back system. The shoot opened at 10 A. M., and 
closed at 5:30 P. M. 
R. D. Thomas showed an 80.33 per cent, clip on his 
SO targets shot at, which was well done. 
A. E. liasmusson, shooting a 91.30 per cent, .clip, 
will be ranked among the stars as quoted by the fair 
sex, as well as Messrs. Heil and Behm. 
W. Hepner reached the 136 mark, and tied H. J. 
Schlicher. 
J. A. Depew paid us a visit and landed 123—away 
below his gait, while his comrade, Mr. Budd, of 
Lykens, reached the 127 mark. 
Englert and Silfies tied on 132 to-day. John changed 
his old standby shells to-day, which caused him to fall 
down some. George Cooper showed the boys some 
skill when he broke 124 to-day. H. W. Headman, the 
oldest man at the tiring line to-day, showed exceptional 
skill to-day, with 123 kills. 
John C. Bitterling did well with 119 in the regular 
• program, while he got 30 out of his 50 in the doubles. 
The next big event will be the Hercules Gun Club’s 
registered tournament at Temple, Pa., on Aug. 10. 
Here the Reading Eagle donates a solid bronze cup, 
standing lOin. high, elaborately decorated in silver, the 
center marking a crack target shooter in position, for 
competition to all amateurs on the full program of 150 
targets. The amateur winning this event will be the 
sole owner of same. This cup was placed on exhibition 
at Catasauqua, and many of the crack shots will be in 
attendance on Aug. 10 on the Hercules Gun Club 
grounds to compete for this cup. The program for this 
tournament is in the press now, and will be ready tor 
distribution in several days. 
Ed. H. Adams and C. H. Adams, of Reading, had 
promised to come to Catasauqua on the auto, but busi¬ 
ness prevented this. 
Lockwood B. Worden, of Harrisburg, Pa., president 
of the P. S. S. A., has submitted no excuse for ab¬ 
senting himself from this tournament, which he had 
promised Luddy to attend. Scores follow:

Echoes of New England—Delaware Shoot. 
It seldom happens that any trapshooting team race 
finishes under such exciting conditions as those which 
prevailed in the race between All-New England and 
All-Delaware at Du Pont Gun Club. Stanley Tuehton, 
ot the Du Pont Club, was the last man on the list to 
fin s sh, and he had to break 18 out of 20 to win, or 17 
to tie. When he only dusted his fifteenth target, things 
looked squally for Ihe Delawareans, as that made his 
third miss, but he broke the last five targets ar.d fin¬ 
ished with 17, the race ending in a tie. 
E. A. Staples, of Franklin, Mass., did great work, 
breaking his 100 straight in the team race; altogether, he 
made a run of 118 straight, a new club record, and 
finished with 175 out of 180, or an average of 97.2 for the 
program. 
C. F. Marden, of Salem, Mass., who broke only 89 
in the match, may be excused for some of his misses. 
He had bad luck from the start. His grip was stolen 
from him at the Boston station, and he had to purchase 
a soft collar in Wilmington. No wonder he couldn’t 
“break ’em all.” Said he: “If Staples lost his grip, 
what would Delaware?” 
Billy Foord came to his own again, scoring 97 out 
of his 100, and landing in first place on the Delaware 
team. His good work netted him a prize in the shape 
of a souvenir silver spoon. Mr. Staples, of course, won 
the spoon offered to high man on the visiting team. 
H. B. Cook, of the Seaside Hotel, Atlantic City, 
N. J., left the seashore and surf-bathing long enough to 
come over and break 170 out of 180 targets, incidentally 
winning a spoon also. His side partner, F. Plum, broke 
95 out of his last 100. 
E. C. Griffith, of Pascoag, R. I., is one of the old- 
timers who has made a decided mark on trapshooting 
records. Among other things worthy of note that he has 
done at the traps was his double win of the two Grand 
American Handicaps in 1901—the live-bird G. A. H. and 
the clay target G. A. H., both shot at Interstate Park, 
Queens, L. I., N. Y. He broke 95 out of 100 from 
19yds. when he won the target event, and beat seventy- 
four other shooters. Last Saturday his best work was 
done on waffles during breakfast at the Wilmington 
Country Club. 
J. L. Snow, of Boston, was as his name implies, the 
coolest man on the ground, despite the great heat. The 
only sign of warmth that he displayed was when he 
realized that his team had needed but one more target 
to win out, and that his score was only 87. 
A. B. Richardson and J. H. Minnick, both Dela¬ 
wareans, and good shots as well, tied for the spoon 
offered to the local man, making highest total on the 
180 targets in the program. 
Bridgeton, N. J., was well represented by genial 
John Morris, C. E. Platt and S. E. Shull. Morris broke 
A man who travels the distance and incurs the expense 
generally necessary to get into big game hunting country 
should not run the risk of having his time, money and 
effort all go for naught by taking a rifle or cartridges that 
may fail him at the supreme moment. The surest way to 
guard against such a disappointing experience is by 
equipping with a Winchester rifle and Winchester make of 
cartridges. They come as near to being infallible as 
guns and ammunition can be made. Not only are 
they dependable, but they are made in calibers 
suitable for hunting all kinds of game. Remember

91 out of his last 100, and 162 out of 180, but said he had 
just as much fun as those who broke more targets. 
G. N. Proctor, of Boston, one of the visitors, de¬ 
clared several times during the day that he was abso¬ 
lutely certain he had a hat when he came to Wilming¬ 
ton, although none could be found on the grounds that 
he could claim as his. On the way to the Station in 
the evening it was discovered hung up in the top of 
the automobile in which he had ridden out to the 
grounds in the morning. Mr. Proctor thus left on the 
Colonial Express for Boston later in the day without a 
stain upon his character, and with his hat upon his head. 
That the shooting was decidedly high class is shown 
by the fact that out of the forty-five shooters who shot 
through the entire program of 180 targets, no less than 
twenty-seven of them made better than 90 per cent.

Marshall Gun Club. 
Marshall, Mo., July 4. —Two days’ good shooting 
was result of our registered tournament, finished here

ting 146 on first day and 149 on second, a total of 295 
out of 300. The weather was clear and hot, and while 
the attendance was not large, it was enthusiastic.
