ARCHERY NOTES. 
By Edward B. Weston. 
Why Thanksgiving day should have been 
selected by the archers for a country-wide shoot, 
I do not know. But for more than 30 years 
it has been the custom to shoot a team round 
on this day. It may have been started by the 
old Thanksgiving day turkey shoot, when the 
hunters in order to celebrate the day, put a bird 
in a box with a hole in the top, through which 
it could put its head, to be shot at with a rifle 
at so much per shot. Probably W. H. Thomp¬ 
son could give us the origin of 'the shoot. 
It will interest the old archers, and those of 
the present day, to read a few scores made in 
previous years. A large number shot this year, 
and their scores appeared in the Monitor of 
December 8. The shoot is not so much a test 
of markmanship as of interest in the sport.

THE DUPONT 1915-16 LONG RUN TROPHY. 
During the year 1910 the DuPont Powder 
Company originated the idea of giving a suitable 
trophy to trap-s'hooters who, in registered tourna¬ 
ments, made a run of 100 or more straight, us¬ 
ing a DuPont Powder. 
The idea was so popular with amateur shoot¬ 
ers throughout the country, that it was con¬ 
tinued each suceeding year with even more grat¬ 
ifying results. Of course the design of the 
trophy was changed each year in order to make 
them attractive to the shooters who had won a 
DuPont Long Trophy during previous years. 
For the years 1915-16 we take pleasure in an¬ 
nouncing that our Long Run Trophy proposi¬ 
tion will be even more attractive to shooters 
than during previous years, and, as in the past, it 
will apply to registered tournaments only. 
Briefly the proposition is to award a hand¬ 
some gold watch fob trophy to every amateur 
and professional shooter who makes a run of 50 
straight or more in a registered tournament us¬ 
ing a DuPont Powder. Trophies will be suit¬ 
ably engraved with the name and address of the 
winner, date run was made, length of run and 
place where it was made. Thus the DuPont 
Long Run Trophy becomes a permanent record 
for the winner of his excellent shooting. 
In addition to the fob, for each additional run 
of 50 straight or more in a registered tourna¬ 
ment, a gold bar, also engraved, which can easily 
be attached to the fob, will be awarded the win¬ 
ner. The bars will be in three sizes to indicate 
the length of the runs as follows: 
Runs of 50 to 74 a bar approximately 1-8 in. 
wide will be awarded. Runs of 75 to 99 a bar 
approximately 3-16 in. wide will be awarded. 
Runs of 100 and over a bar approximately 5-16 
in. wide will be awarded. 
A solid gold watch of standard make, such as 
an Elgin, Waltham or Howard will be given to 
every amateur when they have won a 'fob and 14 
long run bars; that is, 15 runs of 50 or more will 
entitle an amateur to the watch. Then when a 
shooter has annexed a watch, he may immedi¬ 
ately start to work to win another one. 
The idea of stating definitely that we will run 
our Long Run Trophy and watch proposition 
for two years is to make it clear to our friends 
that if they get but 8 or any o M her number of 
runs of 50 or more during 1915 they still have a
