Hoik, s, 
of .€70- 
ilu- events that constittite the trophy contest. These are 
4, 6, 8, and 9, wliicla aggregate 100 shots, in these events 
!Vl cM urchy, Fulfcid and Fanning are tied, with a total 
-a rather meager percentage for shooters of this caliber. 
The only bit of good shooting was Heikes' 20 straights in the first 
double event, and his and McMurchy's similar performance in the 
expert event. 
While the shooting was of the ordinary, the weather conditions 
were largely responsible for this. A drenching rain fell up to 
about 12 o'clock, and for & while it was thought expedient to 
postpone the shoot until the following day. However, at 10 
o'clock a start was made, and this afterward proved a wise move, 
as in the afternoon the sun came out and made the shooting much 
pleasantcr. During the first part of the day it was difficult to 
judge a target correctly, as the dark weather and the high board 
fence that encases the shooting ground made the light very un- 
certain. Nos. 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9 are the events which count in 
the E. C. cup race. Thirty-seven shooters participated, but only 
sixteen of these shot in all "the events. The tab'e appended shows

"Wednesday, Oct. 12, Second Day. 
Everybody was in fine form to-day, and as a natural result 
the averages rank high, and some capital shooting was done. 
Young started off in stashing style, and never made a skip until 
he had the great run of 94 straight to his credit. The score does 
not evidence this, but No. 6 was shot before No. 5, and it was in 
this latter event that he lost his first target. Add to this a run 
of 7 from the previous day, and his total straight run amounts to 
101! Despite the fact that Heikes has the manifold duties of host, 
manager, squad hustler, etc., to perform, he is still setting the 
pace, and there are none that can do it more gracefully than he. 
It may not be just the proper thing to invite one's friends to a 
shoot and beat them too, but the Daddy of them all does it in 
such a gracious and congenial way that all keep Shooting with 
steady regularity. The attendance is much larger, and the shoot- 
ing progresses as smoothly as clock work. All told, forty-two 
names appear on the entry book to-day, and eighteen of these shot 
through the entire programme. Nos. 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are the ones 
that count in the E. C. cup race, and here Heikes gained a lead 
of 7 birds over McMurchv, who was tied with him yesterday, lul- 
ford scored one less than McMurchy, and Fanning is 4 behind 
Fulford. The score to-night is Heikes 2u2, McMurchy 195. hul- 
ford 194 Fanning 190. These are the four leaders. The weather is 
ideal, being clear and bright, which made shooting a pleasure.

Thursday, Oct. 13, Third Day. 
The lead of 7 targets that Heikes had over McMurchy last night 
the latter could not overcome in the remaining 80 targets that were 
yet to be shot on the E. C. cup race. In fact, he could not gam 
a single bird, and the best he couid do was to prevent him from 
increasing this lead, so that Heikes again won tiie trophy by this 
margin in a field ot the best shooting talent in the country, lul- 
ford who was third yesterday, managed to gain a bird on McMurchy, 
so that this pair are tied for second honors in the race. Gilbert to- 
day came to the front, and is on top with a general average of 
.897, thereby gaining 8 birds on Heikes in the general average, 
which insures him second place. Fulford, too, shot well, being 
second for the day with .868. McMurchy and Fanning are only 
.one bird behind him. 
A leaden sky and a bleak, raw atmosphere added to the difficulty 
of the shooting, for it is a hard matter to judge a target cor- 
rectly on these grounds on a dark day. Fanning won first in the 
double events on 17, without a tie, which netted him quite a neat 
Httle sum, as the money on this occasion was divided on the 
percentage system. The attendance was not quite so large as yes- 
terday, though thirty-six participated. There were no long runs 
made and the averages are not very high, no one being able to 
reach the 90 mark. The targets throughout the shoot have been 
thrown low and hard, so that it is no easy matter to maintain one's 
average. In No. 1 event there were no straights, which is the 
first time this has occurred during the tournament in the unknown 
angle events. One other feature of the shoot is that Heikes was 
shot out of the money twice to-day, once in a 20 bird event, and 
later on in a 15-bird race. The latter though occurred right afier 
he had won the E. C. cup, and it is probable that he let up a trifle 
just then.

The weather was of a wintry nature. It was a most difficult 
matter to keep warm. There was a cold, raw wind, with no sun- 
shine. If the latter had been in evidence, it would have been 
a typ'cal day for pigeon shooting. The birds were the usual lot, 
some ordinary and many as good as ever left the trap. 
The conditions of the event were 25 live birds, handicap rise, 
entrance $15, class shooting, five moneys, 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 per 
cent. By a rather singular coincidence second, third, fourth and 
fifth paid the same amount, $11. First was $22. Dr. L. O. Adams, 
of the Buckeye Gun Club, acted in the capacity of referee, to the 
satisfaction of all concerned.

