Arrow and Nitro Club Shells 
“ For Every Make and Type of Gun” 
Some shooters are fussy about guns—strongly preju¬ 
diced for some particular make or type for each kind of 
shooting. The selection of shells is limited to fewer makes 
and the Steel Lined Quality Shells are limited to U. M. C. 
make. That’s the reason so many carloads of shells leave 
the U. M. C. factory each day—they are made for and 
tested in every make and type of gun, and sportsmen 
prefer them. One enthusiast remarked, "I use a Reming¬ 
ton Pump at the trap, a Remington Autoloader for ducks 
and a Remington Double Gun for bird shooting. I use 
U. M. C. Shells in all. They never stick or jam in working 
through the magazine of either Pump or Autoloader.”

The contest for the English Hotel cup is at an end. 
Parry scored his third win for it, at the shoot of the 
Indianapolis Gun Club, on Dec. 12. Shooting from 20yds., 
he tied on 45 out of 50, with Wise, who shot from 18yds. 
In the shoot-off Parry won, 20 to 17 out of 25 targets.

We learn from the Philadelphia Inquirer that the shoot 
off for the gun, which was a prize contested for at the 
shoot of the Salem, N. J., Gun Club, Nov. 12, was de¬ 
cided on Saturday of last week. At the tournament of 
Nov. 12, Messrs. Warren Risner, of Pennsgrove, N. J., 
and Mr. Charles Newcomb, of Philadelphia, tied for the 
gun. When called to shoot off the tie, Mr. Newcomb 
had departed for home. Mr. Risner held that the gun 
was his by default. The club held a different opinion. 
At the shoot-off on Dec. 12, Mr. Risner was absent. Mr. 
Newcomb had a walkover, and the gun was awarded to 
him. It is difficult to understand how the club justifies 
its position in the matter, if the newspaper version is true. 
The Ossining Gun Club five-man team was victorious 
oven the five-man team of the Tuckahoe, N. Y., Gun 
Club, on Saturday of last week. Each man shot at 50 
targets. The totals were: Ossining 189, Tuckahoe 169. 
The contest took place on the grounds of the latter. 
The return match will take place at Ossining in January.

Of the twelve contestants in the event for the December 
cup, at the shoot of the Crescent Athletic Club, at Bay 
Ridge, Dec. 12, Mr. M. Stiner was high with a total of 
23. Several of the members were in attendance at the 
New York Athletic Club shoot at Travers Island to 
secure some practice in view of the championship con¬ 
test held this week. 
Mr. Edward Banks, of the E. I. Du Pont de Nemours 
Powder Co., Wilmington, Del., has been appointed man¬ 
ager of the advertising division of the sporting powder 
division. Mr. J. T. Skelly retains the managership of 
the sporting powder division. Mr. Banks s long and 
successful experience insures that the advertising de¬ 
partment will be conducted with its well-known efficiency. 
The team contest, ten men on a side, between the 
Alert Gun Club, of Phillipsburg, N. J., and the Moun¬ 
tain View Gun Club, of Pen Argyle, Pa., was shot on 
the grounds of the latter, and was the feature of the 
annual tournament, it being held in conjunction there¬ 
with. The Alert team won. Contestants and scores at
