Dupont Telegraphic Match. 
The first “leg” of the telegraphic match for the 
trophy offered by the Du Pont Powder Company, in 
which there are’ twenty-three clubs in various states 
competing, was held by the Pahquioque Rod and Gun 
Club at Tamarack Range yesterday afternoon. Twenty- 
five shooters participated, and the affair was in every 
way a success, the score of the ten high men being 
208-250. The dinner was one of the best that the club 
has held, and after this enjoyable feast shooting was 
held in the telegraphic match. 
The weather conditions were not the best for high 
scores for it was cold and windy and the light was not 
good. Despite these handicaps, however, several high 
scores were made, B. Crane and VV. Gregory account¬ 
ing for 24 and Hal Sanford and C. Cornen, of Ridge¬ 
field, both members of the club, disposing of 23. A 
number of the members of the Ridgefield Gun club 
were present and made some good scores. Messrs. 
Bedient and Sanford, of Ridgefield, broke 25 straight 
in practice. W. E. Day and R. Downs accounted for 
24 and 23, respectively, in practice. A feature of the 
shoot was the shooting of the twelve-year-old son of 
Hal Sanford, who won the admiration of all his big 
brothers at the traps with his cleverness with a gun. 
He made some good scores breaking 19-25 in one event. 
He won the prize for the youngest shooter and was 
made a member of the local club. 
The DuPont handicap trophy was won by James T. 
Bowman with a total of 230-250, "with Byron Crane 229, 
VV. A. Gregory 228, R. Downs 226, M. Scofield 223, and 
R. Bailey 217. The following were all who finished. 
Others who failed to attend the shoot would have had 
an excellent chance. The prizes for high scratch score 
were won as follows: Class A—W. A. Gregory 225- 
250; Class B—Byron Crane 219-250; Class C—R. Downs 
200-250; Class D—M. Scofield 185-200. The prizes were 
sterling silver spoons. There was a special added bird 
handicap of twenty-five targets, Jas. T. bowman win¬ 
ning first prize with a straight score of 25. W. A. 
Gregory, C. Cornen and H. Bedient were second with 
a score of 21, Bedient winning the toss for the prize. 
The other scores in this event were: H. Sanford 19, 
Dr. E. B. Van Saun 19, S. Sanford 19. M. Scofield 19, 
S. H. Fanton 17, R. Downs 16, Robert Sears 15, B. 
Crane 15, R. Bailey 14.

New York Athletic Club. 
Pelham Manor, January 3, 1914. 
Lordee, the gale blew like the ratlines couldn’t hold 
out and the Sound steamers were getting ready to 
batten down for the night off Stepping Stones light. 
This didn’t dowse the ardor of the Travers Island 
trappists for fifteen of ’em braved the tempest, this too 
with some few in Lakewood swiping the team short. 
The traps were irregular because the Nor’Easter drove 
up a tide that flooded the trap houses compelling the 
boys to use life preservers in setting the Leggetts. 
Conrad Stein lifted the lid and kopped the big ma¬ 
jority. A. VV. Church put a crimp into two events, 
while VV. B. Ogden put one over.

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 3rd, 1914. 
The members of the Jersey City Gun Club encoun¬ 
tered the roughest weather of the season to-day as it 
was blowing a gale from the northeast and raining hard. 
But 15 shooters braved the weather just the same and 
all enjoyed trying to outguess the targets. The wind 
was blowing right in our faces and after trying to hit 
one and missing it we had to dodge the target to 
keep it from hitting us as several of them were blown 
back upon the platform and two or three hitting the 
windows of the club house several yards back of the 
shooters and smashing their way right in among the 
boys huddled around the stove, causing considerable 
excitement for a few seconds. Mr. and Mrs. Otto 
Randall who are giving exhibitions of revolver and 
r’fle shooting at one of the vaudeville theatres in New 
York were over to-day and while trap shooting is a 
new sport for Mrs. Randall she certainly did fine and 
shot as good as the men in her squad and with a little 
more practice she wont have to take advice from the 
rest of the shooters but will be handing it out. Dixon 
was high gun again to-day and finished up with an 
average of 73 per cent, for the day. Geo. Piercy was 
second with his new gun with 64 per cent. Dixon also 
won the leg on the Dupont Trophy with a score of 
22 counting handicap. The scores follow in strings 
of 25.

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
January 3, 1914. 
Only the “dyed in the wool” enthusiasts turned out 
to-day, but the ’ Audubon Club is fortunate in having 
19 of that kind, as that was the number at the first shoot 
for 1914. A strong wind from the north and a blinding 
snow contributed to low scores excepting in the last 
event the telegraph match event, at which the boys all 
shot from 15 yards. After shooting, from 18 to 21 
yards handicap, the boys walked up to the 16 yard 
mark and fairly outdid themselves. In the Marlin Gun 
Event, a distance handicap affair 16 to 23 yds., the lucky 
man to get a win was Patterson with 21 'from 20 yards. 
Hammond, Ebberts and Black carried home Audubon 
Club Spoons. Altogether a very enjoyable afternoon 
was spent. Scores:

Larchmont Yacht Club. 
Larchmont. N. Y., January 4, 1914. 
Steady rain again greeted local trap shooters yester¬ 
day, but the wind was by no means as strong as on 
Saturday, and in consequence very creditable scores 
were shot. L T p at the Larchmont Yacht Club traps, 
where fourteen men reported for the weekly competi¬ 
tions, averages were only a trifle smaller than usual. The 
most successful contestant was A. W. Allison, who 
won four of the eight events from a short handicap. 
Ralph Spotts, for the eighth time in succession, had 
the best scratch score for the day. but his margin this 
time was only one point.
