  HIGGINSON WINS AT AMATEUR SHOOTING; New York A.C. Gunner Captures National Championship at Travers Island. April 5, 1912 B.M. Higginson, Jr., a former Harvard gunner, wearing the colors of the New York A.C., won the seventh annual National championship at clay birds over the Travers Island traps of the New York A.C. yesterday. The winner made the wonderful score of 185 out of a possible 200 targets, breaking the previous record, held by former Champion H.W. Kahler, by 12 targets.

  nice photo.

• LWyman said:

  The caption card is wrong about the rifle. It looks like a Winchester Model 1897 shotgun:

• Kristi (LOC P&P) said:

  LWyman, You are correct! That is indeed a Winchester Model 1897 shotgun. We'll correct the caption when we update the record. Thanks for your comment.

  On Feb 21, 1914 there was a women's trap-shooting competition at Madison Square Garden. See NYT of Feb 1, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A0CEFDE1E39E633A... Could this have been associated with that event?
