At Wilmington. 
W. M. Foorp, of Wilmington, Del., has challenged 
Luther J. Squier, the present champion of Delaware, tor 
the cup and title that goes with the championship. Both 
men are shooting in excellent form just now, and the 
match between the two, which is to be shot Saturday, 
May 5, will attract a great deal of attention in local 
shooting circles. 
The Wawaset Gun Club, of Wilmington, Del., has 
arranged to have three Leggett traps in service for its 
annual tournament, May 9 and 10, thereby making sure 
that it will be able to accommodate al! the shooters 
who are expected to put in an appearance at its tourna- 
ment. The second day’s programme includes the five- 
man team championship-ot the State, which is the only 
event on: the programme not “open to all,” as the 
Wawaset Gun Ciub’s championship trophy, open to any 
shooter who resides within 20) miles ot the Wawasetr 
Gun Club’s house, in Wilmington, is shot for in the 
five 20-target events, covering the individual champion- 
ship of the State of Delaware. Each of these 20-target 
events is an individual sweepstake. The shoot will be 
managed by. Luther Squier, and he will be assisted by a 
competent corps of clerks. Practice over the three Leg: 
gett traps may be indulged in on Saturday afternoon, 
the 5th inst., and on the afternoon of the 8th. 
On the second day of the tournament to be given by 
the Wawaset Gun Club, of Wilmington, Del., May 9 
and 19 next, the main events will be the contest for the 
individual championship of Delaware, the team cham- 
pionship contest, and the most interesting of all, the 
contest for the championship trophy donated by the 
Wawaset -Gun Club, which is ‘open to any shooter -wht 
resides within 200 miles of the Wawaset Gun Club’s home 
at Twenty-ninth and Market streets, Wilmington, Del. 
This trophy is new in design, so far as shotgun troph- 
ies are concerned: It is a large oak plaque in the shape 
of a shield. In the center is a bronze medallion of the 
famous. Indian chief, Sitting Bull, wearing his war 
bonnet. 
The original from which this. bronze cast was made 
was a clay model. designed expressly for the club by the 
famous Western artist, N. C: Wyeth, whose paintings 
depicting typical Western scenes are so well known to 
magazine readers of to-day. 
Underneath the medallion is a strip of silver, on which 
is the inscription, *“Wawaset Gun Club Championship 
Trophy.” At the top-of the shield is a broad strip of 
solid “silver, with blank spaces for eighteen names to be 
inscribed on. it.. The .whole is incased in a quartered 
oak case box lined with crimson plush. The corners ot 
the box are protected by ornamental brass work. The 
whole makes a most attractive and novel trophy. 
The conditions under which the trophy is to be shot 
for are: 100 targets,-all at l6yds., and it may fairly 
claim to represent the Eastern championship, although 
no such claim is made for it by the Wawaset Gun Club. 
The winner of the trophy is subject to challenge, and 
there are certain other conditions providing for open 
competitions. The number of open competitions and 
challenge contests are limited to eighteen in number. 
As soon as the eighteen contests have been decided, the 
winners of those contests whose names will be inscribed 
on the plate at the top of the shield will shoot off for 
final ownership, that contest being decided on the 
grounds of the Wawaset Gun Club. 
_known angles; 
The conditions are so framed that the cup cannot re- 
main long idle or in one man’s possession. A circle 
with a radius of 200 miles, the center of the circle being 
placed in Wilmington, Del., will cover a good section ot 
territory, and the contests for the Wawaset Gun Club’s 
championship emblem ought to produce a number of 
spirited matches. 
Oakland Gun Club. 
Oaxktand, Me., April 27.—The Oakland Gun Club 
opened the season of 1906 on Fast Day, April 26, nine 
members participating. An interesting programme of ten 
events had been arranged, consisting of known and un- 
also one event with the use of both 
barrels allowed. This programme would have brought 
thirty or more shooters to the grounds had weather 
conditions been favorable. 
A heavy snow of the day before followed by a high 
northwest wind, proved a deterrent to out-of-town shoot- 
ers and to some of the club members; but it was not 
sufficient to dampen the ardor of the nine enthusiasts 
who participated. 
On account of the few present the original programme 
was dispensed with and fifteen 10-bird events, all at 
unknown angles, were substituted, the last five being 
sweepstakes. 
During the first part of the afternoon a high wind 
swept across the grounds, which, together with a bunch 
of wet targets, played havoc with the scores, and affected 
the averages badly; and it was only when the sweep- 
stake events were begun that the boys got in some of 
the finest work ever seen on the Heather street grounds. 
Nothing lower than 80 per cent. scores were made in 
these five events, while straights and 90 per cent. scores 
were everywhere in evidence, and with the exception 
of the last event, which was won on a 90 per cent. 
score, no man could lay claim to any part of the money 
who could not back up his claim with a 100 per cent. 
score. Following are the scores: 
Shot at. Brk. Shot at. Brk. 
Strickland Gteneer 150 117 Marshall erences. 52 
ambipe resect 140 109 Brannyeeeeeeeeeae 70 50 
Blaisdell n.ce as 150 122 Tuktuys seaaee aerate G0 49 
Morisette ....... 150 107 Sawtelle? 32. ese .e40 23 
The unpropitious conditions of the first part of the 
afternocn were responsible for the low averages, but 
when the boys think of the number of targets which 
were smashed in the last five events, they read them 
with better nerve. Blaisdell, who has been practicing 
all winter on the ice at Harrison, was high man with an 
average of 81 per cent., but the club’s secretary, M. L. 
Strickland, was hot on his trail, and during the last 
events was pounding out 90s and straights, and had the 
programme contained two more events, I am convinced 
that “Strick” would have put Duffy and his “spring 
training” hors de combat, or, in the parlance of the 
mail clerk himself, ‘‘on the bum.” 
An interesting and varied programme will be made up 
for Memorial Day, and in the meantime weekly practice 
shoots will be held on the grounds Fridays, at 4 P. M.

Trinidad Gun Club. 
TRINIDAD, Colo.—One of the most enthusiastic shoots 
of the season, was given by the: Trinidad Gun Club, 
April 23, in honor of Mr. Hood Waters, of, Baltimore, 
Md. Eight. members -participated, and the home boys 
did not hesitate to put their guest down for third place 
on the score sheet. The club grounds are owned by the 
Elks. The traps are beautifully located in the center of 
the grounds, encircled by a half-mile racetrack. There 
is a perfect sky background, and an $8,000 grand stand 
facing the traps, where visitors can be made quite com- 
fortable—a happy contrast to some of the shoots I have 
attended in Colorado, where it has been necessary to 
stand all day, or sit on the ground. 
Good 50yd. targets were thrown, and a nicer ‘“‘bunch” 
of shooters I have never met. 
‘Hospitality’ is the watchword of the club, and all 
visitors are entertained royally, which, perhaps, accounts 
for the fact that, while 100 targets were shot at I could 
only get the scores for 50. 
Mr. F.. E. Goodwin was high gun, 46; J. C. Hudelson 
second, 44. The scores:
