The Pacific Coast Handicap. 
The Interstate Association’s seventh Pacific Coast 
handicap tournament will be held at Portland, Ore., Aug’. 
117. 2S and 29, under the auspices of the Portland Gun 
Club. 
Portland, Ore., where roses bloom nearly the year 
round, is known as the “Rose City,” and it is well de¬ 
serving of the name. Nearly every inhabitant has his 
favorite variety, and in every yard they are to be seen 
blooming in great profusion during the summer. 
Portland is neither level nor extremely hilly, but is 
surrounded by high hills. As a residential city it is de 
lightful. For the tourist who finds pleasure in majestic, 
impressive mountain scenery, it has much to offer. The 
scenery along the Columbia River is said to excel in at¬ 
tractiveness that of the Hudson or Rhine. From Council 
Crest, an elevation near the city and easily reached by 
street cars, one can see the glistening peaks of Mount 
Hood, Mount Jefferson, Mount Adams, Mount St. 
Helens and Mount Rainier. Mount Hood commands the 
center of this fascinating picture. There are many little 
trips than can be made by steamer or by rail, each of 
which has its own distinctive charm. 
Portland’s buildings, traction lines and water system 
are those of a splendid modern city. Beautiful homes 
surrounded by green lawns and handsome shrubbery, 
with a wealth of roses, even in the poorest yards, makes 
this a peculiarly attractive home city. The streets are 
shaded by beautiful trees, and many well kept parks are 
so situated as to give the people of the city ready access 
to them. 
Portland’s location is not only picturesque, but prac¬ 
tical. The same river—the Willamette—which flows past 
Portland from the south, adding to the city’s charm, 
furnishes water-power, makes Portland’s harbor, and 
drains the productive Willamette Valley. The city is 
connected by rail and water with the Inland Empire, has 
rail connections with Central Oregon, and is connected 
by steam, electric lines, or both, West, North, South and 
East, and by fresh water with the Pacific. Portland is 
an ocean port—a world’s port—with a down-grade haul 
from 250,000 square miles of fertile territory. 
The Portland Gun Club is of the hustling variety, 
and its members are heartily interested in everything per¬ 
taining to trapshooting. They are also interested in game 
protectory and the enforcement of the laws pertaining to 
same, and arc at all times ready to give informal:.:-, to 
visiting sportsmen regarding the best and most con¬ 
venient game shooting grounds and fishing waters. Al¬ 
though young in years, the Portland Gun Club has gained 
the reputation of being composed of one of the most 
congenial lot of sportsmen as ever formed a trapshooting 
organization, and it is safe to say that they will not allow 
a single contestant at this tournament to leave feeling dis¬ 
satisfied. 
The committee having the immediate management 
of the tournament is fully capable of handling it, and as 
the tournaments given in Portland in the past have al¬ 
ways been well attended and greatly enjoyed, and as the 
interest in trapshooting throughout the Northwest was 
never greater than this year, it is confidently expected 
that this will be one of the best tournaments ever given 
on the West Coast.

Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Aug. 3. — There were so many 
specialties on the card to-day at the grounds of the Du 
Pont Gun Club that it was hard to keep track of the 
winners in the different events. Over forty shooters put 
in an appearance during the afternoon, and tried out 
their skill against the targets thrown in the F. L. Con- 
nable trophy race. Of that number Alden B. Richardson, 
of Dover, and Dave Lindsay, of this city, tied on 23 out 
of 25. Richardson shot from 22yds. as against 20yds. 
for his opponent. 
The main feature of the day’s shoot was the match 
between A. B. Richardson, holder, and E. A. Everitt, 
challenger, for the State championship. While this had 
been looked upon as a somewhat easy match for the 
title holder, the first quarter of the race did not promise 
an easy thing for the man from Dover. The score 
stood 24 to 22 in Everitt’s favor when the first 25 had 
been shot, but after that it was almost a procession. The 
totals for each succeeding 25 were: Richardson 25, 
Everitt 19; Richardson 24, Everitt IS; and Richardson 22, 
Everitt 24. The total was 93 for Richardson and 85 for 
Everitt. 
A special event during the afternoon was the final 
shoot-off for the 1911 class A cup. Ten men had qualified 
for this trophy. Of this number only J. H. Minnick and 
PI. H. Lukens were absent. Mr. Lukens is now in 
South America and Mr. Minnick was engaged in de¬ 
fending the honor of the Du Pont Gun Club at the 
grounds of the S. S. White Gun Club in Philadelphia. 
When the scores for the 1911 class A trophy were 
counted up, it was found that Eugene du Pont had won 
the shoot-off for final ownership by the satisfactory 
margin of two targets. His score of 48 was two targets 
better than that of 46 made by J. B. McHugh earlier in 
the afternoon. The scores made in this race, and the 
handicap apportioned each competitor were: Eugene du 
Pont (20) 48; J. B. McHugh (20) 46: Edward Banks (22) 
45; A. B. Richardson (22) 44; J. T. Skelly (22) 43; E. 
E. du Pont (20) 43; W. S. Colfax, Jr. (22) 40; and E. 
A. W. Everitt (21) 38. Thus Mr. Eugene du Pont won 
the coveted class A 1911 trophy. 
In the challenge contest for the class B cup (1912 
issue), Clyde Leedom shot away ahead of the class he is 
supposed to belong to, and scored 47 to the 35 recorded 
for the holder of the cup, D. Lindsay. 
J. A. McMullen, the challenger for the 1911 class D 
trophy, showed that he had a perfect right to challenge 
for the trophy by defeating the holder, Dr. E. O. Bul¬ 
lock, with a score of 37 to 30 out of 50.

teur, and also made long run, 58. G. A. Olson made

shoot falling on the first of the month, when many mem¬ 
bers were busy collecting their monthly bills. We had 
with us Mr. T. E. Fulford, who did nice work, but was
