provements have been made to the club house and 
grounds the past two months, and everything has been 
put in the best possible condition. There are now a 
number of very handsome cups to be shot for in handi¬ 
caps, the dates for which will be announced later by the 
committee having that in charge. Boris de Struve, of 
Russia, in a little match with his friend Mr. Kennard,

Dupont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Jan. 4.—It was truly a close race, 
one of manv close ones, between Wm. M. Foord, ot 
Wilmington,'and Alan M. Richardson, of Dover, Del. It 
is not a slow contest by any means when these re¬ 
nowned marksmen engage in a match. The conditions 
were 100 targets. Foord scored 95 and Richardson 93. 
The prize was the championship. In the first round 
Foord scored 25 to Richardson’s 23. ^ At the end of the 
50th target the scores stood 48 to 4'6 in Foord’s favor. 
Next 72 to 70 for Richardson. Ed. Banks and H. W. 
Bush were referees. A match between Foord and Lott 
for the championship will be arranged probably later. 
The complete scores of yesterday were:

Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Ridge, N. Y., Feb. 4.— The weather conditions 
were favorable for good scoring at the Crescent Athletic 
Club traps to-day. L. C. Hopkins, C. Blake, George 
Piercy and C. H. Pulis succeeded in making straight 
scores. Hopkins scored a leg on the Stake trophy and 
for the January trophy. The leg for the Lockwood 
trophy was won by Blake. George Piercy won the con¬ 
solation cup, and C. H. Pulis won the sweepstake trophy. 
The new season cup offered by J. S. Lawson had four¬ 
teen contestants. It was won by a score of 23 by A. 
B. Hendrickson. F. B. Stephenson and J. F. James 
tied for second with 22. The four best scores of the 
season will take the trophy. 
The conditions of the monthly cup were changed by 
the shooting committee at yesterday’s matches. Every 
shooter must shoot two strings of targets, 50 in all. 
Hyatt and Hopkins scored 47 targets out of 50, which 
will be credited to them at the end of the month.

making scores of 72, 76, 78, 85 and 87 on the 50yd. target, 
shooting each string of 10 shots inside of that number o 
seconds. Two thousand people were on the grounds, a 
large contingent from Dover accompanying Mr. Kicn- 
^The" attraction for next Saturday will be an exhibition 
race between L. H. Worthington of Rising Sun Md„ 
and four members of the local club. The local shooters 
will be chosen from the best shots on the grounds, and 
they will shoot all in one squad during the afternoon. 
One hundred targets will make up the race, with a suit¬ 
able prize to the high man in the squad. Worthington 
is one of the best trapshooters in Maryland. 
The club was organized on Nov. 10 of last year, by a 
number of the employes of the E. I. du Pont de Ne¬ 
mours Powder Company, for the encouragement ot trap¬ 
shooting in this vicinity. Membership is not limited to 
employes of the company; others, in fact, are urged to 
join and take advantage of the club privileges. Of the 
308 members the club now has, 80 are in no way con¬ 
nected with the powder concern. 
It is not necessary to be a club member, however, to 
take part in the shoots. The charges for membership 
being but $1 a year, with an initiation fee of $2, and the 
fact that members can secure targets, at a cheaper rate 
than non-members, makes it a decided advantage to 
affiliate with the club. . , , , , . , T 
The powder company has furnished the grounds at New 
Bridge, just beyond Rising Sun, across the Brandywine, 
forthe club and has erected thereon a cozy little club 
house. Three traps have been installed, and a pistol and 
target range with five targets put in. The whole outfit of 
the club costs in the neighborhood of $2500. 
The regular shoots of the club are, held every batur- 
day afternoon, beginning at 1:30 o clock. L C. du 
Pont has given $200 each year for five years, for the 
purchase of prizes, and the T. Coleman du Pont merchan- 
dise event is shot off each week. Four silver spoons, 
of a plain design and engraved with the club name, are 
offered each week for the winners of the four classes. 
In addition, special events and ties left over from pre¬ 
vious Saturdays are shot. . 
Eugene E. du Pont has offered a prize of $50, to be 
contested for throughout the season. To be eligible the 
men must have shot at 25 targets 20 times; their ten 
best scores are selected, and the high man will win. 
The manufacturers of the Fox gun have offered a $100 
double barrel shotgun, to be contested for through the 
months of February, March, April and May. Like the 
du Pont trophy, this will also be won by the man get¬ 
ting the highest mark in totaling his ten best scqres at 
25 targets, but it takes only ten scores to qualify instead 
of twenty, as in the Du Pont contest. 
For the convenience of business men who cannot get 
out to shoot on Saturdays, there is a regular Thursday 
afternoon shoot, beginning at 2:30 o’clock. The scores 
made then count the same as if made at the Staurday 
shoot. 
A charge of 15 cents is made to members of the club 
for 25 targets, and this, in addition to the cost of the 
shells, makes an afternoon’s shoot at the club inexpen¬ 
sive sport. Non-members pay a cent apiece for the 
targets. 
The following scores were made on the rifle range:

Another interesting match was between Foord, Lobb 
and Bush, all of whom had tied for the trophy in Class 
A on Jan. 21. In the first round. Foord and Lobb made 
each 23 out of 25 targets, with Bush 22. This was 
another tie. In the second shoot-off, Foord and Lobb 
each lost 2 targets, thus resulting in the third tie, which 
will be decided next Saturday. 
A most interesting team race was that between teams 
representing the sales department and the black powder 
operating department of the Du Pont Company. It 
was the intention to shoot ten-man teams, but as only 
seven of the operators were on deck, the seven best 
scores made by the salesmen were counted. The oper¬ 
ators won by 9 targets, as follows:

Class C: W. T. Bickley, W. S. Simpson, D. Lindsay, 
C. D. Rogers, Gerrow, Poffenberger 16. 
Class D: H. S. Pierson, H. S. Farrow 11. 
Charles Nelson, of Utica, N. Y., gave an entertaining 
automatic pistol exhibition. He shot with other shooters 
who were using the regulation target pistols, and his 
scores were remarkable. 
Mr. Nelson also gave an exhibition of rapid-firing. 
Buffalo Audubon Gun Club. 
Buffalo. N. Y.. Feb. 4.— Frank Kelsey and Bvron 
Covert divided the honors at the Audubon shoot to-day, 
each breaking 70 out of 80 targets, and also making the 
only straight scores. Kelsey also won the Reed trophy 
from the 20yd. mark, and scored 18. 
Covert, going straight in the second event, won Class 
A badge, and Will Imhoff and Dr. Burke won m their 
respective classes for the third consecutive time. They 
seem to be the whole class to themselves. 
Several extra events at doubles followed the regular 
program, and in this particular style of shooting W. H. 
Hopper was easily the best of the lot, as he broke 16 
out of his first 10 pair, and later made the exceptional 
score of 28 out of 15 pair shot at. 
Renn Spaulding was runner-up with 21, and broke his 
first 5 pairs like a seasoned professional.
