DONATION BY MRS. DUPONT To
ENCOURAGE WOMEN SHOOTERS.

The growing popularity or trapshoot-
ing among the women OF Wilmington
has been still further enhanced by Mrs.
William X. duPont's gift OF a i2-gauge
tournament grade Winchester gun for
the use Of the women shooters at the
Wilmington Trapshootlng Association.
Many women visit the shooting club
at Bellevue during the season, but Of
ten they cannot conveniently bring
with them the necessary equipment.
The men are always glad 10 offer the
use OF their shotgun. but a mans gun
Is generally too heavy and too long In
the stock for a woman TO use to the
best advantage. Through the generosity
OF Mrs. dupont a gun Will now always
be on hand for women 10 use. either
in learning 10 break the flying clay
targets or in taking part in tho com
petition. The officers OF the VIII

rain Brings LONG
DROUGHT TO AN END
Showers Do Good But Some
Crops Greatly Damaged
by Dry Spell
SUGAR CORN RUINED
in SOME SECTIONS

The long drought was broken
throughout the State by the rains yes
yesterday. Reports from every section
state that there was heavy down
fall Of rain during the day and evening.
The storm was general and not a sec
ton OF the state missed the beneficial
rainfall.
While some crops are undoubtedly
injured yet It is believed that the rain
came in time to do great good In most
districts. The corn has been damaged
in some sections considerably and there
was also material damage 20 grass and
some vegetables. The effect Of the long
dry spell on the pasture OF dairy farms
caused extensive damage which cannot
be recovered. For several weeks the
pasture has been short and consequent
ly the milk supply greatly decreased
This was an absolute loss that the
farmer cannot get back.
10 is reported that IN some sections
Of the lower part Of the county. where
hundreds OF acres was put in sugar
corn for canneries, that there VIII not
be more than half a crop and In some
Instances the crop has been entirely
ruined and will not even make good
fodder.

Over Saturday Game
STEEL LEAGUERS

The rebuilt and restrengthened Tray
lOr team, Of near Bristol, Pa, will be
the opponents OF Bill Gallagher's Della
ware River League team, at Harlan
baseball park, on Saturday afternoon.
at $50 o'clock. But it's an entirely DIFF
ferent bunch OF players TO that en-
countered earlier In the season. Monte
Cross, the old shortstop for Connie
Mack, has replaced weak players with
more seasoned timber, some OF them
from the big leagues, and on Saturday
last they licked the Pusey and Jones
team. Of this city. twice, all in one
afternoon.
Cross got away to q bad start with
Trsylor, but what he lacked at the be-
ginning Of the season, he is making up
for now. The infleld that was not
much TO speak Of, has been stiffened
The pitching stan has been bolstered
up.
Jordan. whom Gallagher has missed
the past couple OF weeks, Is expected
back tomorrow. II he has time 20 get
into condition for the game he will
doubtless be Harlan's choice with the
pill. But there are a couple OF others,
including Lefty Williams, on whom
Gallagher can count when II comes to
selecting moundsmen.
While Harlan and Traylor are wrest-
ling Il out on the diamond here, Fred
Payne's steel Lesguers will be doing
what they can TO throw down Lebanon
This is another stiff proposition for
Payne and he knows II. It's all hard
enough now. I'm the Steel League, and
those teams striving for the pennsnt,
cannot afford 10 throw away a single
chance.
The sale Of silk flags for Our Boys
Bat and Ball Fund. across the seas, at
the game on Saturday afternoon. netted
upwards OF $50 for the fund. The
young women, marshaled by Miss
simmons, OF the employment oflce,
circulated among the stands and bleach
ers and had no difficulty disposins OF
the flags. Every penny OF the proceeds
goes TO provide bats and balls and
equipment for our fighters across the
big ditch.
Monte Cross is so well pleased with
the showing made on Saturday by
Holmes, the former Connie MACK
twirler, that he has decided to put him
against Harlsn's on Saturday. Holmes
disposed Of the Pusey and Jones bats
men in eighteen innings. for a total OF
six hits, and he has plenty OF smoke TO
his ball.
The offer Of a silver cup, worth $500,
by w. G. Coke, formerly President OF
the Harlan plant, now with the Elmer
gency Fleet, in charge OF the Philadel-
phia district. TO be played for by the
leaders OF the three ship leagues In the

ing TO Mr.. Coxes offer, the winners OF
the Delaware River League, New York

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

1t has been a long while since the
and pleasant afternoon than the one
spent at Scott-M. E. church last Sun
day afternoon. The program prepared
for Mothers Day had been postponed
until last Sunday, and when the pro
gram began about AIS o'clock the
church was crowded to the very doors.
The mothers in the audience occupied
reserved seats in the front pews.
Chairman l.. H. Lightner presided, and
Mr.. Luther Walton offered prayer
The pastor, the Rev DR.. T. S. McMor-
ris, spoke briefly at the beginning of
the program.
The audience was in good spirits,
and encouraged each speaker with ap-
plause as he came upon the platform
to speak. The main attraction of the
program was the appearance of Ma
dam Bessie La Bell, the gifted lady
baritone, formerly of Chicago, who
swept the audience clear off its feet
by her splendid rendition of Good
bye" and Joan of Arc" 1t seemed
as if the applause would never die
| away, and the singer was forced to
respond with a short encore. With
her deep, rich voice, her splendid in
depreciation, her pleasing manner and
attractive personality the singer cap
tured the hearts of all her hearers
The speakers were: Counsellor e. p.
Blakemore, 1.-The Significance of This
Day." Counsellor T. o. Mason, "A
Mothers Expectations; Mr.. S. B. w.
May, Some Things Mothers Have to
Bear" Mr.. Jesse Douglass, Joys
| That Come Into the Lives of Moth
ers," and Secretary Thomas j. Bell,
"Our Mothers-God Bless Them!"
The meeting Sunday afternoon will
be held at the branch building, as
usual, at four o'clock. The Rev. H.
E. Chapman, pastor of the Third Con-
gregational church, will be the speak
er. All will be welcome.

The moose is the largest living rep
resentative of the deer family, and is
found in North America. %he elk is
native of northern Europe and is con-
sidered by many biologists to be the
same species, except that it is smaller.
A full grown moose may be six and
one.half to seven feet tall at the shoul-
der and weigh 1000 to 1900 pounds.
On account of endurance and strength
the moose is frequently symbolic, per-
sons of unusual power being said to be
"As strong as bull moose"

years residence in Denver passed
from this to eternity's time last Mon

active in politics and fraternal socie-
ties for a number of years, and as

ing health for nearly three years he
gave up business trying to recuperate.
