Abstract: The n-th Delannoy number and the n-th Schr"oder number given by and respectively arise naturally from enumerative combinatorics. Let p be an odd prime. We mainly show that sum_{k=1}^{p-1}D_k/k^2=2(-1/p)E_{p-3} (mod p) and sum_{k=1}^{p-1}S_k/m^k=(m^2-6m+1)/(2m)*(1-((m^2-6m+1)/p) (mod p), where (-) is the Legendre symbol, E_0,E_1,E_2,... are Euler numbers and m is any integer not divisible by p. We also conjecture that sumk=1p1Dk2/k2=2qp(2)2(modp), where qp(2)=(2p11)/p.