Fourth Day, Friday, Oct. U. 
This was live-bird day, and there was but one event cn the 
programme, a 25-bird handicap, which showed up with twenty-two 
entries. It proved to be cpjite a shooting match, as only five of the 
participants failed to shoot into the money. There were no straight 
scores, and the nearest approach to this was young Elliston, who 
had the misfortune to lose one bird dead out of bounds by only a 
few feet. Had the usual 18in. wire screen encircled the boundary 
this bird would have gone to his credit, and he would have had 
the honor of beating all the cracks, as the two— Heikes and Young 
—who tied him for first place, each missed his bird clean. Ellis- 
ton reallv did the best shooting, as he also cut up the money with 
Heikes and Rike in the miss-and-out that preceded the main 
event. This event had seventeen entries, and the tnree above- 
mentioned had to kill 8 straight before they could take the pjt. 
llrikes kept up his good work, and again demonstrated to the 
talent that he is their master at any stage of the game; for it must 
be remembered that he shot from the scratch, and none of the 
other scratch men could equal his score. Thirty-two out of thirty- 
three is a killing pace from this mark. Charley Young's shooting 
is also worthy of mention, as he was much handicapped by his 
gun breaking down, to which to some extent his only miss in the 
big event must be attributed. It was evident that the first barrel 
was discharged prematurely, though he should have smothered it 
with the second, as it was a towering incomer. To Ouimby, 
however, belongs the honors of making the star kill of the day. 
His third bird was certainly a most remarkable piece of shooting, 
and the wicked flight that this bird put up is seldom equaled by 
any. He drew screamers with aggravating regularity, and it was 
a great piece of shooting for him to score 22 of these birds. And 
even at this, all of his lost birds arc dead out bounds. U. M. C. ' 
is another who shot a capital race. On no former occasion has 
he been able to kill 23 out of 25. Naturally he is much elated over 
bis achievement. Courtney too was in evidence, and it appeared 
far a while that he would equal U. M. C.'s score, but his last bird^ — 
dead out of bounds — was a very fast b'ue, one that was difficult 
to see, it being then late in the day. He had a very much swollen 
wrist to contend with. McMurchy, Fanning, Fulford. Gilbert 
and Elliott shot in their usual slashing style, though McMurchy 
had perhaps a shade the worst of the birds. 
Aftermath— Saturday, Oct. 15. 
Quimby vs. Thomas. 
During the tournament that has been in progress here all the 
week several matches were made, and these were decided to-day. 
The first was a race between Fred Quimby and U. M. C. Thomas, 
which resulted in a win for the former by 2 birds, the result being 
Quimby 22, Thomas 20. Nothing was involved in this but the 
price of the birds.

Young vs. Elliston. 
After this followed the match between Chas. Young, of Spring- 
field, O., and W. R. Elliston, of Nashville, '4'enn. This was ajso 
a 25-bird event, for $25 a side, loser to pay for the birds. Every 
one expected that this would prove to be a hotly contested event, 
as both the principals had scored 24 in the handicap ,on the 
previous day, and each had the reputation of being a cracking 
good pigeon shot. Elliston. however, was evidently out of form, 
and Young won rather easily by a score of 23 to 19. Elliston made 
a number of remarkable kills and had decidedly the worst of the 
draw, but it would have been a difficult matter to beat Young 
to-day, as he too was shooting a fine race. Elliston lost 3 birds 
dead out of bounds. Young shot a Smith gun and Schultze 
powder, loaded in U. M. C. Trap shells. Elliston shot a Greener 
gun, Schultze powder, loaded in metal-lined Winchester shel's. 
Jack Fanning acted as referee, Elliston is not satisfied, and 
speaks of shooting Young another race in the near future.

Elliston 
Heikes— Elliott vs. Gilbert— Budd. 
These four crackerjacks had arranged to have a little fun 
among themselves, and therefore arranged to shoot a team race 
against each other. The conditions ot me race were 5J live biids 
per man, $50 per team, loser to pay for the birds. This, like the 
race between Young and Elliston, did not prove near as interest- 
ing as was expected, for the two big men went down rather ea^i y 
before the Iowa pair. Elliott shot in very ragged form, as did 
also Heikes, along toward the close of the match, while on the 
other hand Gilbert put up the great score of 48 and Budd 46, 
making their total 94, the Winchester pair having scored 44 each 
and a total of SS. This landed Budd and Gilbert winners by 6 
birds. Gilbert shot a Smith gun, Du Pont powder in Leader shells. 
Budd shot a Parker gun, Hazard powder and U. M. C. Trap shells. 
Heikes shot a Winchester gun, S. hultze powder and Leader shells. 
Elliott shot a Winchester gun. Hazard powder in Leader shells. 
Fred Quimby was referee. The birds in this, as well as all of the 
.events, were a good, corking lot, and the weather was fine for 
pigeon shooting — bright and clear, with a tinge of frost in the air.

Elliston — Heikes. 
Mr. W. R. Elliston, of Nashville, who has been attending the 
tournament, incidentally to let the shooters know what Belle Meade 
had prepared for them next week, has challenged Mr. R. O. Heikes 
for the cast iron medal, and the latter has accepted, and the match 
will be shot at Belle Meade, Saturday, Oct. 22. Mr." Ellistsn is one 
of the very best pigeon shots in the South, and may perhaps 
make the bier Davton shooter exert himself to retain the trophy, 
Paux R, Lstzss.
