Peters’ Cup, emblematic of the .22 State Championship of 
Indiana and Ohio, was again won by Jesse Smith, of Col¬ 
umbus, Ohio, shooting UMC .22 Cartridges. In a field of 
29 he scored 117 points, and on the shoot off made a possi¬ 
ble, winning the cup. 
In a recent Government test at the UMC factory over 
5,000 .22 Short Smokeless Cartridges were fired without a 
missfire. Those tests showed that UMC .22s are ’way inside 
of Government requirements, the maximum deviation show¬ 
ing .58 of an inch, and the mean deviation .33 of an inch.

Mr. F. M. Fames writes that “The Keystone Shooting 
League of Philadelphia, will give their second annual 
target tournament in March, the dates, etc., to be an¬ 
nounced later. Prizes have already been offered that 
will eclipse those donated for this shoot last year. A 
special programme will be announced that is expected

to make this shoot one of the best of the year 1909. 
Full particulars will be published later.” 
In the series of twelve shoots for the Walsrode cup, 
two contestants, Messrs. Merrick R. Baldwin and Jerome 
D. Gedney, have scored three legs each. Messrs. Fleck 
and Wallis have each scored two legs. Eleven contests 
have been decided, hence the twelfth contest is antici¬ 
pated with special interest. 
At the shoot of the Highland Shooting Association, 
Jan. 9, Mr. Charles Mink won a leg on the gold trophy, 
emblematic of amateur trapshooters’ championship of 
Philadelphia. This was the first contest for it. He 
broke 95 out of 100 targets. To become the personal 
property of a contestant the conditions enjoin that it 
must be won four times in succession, and is subject to 
challenge by any amateur of Philadelphia, and within a 
25-mile radius of that city.
