PLUM PUDDING SHOOT
over WILMINGTON TRAPS

On next Saturday a. plum puddingI
shoot has been arranged for local shoot
ers TO be held on the grounds OF the
Wilmington Trapshooting Association,
at Bellevue. There will be four classes
and several fine plum pudding prizes CO.
each class, and very likely a plum pLd-
ding for high professional. The profess
sional race win of course be shot on a.
handicap basis.
For several years, while the late Alden
B. Richardson, of Dover, was active in
Delaware trapshooting circles, Il was
his custom TO send a case of plum pud-
dings each fall 70 Wilmington for the
localities to contest for over the traps,
and this practice will be continued BY
his brother, w. w. Richardson. who.
though never taking an active part in
trapshooting, has always been a keen
follower Of the sport and still maintains
a deep interest in the "sport auuring.'
The shooters who participate in the
plum pudding shoot Will be classified be-
fore entering the contest, and the prizes
will be awarded to the high guns in each
class. This is an innovation at the viii
ming.on Trapshooting Club, where the
Lewis Glass System has been used 70
date, but IL is the intention of the Off
Gals to employ the system of c'assifica-
tion before shooting in the future to a
considerable extent.
Local trapshooters have never ceased
to regret the untimely passing of "Dol'
Richardson, for years one Of the most
popular shooters in the country, and this
feeling is shared by sportsmen through
out the land, and the plum pudding
shoot, while not arranged as such par.
ticulariy, will be considered by many
as fitting testimonial to "Dols and Is
sure TO be we'll attended.
The plum buildings will be shot for
on the first 25 targets shot on Saturday,
and the Dudley S. Wood trophy will be
contested for on the second %. while
the Interstate Association trophy viii
he the prize for the high gun on the
fifty target program. For the amateurs
the targets win all be 10 wards rise,
while the professionals win shoot under
distance handicap if all enter at the
same time. or on an added target basis
