caught the breeze, lessening the impact.

TrapShOOterS to Compete for 5OO-Target
Championship Of America July As

On July and . trapshooters all over
the country will be contesting for the
500-target trapshooting championship
Of America. This contest has Just been
proposed-through a general challenge
by John ". Minnick of this city. who
set worlds record for amateurs two
years ago when he broke Az targets out
OF possible 500. Mr.. AIinniclS's score
probably viii not be equalled. even bv
himself, for good while yet hence il
appears that in suggesting match for
the championship title the Wilmington
marksman is rather generous to his
rivals--or else has no fear of losing his
present laurels.
shooters who accept Mr.. Minnick' 3
challenge are TO shoot 500 targets after
J o'clock on the afternoon of Indepen-
dence Day, unless the weather prevents,
IN which case postponement until the
Following day will be permitted Only
amateurs are eligible
In issuing his sweeping def Mfr. Min.
nick tells OF his record breaking exploit
as follows In June, 1912. the writer
got INTO a friendly argument with a
Fellow club member over our respective
ability to break targets in a long race.
lhe result was a match at 800 targets
per man 20 be shot in one afternoon.
Shooting from l6 yards rise at targets
thrown full 80 yards and in the pres.
ence OF dozens Of spectators, it was my
good fortune TO win with a score of All
out Of a possible 500. At that time the
score WAS said to be a new worlds rec
ord for amateurs and, so far as |
know, il still stands"
In that remarkable test OF endurance
and craftsmanship the winner made the
following scores in the successive So
target events; 40, As, AZ, 40. 40, 30. 4s.
20, AZ and i9-aye times out OF ten
breaking 80 out OF possible 80. The
contest started at Las p. M, and was
over at 4.45 p. M, having consumed ev-
actly three hours.

nURYEA MINS sasN.O0O.

n LONDON, May 2S.-That the Derby
should have been won by an American
owned and French trained horse was
keen disappointment to the British
public, who were led by the tipsteri
to hope that the Kings horse, Break
spear. would be victorious. But the
sporting crowd was still more bitter
ly chagrined by the outsiders victory.
as only Duryea and his friends had
backed Dunbar H.
It is stated that Duryea personally
won S550.0O0, his commission having
been very cleverly worked. SO that the
suspicion of the betting ring was not
aroused and they did not shorten the
odds below 20 to /. Thus the book
makers will disgorge to Duryea a con-
siderable share of what they scooped
out of the pit.
One of the leading sporting papers
this morning stated that Dunbar n
was a negligible quantity, so that his
victory was thoroughly disagreeable
surprise.
