FOREST AND STREAM 
[Oct. 21, 1911. 
Du Pont Gun Club. 
The two-day registered tournament held by the Du 
Pont Gun Club failed to draw a large entry list, due no 
doubt to the fact that the first day opened up very un¬ 
pleasant. In fact, there was no representation from 
Philadelphia, from which city we hoped to draw at least 
two squads. On Wednesday the rain delayed the shoot¬ 
ing until 10:30, when the events were started, notice 
being given locally and by telephone to Philadelphia 
that shooters arriving on the grounds by 1:30 would be 
allowed to shoot up. 
A. B. Richardson, of Dover, Del., former State cham¬ 
pion. was the only contestant to make any spectacular 
scores during the first day. His 148 out of 150 was ex¬ 
ceptionally good. Lester German was second with 145, 
and Eugene E. du Pont, who shot so well during the 
Eastern Handicap, was third with 144. 
The "Wolf” event at 50 targets made the most attrac¬ 
tive feature for the day. It was won by Wm. Foord, of 
Wilmington with a score of 44. Neaf Apgar was high 
in the event with 45, German tying with the winner. The 
“Wolf” event was a new feature for Eastern shooters, 
although it is quite popular in the Middle West. The 
conditions governing the 50 targets being: All contest¬ 
ants to stand at 18yds., and the targets to be thrown from 
65 to 80yds., and it may be said in passing that the 
targets were about as mean as possibly could be thrown, 
the trap boys having been instructed to do their worst. 
From a glance at the scores it will be seen that some 
of the shooters require quite a little practice if they 
wish to become proficient in making good scores on 
such targets. 
Thursday opened very pleasant and quite a few ad¬ 
ditional shooters were on hand, a squad from Philadel¬ 
phia making their appearance. 
The cross-winds made shooting rather difficult, but 
good scores were the order of the day. W. S. Colfax, 
Jr., formerly of Pompton Lakes, now a resident of Wil¬ 
mington, Del., went down the line with only 4 misses 
out of 150 targets, with a run of 103. E. H. Storr started 
like a whirlwind, breaking his first 60 straight, and miss¬ 
ing one in his fifth event. He finished with 144, tying with 
H. L. Worthington for second place. 
The Wawaset trophy at 100 targets, open to amateurs 
and professionals living within a radius of 200 miles of 
Wilmington, was tied for by Neaf Apgar and II. L. 
Worthington. In the shoot-oft at 25 targets, H. L. 
Worthington won by a score of 23 to 21. The Wawaset 
trophy is one that was put in competition by the 
Wawaset Gun Club, Wilmington, Del., in 1906. The 
trophy was held by Wm. Foord and was redeemed by 
the Du Pont Gun Club and put in open competition at 
this tournament. The trophy remains the property of the 
Wawaset club until after the final ownership has been 
decided, this to be decided after the trophy has been 
shot for and won eighteen different times. In the final 
shoot, only those who have their names engraved on it 
are eligible. 
The Western Union and Postal companies both had 
wires with operators at the club house to accommodate 
reporters for local and Philadelphia papers. 
The trade was represented by Geo. L. Lyon and G. F. 
Clark, of U. M. C. Co.; F. Fay, of the Stevens Arms and 
Tool Co.; T. H. Keller, Jr., of the Hunter Arms Co.; 
Tom Keller, Neaf Apgar and Emory Storr, of the 
Peters Cartridge Co.; Lester S. German, of the E. I. du 
Pont de Nemours Powder Co.: H. L. Worthington and 
J. Mc.weli Hawkins, of the Winchester Repeating Arms 
Co., Mr. Hawkins being on the grounds during the first 
day, but did not shoot, retiring gracefully in favor of 
Mr. Worthington, who has the Wilmington territory in 
his district, and from the scores made, it will be seen 
that Mr. Worthington certainly did his duty. The 
genial J. F. Pratt, of the E. K. Tryon Co., of Phila¬ 
delphia, was on hand with his kit of tools, making him¬ 
self useful when a gun went wrong. The office was in 
charge of Lloyd R. Lewis and T. S. Chalfant, of the 
Du Pont Co. Nothing further need be said regarding 
the handling of that branch of the shoot, as the work 
of these gentlemen was, as usual, above criticism. The 
scores follow: 1
