad, comprehensive and distinctive lines which 
have given the village world-wide fame. To-day the 
handicap, ranking as it does with many Old World meet¬ 
ings, may best be styled “a classic,” claiming representa¬ 
tive experts from all sections. Here the quail shot of 
the South and the partridge hunter of New England swap 
yarns with sportsmen from Western plains and Northern 
forests. And it is not strange, when one considers the 
superb equipment of the village in this particular, its 
ideally located traps, its wide range of hotel accommoda¬ 
tions, and the delightful situation.” Beecroft. 
$1,000 ADDED MONEY
