tests. The winners of the different competitions stack 
up as follows: Gilbert, one open competition and 
four challenge matches. VV. R. Crosby, one open 
competition (St. Louis, May 16-22, 1899), and five chal¬ 
lenge contests. R. O. Heikes, one open competi¬ 
tion (Dayton, O., Oct. 11-1& 1898), and three chal¬ 
lenge contests. Then follow Geo. L. Lyon with a win 
at the open competition at Atlantic City, N. J., Sep¬ 
tember 23, 1911, when the conditions were changed to 
100 singles, unknown angles, 50 targets, expert rules, 
and 25 pairs (the same conditions which govern all 
contests for the trophy at the present time). Mr. Lyon 
also won a challenge contest on May 4, 1012, at Wil¬ 
mington, Del., when he defeated Lester German, the 
challenger, in an interesting match. 
Back in 1899 Jim Elliott took the trophy from Crosby 
in a match shot at Batavia, N. Y., on July 24 of that 
year. In later years, that is, May 14, 1912, Charlie 
Young won the open competition for the trophy staged 
during the West Virginia State shoot at Fairmont, W. 
Va., breaking 184 x 200. H. D. Freeman challenged 
Young for the trophy and took it away from him at 
Cincinnati on July 4 of the same year with the good 
score of 189 x 200. Jimmie Day did not let Freeman 
keep the trophy very long, for he put in a challenge 
for it tit orice, and broke 188 to Freeman’s 183 at Cin¬ 
cinnati on August 24 of the same year. Since then 
there has been nothing doing until Crosby stepped 
once more to the front and claimed the right to chal¬ 
lenge Mr. Day for the trophy, and that match, as stated 
above, will be shot on September 5, about 2 p. m. at 
Dayton, O., on the grounds of the N. C. R. Gun Club. 
Prior to the open competition held at Atlantic City 
on September 23, 1911, the challenge contests were 50 
targets per man at each style of shooting, unknown 
angles, expert rules, and pairs (25). Under those ex¬ 
tremely hard conditions Gilbert holds the best rec¬ 
ords. At Arnold’s Park, la., on Sept. 8, 1900, he broke 
143 x 150 and defeated Jim Elliott. Again at Dayton, 
O. , three years earlier, namely on July 31, 1897, he 
defeated “Pop” Heikes, the holder,- by breaking 142. 
To Gilbert also belongs the honor (?) of making the 
lowest winning score for the trophy. On November 
4, 1899, at Batavia, N. Y., Gilbert as challenger met 
Crosby, the holder, under most strenuous weather con¬ 
ditions, the targets, too, it may be mentioned inci¬ 
dentally were thrown about the limit. When the last 
target had been shot at, and the goose eggs counted 
up, it was discovered that Gilbert’s total of 120 x 150 
was just one target better than Crosby’s 119 out of the 
same number.

A rapid fire match was held yesterday by the Fort

ditions were excellent. G. A. Snyder won the match

followed by F. B. Fisher and Granville Teter with 48. 
Two minutes were allowed for 10 shots, according

Y OU can do fancy shooting 
with this rifle yourself. 
It’s not so wonderful if 
your rifle is built for it. 
Of course it’s easier to bit 
things in the air with a big 
load of shot than with a little 
rifle bullet—it means quick 
pointing, straight holding and 
clean, perfectly timed pulling. 
You’ll need the new extra long Savage slide 
handle, that doesn’t strain your wrist or cramp 
your elbow, but lets you get your arm well out 
so you can control and point the barrel naturally 
and perfectly. 
You’ll need the new Savage corrugated steel 
shotgun butt-plate—no sharp prongs or corners to 
catch or dig in—no smooth surface to slip, or hard 
rubber to chip and break—that jumps to the 
shoulder instantly and clings as though it grew 
there. 
And you’ll peed the new sharply curved, extra 
full Savage pistol grip—curved -so much that your 
hand holds the butt to the 
shoulder steady as a rock and 
leaves the trigger finger abso¬ 
lutely unhampered and free, as 
it must be for -the delicate, per¬ 
fectly timed pulling -that snap¬ 
shooting requires. 
And the outlines and -propor¬ 
tions—the shape, balance and 
hang—so necessary for success¬ 
ful snap-shooting are just as important for the 
most accurate deliberate work. A man struggling 
with an awkward rifle simply cannot do h-is best. 
The new .22 Savage Tubular has -all the original 
Savage .22. calibre features, hammerless trombone 
action, solid breach, solid top, side ejection—no 
exposed moving parts, simple takedown device, 
breech-bolt removable without tools—features every¬ 
one has imitated but no one has equalled. 
Tube magazine holds 20 shorts, 17 longs, or 15 
long rifles, 24-in. octagon barrel. Weight 5^4 
pounds. Write us for particulars.
