Du Pont'Gun Club. 
WiT.MixGTON, Del., May 24.—As usual, to-day some 
surprises emanated from Du Pont Gun Club, the most 
interesting being a new ground record made by W. S. 
Colfax, Jr., who ran 152 straight, and broke 198 out of 
200—cussed be the two that slipped through the shot. 
Some other shooters, in fact, most of ’em, were 
spurred by the good example and broke ground (dried 
clay) recklessly. Clyde Leedom, true t ohis name, led 
’em at 100 dises with 94, seconded by Stanley Touchton 
with 91. In the fifties some good eyes were present, L. 
L. Jarrell breaking 48. C. T. Martin 47. At 25, H. P. 
Carlon ran straight, and W. J. Highfield and Dr. A. 
Patterson got 24. 
E. R. Jenkins and H. T. Reed tied at 21 in Class C, 
and W. W. Robelen and D. R. Rutter tied at 18 in 
Class D. In ()lass E, T. W. Baker made a seore of 
15 out of 25. The scores follow;

Alert G. C. 
Phillipsburg, N. j.. May 17.—The thirteenth annual 
tournament was held to-day, bringing out one of the 
largest crowds that ever attended a shoot in this local¬ 
ity. In all, there were forty-four shooters, forty-one 
finishing entire program. The total number of targets 
thrown during the day, ineluding practice events, was 
abosit 8,5(X). Despite unfavorable weather conditions, 
high scores were in evidence. H. H. Stevens was high 
for-wads-only with 144, followed by Apgar with 143, 
missing two in the last 135 shot at, and getting 99 out 
of his last 100. 
In the amateur class, Housman and Dr. F. W. 
Matthews tied for first place with 142 breaks, and in the 
shoot-off for first plaee and Du Pont trophy, Housman 
made 25 straight, while Matthews broke 21. This gave 
Housman 99 breaks out of his last 100, the ground 
record. Second high went to E. L. Wilson, of French- 
town, with 140, followed by Englert with 138, and 
Schlicher and Reiper and Maurer, each with 137.

The New Colambvs Gan Clab. 
Columbus, Ohio, May 24. —It was quite cool and 
windy this afternoon. The Stephens trophy race of 25 
targets found Mr. Snook the high man with 25 straight, 
which was a very neat performance. Mr. Snook is prac¬ 
tically one of our new shooters, having had very little 
practice with the shotgun. He has, however, done very 
creditable shooting with rifle and pistol, winning some 
splendid trophies, and his work here to-day proclaims 
that he is an all-round good shot. 
Wm Webster broke 23 in the Stephens trophy, and 
Mr. Camp 23 and Mr. Drake 23. 
The Du Pont trophy race resulted in Webster break¬ 
ing 23, which was high; Snook 21, Camp 22, Drake 20- 
and \Veinman 22 Six practice events were shot, and 
for the wind, good scores were made. 
Nearly every mail brings another inquiry about the 
“Twentieth Century Limited” shoot on Aug. 14 and 15. 
Railroad fare from all points in Ohio, round trip, are 
paid by the club, including shells free of charge, and 
all contestants from other States railroad fare, round 
trip, paid from State line points. Write for a program. 
This will be a novelty shoot, and one of the best oJ 
the season. Fred Shattuok.
