These two events were the most important on the program 
of the Grand American Handicap Tournament, held at 
Dayton, Ohio, June 17-20, and the greatest in the trap 
shooting world. 
Each of them consisted of twice as many targets as the 
Handicap events. 
There were 210 of the best shots in the world competing, all 
SHOOTING FROM THE SAME MARK, 18 YDS. 
It was the severest possible test of ammunition and shooter. 
That both of the winners used the brand—the 
“steel t&fhere steel belongs” kind—is rvot surpris¬ 
ing to the great army of sportsmen familiar with 
their SUPERIOR SHOOTING QUALITY.

Wanted —300 or more trapsh voters by the Du Pont 
Gun Chib (you’ve heard of us) to attend the big 
EASTERN TOURNAMENT—July 14, 15, 16, 17. 
We are waiting for you with ‘belis on” and with 
“our hair in a braid,” and we will show you the best 
shoot you ever attended in your whole life in the way 
of an EASTERN HANDICAP. First prize, $200 solid 
gold and a big trophy; second prize, $150’ solid gold, but 
no trophy; third prize, $100 solid gold, also without a 
trophy. 
If you “need the money” there is no excuse for you 
not being here. There will be plenty of money at the 
shoot, and it looks “easy.” If you don’t need the 
money, you’re all right, but that is no sign we don’t 
need you, so come on and shoot for fun, and besides 
have the lime of your life. 
Keep it dark! Tuesday night, July 15, special moving 
picture show in Hotel Du Pont ballroom. We’d like to 
tell you what it is, but mum’s the word. It’s free, but 
not cheap, and you’ll be satisfied. 
A NIGHT ON A ROOF GARDEN—Wednesday, July 16. 
The time: 8:30 P. M. and until the last dog is hung. 
The place: Hotel Du Pont Roof Garden. Take the 
elevator. 
And the Girl: Your wife, if you have one. If un¬ 
attached, come along anyway. There’ll be many 
such. 
Come on and make us “ring those bells” and “take 
down our hair.” We’ve got your number, Steve. And 
you’ll hear from us and plenty if you don’t show up. 
We’re painting—not the town—but the club house 
for the big shoot. 
Do this iittle thing yourself, and don’t let George 
do it. George said be wouldn’t be here. 
Special bands for the occasion—cigar bands. Don’t 
expect a special invitation. We had only one, and we 
sent that to Wocdrow; he’s saving them. Cheer up, the 
worst is yet to come.

The afternoon of the Fourth proved an ideal one for 
trapshooting, and both traps were in fine condition. 
J. F. Calhoun was again high gun, but he had an equal 
partner in J. W. Napier who tied him, breaking 47 birds 
out of a possible 50. Napier is new at the trapshooting 
game, but has already shown that he is a crack shot. Cal¬ 
houn also won in the doubles, getting 39 out of a pos¬ 
sible 50, and was followed closely by Dr. Heisey with 36. 
Napier tying Calhoun, qualifies with him in Class A for 
tlie shoot-off at the end of the season. H. N. Pendleton 
qualifies in Class B, and Chas. Napier and B. E. Parke 
in Class C. Total scores follow:

Wilmington, Del., July 5.—Rain and fifty shooters 
furnished much interest here to-day. Eugene du Font’s 
latest cup donation was the big magnet. It brought on 
a dead heat between J. H. Minnick and A. H. Lobb, 
each of whom disintegrated 25 without intermission. 
Another straight 25 rolled up by R. P. Willis took away 
Class I? event. Class C went into tie between J. B. 
Green and W. A. Casey. It took 17 to win, cracked by 
W. H. Neeley, who took Class D, and two more 
smashed by E. E. Handy, got Class E trophy. With a 
free start of 5 and an actuai breakage of 22, H. T. Reed 
won Stevens trophy. This was final shoot for this 
trophy. 
Dr. A. Patterson got away with the double event, 
snuffing 16 out of ten pair. 
George Maxwell was upper berth pro- with 100 straight 
out of as many efforts. Linn Worthington lost one 
more, while J. H. Minnick was in Eastern Handicap 
form with 97 out of 100. Scores:
