Meadow Springs Gun Club Tournament. 
Philadelphia, Pa., March 12.—The final target shoot 
of the season’s series arranged by the Meadow Springs 
(iun Club was held yesterday at Fifty-seventh and Lan¬ 
caster avenue, and attracted one of the largest crowds 
of gunners that has taken part in a club event on these 
grounds. Forty members participated in the main event 
at 100 targets, distance and target handicaps being 
awarded and five prizes offered. 
Excellent weather, with not a breath of wind, and fine, 
easy-sailing targets was a flattering incentive for every 
gunner to make high scores, and the majority certainly 
took quick advantage of old Dame Nature s pleasant 
mood and most perfect working of the traps. It re¬ 
quired mighty fine shooting to get up with the prize 
winners, for C. C. Beyer and Clegg finished the event 
with a score of SO out of their ICO. No targets were 
allowed these men. and Clegg had the advantage of one 
yard on Beyer. Overbaugh, with a score of 85, with no 
handicap, finished next, and Sloan and Garrett finished 
with 83, Garrett being allowed the liberal handicap of 
20 targets. 
It being too late to shoot off the ties, the prize win¬ 
ners were decided by tossing coins. Beyer was the 
lucky man for first prize, second going to Clegg. Over¬ 
baugh won third and Garrett won the toss with Sloan, 
the latter getting the consolation prize. Garrett led the 
members in the yearly series, with a score of 14 points, 
and won a gold watch fob. W. A. Murdock won a 
silver-trimmed cigar box, with 13 points. John Emerson’s 
11 points won a silver fob, and Sloan and Soley were 
presented with special prizes for their tie scores 10 
points. Following the shoot the club held its annual 
banquet. The scores: 
One hundred targets handicap, dead bird added han-

Gun Club. 
• 
Holmesburg Junction, Pa., March 12.—Honors were 
well divided at the monthly shoot of the Independent 
Gun Club yesterday at Holmesburg Junction, and from 
a large and classy turnout, those who earned the prizes 
had to go some. The main trophy was for high gross 
score in 100 targets, distance handicap and added birds, 
and it was well on toward dark before the winner was 
decided. When the totals were footed up it was found 
that Howard P. Wilson, Thomas Tansey, Plenry L. Ap¬ 
pleton and Howard George were tied with perfect scores. 
In the first shoot-off of 25 targets Wilson and Tansey 
were eliminated, they smashing 21 and 20 respectively, 
while George and Appleton again tied with 25, including 
their handicap. In the second shoot-off George won the 
trophy after a keen contest, and then only by reason of 
having the best handicap of added targets. The runner- 
up spoon resulted in a tie between J. IT. Anderson and 
Dr. W. J. Westcott, but the latter secured the prize, 
as Anderson had left the grounds. The spoon for high 
actual score was won by Thomas Tansey, who broke 
96, while the class dippers went to Joel Davis in Class 
A. with 90; Tesse Griffith in Class B, with SO, and 
S. Norris in Class C, who cracked 54. The scores:

CAST IRON MEDAL 
Elliott. 
He won 
The Historic 
Cast Iron Medal 
Th is emblem of the 
Live Bird Champion¬ 
ship of America is 
still held by J. A. R. 
it several years ago with 
Shells and Repeating Shotgun 
and no one has yet been able to wrest it 
from him. Mr. Elliott has always shot 
and continues to shoot Winchester guns 
and shells exclusively. There is in this 
a note of confidence which is illuminating. 
No shooter can expect to win 
any great success unless he 
has entire confidence in his gun 
and shells. Mr. Elliott’s work 
shows that Winchester guns 
and shells can be depended 
upon thoroughly.
