Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., October 3, 1914. 
There was not much of a turn out at the bi-monthly 
shoot of the Ossining Gun Club to-day. Those who 
came out however, thoroughly enjoyed a pleasant after¬ 
noon’s sport with most favorable weather conditions. 
Two Medicos, new members of the club, Dts. Farr and 
Irvine, made their debut at clay bird smashers and 
showed themselves to be most promising “comers.” 
Dr. Farr being an old experienced bird shot, had 
little trouble in adapting himself to the order of things. 
The Ossining Gun Club boasts of nine doctors in its 
membership and hopes some day to get them all on 
the firing line together. Event number 3 was “Snip¬ 
ing” gun below elbow.

Nemours (Ladies) Trapshooting Club. 
Wilmington, Delaware, October 1, 1914. 
The Nemours Trapshooting Club pulled off two handi 
cap events yesterday afternoon, a spoon event and the 
regular Ramsay Weekly Trophy Event. Miss Celeste 
Gentieu was the winner in both, making with her handi¬ 
cap the highest total score in each. 
The Spoon Shoots will be continued every two weeks 
during the winter. The spoons in question are Sterling 
Silver, especially designed by Bailey, Banks and Biddle 
Company of Philadelphia, for Women’s Trapshooting 
Clubs. The events will be handicap events and the 
handicaps will be based on the last four shoots of each 
contestant. 
The competition for the Willis Trophy, a handsome 
Silver Loving Cup, presented to the Club by the well 
known shooter, Mr. L. D. Willis of this city, will 
start next Wednesday, Oct. 7th and will continue every 
other week thereafter until won. High actual scores 
only count on this trophy and as soon as ten different 
women have won a place, the final possession will be 
determined at a handicap shoot. 
Yesterday afternoon Dr. Seward, a member of the 
Nemours Club, presented a beautiful hand embroidered 
collar for high actual score. Mrs. E. L. Riley and Miss 
Jessie Gentieu tied for this on 15 x 25 and as it was 
too late for a shoot off they decided to draw straws for 
it. Mrs. Riley was lucky in the drawing and was made 
the happy possessor of Dr. Seward’s beautiful collar.

“BLUE BTRD.” 
Western Pennsylvania T. S. L. 
The post-season fob contest of the Western Pennsyl¬ 
vania Trapshooters’ League, for the gunners who shot 
through the season’s program, will be held October 
9 on the grounds of the Herron Hill Gun Club, Davis 
Island. 
All year the shooters have been struggling to qualify 
for the right to contest for the fobs, which are assigned 
to the various classes. In addition to the league 
trophies there are four trophies donated by one of the 
leading powder companies. 
Printed in each of the five programs issued this year 
has been the notice: “To be eligible to win any of 
the cash prizes or trophies given for the season’s aver¬ 
age, a contestant must shoot through at least four of 
the five shoots, given by the league, and must belong 
to a league club.” 
The league bylaws state: 
Section two (2) of article four (4)—“No shooter will 
be eligible to compete for any prize offered by this 
league, designated in program for members of the 
league only, unless he is a bona fide member of this 
league.” 
It is unfortunate that some of the clubs have failed 
to keep themselves in good standing, thereby depriving 
their members of the privilege of taking part in this 
shoot. 
Forty shooters shot through four of the five shoots. 
Six were disqualified automatically by their clubs’ fail¬ 
ure to comply with the bylaws. 
Each man will shoot at 100 targets, the tournament 
starting at 1 o’clock sharp Friday afternoon. Those 
eligible to compete for the valuable trophies, together, 
with their season’s record, are: 
G. E. Painter . 
A. H. Aber . 
Norwood Johnston . 
R. J. West . 
B. D. Matthews . 
J. F. Calhoun . 
C. W. Peterson .

SAVAGE. 
Is this a Tiger Rifle? 
.22 Savage Hi-Power 
Y OU know the regulation English tiger rifle—15 pounds of it—.577 
calibre—double barrel—530-grain bullet. You know the English way to 
shoot tiger—from the backs of elephants—with armies of native beaters. 
Here is an experienced tiger hunter, the Rev. H. E. Caldwell, who tested 
the .22 Savage Hi-Power—the little 6/4 pound Imp, which shoots through 
steel boiler plate, and drives its vicious little pointed 70-grain bullet more 
than half a mile a second—and who decided it was a tiger gun. 
To prove it, all alone he walked up on a 400-pound man-eater, aimed roughly 
at the body—too dark to see the sights—and fired one shot. He hit in the intestines— 
“too far back.” 
The tiger went straight up in the air and fell dead in his tracks. It was a tiger rifle. 
It has killed Alaskan Brown Bear, Grizzly, Buffalo, Moose, Elk and Caribou, 
besides the black bear and deer it was originally designed for. 
It holds both the world’s records on moving targets. 
Write us for particulars about “the biggest little gun in the world.”

Herron Hill Gun Club. 
Pittsburgh, Pa., October 3, 1914. 
Roast corn in huge quantities proved an irresistible 
attraction for local gunners yesterday, and they flocked

Davis Island in great numbers. The class A trophy 
was won by C. F. Moore with a score of 49 out of a 
possible 50. E. N. Gillespie and H. D. Holmes were 
tied for the class B trophy, with 46 each, Gillespie 
winning in the shootoff. D. E. Campbell took the 
class C silver with a score of 41, after a shootoff with 
L. B. Fleming. Dunmore won the class D spoon on the
