Labor Day Cruise of Delaware C. C. 
Swinging our duffle bags on our shoulders 
we caught the car for Newport, Saturday, Aug. 
31, arriving there at 12 noon. Some of us 
evidently remembered that old rhyme: 
“If bloomin’ duty doth with pleasure clash, 
Let bloomin’ duty go to smash,” 
for we went regardless of how much work we 
let go unfinished. The cruise was to last till 
Labor Day, and to be to Smalley’s Dam on 
the Christiana, a two hours’ paddle from New¬ 
port. 
About thirty members and guests of the 
Delaware C. C. left the club house at 1:15 
Saturday afternoon, and arrived at Smalley’s 
about 3:15. After a short portage over the 
dam, we paddled up the lake about a quarter 
of a mile to a grove which some of the party had 
picked out. As the grove was about thirty feet 
above water level, the drainage and view were 
all that were to be desired. 
Camp was soon made, and as supper was 
fast approaching, fires were quickly built while 
the men went out to visit the various farm 
houses to purchase milk, corn, etc., and to see 
if they could get an armful of straw, with which 
to ease our weary bones. That night every¬ 
one was genuinely tired and camp was soon 
quiet. 
Camp was astir at 7 o’clock Sunday morn¬ 
ing, and breakfast over, we put our respective 
tents to rights in short order, for there were 
many places to be explored—the stream itself 
and its branches. Most of the day was spent 
in fishing and exploring, and when night came, 
we were well pleased with the day. That night 
being the last, a roaring camp-fire was built 
and many of the songs that never die were 
sung around its cheerful glow. 
During the night a heavy thunderstorm 
came up, but as we were sheltered by the 
woods, we came through all right. The next 
day was spent in further explorations, dinner 
and breaking camp. Four o’clock saw us over 
the dam on our way home. Some of the party 
stopped about two thirds of the way home for 
supper which caused them to get to the club 
house about 8 o’clock, some two hours after 
the others. 
We all regretted that the season proper 
had come to a close, but many of us will refuse 
to consider it closed until falling snow shall 
declare that winter, the close of the year, is at 
hand. S. C. Singleton, Jr.

Mr. Elmer E. Shaner announces that “the places for 
holding the several handicap tournaments, the Grand 
American Handicap included, that will be directly given 
by the Interstate Association next year, will be decided 
upon at the annual meeting of the Association, sched¬ 
uled for Dec. 5-6. Gun clubs desiring any of said 
tournaments to be held on their grounds, should make 
application on or before Dec. 1. Each trapshooting 
season numerous gun clubs signify their intention of 
applying for these tournaments, to be held under their 
auspices the following year, but they fail to send in their 
application, or wait until it is too late for the Association 
to take action on them. Why not do it now?”
