T hese powders are 
conspicuous for their 
reliability. Their 
superiority is further em¬ 
phasized by the wonderful 
scores at the traps made by 
shooters who are particular 
to choose shells which have 
the top shot wad marked 
“Dupont” or “ Ballistite,” 
—the quality marks of

V. 
Larchmonl Y. C. 
Larchmont, N. Y., Jan. 5.—It was banner day at 
tbe Larchmont Y. C. to-day, there being a large field, 
and the scores were the highest seen in many years. 
In all of the ten matches, except one, from two to ten 
full scores were returned. The ten were shot in the 
special trophy match by W. J. Elias, A. Whiting, J. 
Raymond, M. K. Waters, Dr. L. Culver, T. J. McCahill. 
J H. Finch, W. B. Short, V\'. E. Ferguson and W. 
F W. Fitzgerald. 
W. E. Ferguson carried off the honors of the day, 
for he won four of the matches, shooting in most 
cases against twenty others and finishing with full 
scores in each, sometimes after a shoot-off with his op¬ 
ponents. His first win was the leg for the monthly cup, 
then the special trophy match which he followed up by 
winning the “take-home” trophy and finally he tied in 
the 100-bird handicap match with A. Whiting, each hav¬ 
ing made the phenomenal score of 100. In the shoot-off 
Ferguson won. 
Ralph L. Spotts upheld his reputation as “high 
gun" for the day by breaking 138 out of the possible 
150 targets. B 31- Higginson tied him, and they shot 
off, but the latter not being a member, Spotts won. 
Higginson won the visitors’ trophy with a full score, 
and he was also the winner of the special take-home 
trophy at 25 targets. He returned a full score. 
Of the eighteen men that shot for the accumulation 
cup, L. Antoine proved the winner with a full score of 25. 
Whitemarsh Valley C. C. 
Whitemarsh, Pa.. Jan. 4. —Breaking 93 of his 100 
targets and having a handicap of three dead ones, Dr. 
Muller led the small but select field of gunmen who 
shot over the traps of the Whitemarsh \'alley Country 
Club to-day. Muller shot consistently from the start, but 
he had to do so to win. for Bowers, with a total of 
92, gave him a close rub for the honor. The wind 
played havoc with the blue rocks, but despite this big 
handicap, all of the marksmen finished their afternoon’s 
sport with creditable scores. Scores: 
Eagleson (10) 87; Edson (7) 89; Dr. Buck (16) 72; 
Plmstead (8) 87; Dr. Muller (3) 96; Bowers (5) 92; 
Bell (12) 63.
