sisting in the office both day and night and hustling 
squads between times, he did not have much to do. 
On Saturday after everybody had gone and the shades 
of night were fast beginning to fall, “Chief-Make-Em- 
Fly” was hard at it taking out the traps and boxing 
them up for shipment. 
The Westy Hogan scoreboard is a work of art. It 
ds in charge of George Benjamin, a thirty-third degree 
Hogan, and is always greatly admired and much ap¬ 
preciated by the shooters. 
It was a matter of regret that E. N. Gillespie, of 
Freeport, Pa., was unable to attend the shoot. Mr. 
Gillespie was the donor of the “Bear Trap” trophy. 
He was unavoidably detained at home by business. 
The secretary is in receipt of the following letter 
addressed to the Tournament Committee of the Hogans 
from Mr. C. H. Newcomb, of Philadelphia, one of the 
best known and most popular trapshooters in the 
country: “Esteemed Friends: Now that the 1914 
Westy Hogan Tournament is history, I wish to con¬ 
gratulate and compliment you, one and all, on the very 
excellent and satisfactory tournament. When everything 
is taken into consideration, viz., the wonderfully at¬ 
tractive program, excellent list of prizes, satisfaction 
given the shooters, and the smooth running of the shoot, 
I do not believe I am amiss in saying that it wag 
really your best tournament. I know you did a lot 
of hard work and were glad when it was over, but you 
cannot help but feel a great degree of satisfaction when 
you know you have given such an exceptionally satis¬ 
factory shoot. Trusting that you will have many more 
equally successful tournaments and again extending my 
congratulations, I remain, Verv truly vours. 
C. H. NEWCOMB. 
E. Reed Shaner, secretary of The Interstate Asso¬ 
ciation, notwithstanding his strenuous week at the Grand 
American Handicap, shot the entire program at the 
Westy Hogan tournament. His score was high credit¬ 
able. E. Reed is a full-fledged Hogan now, having 
been elected to membership at the annual meeting this 
year. 
Harry B. Cook, the estimable proprietor of the ex¬ 
clusive Seaside House, one of Atlantic City’s leading 
hotels, won the Stevens trophy. The winner was not 
known until after all the records had been gone over 
and when a committee of the Hogans waited on Mr. 
Cook to present him with the gun he was as much 
pleased as he was surprised. Mr. Cook is an inveterate 
trap shot and one of the best friends the Westy Hogans 
have. 
F. E. IT. Sheldon, rendered valuable assistance in 
the office in writing squad sheets and compiling scores. 
Haze Keller, chairman of the Trophy Committee, was 
warmly complimented for the excellent judgment he 
displayed in the selection and purchase of the Westy 
Hogan trophies. They were undoubtedly the finest ever 
awarded at a trapshooting tournament. Some Haze, 
this. 
The program spoke for itself. Chairman Squier, of 
the Tournament Committee, who prepared it. spent 
many long hours in getting it just right. For his 
labor and trouble he has the thanks of all the Hogans 
and the great body of shooters who participated. 
West End Cun C'uh. 
Richmond, Va., September 26, 1914. 
Poor scores of some of the steadiest shots in the 
club were the features Saturday. One man who had 
been breaking into the 91 per cent, class every month 
this season made 74 per cent, while consistent 85 to 88 
per cent, men went to 70 per cent. Everybody had the 
malady known as “M'issingitis.” Marvelous to tell 
everybody enjoyed the shoot for they all went down 
together, that is the “big bucks” who have been leading 
the herd.

Ross” Rifle Luck— 
“Luck” favors those who shoot 
“ROSS” Rifles, because their 
superior power, quick action and accuracy, 
minimize mistakes and do best justice to the 
skilled marksman. Hunters of big game all 
over the world, testify to the low trajectory of 
the “Ross” . 280 , and to the paralysing effect 
of the “Ross” .280 Sporting Cartridge with 
copper tube expanding bullet, (patented).
