With the coming of warm weather
comes the old familiar talk Of trap
shooting and many of the boys have
been waiting for the time when they

second to none and enjoyed by every
lover of outdoor sport
The North Dakota State shoot will
be held at Fargo this year and will
be given under the auspices of the
Gate City Gun club on July 14-15,
1912.
/ The Gate City Gun club extends to
each and every shooter most cor
dial invitation to attend this shoot
and help make it the biggest, best and
most enjoyable event of its kind ever
held in this state The Squier Money
great success has been adopted for
! this tournament.
Under the Squier Money Back sys-
tenn the shooter not only has a chance
to win some money, but he is also
protected from losses and even though
he shoots through the entire pro-
gramme he cannot lose any more than
the price of his shells and targets.
Among the several important events
to be shot for at the state shoot are
| the amateur championship of North
Dakota; the two man team champion
! ship and the four-man team cham
pionship.
1t will be appropriate to mention
here that the old trophy which was
emblematic of the four-man team
| championship has been discarded and
in its stead there will be most
beautiful sterling silver trophy donat-
/ ed to the n. ID. S. A. by the e. l. Du-
/ pont Powder Co. of Wilmington, Del.
This trophy is an exact duplicate of
the one donated by the Dupont Pow
| der Co. to the Pennsylvania State
/ Sportsmans' association and one which
any team might well feel proud of
] winning.
The Gate City Gun club members
will do all in their power to make
this most enjoyable occasion for all
those who can arrange to, attend. They
have received from the Interstate as
sociation 800 and together with the
$50 added by the club will have d
most attractive programme.
There are a number of clubs which
contemplate holding a tournament this
season and the local club would like
very much to have them arrange their
dates so as to form circuit which
/ it is believed, would prove most bene-
fetal to all the clubs in point of at
/ tendance
