Wawaset Gun Club’s Spring Annual. 
Wilmington, Del., May IS.—There were forty-six 
hooters who took part in the 1 first day’s programme for 
he annual spring tournament of the YVawaset Gun 
Club of this city. The number was lower than that 
>f former years, but the falling off in attendance may 
; >e attributed to two or more causes. First, the club 
I lecidt'd to do away with the sliding handicap, which 
iad been used in previous tournaments, and which really 
| ieemed to give satisfaction; second, the Pennsylvania 
State shoot to be held at Lebanon the succeeding week 
! mdoubtedly cut down the attendance. Lastly, the 
•xtra large number of shoots scheduled for the current 
j month probably had its effe'ct. Still, forty-six shooters 
s a goodly number to get together at any time or 
, dace, and that was the total recorded for the first 
lav’s shoot, May 15. 
j The race for first average was extremely kt’en, Ger¬ 
man finally nosing out the bunch by breaking 28 out 
! >f his last 30, and winning first place with a total of 
106 out of 180. A. B. Richardson, the Dover, Del., 
imateur, was second with 165, Wells third with 164 and 
1. M. Hawkins in fourth place with 163. P. B. Pfleger, 
! >f Easton, Pa, was second among the' amateurs with 159, 
tnd E M. Ludwick, of Honeybrok, Pa., landed third 
.vith 151, after a bad half hour or two in the high wind 
hat blew during the afternoon. 
Weather conditions were by no means favorable, as 
ilthough the sun was bright and the temperature warm, 
hdre was a strong southeast wind blowing that at 
imes approached the dignity of a gale, and played hob 
I with' both targets and scores. It was indeed a sporty 
i ?ame, and Richardson’s total of six straights out of 
welve events is well worth noting. Ludwick made a 
?reat start and dropped but five out of his first ninety. 
; lerman, who won first place, dropped four targets in 
] bis second event and three in his ninth. 
| A special feature of the shoot was the lunch tent, run 
( jy the veteran squad hustler, Bob McArdell, and 
! iromptly entitled Cafe McArdell. Under the spacious 
I ly Bob dealt out good things to eat at prices that were 
[ noderate enough to satisfy everybody except perhaps 
he’ caterer himself, who will probably know better next 
ime. 
[j The scores made on the first day, May 15, were as
