HONOR SHOOT FOR FRED GILBERT. 
Nearly twenty years ago there occurred a 
momentous event in trapshooting circles. This 
sport was then in its infancy, and was over¬ 
shadowed by its more popular rival—live bird 
shooting. Said happening was the arrival of 
Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake, Iowa, in Baltimore, 
Md., to compete in the matches for the Live 
Bird Championship of the world. 
Arrayed against the then unknown youthful 
Westerner were the mighty Brewer, the great 
Macalaster and many other celebrities of the 
shooting game. Unknown and unheralded as 
was Gilbert at the time of his arrival in the 
Maryland city, in three days he had vanquished 
every competitor and won the title of “Champion 
of the World.” 
With practically no experience at shooting live 
pigeons or clay targets, almost over night he 
assumed a leading place in American shooting 
annals, which, thanks to his early training on 
the sloughs of his native state shooting ducks 
and on the prairies of Iowa and Minnesota 
shooting prairie chicken, he has held ever since. 
In the twenty years during which Mr. Giibert 
has constantly been in the limelight, a host of 
celebrities have arisen in the shooting game, only 
to be overshadowed after a short time by some 
still greater performance by a more youthful 
or more expert competitor. 
Not so with Gilbert. Shooters have come and 
shooters have gone, but Gilbert goes on forever. 
Year in and year out, always the same, a high 
standard of excellence has characterized his 
performances, and when not actually at the top 
of the average list as he has been many times, 
he has been very close to the winners. 
To his employers, the Du Pont Powdrr Com¬ 
pany, with whom he associated himself at the 
very start of his shooting career, he has always 
given the very best he had to give, and by his 
personality and happy and likable disposition won 
thousands of friends. 
This event will be known as the “Fred Gilbert 
DuPont Twentieth Anniversary Celebration.” 
As it is the intention to supplement this an¬ 
nouncement with more complete details at an 
early date, it is only necessary to give a brief 
outline of the plans which will be followed. 
Sometime during the month of March Mr. 
Gilbert will be entertained in Wilmington, Dela¬ 
ware, and on the date appointed there will be a 
100 target trapshooting event at the DuPont 
Trapshooting Club, to which will be invited every 
trapshooter desirous of attending. In the even¬ 
ing of this date a banquet will be arranged in 
honor of Mr. Gilbert who will be the guest of 
honor, and to which local trapshooters, members 
and officials of the Interstate Association and 
others will be invited. 
It is not the intention to confine participation 
in the Fred Gilbert Twentieth Anniversary Shoot 
solely to those who find it convenient to visit 
Wilmington, Delaware, on the date the event 
is staged there. Every club throughout the 
country, especially those which Mr. Gilbert has 
visited and shot at during the last twenty years, 
are extended a special invitation to assist in 
making this the greatest celebration ever given 
in honor of a trapshoter, and in fact, ever known 
in the history of trapshooting. 
In honor of the occasion the DuPont Powder 
Company have arranged with a prominent jewel¬ 
ry concern to manufacture a special trophy cup, 
one side of which portrays in relief Mr. Gilbert 
in shooting position,while the reverse is engravdd 
“Fred Gilbert DuPont Twentieth Anniversary 
Shoot, 1805-1915,” and these cups will be sent 
to all gun clubs applying for same and which 
will hold a “Fred Gilbert Shoot,” during the 
week of March 13th to 20th, both dates inclusive. 
Clubs applying for these cups must agree to hold 
a 100 target event on one day during this period, 
at which 10 or more shooters will compete, and 
the cup will be awarded on any plan agreeable 
to the club. The cup to be finally awarded at 
this shoot. Fully 500 clubs are expected to hold 
“Fred Gilbert Anniversary Shoots” and figuring 
on the most conservative basis of an average of 
15 shooters at each club, it will mean that 7,500 
shooters throughout the country will assist in 
doing honor to a man long known and loved by 
thousands as “The Wizard of Spirit Lake.” A 
record of each shoot and all contestants will be 
kept, and it is hoped that some future historian 
when writing the story of Mr. Gilbert’s connec¬ 
tion with the trapshooting game which he has 
so long graced will find space to give a full ac¬ 
count of the affair. 
That trapshooters and gun clubs in general 
will approve of this move to render fitting tribute 
to one of the greatest figures in the trapshooting 
game goes without saying, and no doubt much 
keen and friendly rivalry will be developed by 
the contests for the anniversary cups. 
SALEM NIGHT SHOOT. 
A few weeks ago the trapshooting fraternity 
throughout the country “sat up and took notice” 
at the announcement of the Salem Yacht, Gun 
and Rod Club, of Salem, N. J., that on Decem¬ 
ber 12th, they would hold a tournament and that 
shooting would start promptly at 6:00 P. M. 
An announcement to the effect that the shoot
