The Result of Over a Century’s Experience 
yC 
Perfection in powder-making is only achieved by exercising the most 
scrupulous care in the selection and preparation of raw materials, 
employing skilled workmen exclusively, and using only the most 
improved modern mechanical equipment. 
This is the Du Pont method and accounts for the unequaled repu¬ 
tation among sportsmen enjoyed by the Du Pont brands of Smoke¬ 
less Shotgun Powders. Two of these brands that are in high favor 
among shooters are 
«.3. PAT. Off* 
(Bulk) 
A perfect shotgun powder with light recoil. 
Unlike other powders of light recoil, Schultze 
gives high velocity and remarkable patterns. 
• v*? 
(Bulk) 
Hard Grain—Smokeless—Uniform. Requires 
no special wadding to make it do its best. 
Loaded just as easily as Black Pow'der. “The 
Old Time Favorite.’’ 
These powders positively will not pit the gun barrels.

ESTABLISHED 1802 
Highland Gun Club’s New Program. 
There were present at this shoot twenty-eight shooters. 
In event No. 1, sterling silver spoon was won by high 
gun and high visitor. 
In the straightaway event, five men received 3 points 
each; seven men 2 points each, and three men one point 
each. Under class system these men are distributed 
through each of the four classes, thus enabling those 
in each class to have a chance for the trophy. 
fn the memorial event. Meehan, Sr., defeated Landis, 
Sr., receiving. 2 points; Harkins then defeated Meehan, 
Sr., receiving 2 points; and Landis, Sr., defeated Grif¬ 
fith, receiving 1 point. 
In the class period events two Class A men are tied, 
one man within 1 tar.get of the leaders and one man 
within 4 targets of the leaders, leaving ample oppor¬ 
tunity for changes in position and assuring close con¬ 
tests right through the entire first period of three months. 
In Class B, four men are within 5 targets of the leader. 
Precisely the same can be said in all the classes as in 
Class A as to opportunities for contests during the 
entire period. In Class C, nine, men are within 5 targets 
of the leader. In Class D, three men are within 5 
targets of the leader. It will be seen that on account of 
classification, members of all degrees of skill have op¬ 
portunities to win a trophy and the interest of close 
contests. 
In championship event, fourteen men are within 5 
targets of the leader, and of course, being a champion¬ 
ship, it is absolutely a question of skill for the entire 
year, and there are many opportunities for changes in 
position. 
In the club championship there are eleven men within 
3 targets of the leader. The same may be said of this 
double championship, as the individual championship. 
In the classes for the double targets for first period 
in Class A, three men are within 3 targets of the leader. 
In Class B, four men are within 3 targets of the leader. 
In Class C, nine men are within 3 targets of the leader. 
In Class D, three men are within 3 targets of the leader. 
In the expert championship, there are ten men within 
2 targets of the leaders. This, of course, is a yearly event 
and gives ample opportunity for changes. 
In the expert events for the periods in Class A, there 
is only one target separating the leader and the last 
man. In Class B, 1 target separates the leader and the 
last man. In Class C, 2 targets separates three men and 
the leader, and in Class D, 1 target separates the leader 
and the last man. A careful study of this condition in¬ 
dicates the fact that the object of the program will un¬ 
questionably be accomplished, that object giving every 
one opportunity to_ win trophies and at the same time 
give them the excitement and interest of contests with 
men of about their own skill. 
In considering these matters it must always be taken 
into consideration that a man of medium skill occasionally 
has an extra good day, and frequently one of expert skill 
has a poor day. There is no method by which such can 
be considered, and in any event one should be rewarded 
for his extra effort or result of such effort, and the other 
penalized for shooting below his form. 
On account of _ the program being such a considerable 
departure from those usually offered, it may seem some¬ 
what complicated, but any one who has had any ex¬ 
perience at all can easily work out just how each event 
is run. Unfortunately one of the troubles with shooters 
is that they take everything for granted instead of care¬ 
fully investigating what is given to them for their 
amusement.
