JULY 727287007. 

LOREST- AND) STREAM. 155 

Garfield Gun Club. 
Curcaco, Ill.—July 20 was an excellent day for trap- 
shooting, just enough wind to make a person feel com- 
fortable and not materially affect the targets. The scores 
are not as good as they ought to be, but keep improv- 
ing all the time. If the boys will only keep up practice 
they need not be afraid to compete with the best of them. 
The Class A trophy was won by Mr. George with 23 
out of 25, Class B by Mr. Thomas, 22. Class C by Mr. 
Jones with 19. 
The Dupont trophy was won by Mr. McDonald with 
23 out of 25. 
The Ballistite cup in Class A was won by Mr. W. 
Einfeldt with 13 out of 15. The Class B cup was won by 
Mr. Thomas with 14 out of 15, and the Class C cup was 
won by Mr. Jones with 9 out of 16.

West Virginia Gun Club. 
SISTERSVILLE, W. Va., July 20.—The new grounds of 
the West Virginia Gun Club of this place were, at our 
recent little shoot on the 16th, pronounced by our visit- 
ors to be equal to any grounds in the country. No one 
had a_ single objection, and we were: heartily compli- 
mented on all sides. Every target is thrown out into an 
absolute sky background, and it will be a common thing 
to see exceptionally high scores. The grounds are 
located on a little bluff back of town, about ten minutes’ 
walk from hotel, and almost surrounded with beautiful 
shade trees. The spot is an ideal one for a shooting 
range, and our visitors were heard to remark that’ they 
had never seen a more perfect location for a trap. Our 
third annual will be held on Sept. 17 and 18, with added 
money and prizes, at which time we hope to entertain 
as many shooters as we can handle with one trap. 
Further information as regards our programme will be 
announced later, but you may rest assured that we will 
do our utmost to please all.

The braiged metal trolling lines elsewhere advertised 
by the Metal Line Mfg. Co., of 1099 Dawson street, 
New York city, possess a number of advantages which 
must be obvious to every angler who practices trolling. 
It is said of them that they are made of the finest and 
most flexible metal braided into 16-strand smooth and 
non-kinking line, which must be strong. We have known 
in other years of these metal lines, and have heard them 
highly spoken of by anglers. They are for sale by the 
fishing tackle trade generally. 
The K, & K. minnow is an artificial substitute for 
live bait for bass, pike or muscalonge. The inventor says 
of it that it swims, dives and can be satisfactorily 
guided or steered around obstructions; in other words, 
it appears to be an artificial live bait, which of course is 
exactly what every bass or pike angler requires. It is 
said that when the cast is made, however the minnow 
strikes the water, it will at once right itself and will 
swim. The K. & K. Mfg. Co., Toledo, O., have pre- 
pared a booklet descriptive of the minnow, which will 
be sent to applicants, 
The name of Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. is familiar all 
over the land as makers of shotguns, rifles and revolvers, 
whose moderate prices and excellent workmanship have 
made them widely popular. Whether you want a little 
.22 for killing rats, sparrows and other vermin, or a 
shotgun to carry over the fields and into the. ducking 
blind, or a revolver for the protection of yourself and 
your property, the Hopkins & Allen Arms Co, can sup- 
ply it. They have issued a beautiful guide and cata- 
logue for 1907, which they offer to send free to all who 
will write for it. It is not only beautiful in execution, 
out it describes nearly forty varieties of firearms. In 
writing for it address the Hopkins & Allen Arms Co., 
Department 74, Norwich, Conn. 
For generations the great firm of E. I.,du Pont de 
Nemours has been making gunpowder in Delaware. 
The products of this great firm are used by gunners all 
ever America, and in many distant lands. The enormous 
improvements made in nitro powders in modern times 
have made these powders absolutely necessary, alike to 
the man who shoots quail and partridge on the upland 
and to him who lies in the battery or hides himself in the 
ducking marsh, It is especially to the trapshooter that 
this powder is useful; and by the trapshooter it is con- 
stantly used, and to him it is constantly growing more 
useful. The Dupont Co., in our advertising columns, 
call attention to some of the recent victories won with 
their powders,
