FOREST AND STREAM 
[Dec. 2, 1911. 
Highland Y. C. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 25.—Highland Gun Club 
members bad a glorious time at the Thanksgiving shoot 
to-day, over the Edge Hill traps, and there were few 
who did not carry home something to- fill the Thanks¬ 
giving dinner pail. Some got turkeys; others geese, 
chickens, ducks and pigeons, while there were some 
who had to be content with the lowly sparrow. That all 
the members might have a fair chance at the live prizes, 
the shooters were divided into classes. The program 
called for 100 targets in strings of 20 , and considering the 
wind, that made the targets anything but easy, creditable 
scores were made. 
High gun for the day was George S. McCarty, with 94, 
who won not only a turkey in his class, but was given 
a spoon to eat the cranberry sauce with. Tom Tansey 
was second and will dine on goose, while “Butch” Landis 
got a chicken for his 85, and Billy Severn chased the 
duck. The shoot in Class B was keen, and Walter 
Dalton, shooting almost in the dusk on his last inning, 
captured the gobbler, Watson landing a goose, Side- 
botham a chicken: Cooky a duck, while Slear carried to 
his Collingswood home a pigeon, and Freeman allowed 
his sparrow his liberty. Clark was high in Class C, with 
William Dalton, Joel Davis, who celebrated his advent 
into the class with 74, and Abbott sharing the trophies. 
Harkins had nearly everything his own way in Class D. 
Lindsley and Edwards 
were other winners.

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Nov. 18. —With a strong wind blowing 
from the west and threatening a repetition of last week’s 
weather, it looks like a hard day for the “wolves” to¬ 
morrow. 
Even with the targets cutting all kinds of capers, a 
number of good scores were made, and it looks as if 
Fred Gilbert would make them hustle some to-morrow, 
as he broke 93 out of the last 95 he shot at. 
Winans was somewhat “under the weather,” but they 
got him to try a few

Nov. 19.—The weather conditions were all that could 
he desired at this time of the year, so that the “wolves” 
had nothing but extremely hard targets to contend with; 
and seemingly this was aplenty, for the targets were 
thrown a full 90yds., many of them going still furtherf 
and the quartering targets were about as difficult as it 
was possible to throw them. It was these extremely 
hard and sharp quartering targets that gave the specta¬ 
tors an idea of the speed and distance the targets were 
going, and most all of the shooters had plenty of them 
to shoot at.. 
J. R. Graham was the only one to score a straight 
frame of 20, which he did in the seventh event, Guy 
Dering coming close to it in three frames, losing only 
one target in the first, fifth and ninth events. Gilbert, 
Kneussl and Stannard each had one score of 19 to 
their credit.

Du Pont Gun Club Anniversary Shoot. 
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 25.—Plans for the first anni¬ 
versary shoot of the Du Pont Gun Club are about com¬ 
plete. The shoot will be held Dec. 16, and will consist 
of 100 targets in five 20-bird events. Entrance fee for the 
100 targets, $2. This will include price of targets, lunch 
and trophies. There will be an optional sweep on the 
100 targets of $3, the club adding $5 to the purse in the 
optional sweeps, and if there should be fifteen or more 
entries in the optional sweeps, the club will add $ 10 . 
Money in the sweeps to be divided Rose system, 5, 3, 2. 
We have four trophies which will be well worth winning, 
and as it is going to be rather difficult to arrange any 
form of handicap system for this particular shoot, we 
have decided to award the trophies by the Lewis class 
system. Any ties to be shot off at 15 targets. 
We have provided a trophy for the professional shoot¬ 
ers who may be with us and take part in the 100 target 
race. For the professionals we will fix an added target 
handicap. This can be looked after nicely because we 
will have a good line on those gentlemen. The 100-target 
race will start at 10 A. M., and we reserve the right to 
close entries at 1:30. If, due to darkness, we are unable 
to finish the race, the first three events (60 targets) will 
constitute the event, and all contestants will be rebated 
2 cents for each target not shot at. 
The feature of this shoot will be the contest for the 
world famous E. C. cup, representing the inanimate tar¬ 
get championship of the world. This cup is at present 
held by Geo. L. Lyon, the star shooting representative 
of the Remington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge Co., 
who has been challenged by Lester S. German, of the 
Du Pont Company. This event consists of 200 targets 
per man, made up as follows: 100 targets unknown 
angles, which will be shot over the Leggett trap; 50 
targets expert rule, one man up, which will be shot over 
the five expert traps recently installed at our club, and 
25 pairs, which will be shot over the Leggett trap. The 
E. C. Cup race will start at 1 P. M. Mr. Edward Banks, 
of Wilmington, will referee the match, and Mr. Chas. 
H. Newcomb, of Philadelphia, will act as judge for Mr. 
Lyon, and Mr. Wm. Foord, of Wilmington will judge 
for Mr. German. 
The foregoing ought to make rather an attractive pro¬ 
gram. We expect to send out, some time during the 
next week or the following week, an attractive pro¬ 
gram. T. E. Doremus, Sec’y.

Larchmonf Y. C. 
Larchmont, N. Y., Nov. 25.—A live ’possum was the 
feature prize yesterday for which the trapshooters of the 
Larchmont Yacht Club competed. The conditions were 
a handicap contest at 100 clay targets, and of the nine 
crack shots that faced the traps five of them broke better 
than 90. The winner was W. B. Short, with 97. Dr. 
Culver was second, and R. L. Spotts, W. J. Elias and 
D. L. Lindquist tied with 90. 
The weather conditions were fair, full scores, being 
made in four of the six contests. W. B. Short carried 
off the honors of the day, for besides capturing the ’pos¬ 
sum, he was the winner of the 10 -target scratch shoot, 
also two 25-target trophy matches, in each of which he 
returned full scores. R. L. Spotts was in form, winning 
the 15-target scratch contest, also a 25-target match. In 
both of these he broke all his targets, and he was also 
high gun for the day with 111 out of 125 for his score. 
Dr. Culver broke 113, but he was not a member of the 
club.
