cided, Hodgman shooting at 21, and Grinnell at 20yds.

DuPont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., March 5.—Owing to unfavorable 
weather yesterday, the attendance at the Du Pont Gun 
Club shoot was only ninety. Some good scores were 
made; 6300 targets were thrown, and the traps worked 
smoothly. In the tie events, ties made on the preceding 
Saturday, the following scores resulted: 
Class A—Wm. Foord, winner, 24 out of 25. 
Class B—P. J. Pape, winner, 21 out of 25. 
Class C—Walker Matthewson and J. A. McMullen 
again tied with a score of 17 out of 25, and in the shoot- 
off Matthewson won with 16. 
Class D—R. B. Evans, winner, 15 out of 25. 
In the open events for visiting amateur shooters, 
Willet Ewing, of Rising Sun, Md., won the prize. Yes¬ 
terday was Mr. Ewing’s first visit at the club, and he 
expressed himself well pleased with the trip. 
Blue prints of the proposed extension of the club 
house were on exhibition yesterday, and from the in¬ 
terest displayed in them and the complimentary remarks 
regarding them, the management feel that the addition 
will be pleasing to all. 
An invitation to attend the weekly shoots has been 
sent Col. J. G. Ewing, of Washington, D. C. Col. 
Ewing was at one time Inspector of Rifle Practice of the 
Delaware State Guard, and is now actively engaged in 
the promotion of shooting among the school boys of 
America, and is one of the active workers for the best 
interests of the National Rifle Association of the United 
States. The club also hopes to have Capt. K. K. V. 
Casey with them next week. Capt. Casey has been 
spending the past two weeks in New York in attend¬ 
ance at the school boy shoot of the Metropolitan District 
at Madison Square Garden. 
On next Saturday a team of ten men from the Wil¬ 
mington Country Club will shoot a match with the 
Baltimore Country Club at Baltimore._ This is to be 
one of two races, the second at Wilmington, to decide 
the championship of the two clubs. As the members of 
the local team are also members of the Du Pont Club, 
there is quite some interest being manifested. 
The scores in the Coleman Du Pont merchandise event 
follow: 
Class A, 24 out of 25: Frank Matthewson, V. du Pont 
3d, Wm. Foord. 
Class B, 18 out of 20: Dr. F. A. Buckmaster, Henry 
Winchester, Thorpe Martin, J. J. Magahern, F. Holt, 
G. H. Mitchell, D. Lindsay, H. H. Lukens, R. A. 
Vance. 
Class C, 15 out of 25: E. F. Handy, H. L. Morgan, 
R. B. Evans, C. R. Jeffries, Tr., W. W. Baun, H. S. 
McComb, Dr. Bedford, S. B. Trott, E. M. Hogge. 
Class D, 12 out of 25: R. S. Robinson, S. Tuchton, 
W. B. Smith, Jr., A. Dickerson.

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
There was a good attendance at the shoot on March 
4, thirteen shooters being present. Over 1400 targets were 
trapped during the afternoon. It was a typical March 
day, with a cold, high wind blowing in the shooters’ 
faces, and this caused the targets to soar badly, so that 
all the shooters fell below their average in more than 
one of the events. Johnson was high man with 127, get¬ 
ting 84 out of his last 100. Harris has not been over to 
see us for some time, but promises to be more regular 
hereafter. He finished in third place, and was one of 
the three men to break 23 in an event. Holaday shot a 
little too quickly to catch the climbers every time, al¬ 
though he did nice work in the last 100, breaking 86 
and finishing second high for the day. Rhoades has 
kept away during the cold weather, but the approach of 
spring will bring him out again. To-day he broke 66 
per cent., which he will improve on with a little practice. 
Welsh was beaten by the wind; he could not keep up 
the pace he set in the first event. De Mar missed only 
2 in his first event, but after that he couldn’t seem to 
connect quicklv enough with the skyscrapers. Smith 
showed some lack of practice when he started, but im¬ 
proved a little in each event. Hattersley has not been 
at the grounds since last fall; his score of 83 in the 
wind was mighty good work. Eustis dropped in for a 
minute late in the afternoon, picked up a gun in the club 
house, and of course did not shoot as well as he knows 
how. When the weather gets warm he will be out every 
week, and soon be up with the leading bunch again. 
Frohliger’s last event was his best one, the wind having 
moderated a little, though the targets were still hard. W. 
and G. Oskamp are new at this game, though both are 
good field shots. We hope to see them often. Zimmer¬ 
man improved in the last event. He is not old at the 
game, and will doubtless make a better showing before 
the summer is over. Sam Leever was a spectator to-day 
—just stopped to give notice that he was going to bring 
down his bunch of Goshen shooters soon, and mix it up 
with the Hyde Parkers. He will be welcome, and 
Frohliger and Smith will do 
of good ones to meet him.

Passaic Counly—Montclair. 
The long anticipated tournament between the Passaic 
County Gun Club and the Montclair Gun Club was held 
on Saturday, Feb. 25, at Clifton, and it certainly was a 
great success from the first shot until the finish, some 
3600 targets being used in the three hours from 2:30 to 
5:30. The feature was the team shoot between twelve 
men from each club. 
The visiting gunners expressed a desire to return at an 
early date, as they were very much pleased with the 
Clifton traps. The’ free-for-all prize shoot was captured 
by Crane, of the Montclair Club; J. H. Francisco second, 
and Harry Sindle third. In the big match shoot, Billings 
excelled for the Montclair Club, breaking 48 out of a 
possible 50 birds and dusting the other two. Colquitt 
was next in line for the visitors with 46 birds, and Frazee 
next with 45. For the Passaic County gunners Vander* 
clock and Colfax tallied 47 birds; IT. Sindle and S. F. 
Francisco next, another tie, each being credited with 4o 
kills. Sindle has always hung up good scores in match 
shoots, but the remarkably good gunning of Francisco 
was a delight to the local crowd. 
The Montclairs, while defeated, were not crestfallen in 
the least, as they declared when they get the Passaic 
County contingent over at the Montclair traps in the 
return match they will make the victory total more than 
two points. The following are the correct scores of the 
club shoot, which was mentioned briefly in our last issue:

Montclair Gun Club. 
Frontier Rod and Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 27.—Twenty trapshooters turned 
up at the regular shoot of the Frontier Club yesterday. 
High scores were impossible on account of a strong 
southwest wind crossing the traps, accompanied by 
cloudy and rainy conditions, which kept some of the 
sportsmen away. Eichberg was high gun with 77 per 
cent. In the cup race the points were won by Eichberg, 
Ratcliffe and E. Biddell. Al. Suckow captured the 
point in the gun race. The club team race was won by 
Capt. Dewald’s team by 10 birds out of a total 400 targets 
shot at. The scores, event 3 cup race; event 4, gun race:
