FOREST AND STREAM. 
The DuPont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., May 28.—Half a hundred devotees 
ot the shotgun spent yesterday afternoon at the traps of 
the Du Pont Gun Club, at Newbridge. Owing to con¬ 
trary winds, the usual high scores were not so much in 
evidence. J. T. Skelly was high man with a total of S7 
breaks out of 100 singles. J. B. McHugh, A. B. Rich¬ 
ardson, of Dover, former State champion, and E. E. du 
Pont were next in line. 
mu' 'Y' IIes f ian was a visitor at the club at both the 
1 hursday and Saturday shoots. Quite a good crowd of 
spectators were on hand to greet Mr. Hessian, as he is 
well known to all followers of the rifle and shotgun in 
this vicinity, and is a former Wilmingtonian. Hessian 
furnished amusement for the spectators by his remarkable 
pistol and revolver shooting over the club’s 50yd. range. 
™ s '<l es this, he shot remarkably well with the shotgun. 
Jhe club was especially pleased to have Mr. Hessian 
with them. He is regarded by critics as the foremost 
long-range rifle shot in the world. His most remark¬ 
able performance, and the one which brought him most 
fame, was at Camp Perry during 1909. At this time he 
made 57 consecutive bullseves at SOOyds., a record never 
before equalled nor since broken. 
The shoot for the Fox shotgun, value $100, which 
started on Feb. 1, ended yesterday, and was won by 
b. B. Trott, with a score of 248 out of 250, including 
added targets. 
In the T. Coleman du Pont merchandise event, T. \V 
Keithly was the winner in Class A. In Class B. T. B. 
Rogers and Eugene E. du Pont were tied for first place. 
Class C was won by D. J. Dougherty, and Class D by 
Harry T. Reed. 
The shooting to-day was rather difficult, owing to a 
stiff breeze, which caused the targets to dip very much. 
The scores yesterday, out of 25 shot at, were: A B. 
Richardson 19, J. B. McHugh 19, S. G. Davis 13, F H

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, May 20.—-No doubt the attendance to-day 
was considerably cut down, on account of the threaten¬ 
ing clouds which overcast the sky and which eventually 
did spoil the sport of. the afternoon. 
After the final half of the handicap event had been 
shot, the rain came pouring down and put an end to 
the shooting until Mitchell and MacLachlan decided to 
finish their half by shooting from the club house porch, 
which is 40yds. rise. 
MacLachlan and Matthews then shot two frames from 
the porch while the rain was pouring down, MacLachlan 
breaking 23 out of the 50, while Matthews scored 19. 
In a practice event, Graham scored 25 straight, 
Matthews following with 24 and Merrill grassed 22. 
In event No. 1, Merrill and Graham were the top- 
notchers with scores of 48 out of 50, Matthews getting 47. 
First honors went to Barton in event No. 3, when he 
scored 48 out of 50 from 20yds., Matthews getting 44 
and Graham 41, both from 19yds., these three shooters 
shooting the last half after the rain had stopped. Mac¬ 
Lachlan had a 24 and Merrill 21 to their credit in the 
first half, when the rain halted them and they had to get 
away on the early train.

Events Nos. 4 and 5 were from 40yds. 
May 21.—Although the weather looked rather threaten¬ 
ing, twenty-five shooters decided to take the chance of 
getting an afternoon’s sport at the traps; but we had no 
more than got fairly started before a “young” cyclone 
came tearing past which was followed by a rainstorm 
that almost resembled a cloudburst, and every one was 
glad to get inside the club house. 
After a short time the sky cleared off and they went 
at it again, only to be driven to cover by another storm, 
which was almost a repetition of the first, and from 
that time on the shooting was done between showers, 
the different squads seldom having time to finish a 
frame before it would come down good and heavy. 
When taking in consideration the many interruptions 
caused by the rain, the scores put up by most of the 
shooters are good, and quite a number are hard to beat 
when the “going” is good. 
In the practice event at twenty-five singles, Young and 
Mitchell each broke 24, Kumpfer getting 22, while 
Shrigley, Kuss and Mott each connected with 21. 
Fetherston walked away with first honors in event 
No. 1 with the excellent score of 49, Shaw and Mitchell 
giving him a clase race by scoring 48, while Young was 
hot after them with 47. Davis and Taggart each broke 
45, Shrigley being next in line with 43, while Miss A. 
Riker brought down 42. 
Mitchell put up the high score in the handicap event, 
breaking 48 from 16yds., Ralph Kuss being higli amateur 
m this event, with a score of 45 from 18yds., C. E. Shaw 
connected with 43 from 20yds., Young bringing down 
40 from the same handicap, while Davis and Taggart 
each scored 40 from 19yds. 
Young, Mitchell, Taggart, Kumpfer and Kuss all put 
up good scores in several matches at 21yds., in one 
of which Mrs. Fetherston joined in and broke 15, this 
being her first trial at such a handicap. 
Collier also did well for his first trial on a handicap, 
especially with a borrowed gun and the first time he 
ha j S u 0t °" our S roun ds, he being here from New York, 
and he said had made up his mind to come out and 
have a look at our park and assured us that he will be 
with us whenever he gets to Chicago.

Manhatta. 
Smith Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J.. May 28.- There was a good-sized turn¬ 
out of shooters at the weekly sweepstake tournament of 
the Smith Gun Club on its Bloomfield avenue grounds 
yesterday afternoon. A stiff breeze, blowing across the 
traps, bothered the men considerably and prevented the 
breaking of records. For the honor of high gun for the 
day there was a nip-and-tuck contest between C. W. 
Billings and Louis Colquitt. The former finally won 
by a single bird, having broken 19l targets to the 190 
smashed by Colquitt, each man having shot eight strings 
of 25, or a total of 200 targets apiece. IT. Lee gave them 
a close run, making a score of 183 out of 200. Excellent 
shooting was done by H. S. Lindle and S. G. Francisco, 
who each broke 109 targets out of a string of 125. W. 
Laing smashed 89 out of 100, and all the other partici¬ 
pants in the sport of the afternoon overcame the wind 
handicap in splendid style. The club will have an all¬ 
day shoot on Tuesday, Memorial Day, beginning at 10 
o’clock in the morning and .continuing until dark. The 
chief event of the day will be a 100-bird sliding handicap 
merchandise prize sweepstake. This will take place in tbs 
afternoon, and there will be a dozen handsome prizes. 
Following are the scores made yesterday:

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., May 2S.—The regular weekly 
shoot of the Analostan Gun Club was held May 27. Phil 
Stenbener made the splendid score of 96 out of 100. The 
targets were thrown full 50yds., and the northeast wind 
which prevailed made the shooting difficult. Steubener 
is a very quick shot, and this accounts for his success. 
His good work will be appreciated when his score is 
compared with those of other members, which follow:

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., May 24.—Just a dozen shooters took 
part in the Paleface program of to-day, and a better treat 
could hardly have been imagined in view of the high 
class scores that were invariably in evidence. 
O. R. Dickey with his new black shell placed a pretty 
98 for high average, but at that was only one too good 
for the president of the Association, whose 97 and run 
of 75 was the best amateur effort. Little Billy Hurd, 
of the Beverly Club, also gave a good account of him-
