Forest and Stream i» an Honorary Member of the Interstate A»»ociation for the Promotion of Trapshooting 
DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
I sympathize with those trap shooters who were 
stung at the roof shoot at the recent “Sportsmen’s 
Show. The consensus of opinion among those 
who took part was that “they’ll never go there 
any more.’’ I hope the unfortunates realize that 
Forest and Stream had nothing whatever to do 
with the shoot, other than to offer a silver cup— 
and we haven’t found out yet, who won it. 
J. H. Hendrickson won the “Long Island Resi¬ 
dents Shoot’’ at Neponsit. He smeared the am¬ 
bient atmosphere with the dust of 85 rocks. 
The National Amateur championship to be 
pulled at Travers Island on April 30 and May 1, 
shows indications of being the biggest yet held. 
This shoot is open to any amateur. Application 
should be made to G. J. Corbett, New York 
Athletic Club, Pelham Manor, N. Y. 
_ Because of the tremendous increase in adver¬ 
tising in this issue we are obliged to be stingy 
in the amount of trap news. Our advertisers in¬ 
sist on increasing their copy and a lot of new 
ones have found it almost impossible to do with¬ 
out us. It looks like we would have to add an¬ 
other form to the paper to keep in all the news 
and accept all the advertising that is coming 
along. You trapshooters interested in motors, 
fishing tackle and the like can help me a lot by 
patronizing advertisers in Forest and Stream —it 
will help us to keep on making the paper better. 
Officer! He’s out again, is B. Elsesser, who 
made Atlantic City famous. Here’s a note he 
wafts in about the Westy Hogans: 
Since their 1915 tournament has just been reg¬ 
istered by The Interstate Association, the Westy 
Hogans are planning an extensive publicity cam¬ 
paign into every part of the country. A meeting 
of the Tournament Committee will be called in 
the near future and the program for the big 
event in Atlantic City, during the week beginning 
September 13, will be discussed. The dates of the 
shoot are September 15, 16 and 17. True to Westy 
Hogan tradition, the members of this famous or¬ 
ganization, will have many surprises for their 
numerous friends and it is confidently predicted 
that all Westy Hogan attendance records will be 
smashed at the 1915 tournament. A better shoot 
than the one last year was never held anywhere. 
It will be a hard matter to excel it this year, 
but the Westy Hogans intend to attempt it. 
Sentiment still exists in Missouri. Gus Ichten- 
berg, secretary, Daniel Boone Gun Club writes- 
Success to Fred Gilbert, Du Pont Co. and Forest 
and Stream. For our share—thanks. 
The big shoot of the middle west will be pulled 
when the Iowa State shoot will be held under 
the auspices of the Cerro Gordo Gun Club, at 
Mason City, Tune 15 and 17. Last year 127 
crackers bought tickets to this shoot—this year 
So more will be there. Date up. 
. Speaking of Fred Gilbert. He has been shoot¬ 
ing a Parker Gun since 1899. He now has four 
from which he has shot 400,000 shots and the 
guns are as good as new. No wonder Fred likes 
his Parker.

REMINGTON 
UMC 
There were 40 different kinds 
of guns and shells used in 
State Trap Shooting Cham¬ 
pionship Events in 1914— 
Won 24 out of 39 State 
Championships 
If you entered a fast horse in 
39 events against 40 other 
possible winners and you 
won 24 out of the 39 events, 
you’d have just cause to be 
proud. 
That’s What Remington- 
UMC Did in 1914 
Shooters, we congratulate 
you. We wish to assist you 
through another successful 
season.
