 Interest is growing enthusiastic in the direction of trap-shooting. A large number of gunmen assemble on the field bordering the Hollow road on every Thursday afternoon while on many evenings a shooting party can te seen on the same lot. Many local sportsmen attended the exhi- bition given at the South Wilmington gun club field on last Saturday by Ad. Topperwein and witnessed some stunts in craftsmanship truly mar velOus. Guns unused since last fall are receiving careful attention. A carload of clay pigeons is expected to arrive on the shooting preserve to" day and if the attendant shooters ciLn hit as we'll as they talk none will be intact tonight.
 Last Saturday marked the closing of the Irish Relief drive in this town. AS was expected, the townspeople did not fail to live up to traditions and a very creditable showing was made here. The exact sum raised was $222110. Although unable to reach the $2500 quota which was assigned to the town of Stafford, the local com mittee feels that it has no cause to be disappointed because of the fact that the response was so general and everyone gave so willingly and gener- Ously, which seems to indicate that the quota was a trff1e high. It was evi- dent that the worthineSs of the drive had preceded it, as the soliciting teams consistently reported their tasks made easy by the ready response of the solicited. The local committee desires to express, through the col umns of The Press, it's gratitude and appreciation of the very willing and generous spirit in which the solicitors, societies and townspeople in general gave their time and their support to the cause.
