The Cole—Clarke Shoot. 
In announcing their yearly event, the promoters say: 
“On June 17 next, at the Paleface shooting grounds, 
Wellington, Mass., the writers intend to hold their 1911 
trapshooting tournament, an event looked forward to in 
tins section as one of the season’s best shoots, probably 
due to the fact that our previous efforts have been most 
successful and enjoyable. This year we naturally wish 
to eclipse all former shoots in attendance, etc., and 
we are soliciting the aid of both shooters and sportsmen, 
feeling that the results will be of mutual advantage. One 
thing we wish to state relative to our shoot is the fact 
that it is not run for any monetary consideration on: our 
part, simply an effort of our own to boost the game 
and keep it in the front, where it belongs.”
