Miami Gun Club. 
Miami, Fla.— A rare" treat was given the people of 
Miami at the Miami Gun Club grounds on the 26th ult., 
by the well-known Winchester team, which is composed 
of the best trap and fancy shots of the country, members 
of the team being Mr. and Mrs. Ad. lopperwein and 
Mr. J. M. Hawkins. 
In the 100-bird contest, Mr. Hawkins came out winner 
with only one bird to the good over his lady rival, Mrs. 
Topperwein. Also gave her husband the opportunity to 
“up and take notice,” or get left in their fancy shooting 
exhibit, which was a very remarkable exhibition. Mrs. 
Topperwein docs some remarkable feats with both rifle 
and shotgun, and being the only lady marksman ever 
appearing in Miami, was very much appreciated indeed 
Mr. Topperwein did some fine work, which I will not 
describe for reason if you are a real good sportsman 
you have had them described in our leading sporting 
papers, which of course you read regularly. 
The following are the scores of the afternoon s shoot, 
with a heavy wind and very poor background, and shoot¬ 
ing at 100 targets:

Popularity and Winning Quality compose the keynote of 
Winchester Factory Loaded Shells. This was again demonstrated 
at the above big tournament, held on March 10-11-12, as more 
than twice as many shooters used them as any other make; and 
what naturally follows, they made most of the winnings: 
PRELIMINARY HANDICAP.— Won by John Martin, of Brook¬ 
lyn, with Winchester Shells; score, 87 x 100. 
FOX TROPHY FOR DOUBLES.— Won by W. J. Moffatt, with 
19 out of 20 breaks; M. Roser, second; John Martin, 
third; all using Winchester Shells. 
HANOVER CUP TROPHY.— Won by George N. Piercy, who 
scored 313 out of 380, with Winchester Shells. 
HIGH PROFESSIONAL AVERAGE —Made by Lester German, 
with Winchester Shells; score, 314 x 380. 
LIVE BIRD CHAMPIONSHIP.— Out of total purse of $570, 95% 
was won by shooters using Winchester Shells. 
Winchester Factory Loaded Shells, rf Leader” and Repeater, 
are certainly favorites with trap shooters — and they win, too.
