FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July 8, 1911. 
DuPont Gun Club’s “Housewarming 
Handicap.” 
\\ ilmington, Del., July 1.—The seventh month of the 
year 1911 was started here to-day by the Du Pont Gun 
Club holding its House-warming Handicap, to celebrate 
the opening of the addition to its club house, the 
grading of the grounds, and the other improvements 
demanded by the growing membership of this thriving 
and enterprising organization. 
Eighty-six shooters took part in the event, 100 targets 
per man, entrance $1.25 (including an excellent lunch), 
three prizes being offered to the three high guns, viz., 
six solid silver Du Pont spoons to the winner, four to 
the second high gun, and two to the third. In addition 
to the above, there was an optional sweep of $2 on the 
100 targets, four moneys, high guns, 40, 30, 20 and 10 
per cent. The contest was open to all. This was in 
the nature of an experiment, but it hardly panned out as 
was hoped, for while first prize went to an amateur, the 
bulk of the purse and the balance of the prizes went to 
two first-class professionals—Lester German and Linn 
Worthington, both of whom did most excellent shooting 
from 22 _ and 21yds. respectively. The winner of first 
prize hailed from the Clearview Gun Club, of Phila¬ 
delphia—H. B. Fisher—who broke 95 from the 18yd. 
mark. Worthington and German each broke 94. while 
E. E. du Pont, of Wilmington, and H. W. Kahler, of 
Philadelphia, divided third and fourth moneys on 91 
each, Kahler shooting from 21yds., and Mr. du Pont 
from 19. H. G. Buckwalter, who also' broke 91, was 
not in the sweep. 
The weather was extremely warm and sultry, there 
being but little breeze to either temper the heat or cause 
the targets to cut didoes. T. E. Doremus, the club’s 
secretary, and his assistants, Messrs. W. x\. Joslyn and 
Chalfant, did all they could to make things move 
smoothly, but late in the afternoon things went wrong 
with the traps, causing delay and vexation of spirit to 
the management and contestants alike. Still, it was a 
great and pleasant shoot, and augured well for the suc¬ 
cess of the Eastern Handicap tournament, to be held on 
these grounds next week, July 11-13.

REPLACING GAME BIRDS. 
Those Commonwealths which are active in the 
work of protection and propagation of game 
birds have grown to realize that something must 
be done to replace quail, prairie chickens and 
other native birds, said Wallace Evans, of Oak 
Park, Ill., who is at the New Ebbitt, in speaking 
of game. “Iowa is now stocking its wild regions 
with pheasants, and Indiana and Oklahoma aiso 
have realized the qualities of the pheasant and 
now welcome it as an immigrant. 
“The pheasant makes a huntsman’s paradise. 
In England it is slain in numbers which would 
be considered slaughter in this country. A single 
day’s bag of many hundreds is common. Im¬ 
mense killing has been going on for years—to 
such an extent indeed that it would arouse the 
protests of Americans if inflicted on our own 
native game. But there are more pheasants in 
England now than there were twenty-five years 
ago, and the number is always increasing. Thick¬ 
ly settled country regions are found habitable by 
this valuable bird. Iowa and a few other States 
realize this now, and their game commissioners 
are particularly active in settling the country 
with pheasants in abundance. — Washington 
Herald. 
THE MOOSE IN MAINE. 
L. T. Carleton, formerly chairman of the fish 
and game commission, said that he had been able 
to note some great changes in the game condi¬ 
tions in Maine. 
When he was a boy the greatest number of 
moose had been found in the Rangeley region 
where they had been hunted on the crust with 
dogs and driven out of that section. There were 
plenty a few years ago in the Spencer Pond and 
East Branch regions. 
The conditions in Maine are changing to a 
vast extent, and vast solitudes of former years 
are solitudes no longer, but are ringing with the 
cries of lumbermen and the whistle of the loco¬ 
motive. The moose is a lover of solitude and 
is ever on the search for the quiet places of the 
big woods. 
New railroads that are planned are bound to 
drive them from their haunts, and it will be 
next to impossible to save them to the State. 
The animal is all but doomed by modern con¬ 
ditions, no matter how tragic his fate may be.— 
Waterville Sentinel.
