H. W. Dreyer, secretary, Bergen Beach Gun 
Glub, at Bergen Beach, L. I., has “sent out cards” 
for a regular shoot Dec. 8 at one o’clock. The 
fourteenth New Year’s Day Handicap, merchan¬ 
dise shoot will be pulled at eleven o’clock. This 
club is very handy for New York gunners, being 
reached directly by Flatbush or Nostrand avenue 
cars at Brooklyn Bridge. Get off at Avenue N 
and 71st street. H. D. Bergen is president of 
the organization which insures visitors a cordial 
welcome. 
Programs are out for the Mid-Winter Handi¬ 
cap at Pinehurst, N. C., under the auspices of 
the Pinehurst Country Club. Dates, Jan. 19-23 
inclusive; $2,500 added money, trophies and all 
the joys that go with Pinehurst’s bountiful cour¬ 
tesies. This shoot always attracts the best gun¬ 
ners from the north, most of whom enjoy a few 
days’ quail shooting for which the fine resort is 
noted. Besides some of the finest large hotels 
in the country, there are several small hotels at 
Pinehurst that are unexcelled. The Pine Crest, 
charge $2.50 a day and upward. The Lexing¬ 
ton, charge $1.75 a day, and upward. The 
above prices include meals. Pinehurst is on the 
Norfolk & Southern Railroad,-five'-miles from 
Aberdeen, and may be reached by the Seaboard 
Air Line from Aberdeen, N. C. (Pinehurst Junc¬ 
tion), or by the Southern Railway via High 
Point, N. C. Through Pullman cars to Pinehurst 
from New York and Washington and interme¬ 
diate points via Seaboard Air Line. 
It can also be reached via Atlantic Coast Line 
from Fayetteville to Aberdeen, via Aberdeen & 
Rockfish Railroad, connecting with the Norfolk 
& Southern at Aberdeen. 
Old reliable Luther Squier will manage the 
shoot—you don’t need to know anything else— 
excepting that J. W. Todd will be cashier. 
The night tournament, with a new system of 
lighting, at Salem Rod, Gun & Yacht Club, is 
creating some sensation. The feasibility of arti¬ 
ficial lighting for clay bird shooting was demon¬ 
strated last spring at the Forest and Stream 
Sportsman’s Show, when the night tournaments 
proved decidedly popular. A large entry is 
looked for at Salem on Dec. 12. Write A. M. 
Bossier for particulars. 
We have just had a letter from Mr. John 
Hunter, president of Hunter Arms Co., Incor¬ 
porated. This is the best of Christmas cheer. 
“The writer is very sure that you will be glad 
to learn that the business, which we spent a 
quarter of a century in building up, has again 
come back into possession of the Hunter 
Brothers. We lost this business about a year 
and a half ago and only within the last few 
days have we come into possession again of our 
own. Yours very truly, 
“HUNTER ARMS CO., INC.” 
The Forest and Stream Trophy Shoots on 
Thanksgiving Day were very popular. The cups 
were much admired and “wanted a lot-” Better 
write for a chance at one of these trophies. 
Twelve were up for competition on turkey day. 
The proposition is a winner for everybody. We 
get new subscribers, you get a cup that attracts 
entries and each contestant gets a subscription 
to Forest and Stream. Can you beat that?

NEMOURS (LADIES’) TRAPSHOOTING CLUB 
Nemours Shooters War on “The Turks.” 
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 27, 1914. 
One of the most thrilling battles in the history 
of trapshooting took place Wednesday afternoon 
at New Bridge, when the ladies of the Nemours 
Trapshooting Club took arms against three of 
the noblest birds in Turkeydom, Du Pont, Her¬ 
cules and Atlas. 
The three turkeys were donated by the Du 
Pont, the Hercules, and the Atlas Powder Com¬ 
panies, and they were decorated in the colors of 
the respective companies. 
There were 18 shooters and a large number of 
visitors out during the afternoon, and the shoot 
was one of the largest and most interesting ones 
ever pulled off by the club. It was a handicap 
event and gave all the shooters an equal chance 
for a turkey. 
The Hercules turkey, decorated in orange and 
black, reposed in a large basket and was sur¬ 
rounded by celery, carrots, parsley, apples, cran¬ 
berries, etc., in fact, the basket represented almost 
an entire turkey dinner with the exception of 
the mince and pumpkin pies. Miss Clara Bing¬ 
ham, who made high handicap score for the after¬ 
noon, and who had first choice of the turkeys, 
chose this sumptuous basket as her prize- 
Miss Jennie P. Hirst, who shot in splendid 
form and who surprised even herself by her per¬ 
formance, had second high total score and 
promptly chose the Du Pont turkey, who sat up 
in a most stately manner, dressed in the Du 
Pont colors of red and white. He did have a 
black collar on his coat, however, and a top hat 
of green which blended beautifully with his com¬ 
plexion. He also wore a pair of spectacles 
which gave him a most dignified and aristocratic 
air. 
Miss Atlas, in a fussy gown and cape of blue 
and white and a gorgeous hat trimmed in fine 
feathers and ribbon, made a most attractive look¬ 
ing “Lady Bird.” She carried a reticule under 
her wing and wore around her neck a most won¬ 
derful necklace which had as a pendant, a small 
rubber ball decorated to represent the world. 
This turkey was won by Mrs. Bertha McKaig, 
who made third high handicap score in the shoot. 
The consolation prize, a splendid chicken, do¬ 
nated by E. R. Galvin of the Sporting Powder 
Division of the Du Pont Powder Company, went 
to Mrs. W. A. Joslyn, who was more pleased 
with the chicken than she was with her score. 
Mrs. Joslyn shot with a strange gun which was 
so entirely different from any she had ever used 
before that she was badly handicapped and shot 
way below her average. 
As a special visitor's prize on Wednesday, the 
Sporting Powder Division of the Du Pont Com¬ 
pany, gave a very handsome sterling silver spoon. 
This spoon is one designed by the Bailey, Banks 
and Biddle Company of Philadelphia, especially 
for women’s trapshooting clubs, and the handle 
represents a woman shooting at the traps. 
Mrs. Ray Boyer of Enola, Pennsylvania, came 
down to shoot with the Nemours Ladies on Wed¬ 
nesday, and as she was the only visiting shooter, 
she was presented with the silver spoon for her 
good work during the afternoon and as a souve¬ 
nir of the occasion. 
In the regular event Miss Amy Schofield was 
high and won the Ramsay Trophy for the week.

“BLUE BIRD.” 
DU PONT TRAPSHOOTING CLUB. 
Some Turkey Trot on the Brandywine. 
Wilmington, Nov. 27, 1914. 
Seventy-one Du Pont men faced the club traps 
yesterday in one of the biggest and best shoots 
ever pulled off at the local gun club. The prizes 
were twenty-two Maryland turkeys, and fifteen 
big chickens, and they served to draw out the 
trapshooting devotees in large numbers. The 
best amateur score of the day was made by John 
H. Minnick, once the peer of all local shooters. 
The best professional score of the day was
