THREE STEPS in ihe LEAD 
ECTOR 
Better because it's different, 
Different because it's better. 
The REMINGTON PUMP stands 3 steps in the lead. 1st, Ham¬ 
merless; 2nd, Solid Breech; 3rd, Bottom Ejection of the shell 
from the only opening in the frame. No other pump gun on 
the market has reached even one of these steps of superiority. 
Yet, if the Remington Pump hadn’t one of the 3 indispensable 
improvements which place it “in a class by itself,” it would 
still lead, because of its shooting qualities. Watch a man shoot¬ 
ing a Remington Pump “snuff out the targets” or get game 
that looks ungettable. The pattern is uniform and close because 
of the famous Remington choking system. Get in the lead. 
Get a Remington Pump. 
REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY,

Agency, 313 Broadway, New York City 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., April 3.—Some very good scores 
were made by the Ossining Gun Club members to-day. 
During the early part of the afternoon there was a lower¬ 
ing sky and consequent darkness that made the targets 
hard to find. Later the sun peeped out enough to allow 
some good shooting. Brandreth, Hyland and Blandford, 
three of the team that was pitted against the N. Y. 
A. C., shot at ICO targets each. Blandford got 90, Hy¬ 
land 86, Brandreth 84, the latter not shooting up to his 
usual snappy form. Hj^land got a run of 33 straight. 
“Johnny” is back in his old form again, and can be 
counted on as a factor from now on. One of our new 
members, Schuyler Hamilton, came flying up in his new 
Renault runabout. This was Mr. Hamilton’s first ap¬ 
pearance at the traps; in fact, the first time he has ever 
shot at a flying object, and his shooting under the cir¬ 
cumstances was little short of phenomenal. He was 
given the usual limit of handicap in event No. 3 for 
beginners. After the tie shoot-off Hyland and Blandford 
both acceded him the win on the Dupont trophy. “Abe” 
Aitchison, our old veteran shooter, who always shoots 
with gun below elbow, predicts that Hamilton will have 
us all “stepping” within a year. The return match 
with the N. Y. A. C. will be held likely on April 15.

Nississisppi State Tournament. 
Vicksburg, Miss. — All arrangements have been per¬ 
fected and programmes are now in print for the Missis- 
sippi State tournament, to be held here April 26, 27 and 
28. Besides the added money and prizes there are two 
handsome trophies to be contested for, namely, the three- 
man team race, to consist of three shooters to the team, 
merribers of same club, and the individual championship 
trophy. These events are open to any amateur team or 
amateur in the world. There are also given handsome and 
valuable prizes to be contested for by the professionals. 
Quite a number of shooters throughout the country have 
been heard from, and this insures quite a good attend¬ 
ance. Our club, too, has quite a list of active shooters, 
and fully ten will shoot through the programme for the 
money. Squads will be in attendance from New Or¬ 
leans, Jackson, Shreveport, Ruston, Yazoo City, Rolling 
Fork, Natchez, Clarksdale, Memphis, Union City and' 
other points. The following well-known professionals 
will be with us which will go far toward making the 
shoot an attractive one. Money, Ivy, Harris, Spencer, 
Ward, Borden, Lyon, Heer, Long, Hatcher, Clancy, Free¬ 
man, Osborne, Chaudet, Huff, Riley and Le Compte. 
This is the ideal time of the season to visit Vicksburg, 
and no doubt a great many Western and Eastern shoot¬ 
ers will be in attendance, not only to shoot, but to visit 
the Vicksburg National Military Park, the finest on 
earth. All are welcome and will be given the time of 
their lives. Rabbit. 
Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind.—Saturday afternoon, April 3, 
marked the commencement of another bi-weekly contest 
among the amateur members of the Indianapolis Gun 
Club, this time for the ownership of the Heaton trophy, 
a new .351 Winchester automatic rifle and a leather con¬ 
taining case. The rules adopted for the government of 
this contest provide for handicaps for contestants, whose 
abilities and skill have been proven in two recent sliding 
distance handicap contests among the club members. 
Michaelis, Parry, Dixon and Denny are to start in the 
contest shooting from 20yds. Britton, Farrell, \Vise, Bell, 
Hymer, Voris, Brennan, Hillis and Col. Tripp are as¬ 
signed to 18yds., and the balance of the membership at 
16yds. The contest consists of an indeterminate number 
of bi-weekly shoots of 50 targets each on the first and 
third Saturdays of each month. As and when the 20yd. 
contestants win one of the events of the series he will, in 
the next event in which he competes, move back an 
additional yard. The 18yd. and 16yd. contestants will 
move back two additional yards in the handicap scale as 
they win one event of the series. To be the ultimate 
winner, therefore, a 20yd. contestant must win one event 
from 20yds., a second from 21yds., and a third from 
22yds. The 18yd. contestant must win the first from 
18yds., the second from 20yds., and the third from 
22yds. The IGyds. contestant must win one event from 
IGyds., the second from 18yds., and the third one from 
20yds. The trophy will be awarded to the contestant who 
first wins three separate events of the series of shoots. 
The second and fourth Saturdays of each month will 
be given over to the contest for the Ballistic-Empire 
cup, donated for competition by H. W. Vietmeyer, and 
which will be shot for under and according to the same 
rules that govern the Heaton trophy contest. 
The initial event in the Heaton trophy contest last 
Saturday afternoon was captured by Hymer, shooting 
from 18yds., who broke 41 out of the 50 targets. He said 
that looked like a mighty good score to him, which in 
fact it was, until Young went out and blew up 48 out of 
50. Fortunately, for Hymer, Young’s score doesn’t count 
in the contest, as he is a professional. The scores made 
in this event were: Young 48, Hymer (IS) 41, Parry (20) 
40, Bell (18) 40, Morris 40, Dixon (20) 39, *Van Nest 38, 
Moller 38, Trotter 38, Anderson 38, Roland 36, Anderson 
35, Britton (18) 33, Habich 32, Neighbors 26.
