The Gfand American Handicap at Targets. 
The second Grand American Handicap at targets was held at 
Interstate Park, L. I., on July 16. 17, 18 and 19. 
The first day was devoted to sweepstake shooting, of which ten 
events were provided — five at 15 and five at 20 targets, entrance 
based on 10 cents per target. Each of Uie remaining three days 
had five sweepstake events each, and a special event at 100 targets, 
the Preliminary Handicap, the Grand American Handicap, and the 
Consolatioa Handicap, these handicap events being the only parts 
of the competition open to all, professionals and amateurs. Thus 
m the main the competition was devised for the amateur and care- 
fully safeguarded in his interests. Of the twenty-eight events 
provided in the programme for the four days, twent3'-five of them 
were for the amateur. Professionals were permitted to shoot "for 
targets only" in all events save the handicaps, in which all the 
contestants were assumed to have a competitive equal chance by 
virtue of the handicap. The purses in the regular events were di- 
vided in the ratios of 8, 5, 3 and 2, Rose system. Targets were 
deducted from the total entrance at 2 cents each. A total of $1,000 
was added by the Interstate Association, |100 of which was reserved 
to purchase a sterling silver trophy for the winner of first in the 
Grand American Handicap at targets. This trophy was a fruit 
set^ of beautiful design. 
Shooting commenced each-. day on the arrival of the 9:25 A. M. 
Long Island R. .R. train from Long Island City and Flatbush 
avenue. 
In the three handicap events, high guns governed, one place 
being provided for each five entries or fraction thereof, up to 100 
entries. Ties in these events were shot off at 25 targets. The tie 
finishes in many instances were close and not the least interesting 
part of the competition. 
Four sets of traps were provided, of which Nos. 1 and 3 were 
magautraps, No. 2 was Sergeant system and No. i expert traps. 
Stakes were driven 50yds. from the traps, in segments of circles 
within the field covered by the flights of the targets, and the latter 
were thrown with admirable regularity about the 50yd. marks 
so indicated. The targets were therefore thrown at good speed 
and were not easy to hit. The magautraps threw great varieties 
of flights, and the changes from raagatttrap to Sergeant system, 
thence to magautrap and thence to expert system gave the shooters 
a severe trying out in the matter of skill. 'The background added 
somewhat to the difliculties. Beyond the boundary fence, toward 
which the shooters faced, were woods and open. The luxuriant 
and dense masses of foliage of the trees in all the shades from light 
to the den.sest green, while beautiful and gratifying to the eye, 
formed a background of color in which many a target was obscured 
or lost to the contestant's eye at the moment of shooting, but its 
result made evident to the eye in tlie form of a goose egg on the 
score board. 
A large blackboard was provided for the scores at each set of 
traps, and the scorers kept the scores on them in plain view of 
aU, It was obligatory on each shooter to watch the scoreboard 
and see that his score was correctly entered thereon. No appeal 
concerning it was allowable after the contestant had passed on or 
out. The entering of the different squads on the blackboard was 
intrusted to the care of Mr. John Wright, of Pittsburg, and the 
neat, artistic and accurate manner in which he wrote the names 
of the contestants, not only made easy reading of them but made 
them pleasing to look at also. 
^ The cashier's office was most ably conducted by Messrs. J. K. 
Starr, of Philadelphia, and H. H. Stevens, of New ISrunswick, 
N. J. In the office of compiler of scores were Messrs. John D. 
Regan and J. B. Mockridge, both of whom are men of skill and 
experience in that department, having served in it at former handi- 
caps. 
The referees were Messrs. F. C. Snyder, Walter Winans, J. L. 
Gildersleeve and G. W. Morris. 
The scorers were Messrs. W. M. S. Dobson, W. P. Eberhard, 
W. H. Purcell and G. E. MacMannus. 
The messengers were Messrs. H. L. Merrifield, G. W. Belzer and 
Geo. H. Gilbert. 
The squad hustlers were Messrs. Howard Sergent and Charles 
A. North. 
The locker man was Mr. H. F. H. Dressel. 
The tournament ran from start to finish with admirable smooth- 
ness and expedition. So well were the different parts organized 
and managed by Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, the manager, that the 
tournament as a whole, with its multitude of interests and com- 
plexities, offered no obstacles whatever. 
There were 14,239 targets thrown on the first day; on the second 
16,620; on the third, 16,590; on the fourth, 11,983; total, 59,432. 
The mam interest in the tournament centered in the handicaps, 
of which there were three, and the most important of these was 
the Grand American Handicap at targets, shot on the third day. 
First honors in this were won by Mr. E. C. Griffith, of Pascoag, 
R. I., who also achieved the distinction of winning the Grand 
American Handicap at live birds a few months ago. Mr. Griffith 
shot well. He was careful throughout the contest, and cool, too, 
so far at least as externals indicated. He won his victory de- 
cisively, as a reference to the scores will show. While he seemed 
pleased over the victory, he bore himself with great modesty. He 
received quite an ovation when his last shot was fired and the 
prize won, for even then, although the competition was unfinished, 
there was no one who could equal his score. Winning both the 
great Interstate Association events of the year, establishes beyond 
question Mr. Griffith's place in the front rank of amateur shooters. 
