elected as follows: President, J. F. Labell; Vice-Presi¬

L’nder date of Sept. 30, Secretary Ludwig writes: 
“The registered county shoot of the Hercules Gun Club, 
of Temple, Pa., to be held on Oct. 12, under the 
management of Lloyd R. Lewis, promises to be a banner 
tournament. The program calls for 150 targets, with an 
extra event of 10 pairs of doubles. Hoff & Bros., of 
Reading, offer a gold medal trophy to the winner of the 
county championship of 50 targets. Handsome trophies 
will be awarded to the high and low guns on the regu¬ 
lar program.” Programs may be had by addressing the 
secretary at 936 North Second street, Reading, Pa. 
*

Secretary. 
When Fred Gilbert raid to Lester German the other 
day that the two of them would shoot any other two 
men in the world a race at 50 pairs (100 targets), and 
when Lester said to Fred, “Table’s set,” they probably 
had but little idea that their remarks would soon receive 
serious attention, or attention that meant business. Such, 
however, was the case, because just as soon as they 
heard of Fred’s remark and Lester’s reply, Harry Free¬ 
man said to Jimmy Day, “How about you and I?” What 
Jimmy Day said is not recorded, but it must have been 
satisfactory, because the two of them are booked to shoot 
Gilbert and German a race under the above conditions 
on Monday, Oct. 14 next, on the grounds of the Cin¬ 
cinnati Gun Club. The date set, being the day before 
the opening of the Post Season tournament on those 
grounds, makes it most convenient, as unquestionably 
many of the intending contestants at the Post Season 
tournament will want to be on hand that day to get 
some practice ahead of time, and also see the match be¬ 
tween the four crack “double-target” shots. The match 
will of course be shot in the afternoon. “Table’s set.” 
Who’ll do the carving and the eating?

Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Sept. 28.—The interclub team race 
set for to-day between the members of the West Chester 
Gun Club, of West Chester, Pa., and the Du Pont Gun 
Club, of this city, was unfortunately too one-sided to be 
all that it had been the wish of the management of both 
clubs that it should be. The West Chester men were 
unable to get together a full team to visit the local men, 
and for that reason were at a decided disadvantage. In 
addition, their captain, F. M. Eachus, one of the best 
of the old-time shots in this section of the country, had 
to stand on the side lines and do his part refereeing, 
owing to a broken left arm. 
Only nine visitors all told showed up, and as no less 
than forty-two of the local gunners were on hand, the 
handicap was too much, as the rules called for “best 
ten scores to count.” Since only nine men came from 
West Chester, only “nine best scores of the Wilming- 
tonians counted, but that “nine best” totaled 406 out of 
45C to 327 for the West Chester men, or an advantage for 
the home team of 79 targets. 
Eugene du Pont kept up his recent good work, and 
was high man for the Du Pont Gun Club, scoring 49 
out of 50. Tied for second place were J. B. McHugh 
and H. P. Carlon, while IT. W. Bush and J. H. Min- 
niek both scored 45. W. Edmunson, H. T. Reed and 
W. M. Armistead made the team with 44 apiece, while 
Henry Winchester was the ninth man on the team with 
43. There were many other members of the Du Pont 
Gun Club below him. but his score just made the team 
total one target better than an even 90 per cent. 
C. J. Happerset was high man on the West Chester 
team, and won the silver souvenir spoon donated by the 
local club to the high man on the visiting team. C. 
Barnes was next to him with 42. The scores of team

*Not eligible to count in the team race. 
The last seven shooters shot at 25 targets only. 
In connection with the first 25 targets shot at in the 
team race, the weekly contests for the Coleman du Pont 
spoons was decided. Eugene du Pont, not being eligible 
under the club rules for a spoon, J. H. Minnick and 
J. B. McHugh tied for the Class A spoon on 23 out of 
25. McHugh won on the shoot-off, which was held 
when the light was very poor, with the score of 21 to 
20. H. W. Bush and Clyde Leedom tied for the Class B 
spoon with scores of 24 apiece, and decided the tie by the 
toss of a coin, Bush being the lucky man and winning 
the spoon. In Class C Dr. A. C. Patterson and S. J. 
Newman are tied with 21 each, the tie having to be 
shot off at some future date. H. T. Reed with 21 won 
the Class D spoon, J. M. Turner in Class E winning 
with 13. 
The challenge contest between Ed. Banks, holder of 
the Class A cup, and VV. M. Hammond, challenger, was 
decided in favor of Hammond, after a tie of 43 out of 
50. Hammond won on the shoot-off, with 23 to 22. 
Eugene E. du Pont has challenged Mr. Hammond, and 
the match will be shot off shortly. 
Many good scores were made during the afternoon, 
weather conditions being about perfect. J. T. Skelly led 
the classy bunch with 98 out of 100 shot at. 
Several of the gun club members present signified 
their intention of going to Boston next Friday night for 
the purpose of taking part in the All-Delaware and All- 
New England team race, to be shot the following day, 
on the grounds of the Paleface Gun Club, at Welling¬ 
ton, Mass. From present appearances the team will be 
able to render a good account of itself, although one 
or two of the best shots in the club cannot make the 
trip. 
Ml. Kisco Gun Club. 
Mr. Kisc-o, N. Y., Sept. 28.—The second registered 
tournament of the Mt. Kisco Gun Club was held here 
to-day, and was most successful. The weather conditions 
in the morning were disagreeable, rain delaying the 
shooting, and keeping many shooters home. Sixty-three 
shooters faced the traps bravely. Five professionals were 
present, assisting the cashier’s office and outside work. 
1'he attendance in the afternoon was very good, many 
ladies from town and out of town coming to the grounds 
to see Mrs. • L. G. Vogel, Miss Jessie Thorpe and Miss 
L. Boles shoot. Amateur high gun for the day was won 
by J. Martin; M. W. Wynne second; T. IL Lawrence 
third. PI. H. Stevens was high professional. Scores:

Birmingham Gun Club. 
Twenty shooters were at the Birmingham Gun Club 
Friday and Saturday, Sept. 20 and 21. Mrs. Garl shot 
high on Friday, and John Warren was high percentage 
on Saturday, dropping but 2 out of his 50 shot at. Some 
of the beginners are shooting good, considering the 
amount of practice they have had. 
Mr. Ragsdale, of Bessemer, paid us a visit. Mr. 
Skelly has given a Du Pont fob for the Saturday after¬ 
noon shooters, and the beginners are very enthusiastic 
about winning it. The first 45 targets each Saturday to 
count on the fob, with sliding added bird handicap. 
On Saturday, Oct. 26, the Birmingham Gun Club 
will give their annual class shoot, which will be followed 
by a distance handicap match at 100 targets, with $1 or 
more added for each entrance. Trophy to winner.
