A SEASONABLE SUGGESTION 
Reming ton. .22 Repeater for Christmas 
“The Gift of Gifts” for the real boy. No gift could give the grown-up boy or the athletic 
grown-up girl more unique delight. Shooting affords an unlimited pleasure to the young man or 
young woman who revels in the great out-of-doors. 
Outdoors or indoors, the Remington .22 Repeater affords the most fascinating recreation. In winter, 
there is the fun of the indoor target shooting, and in the summer—on a vacation trip or day in the 
woods—it affords the keenest kind of pleasure. 
The Remington .22 Repeater is unquestionably the best repeater made—solid breech, hammerless, 
take-down, safe—it fully measures up to your idea of what a thoroughly up-to-the-minute rifle should 
be. It has buoyancy and balance and shoots .22 short, .22 long and .22 long rifle cartridges without 
adjustment. No possibility of accidental discharge because there is no hammer to catch on clothing, 
fence or branch. You clean the barrel from the breech—another Remington feature. 
Sold by all first class dealers. Do not accept a substitute. Communicate with us if your dealer does 
not carry U M C or Remington. 
UMC and Remington—the perfect shooting combination.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Secretary Maltby W. Conover writes us as follows: 
“I would like to inform you that the Freehold, N. J., 
Gun Club has selected the following dates for all-day 
tournaments: Dec. 29, 1910; in 1911, Jan. 26, Feb. 16, 
March 23, April 20.” 
In the two weeks ending Dec. 10, the Pacific In¬ 
dians was the only body to register a tournament with 
the Interstate Association. Dates, June 20-23; place, 
Eugene, Ore. 
Jacob Lewis, Secretary of the Jersey City Gun Club, 
writes us as follows: “We will hold our annual all¬ 
day turkey and chicken shoot- on Thursday, Dec. 22, 
commencing at 10 o’clock sharp. This will be a dis¬ 
tance handicap shoot, and the handicapping will be in 
charge of C. W Billings, L. W. Colquitt and G. N. 
Piercy. Come early, as the days are short. If pro¬ 
gram is finished in time, there will be sweepstake shoot¬ 
ing.” 
*» 
Chairman P. R. Robinson writes us as follows: “The 
amateur championship of America at clay birds, which 
for several years has been shot during December, is 
scheduled for next March. This was decided by the 
trapshooting committee of the New York Athletic Club, 
under whose auspices the event will be held, owing to 
the fact that many amateurs are hunting in the field 
during the winter months. The tentative dates are 
March 22 and 23, and an authoritative announcement 
will be made later.” 
SP. 
- Elliott Smitn died of heart disease at his home in 
Morristown, N. J., on Dec. 10, in his sixty-fifth yetfr. 
He was a member of the law firm of Elliott & F. 
Sidney Smith. He was born in New York city and 
there resided till about fifteen years ago, when he re¬ 
moved to Morristown. About a generation ago he was 
an active member of the Westminster Kennel Club, and 
also was actively interested in field sports, particularly 
field trials. He was identified in a business way with 
the manufacture of the American wood powder, known 
for a time as Dittmar powder. 
Among others things in its circular recently issued, the 
Big Four League states: “The organization will hereafter 
be known as the Big Four League, and Oklahoma and 
Nebraska are added to Missouri and Kansas. Our pur¬ 
poses are the protection of fish and game, and the pro¬ 
motion of shooting tournaments and good fellowship. 
A trophy will be given to the amateur and to the pro¬ 
fessional, respectively, securing the largest number of 
new members during the year 1911. A shooting tourna¬ 
ment of two days will be held in each of the four States 
of the League during the year. It was ordered that no 
bids of less than $100 per day added money should be 
considered for these shoots; $75 was set aside for high 
amateur averages for the year 1911, to be divided as 
follows: First, $25; second, $20; third, $15; fourth, $10; 
fifth, $5.”

The fourth midwinter handicap of the Pinehurst, N. C., 
Gun Club, to be held on Jan. 18-21, promises to be a 
gratifying success in every particular. The Squier 
money-back system will be a feature. The regular sweep- 
stakes will include ten 20 -target events on the first and 
second days and five 20 -target events on the forenoon 
of the third and fourth days, class shooting. There also 
will be an optional sweep, $2.50 entrance, on each of the 
first and second 100 of the first and second day’s pro¬ 
gram; one on the first 100 of the third and fourth day’s 
program, high guns. The Preliminary will be at 100 
targets, handicaps 16 to 23yds., high guns, $150 added; 
entrance $10. The main handicap is much the same as 
the preliminary, except the entrance is $20. The trophies 
include splendid sterling cups to the winners of both 
the handicap and the preliminary, a high average gold 
medal to the leader in the regular 16yd. events (600 
targets), silver medals for second and third, and a gold 
medal for the leader in the entire program of 800 targets. 
The professionals will shoot for a trophy to be awarded
