New York Athletic Club. 
Pelham Manor, N Y., April 22.—When the season’s 
curtain was dropped over the traps at Travers Island 
to-day there was much interest shown by gunners and 
visitors. K. L,. Spotts lined up at the top of the season’s 
average from scratch, and his prize was an exceedingly 
l.’andsome cup. April trophy went to R. R. Debacher, 
Spiing cup to T. Lenane. C. W. Billings won presi¬ 
dent's cup by a very wide margin. D. F. McMahon was 
high enough to take away Brandenburg trophy. 
This has been the most successful trap season thus 
far recorded at the New York A. C. All contestants 
have e.xpressed themselves as highly satisfied with the 
handicapping and management of the events. The annual 
championship of the club will be held April 27. The

Mulberry Grove Gun Club. 
Regardless of the extremely severe weather conditions 
under which the weekly series of shoots for the Du 
Pont 1912 watch fob trophy was held, our club had a fair 
attendance at each shoot, and the amount of enthusiasm 
created over the event was astonishing. 
The unusually low scores must be accounted for by 
the inclement weather, and the fact that trapshooting 
has ju: 5 t been introduced to the members of the club. 
I'rom previous shooting it seemed the best policy to 
pick Ed. Hartley to finish first, but the first shoot was 
sufficient evidence that O. T. Davis was going to be 
‘‘up to his neck” in the race throughout. At the end 
it was found, to the surprise of all, that he made the 
highest average, 97 out of 150. F. E. IMartin was also 
thought to be a strong contender for high honors, but 
his IG-gauge tvas found to be too light for any success 
with the “clay animals.” 
Two of our most enthusiastic members—i\Ir. and Mrs. 
John W. Ingram—who have been absent for a few 
months, are making arrangements for their return, 
which fact goes a long w'ay toward insuring our club 
the permanent organization, that is here to stay. If 
the w'eather ever does get better, the prospects for new 
tnembers wull be much brighter. 
The scores of the trophy shoot, 150 targets, follow': 
O. T. Davis 97. E. M. Ellis 94, Ed. Hartley 91, *Fred 
E. Martin 89, Yates Ingram 84, D. A. Causey S3, E. A. 
(jlasgow 09. 
*Score made with a IG-gauge gun. 
Four members failed to take part in the trophy shoot 
because of their inability to regularly attend the shoots, 
but shot only when their business allowed them to 
attend.

Who’s Who in Pacific Indian Tribe. 
Frank C. Riehl, Herald of the Pacific Indians, has 
sent us a copy of the “Book of the Pacific Indians.” 
compiled by him.self, and it is a worthy production. It 
tells the why and wherefore of the Indians from 
papoose state to battlefield or happy trapshooting 
grounds. It contains portraits of its members, with 
room for one more at the end. It contains rates to the 
next pow-wow at Tacoma, Wash., on June 24. 
Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., April 18.—The shoot held here to-day 
on the grounds of the Columbus Gun Club was O.K. 
A nice crow'd of shooters was out, and everyone seemed 
to have a good time. Some twenty shooters took part. 
The professionals were very much in evidence. They 
sure were welcome. Mr. Hassam made his appearance 
for the first time, and says he will be with us again; he 
certainly made friends. 
The shoot held at the Hotel Bulkhead was a success. 
There w'ill be another one some time in May—one of 
those old-fashioned ones with 200 -target program, purses 
divided percentage, like you used to shoot long ago. 
'.\ hen you hit them you get paid for it. Keep a look¬ 
out for the program, for there is going to be a shooting 
match sure, and the fishing w'ill be good at that time. 
There will be $100 added to the program of the annual 
spring shoot on May 8 and 9, at the Columbus Gun Club. 
The grounds will be open for practice May 7. 
The Circleville twins were missed. Did anyone see 
them? The fishing at Indian Lake the past week has 
been fine. Black bass and croppies were biting great. 
Soon as it turns warm again one can look for fine fishing.

Amateur Winners 
at the Trap 
Mr. J. R. Graham’s winning of the 1911 Combined Amateur Average 
is emphatic proof of the hard, close shooting qualities which recommend the 
Remlng tonrUMC PUMP GUN 
to novice and veteran alike. 
Mr. George Lyon’s handling of this arm in winning the E. C. Cup, emblematic 
of the World’s Championship at targets, gave a revelation of its speed at doubles. 
Both winnings were made, of course, with 
I^emingm^UMC STEEL LINED SHELLS 
J^emlngtori-UMC — the perfect shooting combination.
