"Trapshooting r. the Patriotic
Sport" is tn title of book just OH
the presses of the Sportsman's Re-
view Company and written by Da-
vid II. Eaton, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
This is the first book published
about trapshooting. Consequently
there is a lot in the book to interest,"
those who have been shooting at the
traps or in the field. While the book
is not as complete as Mr.. Eaton wish
ed it, is is as good as he could turn
out with the material he was able to
gather. 1t fills a Iong-felt want in
trapdom.
Eaton delVes into the manufac-
ture of the various kinds of traps
and balls, includes some sketches OF
past-day shooters, and brings the
book and the sport down to the pres
ent time.
This book should pave the way
for many interesting pamphlets on
tEis fascinating sport.
More TrapshOoting Schools

made to trapshooting at the Atlantic
City school, and the belief is that
with schools at the leading seaside
