times as many enthusiastic clay-pigeon
shooters as there were live-pigeon shooters
when that form of the sport was in it's
heyday.
The clay pigeon it is no longer made
of clay; but of Il pitch and plaster compo-
sition) is shaped like an ordinary saucer,
and is about the same size. What would
be the under side of the saucer is the top
of the clay pigeon, and around the upper
part of the black surface is painted a ring
of bright yellow or white, according to
the make preferred This light coloring
is to make the "bird more easily seen.
They are thrown from the extended arm
of a metal trap. hidden from the shooter,
making it necessary for him to calculate
the speed and the angle quickly The
man or boy who handles the trap, not
seeing the shooter, tits the "birds at any
angle that happens to strike his fancy.
TO the person unfamiliar with the shot
gun it may be difficult to understand the
fascination of trying to break one of these
targets into cloud of dust before it gets
out of range or strikes the ground. 1t is
the same feeling that makes one want to
break those clay pipes with Il parlor rifle
ut II shooting gallery.
There can be no better proof of the per-
mancncr of this desire than the fact that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-04-25

there are today in the various States more
than five thousand gun clubs, with an
average membership of forty. Besides
these there are scores of little clubs not
listed in the different associations. In
nearly every village in America there are
a few men who go out and shoot at the
trap in the afternoons even if they have
no regularly organized club. The clay
pigeon is indeed the game bird of America!
Practically every athletic association has
trap shooting for one of it's side amuse-
ments. Even officers in the navy occa-
sionally indulge in the sport at sea. Many
of the battleships carry clay-pigeon traps.
Firing at the targets as they sail over the
water from rolling ship is said to be more
difficult and consequently more fascinat-
ing than shooting from solid ground.
As pointed out by Tom H. kellar, one
of the pioneer professional trap shots of
America, now at the pipe and slipper
age, the popularity of trap shooting is
due mainly to the fact that it is the only
outdoor sport, with the exception of golf,
that can be enjoyed by men not athletes
or who have passed the meridian of life.
IN trap-shooting contests the gunners are
usually arranged in squads of five, who
stand in slightly curved line about
thirty feet (this distance varies) from the
sunken traps, which are in the center and
hidden from view by IL cover. AT the cry
of "Pull!" the "bird" flies out across the

to worry. 1t was sport as dear to Ameri-
can gunners as pheasant shooting is to the
Englishman of today; but steps had been
taken to pass laws preventing it on the
ground of cruelty. Far-seeing men knew
that sooner or later this movement would
succeed.
That is what Ligowsky went home to
think about. And it was his thinking that
gave much to those who love the gun
He did not save live-pigeon shooting
that he knew to be impossible but he
found substitute that is equally fasci-
mating and, according to statistics, one
hundred times as popular.
George Ligowsky invented the clay
pigeon!
THOUGH the first effort was little
crude, the same general principle that
he discovered is embodied in the rapidly
thrown black, saucer-ike targets that
thousands are now firing at with shotguns
every day in the week
On Thanksgiving Day there will be two
hundred thousand men in the United
States-yes, and many women too-en-
gagged in trap shooting for trophies, med
ais, and cash prizes. There were nearly as
many as this on the firing line the Fourth
of last July. There are now ii hundred

The Bl00dless Game Bird

MERE are two hundred thousand
sportsmen in the United States
who will take twenty million shots
- at their favorite bird next Saturday
or any other Saturday. These gunners
use twelve-gage shells, and in everyone of
them there is four-ton pressure to the
square inch at the time of explosion. But
it isn't the power that eXcites the gunner:
it is the little puff of black dust, indicating
that his load of chilled shot has struck this
unthinking, inanimate game bird amid
ships.
1t has been thirty years since George
Lorillard, Carol Livingston, Perry Bel
mont and party of sportsmen dropped
into tent show one afternoon to see
Captain A. II. Bogardus, the greatest
marksman of his day, lift rife to his
shoulder and break in rapid succession
fifty glass balls thrown high in the air.
That was considered remarkable per-
Torrance.
George Ligowsky of Cincinnati was
among those who went to see Captain
Bogardus. A week or so before he had
watched with equal interest the wonderful
shooting of Ira Paine. Owe got the idea
now for saving our sport, Ligowsky re-
marked enthusiastically
The sport he referred to was trap shoot
ing. At that time the shooting of live
domestic pigeons by the thousands was
already being frowned upon in some
quarters, and sportsmen were beginning

