REMINGTON ARMS—UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE CO., 299-301 Broadway, New York, N. Y. 
Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., July 7.—Just an even two dozen 
shooters took part in the events decided yesterday after¬ 
noon on the grounds of the Du Pont Gun Club. This 
was a good showing, considering the counter attractions 
offered and the hot weather that prevailed. 
The club management was disappointed in not having 
J. H. Minnick and A. B. Richardson, the State champion, 
get together and decide their match for the Class A 1911 
cup; also their tie for one of the Coleman du Pont 
spoons, which was offered to the local man making 
high score on all program events during the shoot yes¬ 
terday week between the All-New England team and 
the team representing All-Delaware. On that occasion 
Messrs. Minnick and Richardson tied on score of 169 
out of 180. Owing to Mr. Richardson being unable to 
attend the shoot yesterday, arrangements have been made 
for both matches to be shot next Saturday afternoon. 
This will make the program for that afternoon especially 
interesting, as both men are shooting a fast gait just now. 
Minnick showed yesterday that he was in good form, 
breaking 25 straight for the Class A spoon. In Class B 
Clyde Leedom, H. W. Bush and H. P. Carlon tied on 
22, and will shoot off the tie next Saturday. The Class C 
spoon went to Z H. Eofland on the excellent score of 
23, and R. S. Robinson won the Class D spoon on 
18 out of 25. 
The Class D cup (1911 trophy), recently held by S. T. 
Newman, was put up for open competition, no one hav¬ 
ing challenged the holder within the time limit set by 
the conditions. The winner yesterday afternoon was R. 
S. Robinson, who is now open to receive challenges 
and do his best to defend his title to the cup. 
A couple of novelties were introduced during the 
afternoon’s sport. The first was “quail shooting,” and 
Clyde Leedom and H: W. Bush showed their proficiency 
at "field shooting” by breaking 12 out of their 15 tar¬ 
gets. “QuaiL shooting” at the traps is carried out as 
follows: The gunner starts walking toward the trap, his 
gun held well below the elbow, as if hunting birds. He 
starts from 23yd. mark, and the puller is permitted to 
pull the trap and release the target any time after the 
gunner has started on his walk toward the trap. Some¬ 
times he lets him walk right up to the trap, and then 
again he pulls the trap just as soon as he has started. 
The event was quite interesting, and also proved how 
easy it was to miss targets even when standing “on top 
of the trap house.” 
The second novelty was an event at 25 targets, 
“Olympic style” of shooting. This means 18yds. rise, use 
of both barrels; targets thrown about 60yds., and with 
gun held between the armpit and hip until the target is 
in the air. E. A. W. Everitt showed the way with 22 
out of 25. Leedom broke 19, Carlon 17 and Skelly 16. 
It was at this style of shooting last week at Stockholm, 
Sweden, during the Olympic gathering, that J. R. 
Graham, of Ingleside. Ill., a member of the Chicago A. 
A., won the Olympic world’s individual championship 
with the wonderful total of 96 out of 100, two more than 
he broke when he led the winning American team 
which carried off earlier in the week the Olympic team 
championship of the world. 
The scores in the regular Coleman du Pont spoon 
contests, were as follows, each man shooting at 25 
targets: J. H. Minnick 25, *Edward Banks 25, *J. T. 
Skelly 24, W. M. Hammond 23, *E. A. W. Everitt 23, 
Z. H. Lofland 23, Clyde Leedom 22, IT. W. Bush 22, 
H. P. Carlon 22, T. E. Doremus 19, Dr. S. Steele 19, 
Dr. A. Patterson 19, T. W. Matthewson 19, R. S. Wood 
18, R. S. Robison 18, F. P. Ewing 17, D. A. Grier 17, 
J. H. Stadelman 17, W. I!. Smith, Jr., 16, J. A. Kaiser 
16, A. J. Curley 15, Dr. II. Betts 14, J. B. Grier 13, S. P. 
Livermore 12.
