McKeesport, Pa., March 11.— The opening shoot of the Enter- 
prise Gun Club was held at a time of high water. It seemed at 
first as if the shoot would have to be postponed, but by 3 o'clock 
the water had subsided sufficiently to allow the trapper to work 
with gum boots. 
Wesley Hale, a resident- of Munhall, and member of the club- 
here, was high man in the 50-target race and winner of the 
pointer pup. He made a score of 47 out of 50. The second

Wilmiugton Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del. — The Wilmington, Del., Gun Club is not let- ■ 
ting the grass grow under its feet, but is busy now getting its 
new grounds in shape for the first annual spring tournament of 
the Delaware State Trapshooters' League, which is to be held 
under its auspices on April 12-13, next. 
The new club house, 32 by 24 feet, including an 8ft. piazza the 
length of the building, is almost completed. The house for the 
trap is located to the right of the club house, the platform for 
the shooters coming up to the piazza. This platform is 45 by 15ft.,-, 
and will permit of handicaps of from 16 to 20yds. A fine grove 
of trees will afford shade to shooters on the platform and for 
spectators, something much to be desired when the summer sun 
is shining strongly. 
For the tournament a set of three expert traps will also be in- 
stalled . on the left of the club house. A capital background is 
assured from the fact that the grounds lie high. It will be hard 
to find excuses for misses on account of the background. The 
tournament itself ii for amateurs solely, manufacturers' agents 
shooting "for targets only." 
The list of merchandise prizes is a healthy one,, and the list la 
stil! growing. Programmes are ready for issuing, and a postal 
addrss.sed to H. J. Stidham, Secretary, 111 East Fourth street, 
Wilmington, Del., will secure one. The grounds are easily 
reached by cars of the Wilmington City Railway Company, either 
by the Front street cars, which run past the P. R. & W. R. R, de- 
pot every fifteen minutes, or by taking, from any of the depots, 
cars of the same line which run uptown, asking the conductor for 
a transfer at Fourth and Market streets to the West Fourth 
street line. Cars on that line leave Fourth and Market every tea 
minutes, and the schedule time- from- tliat: point to where one 
gets off for the grounds is fifteen minutes, and a walk of three 
minutes- then lands the, shooter at the club house. White for a

Dover Gun Clob. 
On , the grounds of the Dover; Del.,- Gun Club, March 13, a com- 
plimentary shoot was given in honor of the two famous ;'trap- 
shooters, Messrs. J. A. R. Elliott and J. Mowell Hawkins. . It 
was :succe.s3ful in ' every detail. Competition was keen. Mr. 
Hawkins made high average, 71 out of 75, while Mr. W. M. Foord, 
the Wilmington crackerjack, was second with 66 out of 75. Third 
average was a tie on C5 by Messrs. Elliott and A. B. Richardson,

The following clipping was recently published in Every Even- 
ing: 
"My attention has been called to a communication from Mr. 
John W. Evans, secretary of the Camden Gun Club, of this State, 
which appeared in your issue of the 6th. On behalf of the heavy- 
weight team of the Wilmington Gun Club, of which I am a mem- 
ber, I have to say that I regret there does not seem to be any 
chance of a miatch on the terms stated by Mr. Evans. 
"The original challenge, which, by the way, still stands, -was for 
a team of five men, all members of the same gun club, whose 
aggregate weight should be not less than 1,500 pounds, and not 
1,100, "as ' Mr. Evans seems to have understood. A 1,100-pound 
team of five men would not be hard to pick up in inany a gun 
club, but we think that we have the boss 1,500-pound team in this 
part of the country. 
"If Mr. Evans thinks that his team can train up to our weight, 
we are willing to wait a little while, until they have accomplished 
their object; otherwise no further notice can be taken of the com- 
munication, as it is impossible for us to get do\y,n to their weight. 
Yours very truly, "W. H. Hartlove, 
"Capt. Heavy-Weight Team, Wilmington G. C, Wilmington, Del." 
[Concerning how to take on weight quickly good ideas may be 
acquired by reading Mark Twain's story of the Jumpiiig Frog.]
