[March 5, 1910. 
A DOVBLE VICTORY! 
It is not often that a Shotgun Tournament and a Rifle Tournament are given in the same 
city on the same day, but that is what happened at Columbus, Ohio, February 22-23. And 
it is a very significant fact that in each of these two tournaments, victory came to users of 
— PETERS —

Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 19.—The shoot to-day was a 
handicap of 15 live birds, for the H. Allen cup, en¬ 
trance fee $10. Upson and McFadden tied with 15 kills 
each. In the shoot-off at 3 birds, McFadden let the 
first two get away, allowing Upson to win first prize, 
the cup and $30. McFadden took second money, $40. 
It took some shooting to win third money, $20, as 
Knapp, Stofford, Allen and Biddle tied and agreed to 
shoot off miss-and-out. Knapp dropped out first with a 
kill and a miss. Stofford did the same thing on his 
fourth bird. Allen missed his seventh and Biddle killed. 
There was quite some betting on the result. 
The grand stand was well filled with visitors and 
friends. Mrs. Sherman has taken up live bird shoot¬ 
ing, and visits the gun club every morning. Mr. J. P. 
Knapp has been elected chairman of the handicap com¬ 
mittee. W. A. H. Stofford acted as referee.

Feb. 21.—Three matches were shot at the gun club 
to-day. In the first, a( 10-bird handicap, the following 
scores were made: 
Ffutchinson, 29. 7 Christian, 27 . 8 
Livingston, 29 . 7 Crosby, 27 . 9 
Crosby won, killing straight up to his eighth bird, 
which was a straightaway right along the ground. 
The second event was a 100-bird match between Upson 
and Stofford for a $1,000 plate and the birds. This was 
the closest match ever shot here. Upson, standing at 
32yds., won with 91 kills. He lost four dead out of 
bounds. 
Stofford, who stood at 27yds., killed 89. He shot in 
fine form, but was unfortunate and lost 10 birds out of 
bounds. He killed his last 22 birds straight, 19 of 
them with the first barrel. 
The birds were very fast, they being a picked lot, and 
were schooled for the past week for this match. There 
will be another match, date to be announced later, same 
conditions. 
The next event was a 15-bird handicap, Upson, stand¬ 
ing at 32yds., having one miss as a no bird. McFadden, 
who had just previous to the match killed 15 straight, 
won with 14 kills. Upson, using his handicap, killed 13. 
McFadden has the best average for kills at the club so 
far this season. 
There will be a handicap Wednesday for the Dennis 
A. LTpson trophy, value $109. 
Feb. 23.—The shoot to-day was a handicap at 15 birds, 
$10 entrance. McFadden, standing at 29yds., had a 
handicap of one miss as no bird. His fifth bird was a 
very strong incomer, which he missed. He killed 
straight from that to the finish. He was then called up 
to shoot his handicap bird, which he killed, making 15 
straight, and won the cup and $45, first prize. 
Henry, Count Szechenyi, Allen and Count Cziraky tied 
with one miss each, and in the shoot-off, miss-and-out, 
Henry and Cziraky tied with one kill each, dividing $90. 
The birds were very fast, and the attendance was the 
largest ever on hand at the gun club. Mr. W. A. H. 
Stofford acted as referee. There will be a handicap on 
next Saturday for the W. Carruthers cup. 
The cup to-day was presented., by Mr. Dennis A. 
Upson. The Duke of Manchester tried a string of 10 
birds and killed straight.

Feb. 24.—In a 25 live-bird event to-day the following 
scores were made: McFadden (29yds.) 21, Hutchison 
(27) 22, Carruthers (30) 21. 
Upson and Carruthers shot a 15-bird race, Upson win¬ 
ning with 15 kills to Carruthers’ 14. 
Upson shot 10 more with a straight score. 
Feb. 26.—By far the largest attendance ever on hand 
saw one of the closest contests ever witnessed at the 
Florida Gun Club to-day. Mr. J. P. Knapp, of New 
York, had to make a clean score to win. He shot fine, 
and although he missed a number of his birds with the 
first barrel, his second always dropped them inside the 
boundary. Mr. Henry made some very beautiful kills. 
He missed his 14th bird, which was a right-quartering 
driver, and although it was hit hard, it cleared the 
boundary fence and was lost. Knapp won the cup and 
$40, first prize. Mr. Biddle recovered after his second 
bird, and killed 13 straight—an excellent score. He took 
second money, $60. The tie for third money was shot 
off miss-and-out. Upson was up first and killed 2 and 
missed 1. The Duke of Manchester was up next and 
killed one and then missed. Henry was up third, and 
killed 3 straight and won. 
\Y. A. H. Stafford acted as referee. The cup to-day 
was presented by Mr. W. Carruthers, of Canada, and 
valued at $125.

Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., Feb. 25.—Good weather drew 
out quite a crowd to participate in the practice events, 
and considering the fact that the air was quite snappy, 
the scores were exceptionally good. 
Capt. Headley, who has not been with us much of 
late, finished up with a 24, and he also had a good 
average for the whole afternoon. 
Powers rather had the honors of the afternoon, and 
but for the first session up, his scores were surely 
worthy o'f special mention. 
Dr. YVestcott also had a bad start, but after getting 
warmed up he shot a good race. 
Cook is bothered with a new gun and a bad dose of 
flinching, which accounts for his average, which was 
rather below his regular work. 
Great preparations are going on for the Easter Mon¬ 
day shoot. The programs will be out in about ten days 
and will be mailed to any one interested upon receipt 
cf a postal. Let us hear from you. No doubt we will 
have a large attendance, as the Horse Show is to be 
here the week previous to Easter, and the Easter at the 
shore is something that no one should miss, and why 
not stav over and take in one of the best shoots of the 
>ear. 
The $300 cup to be shot for in connection with the 
State shoot in June will be on exhibition at J. E. Cald¬ 
well & Co.’s, Tenth and Chestnut streets, for two weeks, 
beginning March 1. Do not fail to see it, and once seen, 
one cannot help coming down to shoot for it. All the 
beach front hotels are putting up magnificent trophies to 
be shot for at that time, and we wish it understood that 
this will be a shoot for all, and no one should go 
away empty handed. The weekly scores:
