ANOTHER WONDERFUL RECORD Mr- J- S- Da7© winner of the 1910 Amateur Trap Shooting Average by a percentage never equalled, established another and even more remarkable record. In his last 2100 targets, from August 8 to August 18,1910 (regulation targets at registered tournaments at Midland, Big Springs, Cisco, German and Walnut Springs, Texas), he lost but 34, scoring 2066, making an average never equalled or approached by an amateur, 98.38%. This is more than l/^% higher than the average of the winner of the 1910 High Professional honors at 2000 targets. Mr. Day bought his loads from dealers where tournaments were held, and they were regular PETERS factory goods—not special in any sense.

REMINGTON UMC -Steel Lined Shot Shells Most shooters prefer the shells that have won every Interstate Handicap for two years straight ! REMINGTON-UMC Arrow and Nitro Club shot shells are made with a steel lining around the powder charge. This steel lining gives added strength to the shell — makes it shoot better and hit harder. It saves the load from weakening in rainy weather by excluding all moisture. It's logical, isn't it, to expect shooters to prefer REMINGTON-UMC Steel Lined Shells and to insist upon getting them when this improvement doesn't cost any more ?

He won it several years ago with TflNCHfSTSIL Shells and Repeating Shotgun And no one has yet been able to wrest it from him. Mr. Elliott has always shot and continues to shoot Winchester guns and shells exclusively. There is in this a note of confidence which is illuminating. No shooter can expect to win any great success unless he has entire confidence in his gun and shells. Mr. Elliott©s work shows that Winchester guns and shells can be depended upon thoroughly. J. A.
