elected President of the Asscciation, and the popular and 
skillful shooter, Mr. C. W. Budd, was re-elected Secre-

Two men, mighty in the annals of shooting, will be in 
attendance at several shoots in the East in the near 
future under the skillful pilotage of Mr. J. Mowell 
Hawkins, who has a genuine racing stride himself. One 
is Mr. Adolph Topperwein, of Texas, whose phenomenal 
skill with the rifle is known the world over. Small ob- 
jects thrown in the air are hit by him with the ease and 
precision that a turkey displays when eating corn. Mr. 
W. R. Crosby, one of the few who never loses his usual 
good form, comes with fresh laurels from the Iowa State 
shoot, where, in warm company, he won high general 
average. A feature of this great marksman’s doings in 
the trapshooting world is the sustained excellence of his 
shooting, year in and year out. He is one of the few 
who shoots well all the time. And withal he is modest 
and companionable. 
BERNARD WATERS. 
At DuPont Park. 
St. Louts, Mo., March 11.—An interesting match was 
pulled off Sunday, March 11, at Dupont Park, between 
Mr. Harlow Spencer, the well-known. St. Louis amateur, 
and Mr. F. E. Jacobs, also of St. Louis, though not so 
well known. 
The match was at i00 live birds for a side bet, and the 
price of the birds. 
Mr. Spencer shot from the 3lyd. mark, and Mr. Jacobs 
at 28. The scores do not look so very good, but when 
the quality of the birds, the Monte Carlo boundary, and 
the weather conditions are taken into consideration, the 
shooting was nearly high class. 
There were no sitters, and with very few exceptions, 
the birds were very fast. Mr. Harlow Spencer is about 
the best amateur shot in St. Louis, at both live birds and 
targets, and his-scores are always pretty well at the top. 
Mr. Jacobs has always given a good account of himself 
in short races, but had never attempted so long a route 
as 100 before. 
The shooting game has picked up a little in St. Louis, 
and we believe this year will bring out a number of new 
men, 
Mr. Charles Scullin is a coming pigeon shot, as he has 
all the necessary nerve, money ae physique, as well as 
plenty of enthusiasm. 
Mr. Scullin expects to head_an automobile party for the 
Missouri State shoot held in Kansas City, May 15. From 
the present outlook, there will be an even dozen shooters 
from St. Louis attend this tournament. Alec Mermod 
has arranged for a special car, leaving St. Louis the 
afternocn of May 14. Apply to him for rates, and engage 
your seats in plenty of time.
