rooms. A fine representation of the county’s 
leading sportsmen were present and everyone be¬ 
fore he left was a member. 
The election of permanent officers for the 
year was in order: The following being the re¬ 
sult of the ballot casting: President, D. Newton 
Henson; vice-president, Clarence Gaylor, Wil- 
^ liamsport; secretary, Gorman S. Buzzard, also 
secretary of the Hagerstown Board of Trade; 
treasurer and field manager, Samuel B. Haines. 
The secretary was instructed to write L. R. 
Worthington, secretary of the State Organiza¬ 
tion with the object of this club becoming mem¬ 
bers of the Inter-State Association anticipating 
a registered shoot here during the ooming sum¬ 
mer, when it is expected several hundred of the 
leading trap shots throughout the East will as¬ 
semble here and compete in a several day’s han¬ 
dicap. The secretary was instructed to draw up 
suitable constitution and by-laws concerning the 
privileges of members- 
PINEHURST CLASSIC. 
Pinehurst, N. C., Dec. 26, 1914. 
Four days originally, Pinehurst’s eighth an¬ 
nual midwinter handicap scheduled for January 
19 to 23, now occupies the full week. For sev¬ 
eral years past, the regular program has been 
preceded by informal sweepstakes, and this year 
a large number will arrive on the Saturday pre¬ 
ceding. 
The big entry list is growing daily and bids 
fair to very materially advance last year’s rec¬ 
ord which exceeded the hundred mark, and as 
representative and classy a field as the sport al¬ 
luring has ever called together. 
Workmen have been busy at the grounds for 
a week past in anticipation of the event, and 
“f thus early private ammunition has been receiv¬ 
ed in large quantities.

Weather Too Much for Trap Springs. 
A trifling temperature didn’t keep the Jersey 
crackers from trying to break clays to-day, but 
the trap springs refused to work in the cold so 
after three events, during which the traps threw 
anywhere from ten to forty yards, without warn¬ 
ing, the shoot was declared off:

CINCINNATI REVOLVER CLUB. 
The Red team mustered nine members for the 
match on December 23, being opposed by only six 
of the Blues, and consequently had an easy vic¬ 
tory, with a margin of 599 points. A readjust¬ 
ment of the teams seems necessary, so that they 
may meet on a more equal footing in regard to 
attendance. The Reds also carried off high in¬ 
dividual honors, Yungblut putting up a score of 
^ 213, with 21 shots in the black, six of them cen¬ 
ters. Col. Hake, Captain of the Blues, was sec¬ 
ond with 206. On his third target he had a fine 
group of four ten’s and a nine, and captured the 
coveted 5-shot button, with the season’s record 
score, 49, and one that will be hard to beat. 
FOREST AND STREAM 
He shot out of the black ten times, but his other 
shots were well placed, nine of them being cen¬ 
ters, five in the 9- and one in the 8-iring. Elmer 
Hake, who was home for the holidays, shot with 
the Blues, and made third high score, 205, plac¬ 
ing 19 shots in the black, getting four centers, 
nine 9’s and six 8’s. K. Stevenson was not quite 
back in form, although he went over the double¬ 
century mark. A. Kenan got a poor start, his 
first target spoiling his chance to finish in the 
flight, and his third being below his average. 
But for these two he would have been at the 
top. J. Stevenson started off well with three 
centers, and a total of 45 on his first target, but 
be failed to keep up the pace, and was tied with 
43 
Kenan on 197. The club is very much elated 
over winning the team match with the Chicago 
Club, and another race, in fact several, will be 
arranged for during the winter. The next meet 
will be on Jan. 
6th, when the 
annual 
meeting 
and election of officers 
will be 
held.

LOADED BY RECOIL, CONTROLLED BY THE TRIGGER FINGER 
Self-Loading Shotgun 
12 GAUGE, MODEL 1911 
The Winchester Self-Loader is the wild fowl gun par excellence. The 
recoil ejects the fired shell, feeds a loaded shell from the magazine into the 
chamber, cocks the hammer and leaves the gun ready to be fired again. 
In wild fowl shooting the game often comes fast and when least expected. 
Shoot a Winchester Self-Loader and you can always be prepared for a 
series of shots, for the loading and firing of this gun are controlled by the 
trigger finger. As the recoil in this gun is used to operate the reloading 
mechanism, the “kick” of heavy loads is minimized, making the gun very 
pleasant to shoot. It is a hammerless, two-part take-down, five-shot 
repeater that works well with all standard loads. The working parts 
being made of Nickel steel, make it strong and safe. Ask your dealer to 
show you the Winchester that’s
