Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., May 25.—Alden B. Richardson, 
of Dover, son of Senator Richardson, won a remarkable 
match for the Class A challenge cup on the grounds of 
the Du Pont Gun Club to-day. He successfully defended 
the trophy. His opponent was J. H. Minnick, of this 
city, who has lately been shooting in great form. Al¬ 
though the conditions governing the prize called for 
two events of 25 targets each, it was necessary for each 
rnan to shoot at lOO targets before the event was de¬ 
cided. The final score was: Richardson 98, Minnick. 94. 
The contest was a great display of marksmanship 
throughout. At the end of the first 25, Richardson had 
a straight score and his opponent made 24. At the 
end of the second 25, conditions were reversed. This 
made the score: Richardson, 49; Minnick 49. 
In the shoot-off at 25 targets the men again tied, 
each missing one. On the fourth round of 25, Rich¬ 
ardson made a straight score and Minnick broke 21. 
This decided the match. 
The Class B spoon event was also a close contest. 
W. G. W’ood, L. C. Lyon and H. P. Carlon each broke 
24 out of 25. In the shoot-off at 25 targets Wood and 
Carlon each broke 21, while Carlon scored 20. In the 
second shoot-off between Wood and Carlon, \\’ood 
broke 22 to his opponent’s 18. 
Forty-five marksmen were before the traps and there 
were a large number of spectators. Mr. Minnick won 
the Cole du Pont Class A spoon event with a straight 
score of 25. L. L. Jarrell won Class C event with a 
score of 23. I. B. Grier and Charles R. Kenworthy 
tied in Class D with scores of 18.
