■Wilmiogton Goo Club, 
VViLMiNGTOJi, Del,, March 25.— The members of the YVilrokigt«n 
Gun Club held, this afternoon, their first regular badge shoot op 
the nfcv>r grounds, which have just been secured. Althotigh at thi# 
rime last week the club house, location of Leggett trap, plat^ 
form for shooters, etc., had not even been staked out, by 1 P. M, 
this afternoon, everything, witli the exception of the platform, was 
in readiness for the crowd of shooters expected to take part 
Owing to the heavy rain on Monday and Tuesday of this week, 
the club house could not be commenced until Wednesday morning, 
so that it may be considered as only right that the W^ilmington 
Gun. Club pat themselves on the back and point to what tlieir 
hustling qualities can do when once started in the right direction. 
The high wind from behind the trap caused the targets to take 
erratic courses, in addition to which the targets themselves were 
throvvn rather too far, the trap not having been properly adjusted. 
Among those present and taking part were W aiter Huff, of Macon, 
Ga., and Ed. G. White, of Ottawa, Ont., Can. The ever youthful and 
pleasing expert Mr. Frank E. Butler, of Newark, N. J., was also 
present, and shot up to his usual high standard for the first 
part of the programme at least. 
Some thirty shooters in all shot through the programme of 110 
targets, 10 targets for practice and a lUO-target race; Mr. Huflf 
showed the way by breaking 49 out of his first 50 and 46 out of 
the second half, making a total of 95, which, under the same con- 
ditions, will take a lot of beating on these grounds. VV. M. 
Foord, with 91, and J. A. McKelvey, with 90, were second and 
tliird respectively. These three gentlemen were the only ones to 
score 25 straight in any one of their strings. 
Somehow or another the score sheets got away, and the totals 
for the other contestants cannot therefore be given. Some may 
regret this fact, but the majority will thank the party who heid 
on to the sheets long enough to prevent their appearing in print 
in your columns. This won't happen again, we promise you. 
Frank Butler was jubilant over the fact that he was the first to 
display any advertising matter on the walls of the club house. 
Luther J. Squier and Ed G. White both shot borrowed guns, 
and their scores showed the result. Mr. Squier's gun is in th« 
hospital at New Haven, getting fixed up for a strenuous summer 
campaign in Pennsylvania, while Mr, White had left his behind 
in Ottawa, Canada, not having expected to get a chance to shoot 
during his brief visit to the States. 
All those who come to our shoot on April 12-13 next, the first 
annual spring tournament of the Delaware State Trapshooters' 
League, are now assured of being comfortably housed, no matter 
what the weather may be, as, in addition to our club house, 32 
by 24, we will have a large tent, 45 by 25, under which our guests 
can take shelter if the clerk of the weather bureau is unkind. 
If you want a programme, write to the undersigned, 
H. J. Stidham, Sec'y. 
Ill East Fourth St., Wilmington, Del. 
Ossining Gon Club. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., March 25.— The appended scores were made in

Independent Gun Club, 
Easton, Pa., March 25. — The scores made at the last shoot of 
the Independent Gun Club are appended. The wind made the 
shooting pretty hard. We have an apple tree target on our 
grounds, which is an extreme target thrown to the right into an 
apple tree standing a distance of 70yds. from the trap, and when 
one connects with this targets and breaks it — well, you sometimes 
think you had an awful slow load. Mr. I'lciss made a straight run 
of 55 targets. Each event was at 25 targets:
