DtV Pom r.!in n M u ay 3 ’- Secreta / y T. E. Doremus, of the 
<V° n • 1 Club, writes us from Wilmington: 
nf w?w f' osin *£ t wo Pages from this morning’s News, 
of VVilmineton, Del._ They will indicate to yoi? that the 
to make tVne TuV 5 S u 1 on the , ma P- R is our desire 
n/tT • and best m the country, 
and to give the Wilmington shooters and any who may 
desire to enjoy an afternoon’s sport with us, the very 
best shooting at the lowest cost. Yesterday we let a com 
chib 1 home 6 t° f the . loCal bu , ilders f°r an addition to the 
club house, to cost somewhat over $2,000. \V e believe 
for 3 aTl 1 fh e "Ly up : to - dat £ house, with conveniences 
, addition is to have a second story porch 
with a grand stand on the second story; this toaccom- 
modate the ladies, who enjoy watching the shooting.” 
, I*? e "lustrations in the News are most interesting and 
bear witness to the enterprise and sprightliness of the 
Delaware shooters. Even though the peach crop of this* 
State is on the decline, they certainly raise big shooters,

Organized but last November, the Du Pont Gun Club 
nas come in the short intervening time to be one of tile 
foremost sporting organizations of the city, and now 
holds a rank With many of the large gun clubs of this 
section of the country. 
Although the prosperous gun club was organized by 
employees of the E. I du Pont de Nemours Powder 
Company, it was formed for the purpose of arousing 
greater interest in trapshooting in the whole community 
and its membership is not limited to the employees of 
the powder concern. Of the 382 members of the club, 
1-0 are in no way connected with the Du Pont Company 
I he new organization has received much encourage¬ 
ment trom the Du Pont Company as a whole, and from 
its individual members. The company has furnished the 
grounds at New Bridge, just beyond Rising Sun, across 
the Brandywine, and has erected for the club on the 
ground a cozy little club house. The whole outfit cost 
in the neighborhood of $4,000, and includes three traps 
and a pistol and target range with five targets. 
J he club holds its regular shoots every Saturday after¬ 
noon, commencing at 1:30 o’clock. Each week four silver 
spoons of a handsome design and engraved with the 
name of the club, are offered for the winners of the 
tour classes, and in addition special events and ties left 
over from the previous Saturday are shot. T. Coleman 
dll Pont has given $200 each year for five years for the 
purchase of prizes and the T. Coleman du Pont mer¬ 
chandise event is shot off each week. 
A prize of $50 has been offered by Eugene du Pont, 
which will be contested for throughout the remainder of 
the season. The contestants, to be eligible, must have 
shot at 25 targets 20 times; their ten best scores are 
selected and high man wins. A double-barrel shotgun 
was offered by the manufacturers of the Fox gun, the 
contest for which will end at the close of the present 
month. As in the Du Pont event, this will also be 
won by the man getting the highest mark in totaling his 
ten best scores at 25 targets, excepting that it takes 
only ten scores to qualify instead of twenty, as in the 
Du Pont shoot. 
In order that business men may be given a chance 
to take part in the trapshooting, a regular Thursday 
aiternoon shoot is held, the scores made in this to count 
1 lie same as those in the Saturday shoots. 
Non-members of the club pay one cent apiece for the 
targets, while the members are charged 15 cents for 25 
targets, in addition to the cost of the shells, which makes 
tlie cost of the sport verv low. 
All scores made at all the shoots are carefully recorded 
in the booxs of the club and percentages of the ability 
°I vach man figured out for use in handicap shoots.

Tjy, 6 , was an ideal Spring day, the first really pleas- 
ont Saturday we have had in this section for many weeks 
I he attendance was fair, but not what the delightful 
weather warranted. Holoday, after a couple of warming- 
UP .events got down to business, and finished with 95 , 
which included a run of 54 straight. Irwin did not 
f v r ' ke > s « ait “nt'J he had tried a little practice, and 
even then he fell down a little, scoring several targets 
less than usual in the 100. De Mar was not in so good 
form as last week. In his first event he missed only 
tar f- e .ti but th on fe 1 down ln the next two, finishing 
wli i a i r! t ° ver 89 p ? r cent ” ln stead of up in the 90s 
\\ elsn left his gun at home, not expecting to get to the 
grounds His score was the result of using a strange 
gun, and not lack of skill. Dr. Phillips is still able to 
break a few, but does not get time for sufficient practice 
to keep in shape. Jenkms got out just in time for a 
couple of events, and after a bad experience in his first 
event, he began to find them, but could not get his 
average where it belongs. Frohliger seldom does his 
best at the start. To-day he improved in each succeeding 
event, and was going a nice pace when the shootin| 
ended. Schaefer could do nice work if he would devote 
a little more time to practice. He is also making good 
on the revolver range. Sampson came out late, getting 
into one event and then shooting alone. He broke SS 
per cent, of the 50 targets he shot at, and promises to 
better that by a number of targets at the North¬ 
ern s tournament.
