Independent Gun Club. 
Easton, Pa., March 22.—The Independent Gun Club 
held a shoot this afternoon, when O. S. Sked and J. E. 
Maurer shot a match for the challenge cup representing 
the championship of the club. The match was at 75 
targets per man. Maurer won the cup, he having suc¬ 
ceeded in smashing 66 out of his 75, while Sked, the 
holder of the cup, was only able to knock down 64. 
After the race was decided the winner was challenged 
by Mr. Cross. This match will be decided in the near 
future. The day was fine for the sport of smashing tar¬ 
gets, not a cloud in the sky, but a strong wind blowing 
across the grounds in the face of the shooters making 
the targets take some very deceptive flights, made the 
shooting very hard; but with it all, some of the boys ran 
good scores. Sked and Maurer were tied for first place, 
each having broken 89 out of 100, while Markley and 
Keiper tied for second place with 85 each. 
The next shoot will be held April 19, which will be 
the first of a series of shoots for prizes. To-day’s scores:

Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., March 22.—Sixteen members of 
the Du Pont Gun Club went to Chester, Pa., to-day and 
tore holes in the Blue Rock Gun Club, of that city. 
Although the Chester marksmen were greatly strength¬ 
ened by the addition of Edward Banks, J. B. McHugh 
and Stanley Touchton, of the Du Pont Club, the Du 
Pont shooters carried off the cush. Incidentally Clyde 
Leedom, of the local team, won a sterling silver, spoon 
with the splendid score of 46 out of 50, the higli score 
for the team. The spoon was given by the Chester 
Club. The match was at 50 targets per man, the ten 
high scores to count. Although the targets were most 
difficult, due to a sharp right-quartering wind, the ten 
high score men on the winning team averaged 85 per 
cent. The total scores were 427 to 421. The team 
scores were:
