i THE STEEL LINING MEANS STEEL-STRENGTH. 
The powder charge in U. M. C. Arrow and Nitro Club shells is surrounded by the steel lining—a 
tough band of steel. The powder rests entirely against this steel— not against paper. No 
other American shell manufacturer supplies this added protection of steel. The Steel Lining 
means safety—the gun is better protected as well as the face of the sportsman. The powder is 
also protected from moisture, insuring snappy loads in wet weather. The Steel Lining is the last 
step forward in shell making—the final touch of perfection. 
U. M. C. Shells cost more to make but no more to buy.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
A four-man team match between the Fox Hills Golf 
Club, of Staten Island, and the Larchmont Yacht Club 
on the grounds of the latter, was decided on April 18. 
Each man shot at 100 targets. The Fox Hills team won 
by a total of 349 to 340.

The genial, contemplative secretaries of certain gun 
clubs, whose loyalty, devotion and energy impel them to 
send their club scores for publication at such odd times 
as they happen to think of them, sometimes from one to 
four weeks after the shoot to which they refer has taken 
place, have an undoubted belief that said scores are news 
nevertheless. Presumably they are news till published. 
Sometimes they are not published. 
The new gun of the renowned bandmaster, John Philip 
Sousa, seems to be finding the keynote in trapshooting 
melodies. We note in the press despatches that at Hot 
Springs, Va., he scored a victory in a handicap shoot 
with a score of 24 out of 25. 
It 
Mr. Lester S. German, the famous professional, broke 
144 targets out of 150, at the shoot of the South End 
Gun Club, Reading, Pa., on April 17. There were ten 
events on the programme, each at 15 targets, and he 
broke straight in five events. 
At Tuckahoe, N. Y., April 17, a five-man team con¬ 
test was shot between White Plains and the local club. 
Each man shot at 25 targets. The totals were: Tuckahoe 
89, White Plains 101. The next regular club shoot of 
the Tuckahoe Gun Club will be held on May 1. 
The handsome trophy, the prize in the 100-target event 
at the shoot of the Highland Gun Club, at Edge Hill, 
Pa., April 17, was won by Mr. Robert G. Ringgold, with 
a total of 91. A sliding handicap governed. Ringgold, 
starting at 16yds., was moved back by regular stages to 
20yds. 
a?, 
A six-man team of the Montclair, N. J., Gun Club 
visited Princeton, April 17, and shot a very close contest, 
winning on the narrow margin of one target, the totals 
being 231 to 230, out of a possible 300. As Princeton had 
but four available men, two of the best team members, 
Messrs. Latta and Wright, shot at MO targets instead of 
50, thus supplying the deficiency in the team membership.
