Going Gunning? 
You want a dependable Shot Gun. 
Remember that the expense of a three 
or four weeks’ shooting trip is apt to run 
into money. 
What’s the use of spending a little for 
a gun and much for shells, railroad fare, 
trains, etc? 
You want the best gun your money can 
buy.

I beg to advise you that Mr. F. Schwalbe, of La 
Crosse, Wisconsin, was the winner of the Ninth West¬ 
ern Handicap, shot at Green Bay, Wisconsin, August 
6, 1914. Mr. Schwalbe used a Remington Gun U. M. 
C. shells and dead shot powder. 
E. REED SHANER, Secretary. 
For years Mrs. Ad. Topperwein has been known as 
the crack woman trap-shooter of the country, but she 
has a rival now and right in this city at that. The 
name of the rival? Well, her father didn’t tell that, 
but he did say she arrived. Friday morning and 
weighed more than 10 pounds. Her dad is W. F. 
MacCandless, the popular secretary of the N. C. R. 
Club. Mrs. MacCandless and daughter are doing 
-nicely. He is a real fine fell-ow, but a “Gabby Irish¬ 
man.” JERRY 'CONNO-RS in Dayton Daily News. 
I just naturally hope she is as fine a girl as her 
dad is a man in which case she won’t be a Grand 
American Handicap, but will be a great help about 
the house. 
Tournament of Hill City Gun Club at Vicksburg, 
Miss, has been advanced from Oct. 6 to August 24. 
Put your calendar back on Spirit Lake (Iowa) Gun 
Club, from August 27 and 28 to September 22 and 23. 
Elmer Shaner, after a hard season, is summering 
at the place where the latch string always is out. We 
wish Elmer the merriest summer there is. 
The Perth Amboy Gun Club was recently organized 
and comprises among its members many of the best 
known business and professional men of that city. 
The secretary is John L. Waters, 392 Neville street, 
Perth Amboy, N. J. This is expected to be a very 
large organization, and no doubt will be heard from 
frequently in the future. 
Fred Burnham, at least that’s the way his name 
looked in his own hand writing sent us in scores 
of the Alhambra Gun Club, Monterey, Calif. This 
must have been a good shoot, because of the apparent 
number of events, but from the scores sent us our 
hand writing expert can not 'tell who were the shoot¬ 
ers nor what their scores. If a blind man were 
designated to take care of the cashier's office we 
would feel sympathetic but for an able-bodied cashier 
to send out such pathetically rotten scores as those 
from California is beyond comprehension. We must 
omit the Alhambra Gun Club scores for reasons men¬ 
tioned above. „„„

Crosby Challenges for E. C. Cup. 
W. R. Crosby of O’Fallon, Ills., has challenged Jas. 
“Jimmie” Day of Cincinnati, O., for the E. C. Cham¬ 
pionship Cup now held by the latter. The race will 
be shot on Saturday, Sept. 5th, at Dayton, O., on 
the grounds of the N. C. R. Gun Club some time in 
the afternoon, the exact hour not having been fixed as 
yet. The date selected seems to be an excellent one, 
for the reason that while Monday, Sept. 7th (Labor 
Day), is what is known as “Practice Day” for the 
Grand American Handicap Tournament to be held on 
the above grounds September 8-11, the program for 
Monday is really a special event that should attract a 
crowd of amateurs. The program arranged for that 
date is the John H. Patterson Introductory, 200 targets, 
18 yards rise, $20 entrance, targets included, open to 
amateurs only, $125 added to the purse. In addition to 
their regular share of the above purse, the winners 
of first, second and third moneys will receive $50, $30 
and $20, respectively, the said amounts being presented 
by the N. C. R. Gun Club. This makes a most at¬ 
tractive event and one for which no doubt a large num¬ 
ber of amateurs would like to have some preliminary 
practice, which can be had Saturday over the five sets 
of traps installed for use during the Grand American 
Handicap week. With the E. C. cup race between 
Messrs. Crosby and Day also scheduled for Saturday 
afternoon, there is a decided added attraction that ought 
to draw a big crowd of both shooters and spectators. 
The conditions governing contests for the E. C. cup 
are: 100 singles regulation (unknown) angles; 50 tar¬ 
gets, expert rules, one man up, targets thrown from 
five unknown expert traps, five yards apart; and 50 
pairs. 
Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, August 9, 1914. 
There were only eight shooters that took part in the 
regular bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club to¬ 
day, owing no doubt to the morning being so warm 
and sultry. Dr. Pinkerton was the high gun with 90 
per cent., P. S. Meyers, who has been showing re¬ 
markable form for a new shooter, was the runner up 
with 79 per cent. Jack Williams was third high with 
76 per cent. C. von Lengerke and T. Kelley shot a 
race at 100 targets, and was Tom’s race until the last 
frame, when something seemed to go wrong, and Carl 
pulled a winner by three fargets. 
Our next shooting date will be on August 23rd, so 
get the habit and pay us a visit. Everybody is welcome 
to shoot with us at -the Hudsons.

Anaconda Gun Club. 
Anaconda, Mo., Aug. 1, 1914. 
Superb weather conditions favored the 17 gunmen 
who reported yesterday afternoon at Nell shooting 
park for the August competition of the Anaconda Gun 
Club. Six events were scheduled, all a-t 25 singles. 
The first four counted in the series for the prize 
trip to the Panama-Pacific exposition, and at the end 
of the 100 targets the relative position of the leaders 
was unchanged, Drumgoole and Goddard each break¬ 
ing 85. The aggregate score -is: Drumgoole, 1,583; God¬ 
dard, 1,573. Only 200 targets remain in this com¬ 
petition, half of them to be shot in November and 
half in December. During the duck shooting sea¬ 
son, which starts September 1, no shoots will be 
held in that month or October. 
Of yesterday’s events the first, second and last were 
for practice only. The third was for the Keppler 
medal, won by Peckover with a score of 24. The 
fourth was for the Twohy medal, Gemmett making a 
clean score. The fifth event was a sweepstake. 
Out-of-town visitors at the traps were Ed. Scharnikow 
and A. L. Tippett of Deer Lodge, H. R. Burg of 
Tacoma, Messrs. Wraith and Siska of Salt Lake and 
C. IT. Smith and C. C. Goddard of Butte.
