Du Pont Trap Shooting Club. 
Wilmington, June 13, 1914. 
The half hundred shooters who participated in the 
regular weekly contest at the Dupont Trapshooting Club 
yesterday spent one of the most enjoyable afternoons 
in the history of the club. The conditions were abso¬ 
lutely perfect. The targets pursued their unbroken 
flight until demolished by some gunner’s perfect aim, 
or sought security in the long grass at the referee’s 
call of “lost.” The slight breeze served but to soften 
the glare of the rays of the sun, and the shoot went 
on interrupted. 
Several brands of spectacular shooting were on tap, 
and not a few released during the course of 'the after¬ 
noon. Right up at the top of the heap was Alden B. 
Richardson, of Dover, who after a bad start of 21 x 25, 
pulled himself together and missed but 2 in the last 
75, scoring 94 x 100. “Dol” has a habit of being high 
man at the local shoots. 
H. Linn Worthington, the professional representing 
the Winchester Co., who made the trip up from Balti¬ 
more to take in the shoot, and Joe Ben McHugh were 
close behind with 93 x 100. Joe’s score was 24, 24, 23, 
22, while Worthington’s was 23, 23, 23 and 24. One of the 
sensations of the day was the pointing of H. L. Craw¬ 
ford, of Dover, a comparatively new member of the 
club, and who travels with “Dol” Richardson. 
Crawford didn’t have much to say, but he jumped into 
the limelight with a score of 92, breaking 23, 21, 24 
and 24. “Dol” says he’ll make a shooter out of Craw¬ 
ford yet, and judging by Crawford’s performance of 
yesterday he hasn’t far to go. Shoot a tie with Craw¬ 
ford was Harry Carlon, a well known local dog fancier. 
Carlon took his as follows: 22, 23, 23 and 24. There 
were two ties on 91, J. T. Skelly and John Minnick 
registering this 'total. Skelly broke 23, 23, 22 and 23, 
while the latter turned in cards of 22, 21, 24 and 24. 
Stanley Tuchton, champion 88 per center of the United 
States and Canada, engaged Jim Roberson in a com¬ 
bat for the Class B Eugene duPont Challenge Cup. 
This was figured by the wise ones to develop into a 
tight little race, as both are shooters who ask odds 
of none. The match was at 50 targets per man, and at 
the half-way post the score was Tuchton 23, Roberson 
20. With 3 targets to the good Tuchton went right 
after them in the second round and clipped off 22, 
making a total of 45 x 50. Jim turned in another 20, 
making his total 40 x 50, and the match went to 
Tuchton by 5 targets. 
In the Coleman duPont Spoon events there was ac¬ 
tion enough to satisfy the most exacting. Ties re¬ 
sulted in every class but C, where H. L. Crawford 
slipped one over on the bunch with a 23, and walked 
off with the prize. The spoon contest in detail fol¬ 
lows, each contestant shooting at 25 targets:

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The call of the camp, the river and the links, proved 
stronger than that of the clays, and kept many regu¬ 
lars from attending the weekly shoot on June 13. Only 
three, members showed up, but they enjoyed the after¬ 
noon’s sport, and broke quite a few “mud” pies. Capt. 
Dameron is not yet in first class shape after his ill¬ 
ness, and could not connect with quite so many tar¬ 
gets as usual, his average of 83 per cent, being below 
his right work. Irwin and McKay shot at 150 each, the 
former getting a little over 89 per cent., and the latter 
79 per cent. - 
(Continued from page 8.) 
of those leathern boxing glove poultices might have to 
grace one side of the stock in days to come, and no 
boil ever looked handsome on a man’s nose. 
One of the gentlemen who had accompanied me 
from the office picked up a gun drew a light pencil 
mark on a surface that should have a bearing on an¬ 
other, closed the gun and when he had opened it the 
mark had disappeared as suddenly as a midsummer 
trout when a shadow falls across his pool. I went 
across to, the factory to see how this happens and how 
the working parts are made so true and smooth that a 
finger drawn across them is not retained as much as 
though it were brushed across polished plate glass. 
Although all things were explained to me I shall 
only tell what I saw and what you would see for an 
explanation without the workman or machine to look 
at would lose itself in a sea of words. 
The first workman I laid eyes on had just stamped 
two tubes with the number, seventeen, because out of 
ill of those around him they seemed to have a liking 
for each other and now will travel in the factory and 
thereafter together. While I was digesting this I saw 
a workman a long way off wave a wand over some¬ 
thing. What were the wild waves saying? When I 
got there the wand had turned into a top rib and 
he was fitting it and a lower rib to a pair of barrels. 
The rib was plain but later on I saw the ingenuous mat¬ 
ting machine which cuts the little wiggley furrows along 
the rib and makes it immune to the rays of light as you 
look along it. I went along a few steps and picked up- 
hammers, fore end irons, top levers and frames all 
in, the rough, curious looking things. But the ma¬ 
chines all about me, many of them have to be made 
right here in the factory themselves, were cutting 
them down for the hand finishing. The frames go 
through over a hundred machine processes. On the 
next floor I ran across several boxes of condemned 
parts. It looked good to me but it was forever con¬ 
demned because the steel didn’t come up to the high 
standard. The barrels and frames were now traveling 
in company and to some extent were being finished 
down together for I saw file marks upon them. I 
took a peek at a man working about some sink like 
troughs browning the barrels, a chemical process, and 
had taken but a few steps when I saw the frames 
and stocks in company but not the barrels. I must 
watch these slight of hand fellows more closely. As 
I had seen the, frames hollowed out now I saw the 
stocks, odd looking chunks of walnut, hollowed out to 
admit the frames. In the assembling room I stood be¬ 
side a little machine sporting a small emery wheel and 
watched the adjusting of and testing for the trigger 
pull. First the workman would break the gun in his 
hands, close it and snap the triggers, then go through 
the process by laying the barrels along a bench and 
force the gun open by pushing the stock down. He 
had a business-like way and an air of a man tuning 
a fiddle that convinced me that that gun was going to be 
perfection. Now here is something we can understand, 
the barrels are being trued up. A veteran gun maker 
stands between two benches, picks up a pair of bar¬ 
rels, points them at a large rectangle of ground glass 
with a black line across it, searches their interior, 
down come the barrels each end on a bench, bang goes 
the mallet and the process is repeated many times. 
Why all this? The eye cannot detect the curve in 
the barrels but the black line on the glass is reflected 
along the bore and the line can be straightened. On 
the way out I stopped to watch a little twenty-eight 
gauge tube being bored. The revolving cutting knives 
were being pulled through the barrels and oil was 
fed them automatically. This was a slow, careful 
operation of a machine just as the working down of 
the stocks is slow and careful under the hands. 
I didn’t see any man feeding a machine with both 
hands while a boy caught the finished parts in his 
hat, nor was the boring machine vomiting forth a 
shower of shavings. All motions were quiet, care¬ 
ful and sure whether made by human hands or cut¬ 
ting edge of a machine. Thought is lavished at every 
turn. Be assured of this, the rememberance of seeing 
your gun made is a pleasure through many an odd 
moment in after days.

pointing the muzzle of a weapon in the direction 
of another person is formed, a wise precaution 
becomes second nature, and prudence is exer¬ 
cised instinctively, without requiring special 
thought. 
Modern firearms are far more complicated 
than they were a generation ago, before automa¬ 
tic cocking and loading upon the ejection of 
the empty shell was devised. This fact is well 
known to most sportsmen, but the rule of safety 
is not a superfluous safeguard, particularly when 
the novice is beginning to learn in the fool’s 
school of experience.
