Nemours (Ladies) Gun Club. 
Wilmihgton, Delaware, Dec. 4, 1913. 
Yesterday the ladies of the Nemours Gun Club took 
part in a match called the “Pepple Shoot,” a fifty bird 
event. This shoot was outlined by Mrs. Ruth Alexander 
Pepple, a well known writer and trap-shooter of Erie, 
Kansas. Some time ago Mrs. Pepple became interested 
in the Nemours Gun Club and wrote them suggesting 
this shoot for which she furnished eight prizes. 
The following extract from Mrs. Pepple’s letter gives 
an excellent idea of the conditions: 
“I would suggest laying aside all class distinctions 
as the prizes are limited in number and there are no 
duplicates, letting each one go into it to do her best. 
‘‘This shoot to be held some afternoon when it is 
convenient to have a large attendance with fifty targets 
in twenty-five events to be shot at. 
“The prizes will go according to the scores made. 
“There will be two special prizes to be given to the 
lady who breaks the highest number of targets in the 
last string of twenty-five shot at, regardless of whether 
she has won one of the other prizes or not. 
“These prizes will be sent wrapped so as to disguise 
the nature as much as possible and are not to be opened 
by anyone until the shoot is over, the scores compiled, 
and the Club is gathered in the Club House. The arti¬ 
cles will be numbered on the inside wrapper so there 
will be no difficulty in awarding them. I would further 
suggest that some disinterested party have this in 
charge; one of the gentlemen, perhaps of the Du Pont 
Gun Club.” 
The shoot was run exactly as Mrs. Pepple had sug¬ 
gested, and proved to be a most interesting and exciting 
one due to the fact that the prizes were kept secret until 
the close of the shoot. 
Miss Harriet D. Hammond won first prize with a 
total of 37 out of 50 shot at. The prize was a souvenir 
spoon of Kansas. 
The second prize, a volume on “Shooting,” by A. 
Innes Shand, went to Miss Bessie V. Carson, total 33 
-out of 50. 
Mrs. W. A. Joslyn took third prize, “The Price of 
the Prairie,” by Margaret Hall McCarter, total score 27 
out of 50. 
The fourth prize was won by Mrs. Bertha McKaig 
with a score of 26. It was a volume entitled “On Sec¬ 
ond Thought.” _ . 
Mrs. J. R. Bradley won fifth prize, another volume 
by Margaret Hall MoCarter, entitled “The Peace ot 
Solomon Valley.’’ Mrs. Bradley’s score was 25 out of 50. 
The sixth prize, a gun chamois, was won by Mrs. 
Harry J. Stidham with a total of 23 out of 50. 
The seventh prize, a drawn work handkerchief, was 
won by Mrs. B. V. Clark with a score of 18 out of 50. 
Mrs. E. L. Riley and Miss J. P. Hirst tied for eighth 
• rize, each having a total of 17 out of 50. In the drawing 
for the winner, Mrs. Riley won—the prize ‘was a volume 
cf poems entitled “Gray’s Elegy and other Poems.” 
The two special prizes awarded to the two contest¬ 
ants who broke the greatest number of targets in the 
last string of twenty-five, went to Miss Hammond and 
Miss Carson. Miss Hammond won the special prize for 
first high gun in the last 25 with the remarkable score 
of 22. The prize was one year’s subscription to the 
“Sportsman’s Review.” 
The special prize for the second high gun in the last 
25 went to Miss Carson, whose score was 20 out of 25. 
The prize was a year’s subscription to “Outdoor Life.” 
The event yesterday was one of the most enjoyable 
of the season and the Nemours shooters owe a rousing 
vote of thanks to Mrs. Pepple for the great interest she 
has shown in their club. 
In the handicap event for the Major Ramsay Trophy, 
Miss J. P. Hirst and Mrs. J. R. Bradley tied, but in the 
shoot-off which followed Miss Hirst won and will be the 
wearer of the medal until the next regular shoot.

Thanksgiving Team Round. 
The mail match team round shot on Thanksgiving 
Day resulted in scores of widely different merit. Some 
blamed the climatic conditions for their mediocre show¬ 
ing, but the bard of the Jersey City archers evidenced 
no such tendency in the following verses: 
“The shooting' on Thanksgiving Day 
That we all did together 
Was much too 'bad for us to lay 
The blame upon the weather.” 
A new archer at Devon who, while in college, was 
a star football player, shot with Mr. Hale and after¬ 
ward sent in his scores accompanied by these lines: 
“To the Devon Polo Ground 
Our automobile thundered. 
There we vowed to shoot a round 
Of nought below five hundred.
