Lou Erhardt's Shoot. 
Atchibon, Kan., April 17.— Airy Lou Hardt's shoot Is over, and if 
a large attendance Is any criterion to go by in gauging the success of 
a tournament, then this was certainly one of the most remarkable 
events of its kind ever held in this section, and Erhardt has good cause 
for feeling elated. On the opening day of the shoot it looked as if all 
the shooters in the West had met in Atbison; when the entries had 
closed for the first amateur event the record showed 108 entries In 
addition to the amateur element there was also a goodly delegation of 
trade representatives, who were debarred from taking part in these 
contests; otherwise the entry list would have been much larger. For 
the benefit of the professionals there were four events each day open 
to all. In all these events the entry list was heavy, No. 2 on the open- 
ing day closing with 71 shooters. 
The tournament was held at the race track, about two miles from 
the city; this made them rather hard of access, as there was no line 
of cars that could be used in getting to them At the grounds them- 
selves ample preparation had been made for the large crowd. Four 
sets of empire traps were in position; two were used exclusively for 
amateur events, the othar pair being devoted to running off the opau 
events. This enabled everybody to get all the shoot'ng they wanted. 
As soon as the regular events had been disposed off, extras were 
gotten up to suit the whims of those present, every known style 
of shooting being indulged in during the tournament. Jack Parker 
managed the shoot, and did it in his best style. 
Shooters began to arrive on Sunday, and it was my good fortune to 
fall in with the Joplin delegation at Kansas City. This delegation, 
twenty strong, traveled to Atchison in a special car, elaborately 
decorated, making it the center of attraction at every depot along the 
line. There was a streamer on each side of the car, running the entire 
length, that bore the inscription: '-$1 .275.00 added. Joplin Gun Club 
Tournament and Owl Shoot. April 28,29 and 80. JM/W6.00 added." 
The Joplin boys are evidently determined to keep their shoot before 
the public; and are succeeding admirably in doing so. They are going 
to give "a dead square shoot" for glory only. 
The.number of new faces I met at this shoot fairly floored me, and 
it is more than possible that I have not been able to get acquainted 
with all of them. Below is a list of those who were there, and if I 
have omitted any names, I hope I shall be pardoned:

WIND AND DOST AGAINST THE SHOOTERS. 
The weather duuag the shoot was fair, with the excaption of a little 
rain on Monday, which did not stop the shoot. Oi three of the four 
days the wind was blowing a gale, making targets take all sores of 
erratic turns; the dust, too, was something awful, being perfectly 
blinding at times. Under the circumstances, therefore, it 13 not sur- 
prising that very high averages were scarce. On the first day Charlie 
Budd was in the van in the professional class with 96 2 per cent, out 
of 80 targets shot at. Dick Merrill led the amateurs with' 91.8 for 160 
shot at. On the second day Heikes and Fred Gilbert tied for first 
placa in the professional detachment with 93.7 for the 80 targets shot 
at; Tom Marshall and Ed Rike were high among the amateurs with 
89 3 The next day, however, Merrill led the whole army with a p ar- 
centage of 95, making no less than tour straights. On the last day 
8ergeant, of Joplin, did some remarkably g jod shooting, making 5 
clean scores 4 of them in the regular events and 1 in the extras; he 
was high average with 94.3. 
HEIKES ON TOP, OF COURSE. 
But whan it comes to figuring up the general averages it will b) 
found that there are only six men out of a'l those that shot in tuis 
tournament that have a percentage of 90 or better. Rolla Heikes, of 
course, leads them all with an average of 92.5. Next to him comes 
Fred. Gilbert with 90 9, Cnarlie Budd being third in that class with a 
fraction over 90 per cent. In the amateur class Tom Marshall leads 
with 90 8; Merrill is second with 90.6, and RUe third with 90 per ceat. 
The tables of the scores tell the rest of the story. In each of tnese 
tables the first four events are the open ones, the last four tno<e open 
to amateurs only. 
SCORES OF THE FIRST DAY, APRIL 14. 
With a total of 132 shooters taking part in to day's events, the work 
of the squad hustlers and other officials was by no means light The 
fact that with this enormous number of eotri s the entire progamme 
was shot out proves that the management must, have drilled its 
assistants in a most able manner, and also proves that the empire 
traps and targets were fully equal to the emergency. 
There was some tall scoring during the day. Charlie Budd broke 77 
out of 80— an average of 96.2; Rolla Heikes scored 77 out of 80—95 per 
cent ; Heer registered 92 5 per cent, for 74 broken out of 80 shot at. Of 
those who shot out : he 'ull programme, Dick Merrill led with an aver- 
age of 91.8, Ed. Rike, or Dayton, O., being next to him with 90 per 
cent. All the scores follow:

E. C. CUP CONTEST. 
One of the most interesting events on the whole programme wea 
tha li. C. cup race, which took place yesterday. There were 28 
P * nt |. le l- ln ^ ms ev £ nt - u F - E - R °g er 8> the first man up, made a sWigh~ 
A. E. Bigelow, who shot in the second squad, also succeeded ij scr»r 
ing all of his targets. It looked for a long time as though DicK Mej - 
rill would also be in the tie with them; he ran 25 straight and then 
supped up on an easy one, having to be content with 29. Reust also 
scored 29, but lOBt his target early in the race. As it was rather late 
when the race was finished it was decided to shoot off the tie on the 
following morning at 50 targets each. 
This brought about a very pretty contest this morning, as both men 
were shooting in very good form. Bigelow missed his lith target- iu 
the 18th round Rogers tied the score by losing his target. Thev th«n 
ran straight until the 36th round, when Bigelow missed 2 targets in 
rapid succession, losing the match, as Rogers ran out with 49 out of 
50, to 46 scoied by Bigelow. The scores in the E. C. contest were-
