FOREST AND STREAM. 



Spring Shoot at Wilmington. 



Nothing but uiiboiiuded entliusiasm on the part of a score or so of 

 trap-shooters prevented the opening day of the Wilmington (Del.) 

 Rod and Gun Club from being a ranlc failure, for a more disagreeable 

 day could scareeh- be imagined. From 9 a. m. until 2..30 p. m. there was 

 a mean, annoj-ing. drizzling fall of rain, which rendered everybody 

 uncomfortable and chilled. At 2:80 it changed from a drizzle to a 

 pour, which lasted for a.n hoiu-, by which time trappers and shooters 

 bad become thoroughly wet and bedi-aggled, and the former were 

 beginning to talk of quitting their posts. Just as the management 

 was about to give up the sport for the day the rain ceased to fall, and 

 all hands became enthused once more, the result being that the ti-ajis 

 were kept busy until near six o'clock. 



This was on Tuesday, ApriJ 25th, the scene of the tournament beuig 

 the club grounds on Front street, near Union. Here the club has a 

 fair-sized club house situated on the edge of an extensive grove, which 

 is now being transformed into a pleasure resort. A fence is being 

 erected inclosing the gi'ove ; toboggan shdes and other Coney Island 

 attractions are to be added, and soon the gun club will have to move 

 to new grounds, these having been already secured- The gi-ounds are 

 within a few hundred yards of the old ones. The Eighth street 

 electric car line is now extending its line through Front street, and 

 when completed this will carry shooters within a thousand yards of 

 the club grounds. 



The shoot which was ushered in as above was the third tournament 

 of the Wilmington Rod and Gun Club, one of the best known clubs 

 in the State. The organization has eighto odd members, Chas. Fehren- 

 bach ("Bilderbach") bemg President; Lewis Fox, Tice-President; C. 

 C. Kurtz, Secretary; J. R. Marr, Treasurer; M. H. (-'Hire-a-Hair'J 

 Ilartlove, Financial Secretary; A. H. Stout, Captain, and Jas. Deightou 

 Quartermaster. The tournament was in charge of the following com- 

 mittee: W. H. Hartlove, Chairman; Chas. Fehrenbach, Secretary; 

 John Gaughen, Jas. Deighton, John Underwood, Lewis Fox and Cuesta 

 McConnelf The committee had equipped a set of expert bluerock 

 traps and a set of Keystone traps, but the former traps and bluerock 

 targets alone were used. J. K. Woodward, the former poet-secretary 

 of the club, officiated as cashier. The usual lunch tent was pitched 

 near the club house. 



The attendance was good considering the weather, there being nine- 

 teen entries in some events. There were probably about twenty-flve 



Atwater, formerl3'- of Chicago, Washington and New York and now 

 located once more in AVashington, where he is booming the bicycle 

 trade; Enoch D. Rlaller, of Springfield, N. J.; W. Fred Quimby, of New 

 York, full of talk anent canvas and leather, bluerocks, etc. ; Jos. H. 

 Hunter, of Washington, who is still deploring the untimely and unac- 

 countable loss of Daisy Hunter; Messrs. Cleaver and Evans, of Cam- 

 den, Del., and Eddy CoUins, of Hoboken, N. J. The local shots did not 

 turn out as strong as they were expected to, despite the attractions of 

 the "Jack Rabbit" sj'stem, which was incorporated into the pro- 

 gramme for their especial benefit. Despite bad weather the day was 

 spent in a jolly manner and over 3,000 targets were thrown. The pro- 

 gramme was adhered to with the exception that the two-men team 

 race was postponed to the following day. Traps and targets worked 

 well and in fact everything went along smoothly and pleasantly. In 

 the evening after supper some of the party meandered to the Grand 

 Opera House to see the athletic entertainment given by the Warren 

 Athletic dub, others passed the time at the pool tables or in ways 

 most congenial to themselves. Below are details of the day's shooting:

The Second Day 



bade fair during its early hours of giving spring weather, the sun shin- 

 ning bright and strong and there ibeing only a light breeze. The con- 

 ditions obtained untU close to 11 o'clock, when the wind sheered about 

 and came raw and cutting from the northeast, and the air became chill 

 and damp. This was endurable so long as the sun shone, but about 

 2:30 Old Sol disappeared under the clouds and failed to reappear. Colder 

 and damper grew the air until everybody began to shiver and shake as 

 though with the ague. Overcoats and gloves were in demand, but even 

 these failed to give sufficient w^armth. 



