SHotgun Perfection Reached 
The Hunter One-Trigger, now attached on order to all Smith Hammerless Guns, is the 
greatest shotgun achievement in fifty years. Sportsmen have waited years for a PRACTICAL 
ONE-TRIGGER GUN—and now they have it in 
SMITH GUNS 
Hunter One-Trigger 
The Hunter One-Trigger pulls both barrels without the possibility of balking or 
doubling. It never hangs or “creeps”—its action is quick and clean. It greatly increases 
the effectiveness of the second barrel, insuring a surer, quicker, better shot. 
There is already an enormous demand for the new 20 Gauge Smith Gun—weight 5 % 
to 7 lbs., and a little beauty. If you do not know about it, be sure and write.

DuPont Long Run Trophies. 
Those readers of Forest and Stream who follow the 
trap shooting notes and the advertisements which have 
been appearing in this publication from time, to time, 
have no doubt noticed that more than usual prominence 
has been made of the “long runs” of 100 straight or 
better at clay targets during the year past. 
Certainly a shooter who makes 100 consecutive breaks 
or better deserves hearty congratulations, and, if trap¬ 
shooting honors are due to any one they are due the 
“century” shooter. 
In this connection all trapshooters will be interested in 
a special “long run trophy” which the Du Pont Company 
intends to use during 1910. 
The general rules governing these trophies, which, 
by the way, are open to amateurs and professionals, are 
along the following lines: 
An amateur, to obtain the trophy, must break at Jeast 
100 targets straight; a professional at least 125 straight. 
No scores made in “extra” or “practice” events to be 
counted; only scores in the program events in reg¬ 
istered tournaments to count, and naturally only when 
Du Pont powders are used by the contestants. The runs 
to count must be made during one shoot. In a two or 
three day tournament a contestant may carry forward 
from the preceding day any unfinished run he may have, 
and should he succeed in increasing his run to 100 or 
better, in case of amateur, or 125 in case of professional, 
such run will be counted. 
These trophies are understood to represent recognition 
for long runs on single targets, and scores made in 
other program events, such as doubles, will not be 
counted as affecting the run. _ If, however, the shooter 
making the run breaks all of his double targets they will 
be adedd to his previous score on singles. 
In order to have scores recognized, it will be necessary 
for the secretary or other officer of the club holding the 
tournament or one of the Du Pont representatives, to 
attest same. 
The trophy itself is to be a medal or badge made of 
solid gold, having as its design the head of a buffalo in 
bas relief; on the reverse will be engraved the name of 
the winner. Attached to this will be a gold bar indi¬ 
cating that a “long run” has been made, and engraved 
on the bar will be the score and place where made. For 
each additional run of 100, in the case of amateurs, and 
125 for professionals, an additional bar will be engraved 
and sent to the winner. 
The long run trophy with the century bars is not a 
new idea, it having been used years ago by wheelmen, 
and similar trophies are now being used by riflemen, but 
the application to trapshooting is decidedly an innovation. 
It is rather interesting to know that the expert shoot¬ 
ers representing the Du Pont Company itself will be 
eligible to win these long run trophies. 
New York Slate Shoot. 
Ossining, N. Y.. Jan. 22.—We note that you have 
included the 1910 State shoot among your trapshooting 
fixtures pf the future, and we are asking you to please 
include in the notice that it is the fifty-second annual 
tournament of the New York State Sportsman’s Asso¬ 
ciation. 
President H. W. Smith, of Syracuse, has made the 
following committee appointments: 
Handicap Committee: L. H. Schortemeier. New York 
city. Chairman; C. L. Frantz, Seneca Falls; E. A. Wads¬ 
worth, Wolcott; H. H. Valentine, Albany; Edw. Cox, 
Buffalo. 
Tournament Committee: Jos. Knapp. Auburn, Chair¬ 
man: G. B. Hubbell, Ossining; A. E. Conley, Cohocton; 
W. E. Hookway, Syracuse; T. H. Hendrickson, Jamaica, 
L. I.; W. E. Corfield, Utica.’ 
We think it is a recognized fact among the shooting 
fraternity that the annual New York State shoot is sec¬ 
ond only to the G. A. H. in importance and size, among 
shoots held each year in the United States. The man¬ 
ufacturers of guns recognize this, and each year donate 
a high grade gun for the great merchandise event. The 
following guns have been promised for June, 1910: 
Parker, A. H. Fox, Winchester, L. C. Smith, Beming- 
ton, Lefever, Stevens, Sauer by Schoverling, Daly & 
Gales, Ithaca and Baker. 
We have also a large assortment of other prizes prom¬ 
ised by sporting goods dealers. The Squier money-back 
system is employed at our annual shoots so that the only 
profits accruing for the Association are from the mer¬ 
chandise event. We had over 150 shooters last year, 
and we are confidently expecting a large number this 
year. . _ , 
The Association is running their own shoot for the first 
time in their history, and they will put forth their best 
endeavors, to give all .visiting shooters a square deal and 
a good time. This is firing the first gun for the 1910 
campaign, and we hope from now on, to keep it well in 
the public eye. 
I thank you for many past courtesies on behalf on the 
Association. Chas. G. Blandford, Sec’y-Treas. 
U. S. R. A. Association. 
The tenth annual meeting of the United States Re¬ 
volver Association was held on Tan. 17, Seventy-first 
Regiment Armory, New York. The Treasurer’s report 
showed $5.04.91 cash on hand, also a supply of com¬ 
petition medals to the value of $100 and a supply of 
score cards for the current year. 
Officers were elected as follows: President, J. B. 
Crabtree, Springfield, Mass.; Vice-President. R. M. 
Merrill, Oakland, Cal.; Secretary-Treasurer, Charles S. 
Axtell, Springfield, Mass; Executive Committee, H. H. 
Savre, New York; C. C. Crossman, St. Louis. 
The executive committee was instructed to take up the 
matter of organizing an outdoor league. It was carried 
that the pocket revolver championship be made a State 
championship match, provided that there were five or 
more entries from any State. The executive committee 
was instructed to have the medals struck and the awards 
made for first place of the indoor championship, because 
of the omission of the award due to a temporary change 
in the rules in 1904. The indoor championship matches 
of 1910 were fixed to be held on March 20-27.
