Dupont Trap Shooting Club. 
Wilmington, Delaware, August 29, 1914. 
Two big attractions were staged at the duPont Trap¬ 
shooting Club. The first of three contests for the 
Frank L. Connable Cup and the Delaware Open State 
Championship trophy, between A. B. Richardson, hold¬ 
er and Edward Banks, challenger. In the first squad 
to shoot the scores turned in by William Foord, a 22- 
yard man, and J. B. McHugh, a 21-yard man, were the 
highest. Both tied on 43 out of 50, each getting 21 
out of 25 the first time he shot and 22 out of 25 the 
second time. A. B. Richardson, a 22-yard man, broke 
23 out of 25 and 22 out of 25, for a total of 45, which 
placed him high, and gave him the first leg on the 
trophy. J. J. Magaheran started with 21, but came 
back the second round with 23, lor a total of 44 out 
of 50. Score:

DELAWARE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH. 
The race for the Delaware Open State Championship 
was not decided until the last 25 target event. In this 
contest each man competed at too targets, 16 yards rise, 
and the prize was the Delaware Open State Champion¬ 
ship Cup which has been in possession of A. B. 
Richardson since the Delaware State shoot on May 29 
and 30 last. At that time Richardson won the cup with 
a score of 96 out of 100, and was closely followed by 
Edward Banks, who turned in a card pf 95 out of 100. 
In the match yesterday. Banks was in hi'S best form, and 
in addition to breaking 96 in the championship race 
he scored 49 out of 50 in practice. His total on 150 
targets was 145, or a percentage of 96.67. Banks went 
straight in the first event, dropped his twenty-sixth 
taiget, they again went straight until his sixty-seventh 
target which he dropped. He also lost his sixty-eighth 
and seventieth targets, and broke the last 30 clean. 
Richardson dropped his eighteenth, forty-first, forty- 
sixth, fifty-ninth, seventy-fourth, eighty-fifth, ninety-sec¬ 
ond and ninety-fourth birds, and all through the match 
his shooting was characterized by the lack of snap and 
steadiness which he usually displays. The match was 
shot in four events of 25 targets each, and the scores 
by events were:

Richardson’s best opportunities to win were in the 
second and third events, when by going straight he 
could have taken the lead, but, at that, he would have 
bad to shoot in his best form to retain it, as Banks was 
on his toes all the time. In a former State champion¬ 
ship race he broke 99 out of 100. 
It is likely that another match for the open cham¬ 
pionship will be held in the near future as W. Schuy¬ 
ler Colfax, Jr., has placed a challenge with the club 
officials, and it is possible that the match will be pulled 
off in a month or six weeks. 
The challenge match between J. W. Anderson, Jr., 
and W. C. Corey for Eugene duPont Class C Chal¬ 
lenge Cup was won by Anderson with 41. Score:

The match for the Class B Eugene duPont Challenge 
Cup which was scheduled to be shot between the Wood 
brothers, Dudley S., holder, and William G., chal¬ 
lenger, was postponed on account of the rain. They 
will get together in a week or so. 
The match between John H. Minnick, holder of the 
Class A. Eugene duPont Challenge Cup, and Harry P. 
Carlon, challenger, which was postponed last week, had 
to again be set forward, as Mr. Carlon was out of the 
city. 
The scores for the entire day, were very good in 
most instances, and many of the gunners were very 
well satisfied in their efforts to waylay the elusive blue 
rocks. To W. Schuyler Colfax, Jr., and Edward Banks, 
went the honors of making the best scores of the day. 
Colfax turned in a card of 98 out of 100 and ran the 
last 88 straight without a miss. 
A. B. Richardson turned in a score of 93 in the 100 
bird race. Total scores for the day:

Daniel O’Connell—The Liberator" 
jmm 
O LD ERIN has given the world many a genius and many a Lover of Liberty, but none greater 
1 than the eloquent O’Connell. This noble Irishman unselfishly devoted ~ 
every moment of his life to regain the Freedom of his Fatherland. His oratory, 
because of its flaming earnestness, exercised a powerful influence over the House of Com¬ 
mons and hastened many reforms for Ireland. Daniel O’Connell was the first to realize 
the irresistible strength ofa union of millions of Irishmen, and to this end he labored 
night and day. Hug,e mass meetings were everywhere organized throughout Ireland 
and addressed by the masterful O’Connell. When confident of success and with victory 
insight he was arrested and condemned to prison. When liberated his splendid constitu¬ 
tion was shattered, but he continued until his dying hour to work and pray for Irish 
liberty. It is needless to say that Daniel O’Connell was opposed to any Prohibitory 1 
legislation which invaded the Natural Rights of Man. He would no more vote for 
such tyrannous enactments than will our millions of Irish-American citizens. 
They know that there is no evil in the barley brews and light wines of their fathers 
—EVIL ONLY IS IN THE MAN WHO MISUSES THEM. For 57 years Anheuser- 
Busch have honestly brewed honest beers, and they are proud of the popu¬ 
larity their great brand Budweiser enjoys with those of Irish blood. Our Irish 
citizens have helped to make our nation great among the nations of the world. 
Seven thousand, five hundred people are daily required to keep pace with the nat¬ 
ural demand for Budweiser.

A feature of the day’s shooting was the work of 
Master C. Reybold, son of C. C. Reybold. He is six¬ 
teen years old, and this was his first attempt at shoot¬ 
ing blue rocks, or anything for that matter. Under the 
able instruction of W. A. Joslyn and his father wlho 
is an old shooter he scored n out of 25, and it is 
predicted that he will be heard from frequently here¬ 
after. C. C. Reybold hails from Pennsylvania, and is 
a well known target shot.
