Du Pont G. C. 
Wilmington, Del., Aug. 2.—The first contest for the 
1913 F. L. Connable cup was fired at the Du Pont Gun 
Club to-day. The conditions are 25 targets per man 
over trap No. 1. It is a distance handicap, open to all 
amateurs who are members of the Du Pont Gun Club. 
Contests will be held every third Saturday. The first 
cup donated was won by W. G. Wood. The cup last 
year was won by J. C. Roberson. In to-day’s matches 
two men tied for high. They were J. B. McHugh, 22yds., 
with 24 out of 25, and T. W. Mathewson, 20yds. The 
winner of this tie will be the first name to be placed on 
this year’s cup. 
J. B. McHugh broke 98 out of 100, including the 24 
from 22yds. A. B. Richardson scored 97. 
In the Class A challenge match, A. H. Lobb de¬ 
feated J. IT. Minnick. Their scores were: Lobb 46 and 
Minnick 45 out of 50. In Class D, D. S. Wood defeated 
W. H. Neely, 38 out of 50. Wood thus has the right 
to have his name engraved on the Class D cup. The 
tie in Class E, between Dr. Harris and Mr. McClosky 
was won by the latter, with 14 out of 25 to 11 for Dr. 
Harris. Scores:

is finding new users every day. Be 
modern—up-to-now—and give R. H. 
the trial it demands. 
The powder is our own product, and 
unlike the ' explosive” kinds, R. H. 
burns progressively all along the 
barrel. That means tremendous muz¬ 
zle velocity, and the elimination of 
“kick.” 
Next time you carry your gun, try 
R. H. and see the effect on your 
game bag.

International and National Shooting 
Tournament, Camp Perry, Ohio. 
For twenty-eight days, from Aug. 15 to Sept. 9, 
more bullets will be hurled at the bullseye at Camp 
Perry than were expended in many of the great battles 
of the Civil War. The trials of skill of eye and nerve 
will begin on the morning of Aug. 15 with the historical 
old matches of the National Rifle Association of Amer¬ 
ica, the opening - event being the thirty-eighth annual 
contest for the Wimbledon cup, representing the individ¬ 
ual long range championship of the United States. 
The event which all riflemen will strive for will be the 
President’s match which will be shot on Aug. 21. This 
match carries with it the title of the individual military 
championship of the United States, and the winner, in 
addition to receiving a gold medal, receives an autograph 
letter of commendation from the President of the United 
States. The matches of the N. R. A. will close on Sat¬ 
urday, Aug. 23, with a team match to determine the 
United States championship of civilian rifle clubs. 
The following Monday, Aug. 25, will begin the na¬ 
tional matches biennial events participated in by teams 
from all the States and Territories of the Union, the 
District of Columbia, two teams from the Army, rep¬ 
resenting infantry and cavalry; the Navy, and the Marine 
Corps. Advance information would indicate that every 
State in the Union, with the exception of Nebraska, 
Nevada, Idaho, Arkansas, and South Carolina, will be 
represented. In all, there will be about forty-nine 
learns. The National matches will close on Friday, Aug. 
29, and the following day, the four services on which 
i ncle Sam depends for defense—i. e., the Army, Navy, 
Marine Corps and the National Guard—will compete in 
the United Service match to determine the rifle shoot¬ 
ing supremacy between these different branches of mili¬ 
tary service. 
Interest, however, is centered in the international 
match, beginning Monday, Sept. I. The riflemen of the 
United States who have traveled to the four corners of 
the earth, winning laurels wherever they went, this year 
extended an invitation to every nation of the world to 
send rifle teams to America as a part of Perry’s Victory 
Centennial celebration, which is being held on Lake 
Erie. The organization of international rifle shooting 
societies of the world voted in France last year to 
bring their matches to the United States this year, and 
the newly organized Pan-American Shooting Union did 
the same, thus insuring a concentration of all the great 
international shooting competitions of the world at Camp 
Perry. Ten nations will take part in these matches. 
They are France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Argen¬ 
tine Republic, Peru, Canada, Mexico, Cuba and the 
United States. 
To insure the success of this meeting, and to enable 
the committee on arrangements to properly entertain 
the visiting riflemen. Congress appropriated $25,000. This 
was supplemented by the State of Ohio, which appro¬ 
priated $15,000. Out of these appropriations, the trans¬ 
portation of foreign teams in this country will be paid. 
