It was announced in February Magazines and we are already flooded with orders. 
It is the gun the boys have been looking for. 
No other gun is bolted as this gun is bolted. It has two lugs at top and one at bottom and is bolted at 
each of these three points—giving a triangular form of fastening which will stand the severe strain of 
trap shooting. It is equipped with our lightning lock, automatic ejector and ventilated rib. Built 
in twelve gauge in our No. 4E and better grades. 
Ask for our Catalog, it shows the One Barrel Trap Gun and describes 18 grades double guns. 
ITHACA GUN COMPANY, Box 25, ITHACA, N.Y, 
tion’s ipreseut intention to do all in iits power to urge 
and foster the formation of State associations and 
leagues of gun clubs in those States where none now 
exist. 
A State Association or a league of gun clubs, to 
secure recognition from The Interstate Association, must 
have a membership of five or more bona fide clubs 
located in five or more different cities or towns. 
The Interstate Association, at its discretion, may 
exact proof of the proper organization of any State as¬ 
sociation, or league of gun clubs, which 'applies for a 
registered tournament. 
Any club a member in good standing of a State asso¬ 
ciation or of a league of gun clubs in a State that has 
no State association may apply for registration. Ap¬ 
plications from clubs not members of a State associa¬ 
tion or of a league of gun clubs will not be considered. 
When a club applies for a two or more days tourna¬ 
ment, the granting of such application will depend on 
the attendance at and success of previous registered 
tournaments of said club, if any were held. The de¬ 
termination of whether it shall be a one day or two 
days’ tournament is at the discretion of The Interstate 
Association. 
Clubs located in States where there are no State as¬ 
sociations or leagues of gun clubs may register their 
tournaments under The Interstate Association’s old 
ipolicy. The Interstate Association makes no contribu¬ 
tion to tournaments registered under its old policy, but 
the scores made at such tournaments become a part of 
■the official averages for the year. 
Management. 
The management of The Interstate Association con¬ 
cedes to the management of any registered tournament 
The Interstate Association powers as set forth in Rule 
1, Section No'S. 1 and 2, of the Trap Shooting Rules, as 
revised in 1909, in respect to said registered tournament. 
The management of The Interstate Association has 
the authority and power to inquire into and deal with 
any matter relating to fraud in connection with any reg¬ 
istered tournament, and to bar any person or persons 
concerned in any fraudulent practices. 
A club holding a registered tournament must pay all 
moneys and prizes as announced therewith. Failing 
therein, amy club so offending will be disbarred till the 
default is cleared. 
The Interstate Association’s cash contribution will 
not be paid to any club until such time as such club, 
bolding a registered tournament, shall have sent in the 
requisite report of the tournament to The Interstate As¬ 
sociation. 
The Interstate Association’s cash contribution of $50.00 
t> the winner, or to the runner-up, of “The Interstate 
Association’s State Amateur _ Championship” at a State 
tournament, will not be paid until such time as 'the 
Grand American Handicap Tournament is held, and then 
only on the condition that said winner, or the runner- 
up, makes entry and competes in the “National Ama¬ 
teur 'Championship” event at the Grand American Handi¬ 
cap Tournament. 
A elub making application to hold a registered tourna¬ 
ment shall not include “Practice Day” in the dates reg¬ 
istered, as the scores made on said day shall not be 
counted in the yearly aveage. 
A club holding a registered tournament shall send a 
printed program of the tournament to the secretary of 
The Interstate Association at least 15 days before the 
opening date of the tournament. 
A club holding a registered tournament shall use The 
Interstate Association’s Trap Shooting Rules, as revised 
in 1909, and shall conduct the tournament strictly in 
accordance therewith.. It, therefore, must not change or 
modify the rule relating to shooting at a broken target. 
A olub which has been duly authorized to hold a reg¬ 
istered tournament shall give one page of its program, 
of which the copy will be furnished by The Interstate 
Association, for purpose of announcing the amount of 
The Interstate Association's contribution and for pur¬ 
pose of publicity. 
The Interstate Association respectfully suggests that 
the regular program for a registered tournament consists 
of not less than 150 targets nor more than 200 targets 
per day. 
If a olub holding a registered tournament defaults on 
its agreement in any particular, permission for further 
registered tournaments will not be granted. 
Miscellaneous Rules. 
Not more than two tournaments of any one club shall 
be registered in any one year. For the year 1915 a con¬ 
tribution will not be made to more than one tournament 
of any one club. 
