Ephrata Gun Club. 
F.phrata, Pa. April 20.—The Ephrata Gun Club held a 
shoot on their new grounds, 1,255 targets being thrown 
from two expert traps. The weather was ideal, and a 
fine lot of shooters presented themselves. The most 
interesting event of the day was the ten-man team race 
at 25 targets per man, between the Ephrata Gun Club 
and the Newmanstown Gun Club. A. K. Ludwig served 
as official scorer in this race, which resulted in a victory 
for the Newmanstown team—184 to 150. In this event 
G. Wallace from Newmanstown, proved the high gun 
with 23 breaks. Kiehl, Kintzer and Ibach each scored 
21 as second high guns. Shanaman and Rader, the two 
shooting stars, landed in the 20-mark as third high. 
Rader smiled when the result was announced that his 
club had won out by 34 targets, and placed a challenge 
with Secretary John Engle, of the Denver Gun Club 
for May 4. Good luck, Frank. 
Field Captain James Kiehl scored exceptionally well, 
considering the work with which he was connected. 
Sprecher and Engle made them step lively. 
In the regular events Rader shot a 92.50 per cent, 
gait. Engle, of Denver, Pa., shot an 88 per cent. gait. 
Boys, shake hands with Sprecher for 35 out of 50. 
A. K. Ludwig, of Temple, Pa., paid the respects of his 
club to the boys with 31 out of the 50. A 68 per cent, 
gait for Capt. Kiehl in the regular events at 50 targets. 
Tim, change to a red tie for luck. Sweigert ahead with 
20 goo-goos out of his 25 targets. Keep up the courage. 
Your spirit will change your luck. The scores:

Loaded Shotgun Shells 
“LLADLR” 
You can’t buy a safer, faster, harder, a more even shoot¬ 
ing or a better keeping load than Winchester “Leader” 
smokeless powder shotgun shells. For field, fowl or 
trap shooting, they are in a class by them.selves, and 
give entire satisfaction in any make of shotgun. The 
results they give are due to their patented construction 
and the careful and exact manner in which they are 
loaded. The patented Corrugated Head used on Win¬ 
chester shells is an invaluable feature. It absorbs the shock 
of the powder explosion and takes the strain from the paper 
tube instead of localizing it, as the old English method 
of metal lining does. That’s why “Leader” shells are 
stronger and less apt to cut off at the mouth of the cup 
than shells made according to English ideas of long ago.

Speedway Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., April 18.—Louis Colquitt was in fine 
form to-day, and carried off the honors at the regular 
weekly shoot of the Speed vay Gun Club. Colquitt fired 
at 275 targets during the afternoon and smashed all but 
13 of them. J. Martin, who was second high man of the 
day, shot in five events, and missed but 10 birds out of 
the 125. The rest of the gunners also shot well. 
The day was an ideal one for trapshooting. Outside of 
Colquitt, H. H. Shannon was the only man to be 
credited with a perfect string of 25 kills. Following are 
the scores:

Sunbury-Selinsgrove Gun Club. 
SuNEURV, Pa., April'18.—The regular weekly practice 
shoot was marred by the hard rain all afternoon. 
Everything is now ready for the State shoot next 
month, the program being on the press at this writing, 
and it will be ready for mailing by the first of May, 
when copies can be had by addressing the Secretary, 
J. W. Schoft’stall. Sunbury, Pa. Some of the features 
are: The merchandise event, Lewis system, which takes 
care of the poor shooter as well as the good ones. _ There 
will be four classes in it, with equal value in prizes in 
each, so that the medium and poor shot will have just 
as good and as many prizes to shoot for as the expert 
shot. The ties for place will be shot off after the event. 
The division of the $1 optional sweeps on each event 
will be divided high gun system, one money for every 
five entries or fraction thereof. This makes it worth 
while to shoot them. 
There will be a special event each day for the men 
that care for them to while away the time between 
trips down the line in the regular events, these being 
doubles, singles, miss-and-outs at 10 targets, and an 
event for an Ithaca gun. 
There will be a full line of standard trap loads for 
sale on the grounds with no inflation of price. They 
will be sold at the regular prices that you pay at home. 
To make sure of your particular load and shell send m 
your reservation early, and we will see that your shells 
are in the club house waiting for you. 
Programs will be mailed on about the first of May. 
For programs or any other information, address J. \N.
