Peters regular length and regular wadding, give perfect pattern at any distance from 16 to 23 yards. 
Harve Dixon won the GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP with them June 24 th, 1911 , from 20 yards—the first time this great 
event was ever won from this distance. 
Remember, too, that PETERS SHELLS will shoot 100 $ in any standard make of gun—no special combination necessary.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 29.—Schedule of high scores 
in race for the president’s cup. It is perhaps interesting 
to note that going back two or four yards did not serve 
to reduce the winning scores below what they were at 
tlie original distance. In several instances the reverse 
was true:

After Dixon had again excelled in practice and Parry 
had annexed the trophy, all hands assembled in the 
dining room to enjoy a substantial spread laid by Presi¬ 
dent Moller, in celebration of his birthday. Good cigars, 
a. little fizz and speech-making closed the festivities for 
the day.

Aug. 5.—Target shooting, like all other activities of 
man, is primarily a mental process. So the frame of 
mind in which one faces the trap and calls “pull” has 
much to do with the result. (This subject will be treated 
at length in the promised “Manual of Target Shooting,” 
by Has Been.) 
Thus a week ago Edmundson, while getting ready for 
the cup handicap, declared he could not break targets 
from the 19yds. mark and his score seemed to justify the 
assertion. To-day he approached the same conditions in 
a different frame of mind and broke 46 out of 50, getting 
tlie last 30 straight. Dr. Britton beat him by one and 
had a run of 35. In practice Britton was again in front 
with 59 out of 60, including a straight of 44. Stitle was 
second in practice with 92,5 per cent, and a straight to 
his credit. 
Next Saturday afternoon there will be shooting of 
corks and speeches and a good time generally on the oc¬ 
casion of the formal presentation to Mr. Parry of the 
president’s cup, which goes to him as a reward of skill 
and endurance in the competition which covered a period 
of seven months. The good shots and good fellows 
whom he defeated will be 
there and say 
they are 
glad 
of it. That is 
because 
of the man.

Lehigh Rod and Gun Club. 
Bethlehem, Pa. Aug. 5.—At a blue rock shoot of the 
Lehigh Rod and Gun Club, to-day, there were ten good 
events, Fluck and Smith each breaking 116 blue rocks. 
The DuPont Gun Club. 
\V. M. Foord successfully defended his title to the 
State championship of Delaware recently at the regular 
weekly shoot of the Du Pont Gun Club, and, despite the 
rain, same off with an excellent tally. Eugene E. du 
Pont shot against Foord. and the result was a break of 
97 out of 100 for Foord and 91 for Du Pont. 
In the first set of 25 the two men shot a tie at 24. In 
the second 25, Foord shot straight through the tally, 
while Du Pont lost two birds. In the third, they again 
tied away at 24 breaks, but Du Pont fell badly in the 
last quarter and dropped five more against only one lost 
by Foord. The rain seemed to interfere with Du Pont’s 
work, though Foord shot as if the day was of the best. 
Fifty-one contestants were out to take part in the 
weekly shoot, and fair scores were made, considering the 
inclement weather. 
In the Coleman du Pont merchandise event, Class 1 
was omitted. Class 2 was taken by Henry Winchester 
with a straight run of 25. H. P. Carlon and C. D. 
Rogers tied at 22 in Class 3, and E. H. Anderson and 
Dr. H. Betts tied at 13 in Class 4. Many spectators 
were present. The scores were: 
T. F. Doremus 21, D. A. Grier 16, N. K. Smith 21,
