t arbnvilk- Gun Club held their annual shoot, at which 
It?,, J! owmg we Te represented: Shelbyville, Bunker 
Hill, Carrollton. White Hall and Nilwood. Although the 
thermometer reached 101 in the shade, the weather other¬ 
wise was ideal, and the scores made, while not up to the 
mark in some cases, were as good as could have been 
expected. 
I he Carlinville Gun Club is made up of a bunch of 
the finest, and their entertainment of the visiting enthus¬ 
iasts is seldom equaled and never excelled. The regular 
program consisted of ten events of 15 targets each, in 
which the high guns were Daley and Hamlin, each scor¬ 
ing 138 out of 150. J. B. Warren, representing the Rem¬ 
ington Arms Co., scored 138 out of 150, and A. H. Am- 
mann. for the Winchester Arms Co., broke 142. In the

Du 
Pont 
Gun Club. 
Fifty marksmen took part in the fall opening shoot 
of the Du Pont Gun Club, Sept. 14. One of the princi¬ 
pal events was an exhibition match between Homer 
Clark, of Upper Alton, Ill., and W. S. Colfax, Jr., of 
the Du Pont Club. It was won by Mr. Clark, who was 
in excellent form. He broke 49 out of 50, while Mr. 
Colfax made a score of 45. 
E. S. Richards, H. H. Sloan and L. C. Willis were 
among the visiting shooters who made good scores, as 
did also O. Groff, of Avondale. Pa. 
W. A. Joslyn, who has been shooting at a great clip 
lately, distinguished himself by breaking 49 out of 50. 
The Coleman du Pont spoon contest was the first 
event on the program. It had a large entry list, interest 
having increased since the addition of Class E for 
novices. 
The second event was for merchandise prizes, and 
created considerable enthusiasm, especially the manner 
in which the prizes were drawn. Thirty-one contested 
in this event, and there were nine prizes. The nine 
high men each made (with added targets) perfect scores 
of 25 
The final contest for the 1911 Class D challenge 
cup brought out nine of the ten men eligible for this 
event. It was a handicap affair from 18 to 16yds., and 
was won by T. A. MacMullen, who scored 41 out of 50, 
shooting from the 18yd. mark. The cup now becomes 
his property. 
Ten teams contested in the Eugene E. du Pont team 
trophy shoot. Four teams with added targets made 
perfect scores, thereby gaining four points each. The 
scores of the four teams follow: 
W. H. Hitchcok and N. K. Smith 50; Clyde Leedom 
and Eugene du Pont 50: W. M. Hammond and L. L. 
Jarrell 50; R. F. Willis and U. H. Hoopes 50: W. Ed-

Du Pont Doings. 
October promises to be a busy month at the Du 
Pent Gun Club. In addition to the regular contests for 
the Connable cup, the Eugene E. du Pont team trophies, 
the different class cups, etc., as well as a match between 
A. B. Richardson and ’j. H. Minnick for the champion¬ 
ship of the State of Delaware, a team of at least ten 
men will visit Boston for the return match between 
All-Delaware and All-New England on Oct. 5. 
Oct. 12 is in the nature of a double bill. Being the 
last day of Old Home Week, the management of the 
club will offer a special trophy. Old Home Week Cup. 
to be competed for at 50 targets per man, open to all 
amateurs, and with a handicap allowance of misses as 
breaks, and an entrance fee of the price of the targets, 
50 cents. The same day a delegation from the home 
club will visit the grounds of the Highland Gun Club 
at Edgehill, Pa., to take part in the opening shoot of 
the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League, all the clubs in 
the league having agreed to meet on the grounds on 
that date to open the season in a fitting manner. 
On the trip to Boston for the match on Oct. 5, 
ten or more of the best shots in the club will be the 
guests of the Boston Athletic Association. Among those 
who will go are W. M. Foord, J. H. Minnick. J. B. Mc¬ 
Hugh, A. B Richardson, H. P. Carlon, Eugene du 
Tont and enough of the other good amateur shots of the 
club to make things interesting for the New Englanders. 
It will be remembered that when the New England team 
visited Wilmington on June 29 last, the two teams made 
a tie race of it, both teams breaking 919 out of 1000 
targets. This fact of itself promises a good race, and 
the management of the club will do its best to get to¬ 
gether the best team possible to make the trip to 
Boston on the night of Oct. 4. 
Last week a delegation from the Plug Hat Associa¬ 
tion, of Elizabeth, N. J., an organization composed of 
prominent (Elizabethans called upon T. E. Doremus, 
secretary of the Du Pont Gun Club, for the loan of the 
gun club's shooting grounds and rifle range for Oct. 31, 
when the members of the Plug Hat Association propose 
visiting this city in force. The committee was com¬ 
posed of Messrs. Fred Bender, Fred Grummart, Patrick 
McGurn and Frederick Krauss. The members of the 
Association will compete for prizes on the rifle ranges, 
and the Du Pont Gun Club will put up a special prize 
to be shot for by such of the visitors as care to try 
their hands at the flying clay targets. The association 
visited Wilmington a year ago, and were so well pleased 
with the day’s outing that they have decided to give it 
another try this year.

in this event last year declared it was one of the most

traps will be in readiness. There will be plenty of prac¬ 
tice shooting for all, and special events will be arranged 
for those who do not qualify. Every trapshooter within 
a short radius of Chicago should make it an object to 
attend this shoot.

shooter in the United States desiring to attend. Thomas 
A. Marshall has been selected as toastmaster. The 
trophies of the League will be presented to the winners
