SALEM ROD, GUN AND YACHT CLUB. 
Night Event a Success. 
December 26, 1914. 
The Salem Rod, Gun and Yacht Clu'b has the 
distinction of holding the first Night Shooting 
Tournament in the United States. The tourna¬ 
ment last night was a grand success, far beyond 
the most sanguine hopes of the committee in 
charge of the affair. Several years ago the Cres¬ 
cent Athletic Club, of New Yohk, tried a system 
of lights with very little success and it was also 
tried at the Sportsmen’s Show at Madison Square 
Garden, New York City, but professional shoot¬ 
ers who were in Salem Saturday night compli¬ 
mented the local club on having a decidedly bet¬ 
ter light than was shown in New York. Or to 
use the words of E. Fred Slear, the popular pro¬ 
fessional shooter for the Remington Company, 
“You have beat them all to it and left the other 
clubs in darkness.” 
The lights were turned on promptly at six 
o’clock and the regular program started as ad¬ 
vertised and proceeded just as smoothly as a day 
tournament. The targets were shown from the 
time they left the trap until they fell on the 
ground to the satisfaction of the shooters and 
the good shooting gives evidence, there being 
fifteen straight scores of ioxio; thirty-one 
scores of 9x10; and twenty-nine scores of 8xio- 
In fact the shooters all made as good scores as 
in daylight shooting, notwithstanding that all 
were skeptical, not a shooter entering in the 
sweepstakes for money, all shooting for targets. 
After the regular program, the cashiers and 
scorers could not accommodate the crowd— 
everyone was convinced that they could see the 
targets and all wanted to shoot. 
To the spectator a night tournament is more 
satisfactory than a day shoot, as a broken or even 
a dusted target can be seen better than in day¬ 
light. The club house and grounds were taxed 
to their capacity to accommodate the crowd that 
gathered to see this new and novel addition to 
the sport of trapshooting. 
Neaf Apgar, the representative for the Peters 
Cartridge Company, was high professional with 
47x50, with W. S. Colfax, of DuPont Company, 
a close second. 
J. H. Minnick, of Wilmington, was high ama¬ 
teur and was awarded the gold watch fob, his 
score being 45x50. He was closely followed 
through all the shooting by Chester A. Glaspey, 
of this city, who broke 44x50.

Winchester shoot gun to 'be contested for over 
a period of about three months. This promises 
to be a fine contest for the remaining winter 
months. Membership in this club is now open to 
non-residents of the Hospital Reservation. The 
trapshooters of Las Animas are invited to come 
into our club and get in on this contest. All 
trapshooters in this,valley are cordially invited 
to join us in the Grand American sport, every 
Sunday morning at 10:00 sharp. We always 
shoot, rain, wind, snow or sunshine. The club 
has not missed a regular shoot since its organi¬ 
zation, and that is going some for any gun club.

NEWFOUNDLAND 
A Country of Fish and Game. A Paradise for the Camper and Angler. Ideal Canoe Trips. 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all kinds 
of Fish and Game. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon and Trout
