THE GORHAM CO., NEW YORK Gorham Sllierware Is to be ha4 in Plaeburst at “Tlit Jewelry Shop” “WESTERN” Steel=Locked Shells Always the Choice of the flan who Knows The sensational performances of “Western Field” Shells at the traps have opened the^eyes of thousands of shoot ers who never shot at a target thrown from a trap. And the same* exceptional shooting qualities which placed them at the head in trapshooting are making a big hit with, the man who hunts. Besides the higher velocity and closer pattern, which makes longer kills possible, “Western” Shells never “hang up” in magazine guns the Steel-Locked construction and the hard, tight crimp being responsible for a smoothness of action and reliabili ty in function that is impossible in shells having weak heads and mushy crimps. And in wettest wether “West ern” Shells will continue to work well for, to begin with they contain paper made from a special and superior pulp, added to which is a water-proofing material which, for effectiveness, has never been equalled by any other manufacturer in the world.

We don’t wonder why golfers in the vicinity of the Pinehurst Jockey Club on New Year’s Day gazed in amazement as troubled roars came screaming over the countryside from the multitude gathered to enjoy the Sport of Kings. On this sunny afternoon with the tem perature hovering around the seventy- five mark and a sea of brilliant colors lining the grandstand and track Mr. Fred B. Slireve announced as one of the specialities a potato contest, to be judge*I l)y Mr. Charles Picquet. Nancy Cope, a Pliiladolphia Miss of not many years, won the fancy and plaudits of the critics of this historic event by her un tiring efforts to carry off the prize. Surrounded by numerous associates and adventurers Mr. Picquet made known his decision to the gallery. It was his opinion that Miss Nancy Cope and Mr. C. J. Frost tied for first place, and it Avas at this stage of the game that pub lic opinion came into evidence in the most Bolsheviki style. To appease the tumult Mr. Shreve announced that the event would be contested again at the next meeting of the Jockey Club and thus ended the great potato race. Annie Oakley, ‘Miss F. S. Peters, Mr. A. R. Daniels and Mr. Pope Y'eatman were the other contestants in this event. It was a battle royal between two kings with the championship of the IMneliurst turf at stake. Carrying one luindred and forty-two pounds Algardi with Archibald up scored a close victory over Melos with Miles up in the Steeple chase. Taking the lead at the second jujiip and holding it every foot of the way the Red and White colors of the Taylor stables came home triumphant ly, the victor of one of the most stub born liurdle contests held this season. Clinging to the winner step by tep, up and over the bar in perfect rythm went Melos, but the challenge at the head of the stretch found him Avanting and Al gardi crossed the line a length to the fore. His Nibbs OAvned by Trotter started the NeAV Year very AA’ell. Not only did he start AA'ell, but it is the candid opin ion of his victims that he also ended Avell. With Archibald up, this son of Perezuzza entered the five and one-half furlong e\’ent to Avarm up for the one milt flat race. Wright, riding Molly O., an old Pinehurst favorite, took the rail pDsition on the jump Avith the thunder ing heels of the Trotter entry close be hind. In the rear came Joe Miller, Grace Mary O’Brien’s steady little run ner Avith Miles up and Lydonia ridden by Lasses. Well on the back stretch tliey rode in this order Avhen Ilis Nibbs must haA’e thouglit of home and oats for he astonished the gallery by making a spurt that brought him over the tape fully three lengths to the good, despite a sti'ong finish by the Nibl)’s entry. THE FiyEHVEST OUILOOK Four horses Rad been named for the one mile event and three of these went to the post. Puck being scratched. After his little frolic in the five one- half furlong race the redoubtable His Nibbs came forth again to battle and establish a new record by Avinning two races on the same afternoon. He did not leave his backers in doubt very long, for the long legged chestnut gelding shoAved a liking for the heavy track and had little difficulty in winning. Was- seon, oAvned by Mr. H. B. Swoope, with Miles up, was in the race for aAvhile, but ceased to be a contender after the half mile mark had been passed. The six furlong flat race was held up by Russian Pinion, owned by Nibb’s, Avho of late has been almost unmanage able, espev^ially at the post. After he had been tugged around for about ten minutes he was finally lined up and sent on his way. Mildred Euretta with Wright up got a good start and after a fcAV strides was out in fBont. Lasses, riding Uncle Sam, owned by Hayden Preston, started to use the lash on the first turn and the beginning of*the back stretch found both horses going helte- skelter neck and neck. Uncle Sam revelled in the heavy going and began to draw away from his company. Turning into the home stretch he made a further gain and crossed the line an easy win ner. Mildred Euretta, who was consid ered the favorite, ran a poor race, but won second position easily, while Rus sian Pinion was third. The tAvo harness events Avere badly run. Prince Pepper, Mr. Hyde’s black gelding broke several times in both heats of the Class B. race, Joe Hamilton winning Avith ease. The first heat of the Class A. race went to Little Bondsman, but the second n.Ms captured by Dolly Grey driven by Sheppard after some \^ery pretty driv ing. The other specialty of the afternoon, a douglinut contest, was won by Mr, C. .1. Frost. WHERE PAT WAS In a small' Village in Ireland the nioth(yi- of a soldier met the village priest, who asked her if she had had baa neAvs. “Sure, I have,” said she, “Pat lias been killed.” “Oh I am vc^y sorry, ’ ’ said the Driest. ‘ ‘ Did you receive word from the War Office?” “No,” she said. “I received word from himself.” The priest looked perplexed, and aid: “But how is that!” “Sure,” she said, “here is the letter; readmit for yourself.” The letter said; “Dear Mother: I am noAV in the Holy Land.”—The Argo- II a ut.
