E. C. Cup Championship. 
Wilmington, Del., April 6.—Mr. Geo. L. Lyon, of 
Durham, N. C., has at last been able to set a date for 
his match with Lester S. German, of Aberdeen, Md., 
for the E. C. cup, emblematic of the championship of 
the world at inanimate targets. That date is May 4 
next, and the place is the grounds of the Du Pont Gun 
Club, in this city. 
It will be remembered that Mr. Lyon won the cup and 
title that goes with it at Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 23, 
1911, the last day of the memorable Westy Hogan tour¬ 
nament. The race was shot under severe weather con¬ 
ditions, an erratic, but strong, wind making the targets 
hard to locate. The conditions were the same as for 
challenge matches, viz., 100 targets, unknown angles— 
50 targets expert rules, one man up, and 25 pairs. There 
were fifteen contestants, and Messrs. Lyon and German, 
when the smoke cleared away at the end of the contest, 
were found to be a tie with the following scores; 
Unknown Expert 
Angles. Rules. 25 Pairs. Total. 
G L Lyon . 98 35 46 179 
L S German. 98 39 42 179 
This tie necessitated a shoot-off, which was at 25 un¬ 
known angles, 25 expert rules and 10 pairs. The result 
was: 
Unknown Expert 
Angles. Rules. 10 pairs. Total. 
G L Lyon. 25 19 19 63 
L S German. 25 21 16 62 
After the match was over, Mr. German at once chal¬ 
lenged Mr. Lyon, and it was originally decided that the 
match would be shot on the grounds of the Du Pont 
Gun Club early in December of last year. A postpone¬ 
ment, however, was unavoidable, Mr. Lyon meeting 
with the sad loss of his father, who died suddenly in 
Baltimore two days before the date set for the match. 
Bad weather then made it impossible to bring off the 
match for some time, and it was finally decided that it 
should be shot on the date above mentioned, Saturday, 
May 4. 
This match will be the eighteenth that has been shot 
for the historic E. C. cup—four open contests and thir¬ 
teen challenge contests having been decided since the 
cup was first put up for competition in 1896. The pre¬ 
vious winners have been: W. R. Crosby, of O’Fallon, 
111., six times; Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake, la., five 
times; R. O. Heikes, of Dayton, O., four times and 
J. A. R. Elliott, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and G. L. Lyon, 
of Durham, N. C., once each. 
So many shooters from points far distant from Wil¬ 
mington, Del., have expressed their intention of visiting 
the Du Pont Gun Club’s grounds on May 4 to witness 
the match, that the club has decided to hold an all-day 
shoot with a regular program of events, the match of 
course to be the main feature of the day’s menu. No 
program has as yet been agreed upon, but in all prob¬ 
ability it will be a 100-target race (five events of 20 
targets each), with an optional sweep on each 20 targets 
and a trophy for each ten entries in the 100-target race; 
forty entries, four trophies; fifty entries, five trophies, 
and so on. Due notice will be given in these columns 
as soon as all particulars in regard to the day’s pro¬ 
gram have been decided. Blue Hen. 
Smith Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., April 6.—Scores and attendance were 
markedly improved here to-day. Chas. T. Day, Jr., ex- 
State champion, took high gun after drawing lots with

place slipped over to Henry Koegel with 44. Louis 
Colquitt and William Trowbridge each made a straight 
25. During May, a handsome double gun will be shot 
for. Contestants must shoot in each of the four weekly

GAME IN ALASKA. 
Continued from page 465. 
ficient to cite the fact that while a non-resident 
of Alaska may procure a hunting license which 
permits him to ship eighteen trophies from the 
Territory for $50, a resident of Alaska desiring 
to ship a single trophy of moose killed north 
of latitude 62 degrees must pay $40. The whole 
scale of shipping licenses should be revised, es¬ 
pecially with a view of placing the resident of 
Alaska at least on an equality with the non-resi¬ 
dent. 
In the fiscal year igii the number of non-resi¬ 
dent hunters obtaining hunting licenses was 
twenty-five, of whom twenty were citizens of 
the United States and five were residents of 
foreign countries. In the fiscal year 1910 the 
number of non-resident hunters taking out hunt¬ 
ing licenses was twenty-three, of whom twelve 
were citizens of the United States and eleven 
were residents of foreign countries. Residents 
of Alaska are not required to obtain hunting 
licenses, even in the Kenai Peninsula. 
The number of general game shipping licenses 
issued by this office in the last fiscal year was 
thirty-one, and the number of special moose ship¬ 
ping licenses (for moose killed south of latitude 
62 degrees only) issued during the same period 
was nineteen, to twelve d.fferent persons, of 
whom seven were citizens of the United States 
and five were residents of foreign countries. In 
the fiscal year igio there were twenty-three gen¬ 
eral game shipping licenses and eighteen special 
moose shipping licenses issued by this office. 
The total receipts of this office from the ad¬ 
ministration of the game law, consisting of fees 
for hunting licenses and shipping licenses, in the 
fiscal year ended June 30, 1911, was $4,590. Of 
this amount, $3,090 was paid in during the first 
quarter of the fiscal year, which is the principal 
hunting season for big game. In the first quar¬ 
ter of the current fiscal year the receipts for 
hunting and shipping licenses have amounted to 
$i„J 05 . 
The foregoing statements in regard to the 
issuance of shipping licenses do not indicate of 
course the number of game animals which were 
actually killed. Persons holding hunting licenses 
did not ship, it is presumed, trophies of all ani¬ 
mals killed by them. Nor do these statements 
take into account the large number of garne ani¬ 
mals killed for food, very few trophies of which 
are shipped out of Alaska. No record is given 
of the number of shore birds and waterfowl 
killed by sportsmen and hunters.
