A correspondent sends us a clipping from the Wil- 
mington, Del., News, as follows: ‘The Wawaset Gun 
Club trophy, which will be shot for in the tournament to 
be held on the grounds of that club on May 9 and 10, 
will be placed on exhibition in a few days. It is both 
unique and handsome. The trophy, which is a shield 
of dark oak, has in the center a solid bronze head of 
Sitting Bull, the famous Indian chief, wearing his war 
bonnet. The trophy was designed by Edward Banks, 
of the E. I. duPont Powder Company, and the bronze 
head work by N. C. Wyeth, the well-known artist, con- 
nected with the studio of Howard Pyle. At the top of 
the shield is a silver plate, with space for eighteen names. 
At the bottom is another plate with this inscription: 
“Wawaset Gun Club Championship Trophy.’ ”’

Richmond Gun Club. 
RicHMOND, Va., April 19.—Hierewith are the scores of 
our shoot Saturday. Kindly announce our big Fourth 
of July shoot. 
A dizzy-dazzle of wind-driven dust, which cut like fine 
shot from an invisible gun, and targets climbing into the 
clouds like scared teal, then diving for the ground like a 
missed snipe, were some of the conditions under which 
a baker’s dozen of scatter gun artists faced the traps 
Saturday at the Richmond Gun Club shoot. 
Anderson was high in the 100-targets, closely followed 
by Fultz. MacLelland was high in 50 and had a straight 
25, which was good in such a gale of wind. 
The boys were glad to see Mr. Fultz. He left for his 
future home, Cincinnati, Sunday. Richmond loses a good 
citizen and the shooting fraternity one of its best shots. 
He had just received his handsome badge from the 
Peters Cartridge Co., emblematic of second high amateur 
average, West End Gun Club, 1905. 
Mr. Gus Greiff was calling on the trade this week. 
More interest among beginners in trapshooting than 
was ever known here so early in the season.

SHOOTER. 
Independent Gun Club. 
Easton, Pa.—The third annual tournament of the In- 
dependent Gun Club was held April 21, and was a suc- 
cess, as can be noted by the scores below. Seven pro- 
fessionals were present, representing their different com- 
panies—Messrs. T. H. Keller, Neaf Apgar, Frank Butler, 
J. M. Hawkins, Sim Glover, Luther J. Squier and W. J. 
Hearne. Amateurs were present from the surrounding 
States, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. 
Mr. J. F. Pleiss, of Easton, Pa., took high ,average, 
and certainly was entitled to it, for he gave the finest 
exhibition of target shooting ever seen in this section and 
ended by tying Mr. J. M. Hawkins, who also made the 
remarkable score of 171 breaks out of 180 targets shot at. 
With the conditions all taken into consideration, the 
scores were remarkable, as in the first place the trap 
threw a very hard target, and a very speedy one, and at 
the same time was not working at its best, and was apt 
to balk shooters by throwing broken targets, etc. 
This score made by Mr. Pleiss is the highest score 
ever made by any man in the Lehigh Valley in a tourna- 
ment, and for this reason the Independent Gun Club is 
very proud to own him as one of their members. He will 
be one of the representatives of this club at the Penn- 
sylvania State shoot this year, and will give there a 
good account of himself. 
Closely following him came Kelly, of Brooklyn, then 
Heil, from Allentown in the amateur class. In the pro- 
fesona) class, after Hawkins came Luther Squier and 
Apgar. 
After the shoot the visitors left, feeling well pleased 
with the way in which they were treated. The club’s 
motto is: ‘‘Treat people right and they will tell others. 
Treat them wrongly, ‘they will saw wood’ and say 
nothing.’’ The following are the scores:

“‘Farsyte’s wedding took place to-day,” remarked Pop- 
ley, ‘and no one can say it was a hasty wedding.” 
plies his preparations for it deliberately, eh?’ asked 
igsby. 
d “T should say so. Why, he’s prepared for everything. 
He even asked me what was a good remedy for cholera 
infantum.”
