 ARMY JUDGMENTS
By PETER CARNEY.

The professional trapshooting ranks have been augmented during the past week by the addition of three high-cIass amateurs. The re- cent additions to the shooting sales men are John R. Jahn, former cham pion of Iowa, and incidentally a for mer holder of the Hercules All round Amateur championship tro- phy; George N. Fish, who for years has been nearly the throne in the New York state shoot, and Is the present holder of the Du Pont IS yards championship trophy, and E G. Ford, one of the best trapshots in the District Of Columbia.
 The annual review, including official .1918 trapshooting averages ,trapshoot- ing records and other statistics of the sport, issued by the American Trap shooting association, is now ready. This book is q welcome addition to any sportsman's library
 The Nontclair Gun club. a new Boston organization, has the right idea. Its traps will be open all day with a professional on the grounds to give instruction. just as the golf club professional does. The club will be conducted along the lines of the modern golf club. Cards will be placed in the hotels telling of the club, where it is located, etc, and every hotel clerk will be posted about the club. What Boston can do Philadelphia, New York, Chicago. Denver. San Francisco and other large cities can do. Everything de- bends upon the trapshooters them selves.

 Before the war Derby Day, on which the famous races were run. was a holiday in London and vicin- tty and everybody with the price went to Epson Downs, Parlia.- ment took a recess on the day of the race, and many business houses closed their doors.
