E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS POWDER COMPANY 
Manufacturers of (g jIPDN X) Superior Smokeless Powders 
established 1802 Wilmington, Delaware 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The first of the series of money-back tournaments of 
this season was held on May 7, and was voted a big 
success, the best of which the club has given so far since 
they placed the event on their regular program. The 
day was perfect for the sport, and good scores were not 
scarce. Twenty-seven shooters entered and shot in all 
the events, and there was a large crowd of spectators. 
Dr. L. W. Shouse gave good satisfaction as referee. W. 
Keefer acted as scorer. The office work was in charge 
of Elmer Lamb, who made his debut here as cashier, 
and he proved to be a good one, having the moneys 
figured out promptly, and all shooters paid off within a 
few minutes of the close of the last event. Supt. Tag¬ 
gart made a very good squad hustler, and was busy in 
various ways during the day. 
The shooters were served a fine dinner at noon in the 
club house, to which all did full justice. 
The money-back system again proved its value. The 
purse amounted to $69. Seventeen of the shooters were 
obliged to present claims in sums ranging from 15 cents 
to $8.20, to reimburse them for their Tosses, the surplus 
being used for the high average trophy, a handsome 
cut-glass bowl. 
Among the out-of-town shooters present were J. S. 
a long time owing to ill health; 88 per cent, is a mark 
that many amateurs would like to reach and keep up. 
Luverne had too much on his hands to really do his 
best, and the work prevented him from getting into the 
special event, much to his disappointment. " Ed Cain 
had a string of 14s, but unluckily he sandwiched in a 
few lower scores that kept him down in the list much 
below his usual place. 
Every one w-as disappointed at not seeing the genial 
Lon Fisher, of Columbus, on the grounds, but at the 
last moment he w-as prevented from coming. We will 
look for him at the next shoot, on the first Sunday in 
June. Hammersmith was over w-ith several of the Cin¬ 
cinnati boys, but did not quite reach the 90 per cent, 
class. He was boosting for his money-back shoot, which 
will be held on May 21, and he ought to have a big at¬ 
tendance. McArdle started out with a straight, and 
divided first money with Moller, the only other one to 
break them all in the first event. The pace was a 
little too hot for Mac to keep up, though he did well 
in one or two other events. 
The program consisted of ten 15-target events; total 
entrance $14; purse in the first five events divided Rose 
system, 5, 3, 2, 1; and percentage system, 35, 30, 20 and 
15 per cent., in the last five. Shooting was started at 11 
o’clock, and the last event was finished about 5 o’clock. 
Everything moved smoothly, but the shooters w'ere a 
little slow getting to the score during the first part of 
the program. Later in the day Supt. Taggart got after 
them, and there w'as no more trouble. As soon as the 
regular events were concluded, a special event at 25 
targets, $1 entrance, distance handicap, was started with 
twenty entries. The trophy was a large cut-glass vase, 
and was won by C. C. Williamson on a score of 24 from 
the 18yd. mark. Voige and Welch, from 16yds., and 
Webster, Payne, Sampson and Hammersmith, all at 
18yds., tied for second place on 23. 
At the last weekly trophy shoot the darkness prevented

and Woodbury from deciding the tie between 
so they agreed to settle the matter by to-day’s.

The club’s next trophy shoot will be held on May 15, 
and on the 21st a number of the members will visit the 
Cincinnati grounds to help swell the attendance at their 
money-back tournament. There will be a live-bird shoot 
on May 11 for the purpose of selecting the team which 
will shoot the team from Pennsylvania on May 15, at the 
grounds of the Crystal Lake Gun Club, Ryland, Ky.

Ritt, E. M. Stout, Moller and C. Fellers, of Circleville, 
O.; Frank Alkire. of Williamsport O.; F. Bruns, Wil- 
liamstown, Ind.; C. C. Williamson, Muncie, Ind.; Messrs. 
Turrell and Francis, of Harrison, O.; Wm. Webster, of 
Columbus, O., and Ed Cain and Ike, of Dayton, O. 
The high average trophy was won by Webster on the 
score of 142, or 94.66 per cent. Felix, of Madisonville, 
O., shot a close race with Webster for first place in the 
first six events, being tied on 86 out of 90, but in the 
next two events he went to pieces and lost out. J. A. 
Pavne, one of our best local shots, finished in second 
place on 139. Then came Bruns and Williamson with 
138 each. Woodbury shot a fair race all through, and in 
the ninth event dropped into first place all by himself 
with 15 straight, and it surely paid him w-ell. In the last 
event he was second alone, and that brought his win¬ 
nings up to a respectable figure, and took him out of 
the money-back class. Frank Alkire did not put up the 
score we expect from him, but got back into form for 
the last four events, but it was too late to do him much 
good. E. M. Stout often shoots a better race than he did 
to-day, but he took his medicine cheerfully, as usual, 
and smiled, like the game sportsman he is. Ike is one 
of the few old-timers, of Dayton, who still remain in the 
game, but he does not put up the old-time scores now by 
a good many targets. Dameron shot very well, consid¬ 
ering that he has not been able to do any shooting for 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., May 8. —The following scores were 
made at the Ossinging Gun Club grounds Saturday, May 
6. In the first 25-bird event. Col. F. Brandreth got the 
third and final win for.the Du Pont trophy. In the 100- 
bird event Blandford w'as high with 92.
