WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 26.— There was a small turnout on 

 Healdmoor range this afternoon. Two members of Troop B were 

 present and took part in the military badge match, which was 

 again won by J. W. Gejer. The menhers of Troon B used the 

 company's new carbines, which are very accurate shooting weap- 

 ons when in well trained hands, but as this was the first time 

 either member had shot at 200yds. with any rifle their low scores 

 are not surprising. The scores are as follows on standard Ameri- 

 can target at 200yds. out of possible 100 po nts:

R. H. Brientnall wins first with 19, second and third divided,

Tuesday morning was bright and clear, with a moderate wind 

 from the northwest, which during the day freshened up and hur- 

 ried the blue rocks at a pace that made it difficult to stop. The 

 shooters were early on the grounds to have a try at live birds. One 

 sweep was shot which resulted in ties; they were not shot off, as 

 the birds were poor, so we do not give the score. Better birds are 

 promised for the regular events. The attendance was somewhat 

 better than on Monday. Among the new comers were: F. W. 

 Cooper, Mahanoy City, Pa.: M. Fox, Kingston, N. J.; C. Thome,

 River, Mass.; E. Miller, Springfield, N. J.; R. Clayton, Luzerne, 

 Pa.; Wm. Cannon, the champion one arm shot of Newark. N. J.*,

 Y., aud Al Heritage, of the Jersey City Heights Gun Club. 



Few of the new-comers arrived until after noon, aud the regular 

 events were delayed until then, the morning being occupied with 

 a series of sweepstakes The scores in many of the regular events 

 are to count on merchandise, in addition to a division of the en- 

 trance monev or purse in each competition.
