and it is probable that the range of the Hyde Park Gun 
Club will be used. Any citizen of the above sections 
of Ohio and Kentucky, can enter the trials, which will 
be conducted under the supervision of a governor ap¬ 
pointed by the U. S. Revolver Association. There will 
be a number of the members of the Cincinnati Re¬ 
volver Club entered for the trials, and several other 
clubs will also be represented. Cincinnati is the home 
of quite a num.ber of good revolver shots, and there 
is a possibility of one of them making the team. At 
the club’s annual meeting the following officers were 
elected: Howard Cox, President; Dr. P. K. Phillips, 
Vice-President; Dr. E. H. Thompson, Treasurer; Dr. 
A. A. Yungblut, Secretary. Beecroft. 
DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Keep a place in your date book for the annual 
national championships at Travers Island, April 4. with 
practice day April 3. You will find good company both 
at the traps and in the club house. 
T. H. K., Secretary of Hudson Gun Club, Jersey City, 
writes: “On April 21 we purpose holding our annual 
merchandise prize shoot at 100 targets, open to all ama¬ 
teurs. Joe Whitley will preside in the dining hall on 
this occasion, and we assure you that all hands will be 
well taken care. Refreshments gratis.” 
The tournament that was to be held on Feb. 22 by 
Cleveland Gun Club will be shot April 3. No use tell¬ 
ing the regular shooter about the events engineered by 
F. H. W.’s charges, but in case some of the new shoot¬ 
ers do not know the kind they have in Cleveland, I may 
add: “They don’t come any better.” 
Secretary J. A. Bingaman, of Pillow Gun Club, Pillow, 
Pa., has pressed the button starting the wheels moving 
toward making the registered tournament June 14 a 
great big success. It is safe to say that if the rest of the 
members of Pillow are as enthusiastic as Brother Binga¬ 
man, the shoot will make the rest of the State lean 
over and listen. 
William A Murdock, to whom is due considerable of 
the credit for the success of Meadow Springs Gun Club, 
•of Philadelphia, has declined renomination for the 
secretaryship, because of business obligations. The 
absence of Mr. Murdock from the busy end of the club 
will be keenly felt by those who have known him per¬ 
sonally or by correspondence. His successor will have 
to be good to make good. 
K 
Elmer E. Shaner, Secretary-Treasurer Interstate As¬ 
sociation, writes: “Numerous gun clubs have evidently 
overlooked the fact that our rules pertaining to the reg¬ 
istration of Sunday tournaments have not been changed, 
as we have lately received several requests to register 
Sunday dates. For the benefit of all concerned, we 
thank you to announce in the Trap Department of 
Forest and Stream that we are not privileged to reg¬ 
ister a tournament for Sunday only. A tournament 
which includes a Sunday may be registered, but the 
scores made on week days only are counted in the 
official records.” 
Following out the plan adopted in 1909, the Du Pont 
Company again offers to both amateur and professional 
trapshooters of the United States and Canada a solid 
gold watch fob as its “1912 long run trophy.” The shape 
of the charm is unique, the design being bas relief 
of a trapshooter in position at the score. The conditions 
are the same as in the past—i. e., a professional must 
break 125 straight in a registered tournament to be 
entitled to a trophy; amateurs must break 100 straight 
under the same conditions. The only other condition 
imposed by the Du Pont Company is that the party 
making the long run must use one or other of the 
brands of smokeless shotgun powders manufactured by 
that company. After a shooter has won a “long run 
trophy,” he receives an additional bar for each long 
run made by him in subsequent registered tournaments.

Hudson Gun Club, 
Jersey City, N. J., March 10.—Wintry winds or 
March gales could not keep the members of the Hudson 
Ciun Club from indulging in their favorite game at the 
traps, as there was an attendance this morning of thirty- 
one shooters present at roll call. 
We had the pleasure of meeting Messrs. Kirkwood and 
C'sborne, who journeyed from Boston, Mass., for the 
first time at our grounds, and Messrs. Billings and 
Coffin from Glen Ridge, N. J., who have been strangers 
here for some time past; and last, but not least, our 
old club mate, E. B. Staples from Franklyn, Mass., 
who could not resist the temptation to stay away from 
his old stamping grounds, so with the assistance of a 
half dozen boys to carry his luggage, he managed to 
reach the grounds safe and sound, and showed us that 
he still knows how to break clay pigeons. Well, they 
are all fine fellows, and we would be pleased to throw 
targets for them as often as they come over—and then 
some. 
The wind this morning was blowing a gale, and the 
day was very cold, conditions that are not propitious to 
high scores, and the shooter that could keep in the 20 
column was going some, and had to keep at it pretty 
stiff to do so. 
I,ou Shortey this morning managed to beat out the 
bunch for high average with 84 per cent., Ed. Staples 
being the runner-up with 83, and Dave Engle and P. 
(Isborne tying on 82 for third place with the low aver¬ 
age prize going to Joe Whitley. 
Our next .shooting date is March 24, and we are 
going to have a number of matches between some of 
our members take place on this date, so if you want 
to be in line for cigars, ice cream, etc., that will be on 
Everybody 
is welcome, and 
if you don’t know 
how 
to 
get 
to 
the 
grounds, just ask 
the first “cop” that you 
meet.
