Du Pont Tournament. 
Down Wilmington way they are offering you a last 
chance to tune up for the big event in St. Louis. A two- 
day registered tournament will be shot off on Oct. 11 
and 12 at the Du Pont Gun Club. It will be a Squier 
money-back, with $100 added by the club. Program first 
day, ten 15-target events, entrance $15, sweeps optional 
and the “Wolf” event at 50 targets, entrance $4. This 
event not included in Squier money back system. All 
contestants at 18yds. Targets thrown 65 to 80yds. Divi¬ 
sion of moneys. Rose system, ratio points, 5, 3, 2, 1. 
Professionals may shoot for targets only. In the Wa- 
waset trophy event, they are eligible to win the trophy. 
Second day, same regular ten 15-target events and the 
Wawaset trophy event at 100 targets, entrance $9, op¬ 
tional sweeps, $5. This event not included in Squier 
money-back system. Division of moneys, Rose system, 
ratio, 5, 3, 2, 1. Targets in the Wawaset trophy event 
to be 1% cents each. Professionals may shoot for tar¬ 
gets only. In the Wawaset trophy event they are 
eligible to win the trophy. 
The losses at this tournament will be based on the 
regular program entrance of $30 for the two days, less 
price of targets, $6. The special events and the optional 
sweepstakes are not included in the Squier money-back 
system. 
The working out of the Squier money-back system 
means that the less skillful shot can compete in all 
regular program events of the tournament and have a 
chance to win something if he is in good form, and if 
he fails to shoot up to expectations, his sport costs him 
the pnce of the targets only. The more skillful shot lias 
a chan « of winning larger amounts than under 
the old way of adding a small amount of money to each 
event, because of the increased number of entries in 
each event thus making bigger purses to compete for, 
and from the possible surplus from the special fund, 
i i° n k s * an ^ s are not guaranteed that they will be paid 
pack the total amount of their net entrance fees, but it 
is reasonable to believe that they will be paid back in 
lull, as the statistical data in connection with tourna¬ 
ments conducted under the Squier money-back system 
snows that in each instance where the added money was 
placed in the special fund there was an amount suf¬ 
ficient to pay back the losses in full, and frequently 
there was quite a large surplus. 
in case there is a surplus in this tournament, it will 
*, e , il™ among the high gun amateurs as follows: 
*. 1 to $10, two moneys—60 to 40 per cent.; $11 to $25, 
three moneys—50, 30 and 20 per cent; $26 to $50, four

Northern Kentucky Gun Cluh. 
The club drew some bad weather for its money-back 
'shoot on Oct. 1, and the attendance of local sportsmen 
was small in consequence. More than half of the ten 
15-target events were shot in a heavy downpour of rain, 
with enough wind to seriously affect the flight of the 
targets, and the scores suffered as a result. J. S. Day, 
the Texas professional, made high score of the day, 
missing but 6 targets. He started out with a straight, 
dropped one target in each of the next six events, and 
then finished with three straights. The leading ama¬ 
teurs were George Dameron, a member of the club, and 
Ike Brandenburg, of Dayton, O., who tied on 133, a 
score below their average, but not at all bad under the 
conditions. Francis, of Harrison, O., was second with 
131. R. H. Bruns, of Brookville, Ind., came next with 
127. Other out-of-town shooters were: T. Donald, of 
Felicity, O.; Ed. Cain, of Dayton, O., and Turrell, of 
Harrison, O. The money-back purse was not large, 
amounting to $19.05, one cent for each target thrown (no 
extra entrance is charged at these shoots), but this was 
enough to pay all the losses and leave a surplus of $4.30. 
Only five of the shooters failed to win their entrance, 
their losses ranging from 65 cents to $3.80, and amount¬ 
ing to $14.75. Donald was tied with Dameron at the 
close of the sixth event, but did not remain to finish 
the program. Richards cut out some of the events on 
account of the rain, but he is not in good shape any¬ 
way, and did not keep up to his usual mark by a good 
many targets. Heckman ran against a snag in two of the 
events, which kept him from finishing with the leaders. 
Cain was off to-day, his bad start in the first event 
seemed to queer him, for he did go his regular gait in 
any of the following events. Holaday has just returned 
from a long stay in the South, and the grounds must 
have seemed strange to him, as he dropped more targets 
than is the usual thing for him. The last money-back 
shoot of the series will be held on Nov. 5, and a 
special event will be added to the regular program. 
This was omitted to-day on account of the weather.