The crowd was much larger, the events running up to twenty-four. 

 Among the new-comers were Jos. Thurman, Jr. and "Rainbow" Harry 

 Thurman, of Germantown, Pa. ; W. H. Green, J. MUls, P. T. WUlard and 

 T. W. Cummings. of PhUadelphia; "Tee Kay" Keller, of Plainfield, with 

 a fresh stock of cUmaxes and new .22-shorts; Charley Smith, of Plain- 

 field, the great and only "Dutchy:" J. AV. Young, T. Wright, L. Duff 

 and B. Duff, of the None Such Gun Club, of Newport, Del. 



The mo.st interesting events were Nos. 6 and 8, the former for two- 

 men teams, 25 targets ijer man (postponed from the previous day), and 

 the latter at 50 targets per man for the championship of the Middle 

 States. No. 6 had eight teams up, first honors being won in handsome 

 stj'le by HaiTy Thurman and H. Landis on an aggregate of 47 breaks. 

 In the championship contest Harry Landis struck a great pace, break- 

 ing 23 out of his first 25 and getting the last 25 straight. Enoch D. 

 Miller and W. H. La Rue were close up, having 46 each. The shooting 

 was kept up untU after 6 o'clock. 



In the evening the party adjourned to a neighboring pool room to 

 witness a series of match games between Fred Quimby and Enoch 

 MiUer. These two crack players had a battle royal for an hour, when 

 the honors being even, they decided to cry "quits." During the play- 

 ing some practical joker picked up Fred. Quimby's sack-coat and sent 

 it to the hotel, thinking to compel Fred to walk home in his shirt 

 sleeves. When ready to leave, however, and finding that no one knew 

 of the whereabouts of the above coat, Fred walked to another part of 

 the room, took his overcoat off a peg and put it on with the remark 

 that "an overcoat is the most comfortable in this climate." This put 

 the joke on the joker. Later in the evening the party made a social 

 call on President "Bilderbach" and passed a few hom-s in a pleasant 

 manner.

nie Final Day 



saw a considerable thinning out of the party, the opening hours being 

 threatenmg and frightening several away. Until 9:30 A. M. it rained 

 at intervals and the clouds looked as though a heavy storm was im- 

 pending. After 10 o'clock aU was changed, the clouds clearing away 

 and the sun shining warm and clear. The conditions obtained untU 

 3:.S0, when it became cloudy once more, and the air got quite chilly. 

 The shooters who remained in town had a good day's fun at the traps, 

 there being nineteen events shot, the results of which follow:

Wadsworth Medal. 



Hartfoed, Conn.. April 29.— Kdrtor Forest and Stream: Early in 

 the year Mr. Dan Wadsworth presented the Colt Gun Club with a 

 handsome medal. The conditions are 50 targets, 5 traps, known 

 angles, winner subject to a challenge once a month, and when so 

 chaUenged any member can compete. It was first won by Fred Ris- 

 ley with a score of 47. Mr. Melrose got his shooting ideas up and 

 thought he could take it away from Risley, and challenged him to 

 shoot for it on the 29th. The threatening weather kept^many away, 

 and only six finished their scores for it. Mr. Risley won (by a block) 

 with the good score of 49. I send scores of those that finished:

Martin Defeats Lanzer. 



An interesting shooting match took place on AVednesday April 26, 

 at Ridgewood Park, L. I., between two weU known Eastern District' 

 wing shots, Frank Lanzer and Ignatz Martin. The conditions were 

 each man to shoot at 50 live birds, 2oyds. rise, for $50 a side. Lanzer 

 was the favorite, although Martin is a fine riUe shot and does not 

 have much exfierience witb the shotgun. 



Lanzer commenced weU at the start, but after the 10th round 

 gradually feU back and at the close of the 48th round was beaten by 3 

 birds. Considerable money changed hands and another match is soon 

 Ukely to be ari-anged. Referee, Mr. T. Short. The scores:
