Wilbur Richards Coming Champion
Last week exceptionally high scores
marked the events of the registered
trapshooting tournament of the Bet
terton Gun Club. Local spOrtsmen are
very proud of the record made over
the traps by Wilbur Richards, fifteen
years old. He succeeded in breaking
1872 out of the first $50 targets, break
ing 95 out of the last hundred. His
best run was made when he broke 65
straight. In the handicap, he broke
81 clays out Of possible hundred, at
IL yards. "a chip from the old block,
Wilbur is the son of E. S. Richards,
a professional shot, also an old-timer
at base ball. He is employed as trav-
cling salesman by the Peters Cartridge
Co.
Harrington News
For several months past a number
of local sceptics have made state !
ments that Harrington would never
secure a road to Burrsville, Md. Dur
ing the past week the McNichol Paw
ing Co., of Philadelphia, started the
preliminary work Of constructing the
road. Under the foremanship of 7. R.
Twilley they started the laying Of
their narrow gauge railway for haul
ing materials. The actual building OF
the road will start at the Clarke street
crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad,
connecting with the present Harring-
ton Milford Highway, continuing thru
town and then taking nearly a direct
route to Burrsville. Should this piece
of road be finished this year, there
will then be almost an unbroken
stretch Of concrete highway from Har-
rington to Denton, Md. According to
reports a short distance in Maryland
will not be completed this year.
