Delaware—Maryland—Pennsylvania. 
WitMincTon, Del., Feb. 1.—The series of three con- 
tests between teams of Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland 
and Delaware was commenced to-day on the grounds of 
the Wawaset Gun Club. The contest evoked much 
interest, as was shown by the large number of shooters 
and spectators who congregated on the grounds. The 
Delaware team was victorious, with a big lead over 
Maryland and Pennsylvania, as the subjoined scores will 
show. Still the winning score was far below the win- 
ning team’s usual good form, as several of the 90 to 100 
per cent. men fell far below their averages. The total 
of the winning team averaged 86.9 per cent., 869 targets 
out of 1,000. 
In addition to the team race, four 15-target events 
were shot, with a total of 52 entries. In the team race, 
4,509 targets were shot at, while in the events prior to 
the race, 3,500 more were thrown, making a total of 8,000 
targets thrown during the day. 
The conditions cf the race were: The captain of each 
team was allowed to send to the score fifteen men, and 
from the scores made by those fifteen men he could 
select the ten highest as his team’s total. Each man 
shot at 100 targets. 
The weather was unfavorable for shooting, which ex- 
plains in a measure the low scores. A northwesterly 
wind of the morning changed to a southwesterly in the 
afternoon, and the clear sky became clouded as the day 
wore on. Besides the local newsgatherers, reporters were 
present from Philadelphia and Baltimore, and the West- 
ern Union ran a wire to the club house specially for 
this event. This of itself shows that it was a matter far 
transcending local interest. 
The Evening Journal of Wilmington stated: To Luther 
J. Squier, one of Wilmington’s most expert shooters, 
belongs the honor of carrying out the shoot to a success- 
ful issue. He was aided in this by Huttenlock, the 
Eastern Pennsylvania’s captain, and by Hood Waters 
and J. Hawkins, who together organized the Mary- 
land team. But Squier had also the management of the 
shoot, and the duties of the cashier’s office upon his 
shoulders, so that his score of 91 out of 100 in the team 
race must be considered as really high class work. While 
averages of 90 per cent. or better were common enough 
in the practice or preliminary, events, they were exceed- 
ingly scarce when it came down to the real thing. Only 
five men out of the forty-five engaged in the race were 
entitled to a place in the ranks of that class of “90 per 
cent. or better,’ and four out of the five were Dela- 
wareans. These were Eugene E. DuPont, to whom be- 
longs the honor of being high man, with a total of 
93, scoring 76 out of his last 80; L. J. Squier, 91, and J. 
T. Skelly and George Burroughs with 90 each. J. Mowell 
Hawkins, of Baltimore, was the only other shooter to 
score over 90; his total was 91. W. M. Foord, of Wil- 
mington, came next with 89, losing his 100th target and 
his place in the 90 per cent. ranks at the same time. 
Then two targets behind came Edward Banks, of Dela- 
ware; C. E. Mink and Landis, of Philadelphia, and 
Lester German, of Aberdeen, Md., with 87 each. A. B. 
Richardson, the present holder of the Delaware State 
championship, had a bad quarter hour. 
Three clean scores of 20 in the race were made only 
by Messrs. E. E. DuPont, Hood Waters and McCarty. 
A number of professionals were in attendance and 
participated in the preliminaries. 
_ Three of the Wilmington Gun Club heavy-weights were 
in attendance and held the grounds steadily in place. 
They were Messrs. Harry Hartlove, Louis Koerner and 
Jim Jester. Two of the heavy-weight team were absent. 
The team totals over 1,500 pounds of aggressive man- 
hood, and stand and have fearlessly stood ready during 
months to contest any five-man team of any club, and 
who weigh 1,500 pounds or more net.
