Pennell and Sheppard tied with 20 each. On the shoot- 
off, Sheppard won with 21 to Pennell’s 1G. 
Event No. 3 was for the A. H. Fox gun, 50 targets,

the fine score of 45 breaks. He is getting rounded into 
shape for the VVesty Hogans, when they come here in 
September. Young’s gun was out of order, or he would 
have made a better showing. On the last shoot for the 
gun, he powdered 4G. 
Huber seems to be off. He must need more practice.

June 8.—The first registered shoot of our club was 
successfully run off to-day. A large gallery was in at¬ 
tendance, including a number of ladies. We had ideal 
weather, and the targets loomed up fine in a perfect 
background. German carried off professional honors, 
while Young was high for the amateurs. Lunch was 
served on the grounds and the boys all worked to 
make it pleasant for all. Our traps are right on the 
great automobile boulevard and automobiles keep 
spinning by at a sixty-mile clip. These grounds would 
be just the place for the Grand Eastern Handicap and 
the State shoot. We are going to keep to the front, and 
as Atlantic City leads as the greatest seashore resort, 
why should it not in trapshooting? We have the Westy 
Hogan annually, which shows how the professionals re¬ 
gard our resort.

New H&ven Gun Club. 
New Haven, Conn., June 19. —The weather was ideal 
and some fine scores were made. Event 1 was the 
regular club team race, Capt. Smith and Capt. Mack. 
The first twelve men shot on Smith’s team and the 
second twelve on Mack’s. Mack’s team won. 
Event 2, was the last leg of the race for the president’s 
cup. Event 3 was the beginning of the shoot-off of the 
survivors. The shoot-off will be continued at the next 
shoot. Four contestants remain for the cup—Kelly, Net- 
tleton, Thompson and Minor. In the drawing for the 
prize for the team race Mack was the lucky man, and 
drew the prize; 1900 targets were thrown. 
Great interest is taken in the cup race, and it is ex¬ 
pected that the shoot-off will be continued for some 
time, as the four remaining contestants have big handi¬ 
caps.

THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing, 
tournament casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates not at all. 
He tells “the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes re¬ 
sults certain. All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; to 
tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament fly-rods. 
Complete specifications of well known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indispen¬ 
sable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain every 
feature of the text. Postpaid, $i.
