The Championship of New En at flying targets was won by Mr. E. 0. Griffith, of Pascoag, R. I., at the tournament of the Worcester Sportsmen's Association, held at Worcester, Mass., September 29th and 30th, his score being 95 out of 100. Two very considerable helps in winning this event were NCHESTER FACTORY LOADED AND A WINCHESTER which Mr. Griffith uses exclusively in all his shooting contests. He also won the Championship of Rhode Island on October 3rd, at Pawtuxet, R. I. These are only two of the many events that have been won recently with Winchester Factory Loaded Shells, among which may be mentioned the 3-days' tournament at Pekin, 111.. September 29th and 30th and October 1st, where Mr. W. II. Crosby held the high average for the three days and won the L. C. Smith Cup and Board ot Trade Diamond Badge; and Mr. Russell Klein won high amateur average for the three days and carried off the Parker gun. At this tournament the only shooters that "got into the money" were those using Winchester Factory Loaded Shells. The accounts of about all the important tournaments held for some time read very much like this, which would seem to indicate either that Winchester Factory Loaded Shells are better and more result-producing than other makes, or that the best shots use them or both. It is generally known that the best shots in the country use Winchester Factory Loaded Shells because they get results with them, and results are what they are looking for. If you are like them iu this respect, shoot Winchester Factory Loaded Shells and improve your shooting. They are : The Shells With the Corrugated Heads. Beware of Imitations.
