Primers that are really sure-fire, bullets and shells designed and made 
by scientific experts, standard brands of powder accurately loaded—all these 
are essentials of the finished cartridge that produces results.

Du Ponts' Birthday. 
Wilmington, Del., Dec. 16—After all the beautiful 
weather that has prevailed in Delaware ever since the fall 
gave way to winter, it was certainly hard luck on the 
management of the Du Pont Gun Club to have to put 
up with the sorry mess that was dished out to it to-day 
on the occasion of its first anniversary tournament. It 
rained nearly all day yesterday, and ’ kept it up until 
nearly noon to-day, when rain ceased, being followed 
Jater by a cold, damp fog that became a Scotch mist as 
night came. 
Under the circumstances, therefore, it was little short 
of remarkable to have fifty-three shooters take part in 
the 100 -target prize event, for which the club had secured 
five very handsome prizes, four for the amateurs and 
one for the professionals. The latter prize went to Linn 
Worthington, of Rising Sun, Md., who always shoots 
well on these grounds. He broke 96 out of his 100 , 
and was tied for first honors by the local crack, W. M. 
Foord, who had a grand chance to finish away in the 
lead, as he went out for his last 20 with a score of 79 out 
of 80, haying lost one target in his second string. 
The prizes were awarded under the Lewis class system, 
and when all the scores were in, it was found that Mr.’ 
Foord had of course the right to first prize. Second 
prize went to.W. Edmunson, of Newport, Del; C. H. 
•Simon won third prize, after an interesting shoot-off of a 
tie with Win. B. Smith, Jr.; fourth prize was won by 
Victor du Pont, who was probably more surprised than 
anybody else at his success, as he broke only 69 out of 
100 . 
It was a matter of great regret that the contest for 
the E. C. cup between George Lyon, of Durham, N. C., 
holder, and Lester S. German, of Aberdeen, Md., chal¬ 
lenger, had to be postponed until some date in the future 
not named yet. Much sympathy was expressed by all 
present with Mr. Lyon, who lost his father on Thursday 
evening last, the 14th Inst., his death being very sud¬ 
den and most unexpected. 
The dull, cheerless sky of to-day emphasized more 
strongly^ than would have been the case had the day 
been bright and sunny, the thoroughly up-to-date fur¬ 
nishing of the club house. The gloom inside the house 
was dispelled by the rays of the electric lights, which 
went into commission to-day for the first time. The 
plan to _ have the building lighted by electricity was 
only decided upon on Thursday morning, so that it was 
“going some” to have the building wired and the light- 
bulbs working by this morning. 
The office was run by Lloyd R. Lewis, who had as his 
aids Tom Chalfont, \V. A. Joslin, Secretary Doremus, 
etc., etc. Everything worked smoothly, and with three 
automatic traps to shoot over, the 5000 and odd targets 
for the main event were soon thrown. The five expert 
traps installed for the E. C. cup race were most decid¬ 
edly popular, not only with the shooters, but with the 
spectators, who, despite the inclement weather, braved 
the dampness and watched the shooting with interest. 
So popular indeed have these traps and the “expert 
rules” for shooting' become with the members of the 
Du Pont Gun Club, that it is more than likely the club 
will install them permanently. 
The scores in the prize event were as follows:

Columbus Gun Club. 
One of the nicest little shoots ever held took place 
on the Columbus Gun Club grounds on Saturday, Dec. 
16. Twenty-six shooters took part, twenty-three shooting 
through the program of 150 targets. The system failed 
to pay back by $8.70. but the targets were hard on 
account of a high wind and a dark day. H. E. Smith 
and P. A. Carfmiller were high with 135. Jim Smith 
second with 134, Coburn third, 132; Chamberlain won 
high professional with 130: Cumberland second with 98. 
The turkey shoot announced for Saturday, Dec. 23, 
is put off until Jan. 1 , where there will be plenty of 
turkeys to shoot for. Everybody invited.
