FOREST AND STREAM 
[Jan. i, 1910. 
The feature of the competition of the New York Ath¬ 
letic Club, at Travers Island, N. Y., Dec. 25, was the 
consecutive winnings of all the events by F. IT. Schauf- 
fler. He won the leg and the shoot-off for the final 
possession of the December cup, won the holiday cup 
after a shoot-off with Mr. G. E. Greiff, won a leg on the 
Westley-Richards gun, the De Wolfe cup, the Hall cup, 
and the Haslin cup. Mr. A. L. Burns was a visitor, 
and therefore was not eligible to compete in the special 
events.

The Rogers Springs, Tenn., Gun Club will hold a 
tournament on Jan. 15-17. Target and live bird events 
will be offered on the first two days, while on the third 
day a 25-bird event, $25 entrance, handicaps 28 to 32yds., 
class shooting, 50, 30 and 20 per cent., is the program. 
This shoot is sandwiched in between the trials of the 
United States Field Trial Club and the National cham¬ 
pionship. The Rogers Springs Fox Hunting Club will 
hold its trials commencing Jan. 24. For further in¬ 
formation address J. M. Avent, Hickory Valley, lenn.

The Newton, N. J., Gun Club has arranged to hold 
its second annual poultry shoot on New Year’s Day. 
The club sets forth that the competition will be run the 
same as that of last year to please numerous friends 
of the club, and that it is not a money-making scheme, 
the entries being made subject to the value of the 
poultry at actual cost with cost of targets added. Every 
fourth event will be consolation event. Winners of 
events are barred in subsequent events. The prizes 
will be ducks, turkeys, geese, pigs and chickens. Lunch 
will be served on the grounds.

The New York Athletic Club, in order to encourage 
beginners and shooters who are not as proficient as 
some of our experts, has arranged a “Junior” trophy 
shoot for the month of January. The conditions call 
for the increase of three extra handicaps to those who 
are regularly rated at five, and two extra handicaps for 
those who are rated at four. All other handicaps will 
remain the same as established by the committee on 
Jan. 1, so the chances are that a long handicap man will 
win. There will be two prizes, first and second, pre¬ 
sented by Mr. Geo. W. Kucliler. 
with pleasure that he will continue his interest in trap¬ 
shooting as an amateur as opportunity affords, and that 
his change of business will not affect his interest in the 
sport. When we voice our sincere wishes for Mr. 
Lewis’ success we are sure that we also voice like wishes 
from every one who knows him.

The trapshooting world of America, in a trade way, 
loses one of its brightest, most courteous and efficient 
members in the resignation of Mr. Seneca G. Lewis 
from the position of sales manager of the Winchester 
Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, Conn., a position he 
has held with conspicuous success during the past five 
years. Prior to that time he held the position of sales¬ 
man for the Winchester Co. Altogether he has been 
connected with the ammunition trade during nearly 
twenty years past. Within and without trade circles his 
manly character and conspicuous ability have made for 
him friends innumerable. His resignation takes place 
on Feb. 1. His successor is Mr. Frank G. Drew. Mr. 
Lewis’ withdrawal from the position of sales manager 
was due to his embarkation in another line of business, 
and therefore was for business reasons only. We learn 
T. R. Taylor, of Atlanta, Ga., and L. J. Squier, of Pitts¬ 
burg, were with us. They still know how to shoot. 
Most everybody got some kind of a fowl for Christmas. 
The way things look, we are going to have a nice 
crowd of shooters for our all-day shoot, Jan. 5, which is 
a handicap and 150 birds, with $10 entrance, four mon¬ 
eys, with a 1 cent target taken out. We also have the 
promise of the biggest team shoot that w || ® ver ®“? t » 
five men to- the team, 200 birds each man, $500 a t ear T 
West vs. East. We are not at liberty to name the 
teams yet. We will put up a suitable trophy for each 
man on the winning team. _ , 
A big team shoot in connection with our two-day mid¬ 
winter, with some nice average money and some nice 
nrizes to shoot for. Get old Betsy down and clean and 
oil her up for this big shoot. Get ready. Scores of
