traps. The fathers are more or less prominent yachts¬ 
men, and it is pretty certain that it won’t be long before 
each of the yacht clubs under whose burgee they sail 
will install traps and add this worth while and enjoyable 
feature to the club sports. Our wireless operator sug¬ 
gests that it might be well for Brother Skelley to tell 
Sim Glover to put a few 12s in his pocket and pick up 
the trail among yacht clubs with that “teach-em-to-shoot" 
stunt of his in a handy place in his suit case.

This sounds good from Newton, N. J.: “The fifth 
annual New Year poultry shoot of the Newton Gun 
Club will be held Monday, Jan. 1, 1912. For the benefit 
of those that have never attended any of our poultry 
shoots, we want to say that it is not a money-making 
scheme; it’s all for the advancement of the sport, and 
a good time and to bring the boys together. Our poultry 
is put up at actual cost, plus targets. All events are at 
10 targets, insuring everybody plenty of shooting. Last 
year our entries for two chickens, one duck and chicken 
averaged 50 cents, for a turkey, duck and chicken, 65 
cents; turkey, goose, duck and chicken, 85 cents. Class 
shooting. Can you beat this? Every shooter went home 
well pleased. Contestants and professionals can shoot 
for targets. General Oscar Westbrook will have charge 
of the dead mark. Class B shooters can arrange poultry 
shoots among themselves, any old way, to keep the 
pot boiling. At 4 P. M. there, will be a battle royal 
among the five high men for a turkey, at 25 targets, 
entrance 50 cents. At 4:20 P. M. the five low men will 
shoot 10 targets, for three chickens, entrance 25 cents. 
Plenty of poultry, plenty of shells, all kinds; plenty of 
fun. Capt. John R. Murphy will be on hand with a hot 
lunch at 12 M. You know how he fixed up the boys 
last year. If he has any luck the night before, he will 
duplicate. Shooting commences at 10 A. M.”

Pelham Manor, N. Y., Dec. 23.—Ralph Spotts won the 
high gun trophy, but George Corbett won the plaudits of 
every sportsman at Travers Island by protesting himself 
after tying F. H. Schauffler in the leg for December cup. 
When the scorer announced that George J. Corbett and 
Frank H. Schauffler had tied at 92 for the trophy in 
the special 100-target handicap, and that a shoot-off would 
be necessary, Mr. Corbett protested himself on the 
ground that the referee had, in the December cup event, 
credited him with a “dead bird’’ which Mr. Corbett 
thought he had missed. He conceded the trophy to Mr. 
Schauffler, but the latter insisted upon a shoot-off. After 
much persuasion, Mr. Corbett agreed, and ultimately 
won on the deciding string of 25 targets. The sum¬ 
maries: 
December cup, 25 targets, handicap:

Shoot-off: 
The Christmas shoot brought out no less than fifteen 
new guns, brought by “Sandy,” and made to order from 
his many gun foundries. C. W. Billings showed his 
appreciation to old St. Nick by taking about all the 
prizes offered on Mercury Island. He won the holiday 
cup with 48 out of 50, which, with a handicap of 2, gave 
him a perfect score. We are still wondering why Brother 
Billings draws a handicap—the prospective manager of the 
Olympic trap team—then get away with the distance 
handicap, where, shooting from 21yds., he tied B. M. 
Higginson on the same mark, with 20 out of 25. In the 
shoot-off Billings won by 2 birds with a repeat score. 
Corbett won December cup with 24 out of 25; Higginson 
made a straight 25, and won Committee cup; J. M. 
Jones, with 4. usurped the President’s cup: F. H. Schauf¬ 
fler made 24 and Christmas cup, while Dr. De Wolfe 
was too good for the bunch when it came to doubles. 
getting 15 out of 
10 pair, with an allowance of 
2.
