CLUB RIFLES AND TELESCOPES HELP TO IN¬ 
CREASE MEMBERSHIP. 
In addition to butts and club house the club should 
provide a few club rifles and telescopes for the gen¬ 
eral use of members. A small charge of five cents 
per day for the loan of these will provide a fund which 
will eventually repay their original cost and for sub¬ 
sequent repairs and renewals. Regulations should be 
made so that when the number of members desiring 
to use them exceed the number of rifles and telescopes 
available members may have them in turn. The five 
cents fee should cover all the 'times a member may 
use either a rifle or telescope in one day. The en¬ 
thusiastic member will provide his own equipment, but 
many men who would ultimately become enthusiasts 
are deterred even from starting by the initial cost of 
the necessary equipment, hence the possession of a few 
rifles and telescopes will be found a potent recruiting 
agent which will do as much as anything to attract 
membership. Club rifles and telescope can not be 
too simple, of too good a quality, or be too well 
cleaned and looked after, as they have to stand much 
more use than those privately owned.

peared at the traps to engage in the “Sport Alluring. 
Miss Hammond made high score for the afternoon with 
18 X 25 and also won the Ramsay Trophy for the week.

Jeannette Gun Club. 
New York City, September 23. 
The Jeannette Gun Club held its Handicap Prize 
shoot on the Robin Hood Gun Club grounds, Con¬ 
cord, Staten Island, today. Eight shooters competed for 
6 prizes. Chas. Meyer, with a Handicap of 10, got 
first with a perfect score 50 x 50; Louis Steffens and 
W. Rohlfs tied with the aid of their Handicaps on 
49 x 50; Steffens not being a member could not com¬ 
pete for the prizes so his good shooting did not bring 
him any prize.

Westy Hogan Reflections. 
The Westy Hogans at their annual meeting during 
their tournament in Atlantic City, two weeks ago, re¬ 
elected all the old officers as follows: President, Neaf 
Apgar, of Plainfield, N. J.; vice-president, J. Mowell 
Hawkins, of Baltimore, Md.; secretary and treasurer, 
Bernard Elsesser, of York, Pa. President Apgar ap¬ 
pointed the following tournament committee for 1915: 
L. J. Squier, chairman; J. M. Hawkins, II. H. Stevens, 
T. H. Keller, Jr., C. A. North, George Benjamin, J. 
L. Clark and James Lewis. Five new members were 
elected. They are Homer Clark, of Alton, Ill.; P. B. 
Keenan, of New Haven, Conn.; Walter Huff, of Macon, 
Ga.; Ray Brown, of Belleville, N. J.., and E. Reed 
Shaner, of Pittsburgh, secretary of The Interstate As¬ 
sociation. There was considerable routine business 
transacted at the meeting. 
It was a jolly party of half a hundred that left Day- 
ton, Ohio, in special Pullman cars over the Pennsyl¬ 
vania Railroad for Atlantic Giity. The smoke of the 
last shot fired at the Grand American Handicap had 
hardly blown away until hasty preparations were made 
for the long trip to the Westy Hogan shoot. The train 
left about 3 o’clock on the afternoon of Saturday and 
arrived in Atlantic City the next morning about 11 
o’clock, an hour late. The men in the party swapped 
yarns, played cards and gave minute descriptions of 
how they missed the targets they lost at the Grand 
American Handicap. At frequent intervals Sim Glover 
held the center of the stage while he peeled off a 
couple of good stories. Some of them would hardly 
get by the censor. 
It will doubtless be a matter of interest to followers 
of trapshooting to know that more than half of the 
states of the union were represented at the Westy 
Hogan shoot. Pennsylvania sent 95 shooters and heads 
the list, New Jersey came next with 46, Delaware 28, 
New York 27, Virginia 14, Illinois 8, Maryland 5, West 
Virginia 4. Indiana 4, Massachusetts 4, District of 
Columbia, Connecticut. California. Tennessee and Ohio, 
each 3; Georgia, Washington, South Carolina and North 
Carolina, each 2. and Michigan, Iowa, Kentucky, Kan¬ 
sas, Oregon and Oklahoma, each 1. 
The sentiment in favor of Venice Park as the per¬ 
manent shooting prounds of the Hogans was nearly 
unanimous. There is undoubtedly a certain amount^ of 
attractiveness and novelty in shooting from a pier, 
but it would have been impossible ito complete the 
program used this year on any pier and a better pro¬ 
gram was never offered at any trapshooting tournament. 
The three women’s squads on the last day of the 
shoot attracted much attention. A large crowd of 
Atlantic City visitors journeyed to the grounds and 
watched the performance of the twelve lady shooters 
with interest. A stiff gale was blowing while they 
were shooting and prevented good scores. 
Cashier “Sandy” Lewis motored the office force to and 
from the grounds in his large Pierce-Arrow car. It 
was a treat and thoroughly appreciated by Manager 
Squier and his able lieutenants. One evening the juice 
gave out on the way to the hotel and all hands nearly 
missed supper. 
Much complaint was found by the shooters over the 
poor street car service to Venice Park. The traction 
company could well afford to run extra cars at least 
in the morning and evening. 
Sim Glover, the Westy Hogans’ official “barrel 
header.” chucked his job this year. Hiis excuse was 
that his “co-header” and assistant L. Z. Lawrence was 
not there to help him. But the Hogans will not ac¬ 
cept this and Sim’s fine is now payable to the treasurer.