about her. She screamed and started to
free herself.
"Sir!" she began to say Indignantly.
"Release met" and ended, sob, Arthur

struggle against the encircing arms.
Arthur released her penitently in Il
moment. "Forgive me, DEAREST" he said

as ever, and had been longing so to see
you! Fanny, with Il start of surprise; for
Fanny was staying contentedly where she

She smiled up at him with susnciously
bright eyes. "Don't dare to apologize
Sir" she said. Then her pretty face grew
serious. "I-I didn't learn how much you
were to me till you went away, Arthur"
she said. And that was all the tragic
scene there ever was
Arthur caught her close to him again,
this time without any apology at all.

one of the other men-but that seemed
hard to do. Well, sufficient unto the day
was the evil thereof. She sat down and
wrote another very nice letter to Arthur.
FANNY expected Arthur back about the
middle of September from what he had
written, bronzed and bearded. 1t was the
correct thing then to bring back beard,
a stereoscope full of views and coat of
tan from foreign parts, if you We're a man.
Fanny lay in her chaise tongue on Septem-
Der second and remembered that her
tragic scene with poor Arthur was only
two weeks off. She rather dreaded it.
And she felt a little pensive, lying there
among her ruffies and thinking of Lake
Lucerne and the Bridge of Signs, and her
wickedness in deceivng such trusting
and devoted gentleman so cruelty.
And as she lay and thought with her
eyes shut she felt an impetuous hand on
her shoulder, a soft beard brushing her

lovingly. "Ah, Fanny dear, |

me till you gave me that!
Then | almost knew; for any
one with such a sweet, true
heart as yours would never
give away ii lock of hair unless
she knew that she would give

Fanny Grey looked at the
Iocket, where little Donald's
hair was coiled, innocent and
yellow as Il child's hair may
be. Then she looked at Ar
thur, innocent as a man may
be also. Then she thought
about contrasting
But one doesn't obtain the
degree of Sad Flirt by consent

knowing n good deal of human

for II moment. Then she
raised herself on tiptoe and
kissed her Arthur.
"Put that locket back on
your watch chain, Sir" was
all she said; but she said it
adorably. "You don't know
any such thing about met"
And Arthur Grey wore the
little gold curl to his dying day.

cried.

why, I'll see!" And she began to plan

Also, if she did not love him, her actions
for the next forty years were one long de-
ception.
They had been married two years be-
fore Fanny's conscience worried her again
about the little gold curl that swung in a
locket from Arthur's watch chain. When
it did worry her she and her husband
were standing on each side of the cradle
admiring the baby very much.
Sand his hair" said Arthur as a crown
ing note of admiration, "his hair, my dar-
ling, is going to be just the color of yours
in little while"
He slipped the locket from the catch
on his watch chain and held it near the
rosy, sleeping baby's yellow head.

She was the belle beyond parallel of all

preparations for grand lawn party she
had been engineering, and retired to her
room to learn her letter by heart.
1t was very, very long. 1t was full of
descriptions of French, Venetian, and

left him. Fanny read the letter
over twice more. Yes, on the
whole quite a satisfactory let
ter! She sat down just as she
was in her white morning wrap
per with its crisp, huted ruffles,
and answered him at length.
(She did not send the missive,
naturally, till a decorous in
terval had elapsed.) After that
she felt more like going on with
her organization of picnics and
the belleship of the resort.
There continued to be let

from sadness to the old i'm
petuous ardor, from "My Dear

that to Dearest Fanny being an
easy one-it is not surprising
that Arthur Grey's audacious
pen took it. And all the while
Fanny's guilty feeling pre-
vented her from objecting to
any of these changes. When
he came back, she explained to
herself, she would straighten
all that out. 1t might make
a tragic scene; but she would
have to do it. And perhaps if
she had accepted somebody
else by then it might help.