In the matches themselves, which consist of team 
races with both rifle and pistol, nearly $30,000 in cash 
prizes will be paid; in addition to which special gold, 
silver and bronze plaques, medals and works of art will 
be given to the extent of about $3,060 more. The French 
nation has presented to the riflemen of the United States 
a magnificent Sevres vase, to be competed for by local 
riflemen only. In addition to this prize de luxe, France 
is also giving six cups for the international individual 
match with the army rifle. 
It will be incumbent upon the United States to or¬ 
ganize and train four teams; one for the “Free” rifle 
match at 300 meters of the International Union; one for 
the military rifle match of the Pan-American Shooting 
Ljnion; a team for the Palma trophy match, and a 
pistol team, which will enter the matches of both inter¬ 
national unions. The interests of the United States in 
the pistol matches will be taken care of through the 
United States Revolver Association, and the captain of 
the team is the well-known international pistol shot, 
Capt. Reginald H. Sayre, N. Y. N. G. 
The proposition which is giving the most concern to 
the American riflemen is the organization of a team for 
the “Free” rifle match. This is a method of shooting 
almost unknown to American riflemen. “Free” rifles 
would be considered by our men as freak rifles, consist¬ 
ing. of heavy barrels, set triggers, palm rests, and es¬ 
pecially made stocks to fit the contour of the face and 
shoulder. The man who has been selected to organize 
this team and lead it to victory is Lieut. Glendie B. 
Young, of the District of Columbia National Guard. 
Special rifles are being manufactured, and a preliminary 
tryout to select ten men to put in training for this team 
will be held at Camp Perry range on Aug. 14. This 
competition is open to any American citizen, and the 
special rifles will be available for use by all competitors. 
In this match, Switzerland in the past has been in¬ 
vincible. In the sixteen years that this match has been 
shot, she has won it fifteen times and was second once. 
The team which is coming from Switzerland to com¬ 
pete is the one that was victorious in France last year. 
One member of the team, Mr. Staeheli, has been the 
high honor man in this competition several times. The 
captain of the team is Meyer de Stadelhosen. 
The French are also sending two very strong teams. 
The rifle team will be captained by D. Merillon, the 
president of the International Union. One of the mem¬ 
bers of the team will be P. R. Colas, who won the 600 
meter match at the Olympic games last year from Lieut. 
Osburn, an American, by one point. 
Great things are expected of the team from Argen¬ 
tina, which has been in this country since the middle 
of July, and which has been in training as individuals 
for over half the year. Four members of this team are 
connected with the Argentina Navy, and will report to 
an Argentina battleship in this country at the close of 
the matches. The captain of this team is Dr. Juan Carlos 
Gallegos. 
Little is known about the team which is coming from 
Germany, except that the team is in training at Nurn- 
berg under the auspices of the Deutscher Schuetzen- 
bund. 
A feature of the international meeting will be the 
large attendance of riflemen from Canada. Nearly every 
province is sending a delegation of its own in addition 
to which the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association will 
enter a team in the Palma trophy match. It is expected 
that Sweden, which is sending a delegation of fourteen 
riflemen, the captain of which will be Capt. P. H. Heden- 
blad. France and Argentina will also enter this famous 
competition; the largest entry list that has ever yet 
been made. A team to represent the United States will 
be selected at Camp Perrv from the scores which the 
men make in the Wimbledon cup match, the Adjutant- 
General’s match, and the 1000yd. stage of the President’s 
match, and of the Marine Corps match. Twenty-five 
men making the highest score will be chosen, from 
whom the final team will be selected, from a further test 
held on Aug. 30. The captain of this Palma team, rep¬ 
resenting the United States, is Lieut.-Col. N. B. Thurs¬ 
ton, N.'Y. N. C. 
The team which will represent the United States in 
the International Pan-American Shooting Union will also 
be selected from the record of scores made at the Camp 
Perry matches. Capt. Harry Lay, of the United States 
Marine Corps, is captain. 
The man who will be at the head of this mammoth 
affair and who will act as executive officer is Brig.-Gen. 
R. K. Evans. U. S. A , who has had much experience 
as executive officer in five previous national competitions. 
He will be assisted bv about one hundred Army, Marine 
Corps and National Guard officers, and will have a regi¬ 
ment of trops to take care of the marking and scoring. 
It is intended after the matches are over to show 
the visiting riflemen something of the country after a 
banquet, which will be held at Camp Perry on the mght 
of Sept. 9, when all the prizes will be presented. The 
following day a special train will take the visitors to 
Buffalo, to see Niagara Falls. From there the partv 
will go to Sea Girt, so that such riflemen as may wish 
to do so may take part in the Sea Girt matches, which 
will then be going on. Those who do not care to enter 
these competitions will he taken to. Washington and 
shown the principal features of the Capital of the country.
