Southern Handicap Pump" Gun C. Steel lined Shells L. Lyon, of Dui* ^m, N.-G., the popular amateur, winner of the last Preliminary Grand American Handicap, recognized by amateurs and professionals as one of the most expert shots of the day, added another star to his crown by winning the Southern Handicap with a tie of 94 and 18 ex 20 targets on the shoot-off. His new Remington "Pump" Gun and U. M. C. steel lined shells were his winning combination. Wm. H. Heer, also shooting U. M. C. Shells and a Remington hammerless double gun, won the highest Professional Aver age at regular targets, with 292 ex 300 targets 9754 per cent. U. M. C. Shells in Remington Guns thus preached a convincing sermon. These two wins comprise the premier honors. The Southern Handicap event was the object of the tournament and it should not be confused with any subsidiary handicap win. The new Remington "Pump" handles fast and has the well-known Remington Pattern. It is the only gun of its type which is solid breech and hammerless. Trap grade is now ready. U. M. C. Shells need no comment. The next game to bag is the Grand American at Columbus. There©s time to secure the U. M. Co-Remington Combination.

When the number of different shells and guns used is considered, this is remarkable indeed, and shows plainly that the red W brand are the first choice among experts at the trap. And, as to winnings, look here : FIRST DAY: High Amateur Average won by Harry Kahler, scoring 146 out of 150, with Winchester Shotgun. PRELIMINARY HANDICAP: Won by A. S.
