House Station, N. J. A 1300-pound bull and an in¬ 
numerable bunch of poultry will be the big inducement.

Santa Claus must have looked like a traveling arsenal 
as he snailed along from place to place, in the New 
York Subway ■ (better known as the path of the down 
and out association, because one goes down and then 
has to get out if he would get home in time for din¬ 
ner), for more gunsWere given as Christmas presents this

It is rather remarkable that while cadets at Annapolis 
and West Point indulge in football, baseball and other 
sports, they do not take up trapshooting. We find 
Yale, Harvard and Princeton supporting trap teams, but 
no sign of interest in this manly sport in the two 
academies to which the smell of powder smoke is con¬ 
sidered indigenous. Rifle and revolver shooting are part 
of the curriculum at both U. S. Government schools, but 
the gun sport, that requires not only a steady hand, bpt 
a quick mental calculation and an equally rapid pEy 1 
sical response, is entirely neglected. Why not an ap¬ 
propriation from Congress for a supply of shotguns and 
scatter gur. ammunition for practice work for the develop¬ 
ment of an army and navy trap team to meet all comers, 
native or foreign? 
There will be shooting on the grounds of the Smith 
Gun Club, Newark, in the afternoon only on New 
Year’s Day. Beginning at 1:30 P. M. for practice events, 
to be following by a 100-bird event, open to all. Sliding 
handicaps, 14 to 22yds; $50 in merchandise prizes will be 
awarded to the winners. To be shot in five strings of 
20 birds each. Entrance, $2, including birds. If time 
permits, there will be three sweepstake events of 25 
birds each. Lunch and refreshments will be served. On 
account of the holiday, the next business meeting of 
the club will be held on Monday evening, Jan. 8, 1912. 
Officers elected for 1912 are: President, Janies F. 
Murphy; Vice-President, T. W. Reilly; Treasurer, 
Samuel Castle, Jr.; Financial Secretary, J. Edward 
Leslie; Recording Secretary, Frank Van Ness; Captain, 
Irwin Castle; Lieutenant, Andrew Lindley; Steward, 
O. E. Bedford; Storekeeper, Wm. McMahon; Sergeant- 
at-Arms, Daniel Kecr.

Since the days when the Pilgrim “pops” used to give 
their sens blunderbusses, as soon as the lads were big 
enough to stand straight, not because they wanted the 
kids to have guns, but because they needed the sorjly 
hand and • arm behind the stockade, gun-giving by 
father to son has been far from unusual. A transposition 
in this gun-present proposition came to my notice last 
Manday. Fourteen friends of mine received guns for 
Christmas, arms that ranged in price from $27.50 to $050, 
nine of these came from sons to fathers. The boys are 
trapshooters, and are trying to interest pop in the 
sport, end most interesting of all, is the fact that none 
of these “governors” ever has indulged in shooting of 
any kind, while their offspring are good shots at the

A GRAND CLEAN UP IN 
THE FROZEN NORTH 
Frank Galbraith (26 yards) wins the Grand Inter¬ 
national Handicap at Live Birds, scoring 19 x 20, 
with Reming ton :UMC Steel Lined Arrow Shells. 
This adds another win to 191 Ls long list of Reming ton-UMC wins. 
Remington: UMC Steel Lined Shells are chosen because the steel lining insures better pattern, better 
penetration, and greater velocity for the same loads, because the steel lining gives strength to the shell 
and protection to the shooter, and because this important improvement doesn’t cost any more. 
Remington UMC — the perfect shooting combination.