No tournament shall be registered for a Sunday, only. 
A tournament which includes a Sunday may be reg¬ 
istered, but the scores made on weekdays only shall 
oount in the yealy averages. 
A club holding a registered tournament shall allow 
any contestant, who so desires, to shoot for “Targets 
Only” in any or all events. 
A club holding a registered tournament shall not 
charge more tha'n 2 cents for each target shot at, except 
■in the case of a club located in a section where freight 
rates are excessively high, thus making targets cost 
much more than they do .in the East, in which case such 
club may charge 2J4 cents or 3 cents per target, if it is 
customary to make such charge at tournaments. 
A club which has been duly authorized to hold a reg¬ 
istered tournament shall require contestants to give 
their names and -addresses on blanks furnished by The 
Interstate Association, and said blanks, FILLED OUT 
BY THE CONTESTANTS, shall be sent. to the secre¬ 
tary of The Interstate Association at the time the report 
of -the tournament is mailed. 
A club holding a registered tournament where shoot¬ 
ing names (assumed names) are allowed must forward 
to the secretary of The Interstate Association, with the 
other records, the real names of those using assumed 
names. 
With the exception of practice day, weather permit¬ 
ting, a tournament shall be started in the morning 
before 11 o’clock, and the time of starting shall be 
stated in the program. The hour shall be reasonably 
■governed -by the scheduled time of arrival of trains or 
trolleys ait the place where the tournament ‘is held. 
All scores shall be shot in competition, and no scores 
shall be recorded which are shot prior to the advertised 
hour for starting the competition. 
No contestant, whether amateur or professional, shall 
be allowed to “shoot ruip” any event or events other 
than events one, two and three scheduled for the first 
day of the tournament, on the first day, and this in 
no case unless the unanimous consent of the other 
contestants and the management are given. 
No contestant, whether amateur or -professional, shall 
be allowed to shoot any event or events in advance 
of the regular order of scheduled time for -the competi¬ 
tion as designated in the program. 
No contestant, whether amateur or professional, shall 
be allowed to shoot any event or events other than those 
of t-he one day’s -program except in case the entry list 
is so large, or unavoidable conditions such, that it is 
necessary to carry over a tournament from day to day. 
The scores of any event or events thus carried over 
shall be recorded as being made on the day for which 
said event or events were originally scheduled. 
Registration as herein set forth applies to United 
States clubs only. The old policy is still in force as 
to Canadian clubs. 
DU PONT GUN CLUB TROPHY SPOON IDEA 
FOR 1915 POPULAR. 
Innovation in the Way of a Trapshooting Trophy 
Meets With Instant Favor. 
An innovation in the way of a trapshooting 
trophy for gun clubs is provided in the DuPont 
1915 Gun ‘Club trophy 
spoon. Several weeks 
ago, the DuPont Co¬ 
announced that this 
year’s gun club 
trophy would be an 
especially and appro- 
priat-ely designed 
sterling silver tea¬ 
spoon manufactured 
by Tiffany & Co., of 
New York. Instant¬ 
ly the idea seemed to 
meet with general 
favor on the part of 
trapshooters, and 
many clubs have 
made application for 
a DuPont spoon for 
their clubs. 
One feature of the 
DuPont 1915 trophy 
proposition which is 
particularly pleasing 
is that an opportunity 
is offered any club 
to secure any number 
of these spoons that 
it desires. Every ac¬ 
tive and deserving 
club will be awarded 
one spoon, and they 
may purchase addi¬ 
tional ones at $1.50 
each, postpaid. Under 
this arrangement a 
club may, at nominal 
cost, secure an attrac¬ 
tive and useful sup¬ 
ply of trophies suffi¬ 
cient to last through 
the season, and which 
will, beyond any ques¬ 
tion of doubt make their club shoots more and 
more interesting to their members. 
A cut of the DuPont, 1915 Gun Club trophy 
is illustrated herewith and it surely comes up 
to the high DuPont standard of other years, and 
will, no doubt be immensely popular with the 
shooting fraternity. Gun Clubs desiring to se¬ 
cure these handsome trophies should write to T. 
E. Doremus, Manager, Sporting Powder Division, 
DuPont Co.» Wilmington, Delaware.

Owing to -the growing scarcity of game, and 
danger to life, the t-ime is fast approaching 
w-hen 'sportsmen will have to own their own 
preserves. This is an -unusual opportunity to 
secure, a-t -a low price, a very valuable piece of 
-property, especially suited to 'the uses of a hunt¬