As to the handicapping, it was received as well as could be ex- 
pected, when the personal interests of the shooters, the over- 
estimates of each other and underestimates of themselves, etc., 
are considered. It was noticeable that, however little some of the 
contestants knew about handicaps before one of the handicap 
events, they knew all about it after the event was over. Neverthe- 
less, some who predicted that a certain shooter was sure to win 
because he had such a good mark were not good prophets, for the 
reason that the good mark sure thong did not wm. Others who, 
according to their own ideas, were set back too far, made a good 
showing nevertheless, and others again, who were close in, did not 
do so well as they anticipated. It is a peculiarity of many shooters, 
however, that when they commence talking they stop thinking! 
This is particularly true when the subject is handicapping. When 
Mr. Fulford won, one or more of the amateurs remarked that if 
the professionals were not barred from the handicaps entirely it 
would be the end of them. Yet Mr. Fulford had not shot so 
well in the tournaments for some months past, even from the 16yd. 
mark, and as the handicap was open ahke to all it was for him to 
win who could, regardless of whether he was a professional or 
amateur. When Mr. Griffith won, some one or more of the pro- 
fessionals held that, from the back mark, they were outgunned, an 
absurd claim on its face to those who saw how some of the back 
mark men snuffed out the targets. Moreover, when we consider 
that soinetimes they broke 25 or more straight, the claim of out- 
gunned is still more absurd. The effort of the handicap commit- 
tee was to cut down the scores of the experts to those of the aver- 
age contestant by making greater difficulties for them, and this 
the committee barely succeeded in doing, as the scores will show. 
As a matter of cold fact, the experts shot in from 3 to 6yds. quicker 
time than the majority of the contestants, so that their handicaps 
wei e not heavy, as the distance might imply. Moreover, some one 
has to win. But it is doubtful if any one could win without evoking 
from some other contestant or contestants the remark that the 
winner was favored, or that the handicappers were grossly in- 
competent. No contestant could handicap himself so that to a 
certainty he could shoot at 100 targets, thereby making a certain 
score, and then shoot at 100 more and make the same score. In 
fact, the average 80 per cent, shooter may strike a 90 per cent, 
.gait at times, or he may fall below 80 per cent at other times. No 
doubt but what better handicaps could be established if one-half 
of the contestants reciprocally handicapped the other half. Never- 
theless, the handicappers were very well pleased with their work 
as a whole. As they did not in the least attempt to please any 
one, the feelings of the contestant";, so far as the handicappers 
are concerned, may be dismissed as irrelevant. 
The weather was most uncomfortably sultry. No more un- 
favorable dates could have been selected, in respect to weather. 
Mosquitoes were in such numbers in the evenings and were so 
voracious as to be pests. The management of Interstate Park 
equipped the doors and windows of the bedrooms with screens, 
but many of the occupants neglected to keep them closed, and 
suffered much discomfort in consequence. On account of the 
mosquitoes many of the visitors returned to town each night. The 
mosquito infliction, however, extended over Long Island. What 
was true of Interstate Park was true of the Long Island country. 
This season seemingly is most favorable to the mosquito, and it is 
unfortunate that the rich red blood of the shooters so gratifiies 
his appetite. 
There were many visitors of eminence in the realm of sportsman- 
^.p. The competition was watched with keen interest, and there 
WPS generous applause and congratulation to the victors. 
There were no averages or high averages in the programme, so 
that averages have no other than personal significance.

Tuesday, July 16, First Day. , 
The^weather was sultry and oppressive, owing to the liigh degree 
of humidity. A light 2 o'clock wind blew in the faces q_f th-e 
shooters, A rather unpleasant incident, unprecedented in the 
annals of the Interstate competitions was the summary removal of 
one of the referees for cause, by the manager. 
There were ten events on the day's -programme — five at 15 and 
five at 20 targets, entrance $1.50 and $2. All events were at un- 
known angles. This made a total of 175 targets, with a total 
entrance of $17.50.

The weather continued sultry, with but little breeze to relieve the 
discomfort of the heat and humiditj'. 
There was quite a readjustment of the handicaps. Fulford wa« 
set back to 21yds. Others were set back or forward accordingly as 
their form and scores indicated. 
There were three post entries. 
Mr. E. C. Griffith, of Pascoag, R. I., won the handicap with the 
excellent score of 95, scoring 22, 25, 24 and 24 from the 19yd. mark 
There were several warm finishes in the ties, Messrs. Banks and 
Hood shootmg at 75 to decide which should lead, while 50 target* 
were required in other instances. 
The conditions of the Grand American Handicap at targets were: 
Open to all, 100 bluerocks, unknown angles, $10 entrance, target": 
i'lni"'^? j' ,handicaps 14 to 25yds., high guns, not class shooting^ 
$200 added to the purse. The number of moneys into which the 
total purse was divided was determined by the number of entries 
received. In addition to first money, the winner received a 
sterling silver trophy, presented by the Interstate Association. 
The winners were as follows: Griffith, $128.96; Keystone, $112 84-
