of victories for users of Peters Shells and Cartridges—far too numerous to record here in full. The few items that follow 
will suffice to indicate the kind of work that can be done, and is being done every day with the P brand:

Du Pont Gun Club. 
WilmUngton, Del., March 15.—To the victors belong 
the spoils, particularly in trapshooting, where one must 
spoil targets to become victor, and the greater the spoil¬ 
age, the greater the chances of being victor, and so it 
went at the great big jolly reunion at Du Pont' Gun 
Club to-day, and there were fifty-three victors, and to 
each came a fat, luscious dinner that satisfied mentally 
and physically. Imagine it, if you are properly en¬ 
dowed with imaginative powers, 105 shooters at a c'.ub 
shoot, and on a rainy day at that! The entrants were 
divided into two teams—Reds and Blues. Captain VV. 
J. Highfield led the Reds, while H. P. Carlon headed 
the Blues. 
Sixty-two shooters registered their names on the 
score sheets as members of the Red team, while fifty- 
three was the strength of Captain Carlon’s regiment. 
Thus a total of 105, all told, took part in the after¬ 
noon’s engagement, which resulted in an easy win for 
the Reds by the score of 1,005 to 884. The conditions 
provided that no matter how many men there were on 
each team, only an equal number of scores were counted. 
Thus of the sixty-two Red hungers, only the scores of 
the fifty-three high men were counted, and to each of 
these went a full feed at Hotel Du Pont. 
Scores did not rule high, the weather conditions not 
being favorable to straight scores. In fact, in the team 
race only one straight score of 25 was made, and that 
was hung up by .1. T. Skelly. Four 24s, seven 23s and 
nine 22 s, made up a total of twenty-one men who broke 
22 or better out of 25, an average way below what is 
to be expected generally from the high class of shooters 
who were present. 
Those who scored 20 or better for the Red team 
were: J. T. Skelly 25, J. H. Minnick, L. L. Jarrell, L. 
Z. Lawrence and H. Linn Worthington 24; L. R. Beau¬ 
champ and W. M. Armstead, 23; Edward Banks, 'Vernon 
Williams and W. M. Hammon^ 22; Dr. H. G. Buck- 
master, J. G. Highfield, J. B. Grier, E. R. Galvin and 
W. F. Jensen, 21; J. A. McMullen, M. Mitchell, Clyde 
Leedom, J. A. McKelvey, W. Hinkson, Dr. Arthur 
Paterson and W. Swayne, 20. 
The men who scored 20 or better for the Blue team 
were: L. S. German, W. M. Foord, W. S. Colfax, Jr., 
P. D. Guest and D. J. Dougherty, 23; E. C. Harring¬ 
ton, C. T. Martim J. P. Groome, C. E. Springer, A. B. 
Richardson and D. Lindsay, 22; N. K. Smith, F. H. 
Springer, H. P. Carlon, J. J. Magahern and E. E. du 
Pont, 21; S. T. Newman, W. A. Joslyn, G. H. Simon, 
H. T Reed and H. C, McClane, 20. 
A special 100-target race was shot after the team 
race, several prominent professionals taking part. Neaf 
Apgar, of New York, and H. L. Worthington, of Ris¬ 
ing Sun, Md., tied for high on 94; L. S. German and 
W. S. Colfax, Jr., were next with 92; A. B. Richard¬ 
son and J. A. McKelvey came in third place with 90. 
The other scores were: Edward Banks and W. N. 
Armstead, 86 ; W. M. Hammond and E. A. W. Everitt, 
84; J. T. Skelly, 82. 
The scores made by the 105 shooters who took part 
in the main event were as follows, each man shooting 
at 25 targets:

THE DINNER. 
And that dinner was some rhetorical lunch. They 
couldn’t “block the seer,” Doremus, and he pulled a 
play on the names of the club members, by virtue of 
which he endeavored to show why Du Pont Gun Club 
should be the best in the world. He got away with it 
so well that the waiters began serving ice cream in 
blue rocks. J. T. Skelly said a lot of things that were 
not “lost” on the audience, and up to this time no 
“dead” ones appeared among the suppers. A recita¬ 
tion by Dr. Willis Linn and an original verse by George 
Frank Lord led up to some “for targets only” vaude¬ 
ville; anyhow, the enjoyment of the occasion is be'st 
expressed by the remarks of one of the last to leave- 
one who had paid—said he: “I’m no great shooter like 
Banks, German, Skelly and the rest of the crowd to 
whom ‘pull’ and ‘dead’ are synonymous, but if I 
knew I couldn’t put two pieces of coal out of a big 
shovelful into a 30-inch furnace door at two yards, I’d 
have shot so as to get into this browsing pasture—s’grait, 
s’fine, s’pully—g’nite, gladameecha. 
Baltusrol Golf Club. 
Newark, N. J., March 15. — De Profundus gasped the 
targets as each shooter called pull to-day, for fog made 
the shooter a stranger to the clay that hustled close to 
the hand that blue rocks the atmosphere. A lot of 
anti-fog scores were made. B. C. Fincke tripped away 
with two events, the March cup handicap (2) 42, and 
Cowperthwaite trophy in doubles (1) 16. Take-home 
trophy went to Lloyd (1) 23, while club championship 
leg stumbled to_G. A. Williams on 24. 
Next week the home team will shoot a match with 
Essex Country Club. To-day’s scores:
