There is brewing a State contest between teams of Maryland 
and Delaware. If Perryman can suffocate all attempts at deser- 
tion in this contest, if happily it is arranged, Delaware will have 
the struggle of its life, in a trapshooting sense. 
In the second contest between teams of Perryman and Baltimore 
Shooting Association, the former won by’ a score of 669 to -590.. • 
There were seventeen men to each team. Each m'an shot at '50. 
targets. Messrs. Banks and Richardson,, of Perryman, scored -48 
each and were high. 
In the weekly shoot, at the Point Breeze race track, Philadelphia, 
Pa., last Saturday, there were ten contestants in the event at 10 
birds, $5, handicap, of whom three, McDonald, Churchill and 
Aimaii, scored 9 and were high. Two 6-bird sweepstakes were 
also shot. 
Phe Poughkeepsie Gun Club has arranged a programme of ten 
events for their tournament to be held on Jan. 1. The totals are 
180 targets, entrance $13.60. Shooting will commence at 11 o’clock.

The next contest for the championship of Delaware is set for 
New Year’s Day. Mr. A. B. Richardson, of Dover, is the holder. 
Mr. Edward Banks, of Wilmington, Del., is the challenger. It is 
difficult to wear a championship halo in Delaware without soon 
having it jammed or smashed.

Mr. E. C. Griffith, of Pascoag, R. I., was high average at the 
third weekly shoot of the season, at Wellington, Mass., on 
Wednesday of last week. Mrs. W. K. Park, wife of Mr. Will K. 
Park, the able editor of Sporting Life, was a visitor, and dis- 
played her usual ability by breaking over 40 straight and scoring 
over 95 out of 100. Dr. Gleason scored 99 out of his first lOO shot 
at, but in the sweepstakes averaged 96 per cent. Mr. Griffith 
scored 97 out of his 100. In the lOO-target match the scores were: 
Griffith 97, Gleason 96, Roy 93, Smith 88, Wheeler 84, Rule 92, 
Temby 79, Kirkwood 96, Mrs. Park 93, Frank 94, Jordan 89, Burns 
82, Craighton 65, Webster 25. Capt. O. R. Dickey’s winter shoots, 
held on Wednesdays, are popular and well patronized. The next 
regular shoot will be held on Jan. 3.

At a shoot held in honor of the distinguished visitor, Mr. Fred 
Gilbert, who is famous as an orator with shotgun skill as a mere 
incident, some high scores were recorded. Nothing otherwise was 
to be expected, for, besides the famous Mr. Gilbert, there were 
the famous Messrs. Squier, Banks, Skelly, Foord, Richardson, 
DuPont, German, McKelvey, and others. Messrs. Gilbert and 
Squier tied for high average on 95. Messrs. Banks and Richard- 
son were .second with 92. Mr. Skelly was third with 91. A 
notable feature of the shoot was a squad performance. The mem- 
bers were Messrs. Gilbert, Squier, Richardson, Banks and Ger- 
man. They broke 74 out of 75. The goose-egg being the personal 
belonging of Mr. Gilbert, concerning which there were many 
solicitous inquiries as to the manner in which he did it. These 
happenings were at Wilmington, Del.

Hood Wafers Wics Turkeys. 
Baltimore, Md. — The West Arlington Gun Club held a handi- 
cap shoot for turkeys at its new grounds, Hayward avenue, near 
the Reistertown road. Saturday afternoon, Dec. 23. There were 
eleven shooters, and five events; four at 15 targets and one at 10. 
Hood Waters won high honors, and three turkeys, running 30 
straight in the first two events.

for each victory. The second event Waters shot from 18yds. and 
won. The third from 20yds. and was high with 13. The fourth 
and fifth events he shot from 22yds. 
Capt. Malone had evidently not recovered from the “licking” 
the Perryman boys gave his “team,” as his feet seemed glued to 
the 16yd. mark. 
The West Arlington Gun Club is a new organization and for 
young shooters made a good showing. The scores;
