Dn Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del, Nov. 1.—At the Du Pont Gun 
'Club to-day the Coleman du Pont spoon contest and a 
special miss-and-out event were on the program. The 
former had an entry list of over forty, while the latter 
^probably created more interest and enthusiasm than any 
single event ever pulled off by the local club. This 
event will run during November and will be shot only 
on Saturdays. The targets are 22yds. rise, one man up, 
at No. 2 position. Targets are thrown the maximum 
distance, with extreme angles. From each entrance fee 
of 15 cents 7% cents will be applied to a trophy fund. 
Trophies will be awarded to the first, second and third 
longest runs. Professionals will shoot for targets only, 
but a prize will be awarded the professional making the 
longest run. 
Ihe longest run was 11, and was made by Walter 
Huff. The next by C. E. Springer, with 10. Champ. 
Hammond had 8, J. FI. Minnick 7, T. E. Doremus 6, 
George Waddell 7, W. S Colfax 7. 
Walter Huff and George Waddell were among the 
visitors. Both shot very well, Huff scoring 96 out of 
10O, while Waddell scored 91. They are from Georgia. 
Other good scores were: J. H. Minnick 96, Champ Ham¬ 
mond 93.

Fox G. C. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 2.— The opening of the 
season kept the attendance down at the regular semi¬ 
monthly shoot of the Fox Gun Club; but though the 
field was small, there was a good attendance of visitors. 
On the program of 100 targets with the usual club handi¬ 
caps, Van Reed took the club dipper and a leg on the 
challenge cup. Harry Eyre, a visitor, finished with 87. 
Frank Harkins broke 70 and Howland finished just one 
target behind. Some of the lady visitors to the club 
tried their hand with the gun, with considerable success, 
particularly Miss Nan Hoffman, who, after she is ac¬ 
customed to the recoil, should make a pretty good show¬ 
ing. Though the wind bothered her not a little Miss 
Hoffman handled the gun like a veteran, and she broke 
at least two of her targets in a manner to earn the 
plaudits of the c'ub members. Scores: Howland (11) 89, 
Van Reed (6) 51, Delany (1) 62, "Cresdale 45, Gough 
(6) 38, "Harkins 70, Cox (2) 62, "Johnson 12, "Eyre 87.

Birmingham G. C. 
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 1.—Twenty-three shooters 
were at the weekly shoot of the Birmingham Gun Club 
to-day. Conditions were hard, owing to the bad light 
and wind. John Fletcher led the field with 90 breaks out 
of his 100 shot at, with a new gun—a remarkable per¬ 
formance under the circumstances. He was followed by 
Gentry Hillman and R. H. Baugh. Several of the 
shooters were shooting at targets for the first time, con¬ 
sequently the low scores resulted:

SONNET. 
BY ROBERT PAGE LINCOLN. 
Yield me a pen, from whose fine point shall flow 
The unguessed numbers of an antique song; 
And in one tone bring terror to the strong, 
And in one note search all the winds that blow. 
Visit the home of silence and of woe— 
And write for me the lesson of all wrong; 
Then will about me many faces throng— 
And as I listen somehow I will know! 
O melody supreme—whisper eternally! 
And breathe for me the splendor of one rhyme: 
And I shall seize, when comes the chosen time, 
A gracious moment—still and shadowy, 
The gilded ink a whole world will embrace: 
Heaven and hell—both virtue and disgrace!
