STEEL LINED SHELLS 
A Steel Band Inside The Paper 
Pick up a U M C Steel Lined Shell and you are 
impressed with its beautiful finish. The brass, 
the tough specially waterproofed paper, the 
splendid workmanship, present a beautiful out= 
side appearance. 
And cut one open. Inside around the smoke¬ 
less powder you find a tough band of steel—the 
Steel Lining. That is a protection found in no other shell made in 
America. 
The Steel Lining costs you nothing but the safeguard of asking for 
U M C Steel Lined Shells. 
Your dealer will supply you—if not, please write us. 
UMC Steel Lined Shells won the 5 Blue 
Ribbon Shooting Handicaps of 1909.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
At its grounds at Manoa, Pa., the Eagle Gun Club will 
hold a holiday shoot on Jan. 1. An event at 10 birds 
and a miss-and-out will be the main features. 
* 
The Christmas shoot of the Belmont Gun Club, of 
Narberth, Pa., and also that of the Point Breeze track, 
Philadelphia, were postponed on account of the stormy 
winter weather. 
* 
The Meadow Springs Gun Club, of Philadelphia, will 
hold an all-day shoot on Jan. 1, open to all shooters. 
Turkeys and chickens will gladden the hearts and stom¬ 
achs of those who shoot best. 
The merchandise shoot was the main event of the 
Smith Gun Club’s Christmas Day shoot, Dec. 25, and the 
star performance of the day was associated therewith, 
namely, the full score, 75, made by Mr. P. Coffin, a 
handicap contestant. The weather conditions were un¬ 
favorable for good scores, nevertheless good scores were 
numerous. On Saturday of this week, the 1 program will 
consist of sweepstakes. A turkey luncheon will regale 
the visitors. 
Secretary William Fielis, Atglen, Pa., writes us as 
follows: “The Atglen Gun Club will give a merchan¬ 
dise shoot, Tuesday, Jan. 11, 1910; 100 targets, sliding 
handicap, entrance $3. The prizes run from three to 
twenty dollars in value. The shoot starts at 1 P. M. 
A big entry is expected.” 
Mr. C. A. Lockwood, of Jamaica, L. I., showed that 
years are no handicap in the use of a shotgun when a 
blizzard is in action, made a straight 25 in the contest 
for the committee prize on Dec. 25, thus having no need 
of the 5 allowance accorded him. Mr. M. Steiner won 
the Christmas Day cup with full scores in the main 
contest and the shoot-off, and 15 straight in the scratch 
event. Messrs. F. B. Stephenson and G. Brower tied on 
24 for the leg on the December cup. 
From “The Pinehurst Outlook” we clip the following: 
“Mr. Sousa was right, no doubt about that,” remarked 
Jack Fanning, the famous trapshot, at The Inn, Tuesday 
evening, “sportsmen everywhere are talking Pinehurst 
and the third annual Midwinter Handicap, scheduled for 
January 19, 20, 21 and 22. I hear it everywhere I go, and 
among the best class of sportsmen—just as I hear the 
country’s biggest shoots talked of during the summer 
season. You’ve got a big lead here, which is going to 
bear compound interest year after year, mark my word.” 
The recreation sports at Pinehurst are many. The 
dates allotted to trapshooting tournaments are as fol¬ 
lows: Jan. 19, 20, 21, 22, third annual Midwinter Handi¬ 
cap; Jan. 31 to March 28, weekly 100-target handicap 
tournament, gold medal for best scores made during the 
season. To pistol shooting: March 21-26, annual U. S. 
R. A. and Pinehurst championships; weekly handicaps 
at frequent intervals during the season.
