JANUARY 21. 1920. PAGE 7 THE GREAT MID-WINTER AT ANNIE OAKLEY'S SHOOTING HANDICAP SHOOT IS ON SCHOOL. MRS. BARR MAKES A RECORD. AS WE GO to press the sound of gun fire comes from the Gun Club. There is no pause for Pinehurst. No sooner do the Advertisers abandon their assault on the golf links than the Trap Shooters be cri ii their attack on the Gun Club. Afu1 so it goes, all through the season, right up to the first of May; A number of the trapshooters who canie early took part in the weekly 100 target handicap event last Wednesday, January 14th. The first prize went to. T. A. Siebert, of the New York Athletic Club, who finished with a score of 95, 7-100. Frank S. Wright, the Buffalo expert, did the best shooting of the day and registered 98 actual breaks. He shot from scratch against the field. Others who broke 90 or better were Dr. A. II. Aber, of Draverburg, Pa., 93, 4-97 ; A. F. Healey, of Windsor, Ont., 90, 6-96, and F. G. Vance, of Tillsonbury, Ont., 90, 4-94. Next week we hope to give a full sum mary of the entire Midwinter Handicap. only see the dreaded bunkers from aloft, they'd lose all their terror5 for you, making you laugh at that hectic langu age used when last you tried twice thrice perhaps to get out of some es pecially deep one. For those bunkers are nothing' but funny little burned-out moon craters from up yonder, and not at all from that viewpoint worth the rage and sorrow they cause you on the links. "Up there one realizes fully how com parative is one's viewpoint after all. "Around and 'round we sailed look ing down, for the first time, on all man kind, who were mere specks moving about, with an occasional beetle-like auto crawling along the roads of the town. Arid speaking of autos, it's pos itively discouraging to see how slightly "John Henry" differs from a wonder ful Pierce-Arrow limousine from up there. I experienced no sensation of discom fort, no fear of dropping. In place of all that, there was a feeling of security and wonderful balance, with absolute confidence in the able pilot of the craft to bring me safely to mother-earth no matter what happened. "After fifteen minutes, or so, that seemed like only five, we circled over the lig field and glided gently to earth, taxied to our corner by the Dairy and our wonderful trip was ended. "But truly, friends, you've not seen Pinehurst until as a gem set in these Sand Hills, it sparkles at you from be low. It was .a rare treat, a soul-satisfying experience that one could repeat many times, each time seeing something iew and worth while, and withal, mak ing automobiles seem positively danger ous by comparison. It isn't scary. Not a bit. Take the word of a staid and nervous woman and try it. You'll won 'ler then why you hesitated." WHEN Mrs. Lawrence Barr, of Pitts burgh, Pa., made a score of 147 out of a possible 150 she not only carried off the prize for the week at the LADIES' SHOOTING CONTEST at THE GUN CLUB, but she established a high record for this season. A wise man, or woman, will give heed to these figures and do nothing to incur the wrath of such a crack shot, for if she gets behind her rifle and once gets a "beed" on you, you're a "gone gosling." The contests at the GUN CLUB seem to be matches between England and America. There are two English ex perts in our midst who are mighty handy on the trigger. They are Dr. Dorothy C. Smiley, of the Red Cross Women's Motor Corps, and Mrs. E. C. Carter. This week Dr. Smiley tied for second place with our own Mrs. L. F. Wan ner, and Mrs. Carter ran third with a score of 135. Last week the victor's laurels were placed on the brow of Mrs. Carter, and it was England 's day. Unusually Attractive LONG ISLAND COUNTRY HOUSE OFFERED FOR SUMMER SEASON On Unusual Terms.
