“ Putting It Over 
99 
When the last man is up in the last inning and the pitcher cuts the corners 
of the plate three times, it’s sure to bring out the applause. 
U. M. C. STEEL LINED SHELLS 
have “put it over,” and the sportsmen of America are well pleased, as shown by 
their words and letters to us. 
Did Bill Heer “put it over” when he raised his 1906 score to 96.67%, 
shooting before many spectators and contestants in open competition 
The Highest Amateur Score with any Pump Gun went to Denny Holland 
and his Remington-U. M. C. combination. That was cutting the corners—for a 
new gun. 
The Two-shot Record showed Riley Thompson’s skill, and U. M. C. 
Shells had scored 
98.35% arvd 97.22% 
W. H. Heer. 
went to Heer and his Remington-U. M. C. combination. First honors for either U. M. C. or 
Remington were won at the G. A. H., Eastern, Southern, Rocky Mountain, Grand Canadian, Am¬ 
ateur Championship, and many more too numerous to mention. 
The Steel Lined Shells sure “put it over.” They cost no more than the unlined.

The complimentary shoot and banquet given in honor 
of the popular trade expert, Mr. John R. Taylor, by the 
Columbus, O., Gun Club, was a gratifying success. After 
the banquet. Secretary Fred Shattuck, in behalf of Mr. 
Taylor’s Columbus friends, presented a pair of gold and 
sapphire cuff buttons, making therewith a neat presenta¬ 
tion speech, to which Mr. Taylor responded graciously 
and feelingly. Mr. Taylor left for his new field of activ¬ 
ity, on Sunday evening, Feb. 28. He will make his home 
in Atlanta, Ga. 
A dispatch fiom Sea Isle City, to the Philadelphia In¬ 
quirer recounts that the “sport of trapshooting has taken 
a firm hold on the young men of Cape May county, and 
during the past few weeks no less than three new gun 
clubs have been organized. There is much rivalry 
amang the clubs, all of which boast of experts at both 
target and live-bird shooting. Among the thirty members 
of the Cuthbert Gun Club, whose shooting range is at 
Swainton, Albert Urquhart and Samuel Swain have been 
leading their club mates in the various matches, on 
numerous occasions made straight kills. Horace Town¬ 
send and Edward Camp, of the same club, are makiijg 
excellent scores. The Ocean View Gun Club, at a re¬ 
cent invitation shoot, brought together many of the best 
marksmen in the county. The Palermo Club, only or¬ 
ganized three weeks ago, carried off most of the prizes, 
the best shooting being done by Louis Cossaboon, who 
gathered 35 targets out of a possible 40. In addition to 
the above-named clubs, similar organizations at Wild¬ 
wood, Avalon and Sea Isle City, propose shortly holding 
a tournament to decide the championship of Cape May 
county, a silver cup to be given the winning club. 
The programme for the third annual championship of 
Metropolitan clubs, to be held under the auspices of the 
Montclair Gun Club, April 7, is now ready for distri¬ 
bution. The conditions of this great event are 100 tar¬ 
gets, scratch, $2 entrance. Competition is open to all 
amateur members of clubs situated within 75 miles of 
New York city. First prize, valuable 14-kt. gold

kt. gold watch fob and charm, the gift of the Montclair 
Gun Club. Third prize, valuable 14-kt. gold watch fob 
and charm, the gift of the Montclair Gun Club. If five 
or more clubs are represented by at least five men 
each in the championship event, a gold pin will be 
awarded to each man comprising the winning team. 
Each club may shoot as many men as they choose, the 
five highest scores being selected. No additional en¬ 
trance required. Supplementary event, Hendrickson sys¬ 
tem of match shooting. The sixteen high guns in the 
championship event will be entitled to compete for this

gun with the tenth high gun, and so on; the eighth high 
gun competing with the sixteenth high gun. Winners 
will then in turn compete with winners until a final 
winner is selected; all matches will be at 25 targets, ex¬ 
cept the final, which will be at 50 targets. Ties will be 
decided at miss-and-out. Entrance, including all targets,
