Nemours (Ladies) G. C. 
Wilmington, Del.—Notwithstanding the intense heat 
of Wednesday afternoon, eighteen women of the Nemours 
Gun Club faced the traps on the Du Pont Gun Club 
grounds for their weekly shoot. This club, though but 
recently organized, has met with much success, and at 
this writing has a membership of over sixty women. 
The shooters are divided into three classes—A, B and C; 
and every week there is a prize offered in each class for 
the highest score out of the first 25 targets thrown. On 
Wednesday afternoon Miss Bessie V. Carson, shooting 
at unknown angles, was high in Class A and was 
NEMOURS GUN CLUB SQUAD. 
Shooting in the rain at the Eastern Handicap. 
awarded a very pretty silver picture frame containing a 
colored photograph of Mrs. Adolph Topperwein. Miss 
Carson’s score was 14 out of 25. 
In Class B, Mrs. Harry P. Carlon was high with a 
score of 11 out of 25 straightaway targets, and her prize 
was a silver friendship pin set with brilliants. 
To little Miss Elizabeth Hammond, aged fifteen 
years, who has been shooting for only three weeks, was 
awarded the Class C prize, a silver-mounted salt and 
pepper set. Her score was 8 out of 25 straightaway 
targets. 
Major William C. Ramsay, of Wilmington, has given 
the club a handsome gold medal, to be competed for 
weekly, beginning the first week in September and con¬ 
tinuing throughout the year 1913. To the member win¬ 
ning it the greatest number of times during this period 
the medal will be awarded permanently. H. D. H.

Havana, Cuba, July 30.-—The final shoot of the 
match for the Du Pont trophy was pulled off on July 26 
on the grounds of the club, resulting in a victory for 
Carlos D. Scott, president of the club, with a total score 
of 141, in six events of 25 targets each, including added 
targets, the actual breakage of discs in the air being 126. 
In all, twenty-one shooters took part in the match, 
which was arranged to be shot for on ten distinct dates, 
six scores being necessary to qualify, with added targets 
as suggested in the leaflet issued by the Du Pont Com¬ 
pany. Owing to absence on several of the appointed 
dates of a number of members of the club, only eight 
competitors completed the stipulated program, their 
scores being given hereunder. 
Upon Mr. Scott being proclaimed winner, a number 
of our Cuban members protested that on account of 
the “oatmeal bannocky” name of our worthy president, 
the impression would be that a countryman of “Andy” 
had carried away the honors from the aborigines on 
their own ground, but such is not the case. The illus- 
trisimo Sefior Don Carlos D. Scott is a Cuban—whether 
Siboney or Hatuey, is immaterial—and is the first Cuban 
to win a Du Pent trophy. 
The shooters almost invariably used Ballistite, which 
is the favorite spoiling powder among our shooters. 
Some prefer Schult-.e, which, I believe is more adapted 
to climatic conditions here, as it seems to be less af¬ 
fected by the extreme heat. 
Subjoined are the total scores of the shooters who 
completed the match:

Solid Gold Long Run Trophies 
HIS exceptionally large list of Long Runs is 
another exhibition of the results attained by 
unerring accuracy assisted by superior powder. 
These scores were made in the registered tourna¬ 
ments—many of them under most trying conditions 
when regular and reliable behavior of powder put 
“staying powers” in the shooters.

Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 2.— Blackmer and Patterson, 
recently advanced from Class B to A were the top-liners 
at to-day’s shoot, both breaking the same number of 
targets, viz., 115 out of the total of 125, their handicaps 
being 17yds. for the first four events and 20yds. for the 
last two. Ward shot well in his first 100, with 8 down, 
while he lost 5 cut of his last 25. Wright and Kelsey, 
who were high at the recent Bradford tournament with 
485 out of 500, found the handicapping a little severe.

Westy Hogans Program. 
The program for the 1913 tournament of the Westy 
Hogans, which will be held at Atlantic City, N. J., 
Sept. 16 to 20, will be mailed to shooters in every part 
of the country about Aug. 20. A tentative draft of the 
document was presented by the tournament committee 
at the meeting of the Hogans at Wilmington, Del., during 
the week of the Eastern Handicap, and it met with 
instant approval. That it will be up to the standard 
set by the Hogans, and no doubt, go last year’s pro¬ 
gram one better, goes without saying. The Hogans have 
a way of surprising their friends, and this year will be 
no exception. The Westy Hogan mailing list is large, and 
covers a wide range of territory, but doubtless there are 
some shooters whose names are not on the list and 
would like to see a program. If you do not receive a 
program by Aug. 25 drop a card to Bernard Elsesser, 
Secretary, York, Pa., and you will get one post-haste.
