Du Pont G. C. 
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 11.—The ever-ready 12-gauge 
battledore took another swat at the Delaware State 
shuttlecock to-day and her location once more was 
changed. Young Bill Colfax, whose smile indicated 
possession of this much-coveted trophy, was shot to 
pieces, metaphorically, by J. B. McHugh, who was just 
one too good for Colfax. The final was 93 to- 94 out of 
10.1. Ward Hammond has put in his bid for the next 
wallop at the cup. 
T. B. McHugh with 24 out of 25, won the Class A 
spoon. D. J. Dougherty, Stanley Tuchton and T. W. 
Mathewson tied with 22 in Class B. .1. W. Cann with 
23 won in Class C. Dr. Bullock with 19 won in Class 
]), and R. F. Springer, a mere lad of thirteen, won in 
Class E with 11. The scores follow:

Demopolia G. C. 
Demopolis, Ala., Oct. 8. —Enclosed find scores made 
by shooters at an impromptu shoot given on the occasion 
of a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Ad. Topperwein to-day. 
The weather was ideal, no wind, bright and warm. 
Good scores were made at the traps, although the traps 
were not working very well, and gave poor delivery and 
many broken targets. We have nice grounds, adjacent to 
town, and will buy and install new traps next season.

FOUR BEARS CREEK. 
Continued from page 4S9. 
the change of position the two bears, either from 
noise made by my movemen or getting a sight 
of something unusual in the moonlight, stopped. 
Almost as quick as thought, by a careful aim, I 
delivered fire at the mass of the foremost hear, 
and at the crack of the rifie he fell in his tracks. 
The other hear remained motionless, apparently 
dazed. Another cartridge was quickly inserted, 
hut before aim could be taken he sprung off to 
;he left and was soon on a full run to the hills 
near, making fearfully long jumps. Before he 
had gone far, the first shot was delivered—a 
miss: then a second shot—a miss, and he soon 
disappeared in the darkness. These shots were 
fired about half past nine o’clock. Before their 
reverberations had ceased they were answered 
by the yells and whoops of a party of United 
States surveyors, encamped, as I learned later, 
across the Grey Bull River, just above the 
mouth of the creek. 
On examining the carcass, I found that the 
bullet had penetrated the skull near the eye, 
passing through the brain, and hence the sudden 
and motionless death. As the fore-sight was a 
wad of white tissue paper bound on the end of 
the barrel, this proved a good shot at thirty- 
seven and one-half yards, as measured from the 
carcass the next day, to the point at which the 
three empty shells were found. 
I should have secured the other bear, but
