The main feature of the shoot of the Orange, N. J., 
Gun Club, Oct. 17, was the contest for the Smith gun, 
in an event at 50 targets, between Dr. Charles E. Fleck 
and Mr. Frank R. Wickes, President of the club. Each 
had scored two legs on the gun, so that ownership de¬ 
pended on the win to-day. Fleck won, 41 to 39.

The shooting season of the New York Athletic Club 
opened on its shooting grounds at Travers Island on 
Saturday of last week. Sixteen took part in the com¬ 
petition, and good scores were much in evidence, Bill¬ 
ings and Atwood, Jr., scoring 25 straight from scratch. 
There were four trophy contests, the winners being 
Atwood, Jr., Pelham, Billings and Owen. 
At the tournament of the Delaware State Trapshooters’ 
League, held under the auspices of the Dover, Del., Gun 
Club, Oct. 14, Mr. A. B. Richardson, of Dover, won the 
State championship, defeating Mr. W. M. Foord, of 
Wilmington, after shooting off a tie on 95 out of 100. 
Mr. Richardson also was high amateur with 178. Mr. 
T. H. Keller, Jr., made high average, 182 out of 190. 
Mr. L. S. German was second with 181. The tournament 
was very pleasantly and satisfactorily conducted. 
Mr. Todd Russell, of New York, has established him¬ 
self at Kernersville, N. C., where he will tarry some 
months, training a few dogs and assisting in the man¬ 
agement of the Colfax Kennels. He has room for two 
or three more dogs in his string. Tie is a good trap 
shot, a good field shot, and a good trainer. He is a 
lawyer by profession—one of the best, by the way—but 
overwork and ill health enjoined a rest, which Mr. Rus¬ 
sell interpreted as embodying indulgence in his favorite 
avocation, namely, schooling dogs and caring for them, 
in all of which he is an expert and an enthusiast. He 
also has charge of the Kennel department of Outing 
magazine, and as he has had practical experience from 
boyhood in all that pertains to dog and gun on the one 
hand, and a practical and theoretical knowledge of law 
and journalism on the other hand, it is obvious that he 
is fully equipped for high class work in the interests 
of kennel advancement, and a great deal more besides.
