In the Sun the following was recently published: "William P. 
Shattuck, of Minneapolis, who is stopping at the Holland House, 
and who is an exhibitor at the automobile show in Madison 
Square Garden, went to the Tenderloin police station about 10 
o'clock last night and reported that a fur coat, made of muskrat 
skins, which he valued very highly on account of its associations, 
had been stolen from his booth in the Garden. He told the 
police that there were about 100 skins in the coat, and that his 
wife shot every one of the muskrats on a trip which she made 
with him in an automobile a year ago through Minnesota and 
South Dakota. His wife, he said, was a crack rifle shot, having 
won the Grand American Handicap shoot at Oakwood five years 
ago. She was, he said, the only woman who ever won this shoot. 
The police promised they would look for the coat, and if they 
hadn't found it before Mr. Shattuck left New York, that they 
\,ould notify him in Washington, where he is going to consult 
with the Secretary of War in regard to a device to enable, soldiers 
to shoot at night just as well as they can in the daytime." 
A correspondent writes us that "the first annual spring tourna- 
ment of the Delaware State Trapshooters' League will be held on 
the grounds of the Wilmington Gun Club on April 12-13. The 
first day will be devoted to open sweeps, everybody welcome, 
manufacturers' representatives, of course, shooting for targets 
only. The second day's programme will consist of several open 
sweepstake events, and will also include the State team cham- 
pionship at 50 targets per man, and the individual State cham- 
pionship at 100 targets, these events being shot off in series of 25 
targets each, with optional sweeps open to all amateurs, whether 
residents of the State of Delaware or not. The Wilmington Gun 
Club may issue in the near future a challenge to any club to 
shoot a team race under the following conditions: Five-man 
teams, 50 targets per man, the total weight of the team to be not 
less than 1,500 pounds avoirdupois. The Wilmington Gun Club 
can produce such a team, the well-known Harry Hartlove being 
captain, although he is the baby of the bunch, weighing only 
265 pounds." This Pee-Wee team match, on the terms above set 
forth, would be of special interest in itself, but the members 
would confer incalculable benefit if they would divulge to the 
public the menu of their training table. 
At Gofgas ^tatiofl, fa., }na, '2i, the iiiyiiatioii sluM of th« 
Highland Gun Club was held . Thitty shooters were pres- 
ent, the Florists, Olney Field Club, Highland, Hillside, S. S. 
White, and other clubs being well represented. Twelve of the 
sixteen programme events were shot off. A number of valuable 
merchandise prizes were objects of competition,
