The Du Pont Gun Club. 
\V'i lmington, Del., Nov. 16.—Considering to-day the 
first Saturday of the season in Delaware, attendance at 
the Du Pont Gun Club was good. 
J. T. Roberson, at 22yds., was a luminary, breaking 
22 out of 25 in F. L. Connable silver cup event. This 
was the tenth contest, so that but two more chances 
remain-for-shooters to “get their name on the cup,” the 
winner of each contest having his name engraved on it. 
The winners thus far are: W. M. Foord, W. Edmanson, 
J. B. McHugh, A. B. Richardson, H. W. Bush and J. 
T. Roberson, once each, while Dr. Stanley Steele and H. 
P. Carlon have each scored twice. 
There are therefore eight members of the Du Pont 
Gun Club who are entitled to shoot off for final owner¬ 
ship, and this assures a good race at ICO targets after 
the next two contests have been decided. 
Eugene du Pont defeated J. B. McHugh for the 
1912 Class A cup which A. B. Richardson tried to take 
from Mr. McHugh last week. Mr. du Pont made 24 
and 23 to 23 and 22 for his opponent. Edward Banks 
has challenged the winner of this match, the match to 
be shot Nov. 23. 
J. T. Skelly was high on 100 targets, breaking 91 
from 16yds. H. P. Carlon was second with 90. 
The scores in the Connable cup event, were as fol¬ 
lows, handicap yards:

Bay Ridge, L. I., Nov. 16.—A piping wind brought 
Piping Rock to Bay Ridge to-dav, gyrating the clay 
scalers about like an aeroplane steered by a lunatic. A good 
guess was about as important as a good eye, unless the 
good orb of vision perchance was a weather eye. 
J. H. Vanderveer was high gun for the day, winning 
the take home trophy event with 89 from a free start of 
four. Monthly cup ran into a 22 tie between J. F. 
James, F. B. Stephenson and J. H. Vanderveer. C. R. 
Tames got his name on committee cup (2) 44. Jack 
Fanning, for wads only, took care in his usual gentle¬ 
man-jack way of the professional interests. The scores:

Marthasville, Mo.. Nov. 9. —The inclosed scores 
may need a little explanation. They were made at a 
match on our grounds for beef. The beef was put up 
one-half in each of two events of 10 birds each. The 
half beef was divided into six parts in order to make 
more prizes. The ties were shot one at a time, which 
accounts for the difference in the numbers shot at in 
times.

Larchmont Y. C. 
Larchmont, N. Y., Nov. 17. — Trappists formally got 
together here to-day to inaugurate the aerosaucer season 
of 1913. Ralph Spotts appeared in the role of Colonel 
Bogy, setting a score of 98 out of 100 as a stimulant 
for the present season, and perhaps some seasons to 
come. For 98 out of 100 is a pretty exalted pinnacle 
as a mark where the clays are subjected to indignities 
by the wind as they generally are at the shore traps here. 
The previous Bogy, held by Mr. Spotts and Stuart 
Scott, was 97. Strange to say, the former mark was 
made on a clear day and almost windless conditions, 
while the new record was made in a misty rain and 
decidedly uncertain winds. Spotts event winnings in¬ 
cluded: Visitors’ cup (1) 25; handicap trophy (4) 102; 
high gun 119 out of 125; accumulation cup (0) 25; a 
tie with J. Jones on November cup; with H. H. 
Childs on club cup, and with T. Lenane, J. Jones and 
C. Whiting on take-home trophy. In other words, 
Spotts won or tied on everything excepting 15-bird 
scratch event, taken by S. Smith with 14, and 10-target 
scratch, which went to J. Jones on a straight.
