Hercules Gun Club. 
Temple, Pa.—A very heavy snowstorm arrived 
during the night of the 11th, continuing up to 10 o’clock 
A. M., which prevented many shooters from attending 
this tournament. However, twelve shooters faced the 
trap. The program had called for 150 targets, but on 
account of the weather conditions it was cut down to 
75 per man. 
Lewis showed exceptional ability to-day exceeding his 
former scores at our traps. 
J. W. Rohrer was high gun, breaking 67 out of the 
75, leading Lee Wertz by but one target. 
G. E. Brown and Geo. Cooper represented the Bryden 
Gun Club, of Catasauqua, Pa. Mr. Cooper led Mr. 
Brown by one target, breaking 43 out of the 75 targets. 
President Brown quickly introduced himself to all shoot¬ 
ers present and extended a cordial return. 
Mr. Cooper, also a jolly good fellow, extended kind 
invitations, and expressed his thanks of the courteous 
treatment, and stated that the same shall be returned 
whenever the Hercules members come to the Bryden 
tournament. 
Representative Sked stopped off from a business trip 
from Philadelphia, using a borrowed gun, which ac¬ 
counts for the deficiency in his scores. Mr. Sked broke 
144 out of 150 at Catasauqua, Pa., on Jan. 7; so you see 
that there must have been something wrong. 
No time or expense will be spared by the Hercules in 
making their registered tournament on May 5 one of the 
best events of the year. 
The following officers were unimously elected to serve 
for the ensuing year: President, W. L. Rothermel; Vice- 
President, Lee Wertz; Secretary, A. K. Ludwig; Treas¬ 
urer, W. B. Brumer; Field Captain, J. W. Rahn. Three 
of the members ^ were fined for non-attendance during 
the past year. The records of the year show great ad¬ 
vancement of the club.

The Interborough Gun Club. 
Roselle Park, N. J.—A shoot on Lincoln’s Birthday, 
Feb. 12, had totals as appended. 
The new club house, which was built recently, was 
completed, and a majority of the members were out in 
the afternoon. The day was a bad one for the clay 
birds. The wind was blowing a gale, and that accounts 
for the bad scores:

—in the attic or cellar, or right in your apartment if room ar¬ 
rangement permits—is entirely practical with a home-made 
bullet catcher and the new 
Model 25 272ar/in Repeater—.22 short or C. B. caps 
This is a perfect Marlin repeating rifle that shoots 15 .22 short or 18 C. B caps at one 
loading. Its take-down construction and trombone action are popular and desirable 
features ; the side ejection favors rapid, accurate firing ; the removable side-plate makes 
it especially easy to keep clean and serviceable. 
The C. B. caps are entirely accurate 
and satisfactory in this short range 
work, yet they are the cheapest form 
of reliable ammunition made. 
With .22 short cartridges it is very 
accurate and powerful enough for 
all small game shooting up to 50 
yards. 
The price of this excellent new model is surprisingly low—send a postal today for circular 
with large illustration and full description. Complete catalog for three stamps postage.
