The Du Pont Gun Club. 
Ed. Banks, the pride of Delaware, and the holder of 
the State championship, lost the title last Saturday to 
L. D. Willis. The shoot was decidedly uninteresting. 
Banks was awav off form, while Willis shot consistently, 
though not brilliantly throughout. The final score was: 
Banks 88. Willis 93 out of 100. 
J. B. McHugh challenged the winner. 
Sixty-seven contestants took part in the regular shoot 
and some fine scoring was seen. A. B. Richardson made 
a 24, and W. S. Colfax, Jr., of Haskill, N. J.. made a 
straight 25. S. Touchton and T. W. Keithley also 
made a 24 each. 
The two two-man team contests also were interesting, 
though the scores were poor. 
In the T. Coleman du Pont merchandise event. Class 
A was tied for at 24 by A. B. Richardson, E. E. du 
Pont and S. Touchton. Class B was tied for at 22 by 
Victor du Pont and H. P. Carlon. Dr. A. Patterson 
won Class C, breaking 23, while Arthur J. Curley took

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Sept. 23.—The twenty-one shooters and 
quite a number of spectators who came to our grounds 
to-day certainly enjoyed a splendid afternoon, for it was 
ideal weather, and most all of the marksmen who took 
their turns at the traps recorded good scores. Joe Barto 
led off in the practice event by breaking his 25 straight, 
G. D. Earl following closely with a score of 24, while 
May and Ed. Graham broke 23 each. 
In event No. 1, Graham topped the list, with a per¬ 
fect score of 50, Barto being the runner-up with 49, 
MacLachlan taking third place with 48. 
Event No. 2 returned MacLachlan the winner when he 
broke 49 from the 21yd. mark, Ed. Graham being next 
in line with 47, while Sharp broke 42. Earl went 25 
straight in an extra event at 25 targets, Bue taking sec¬ 
ond place, while Mrs. Cutler broke 21. 
MacLachlan and Davis both put up good scores on 
doubles, the former breaking 43 out of 24 pairs, while 
Graham led the field in the first 12 pairs with 21 breaks; 
MacLachlan broke 20, Davis and Sharp each scoring 19. 
MacLachlan lost only one target out of the second 12 
pairs, Daving running him a close second with a score 
of 22. Graham dropped down to 18, Sharp 17 and 
Fetherston 15.

On Wednesday afternoon W. S. Cutler, Ira Gardner 
and A. B. Swartz, the latter from Frankfort, Ind.. took 
a run out to run off a few frames at the traps. Scores 
were made as follows: W. S. Cutler, 16, 21, 21; Ira 
Gardner, 17, 17, 21; A. B Swartz, 9, 12, 18. In the first 
frame Cutler was trying out a new barrel on his field 
gun. This was Swartz’s first attempt at breaking tar¬ 
gets, and he was well pleased with his success. 
Sept. 24.—The heavy, dark clouds of this morning did 
not give promise of a verv pleasant afternoon for shoot¬ 
ing, and only eighteen shooters appeared at our park 
and they had just got started on the first frame, when a 
drizzling rain started in and a cold wind from the 
east made it most disagreeable. Although it stopped 
raining later on it was quite dark, and when they were 
shooting event No. 2 the targets were hard to see. 
Flewelling, Thwaite and Keller each broke 24 out of 
25 in the practice event, while Shrigley, F. Meisner and 
Wilcox each broke 23, L. Meisner and George each 
scoring 22. Flewelling was going at a fine clip in event 
No. 1, and broke 49 out of the 50. and Thwaite was close 
behind him with a score of 47, Wilcox being third with 
46. Thwaite gathered in 46 from 21yds. in the handi¬ 
cap event, while Bue picked off 43 from 18yds. Thwaite 
again was at the lead in an extra 25 with a score of 24, 
L. Meisner and Wilcox each breaking 23, while Mrs. 
Cutler broke 19.

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
Half a dozen members took part in the weekly shoot 
on Sept. 30, and as many more were present, but took 
no active part in the sport. It was an ideal fall day, 
with just enough crispness in the air to make outdoor 
exercise a pleasure. Most of the shooters were anxious 
for practice, which should put them in trim for the 
coming sport afield after Bob White, and indulged in 
several “field shooting” events. Standing about 10yds. 
in front of the trap house, they shot at targets thrown 
over their heads, at the pleasure of the puller. It was 
unknown traps and angles, without a doubt, and guns 
were held as when walking up a bevy of quail. Schaefer 
did fine work in these events, and repeatedly “wiped the 
eye” of his shooting companion, breaking targets which 
the latter had missd. The others also did well, account¬ 
ing for more “birds” than when on the 16yd. mark.

Sleepy Hollow Country Club. 
Scarborough-on-Hupson, N. Y., Sept. 27.—The at¬ 
tention of the members is called to the opening of clay- 
pigeon shooting on the grounds of the club. A battery 
of five traps, with the latest electric attachment, per¬ 
mitting the instantaneous release of the birds upon the 
command “Pull,” has been installed in the field imme¬ 
diately below the west terrace on the club house. It 
is hoped that the ladies as well as the gentlemen of the 
club will become interested and participate in this fine 
sport, which now forms a successful feature of many 
country clubs. Mr. J. S. Fanning, one of the crack 
pigeon shots of America, who represented this country 
in several contests abroad, has kindly consented to spend 
Friday afternoon ’ of this week and every afternoon of 
next week (except Saturday) at the club, to initiate be¬ 
ginners and explain the finer points of trapshooting. 
To encourage immediate competition, the president of 
the club offers a handicap cup, to be shot for on the last 
Saturday in October, the 28th. Scores made previous to 
that date will be used in determining the handicaps. 
The arrangements regarding this contest to be announced 
later. Executive Committee.
