sesses oratorical powers of a high degree, and held his audience 
from, start to finish. He touched briefly on the great work and 
high purposes of the Interstate Association, the progress it had 
made, the great assistance rendered by the Indianapolis Gun 
Club members as individuals and as a club, and for which he 
tendered thanks in behalf of the Association, and the appreciative 
manner in which the event had been adorned by the presence of 
so many gentlemen and beautiful ladies. He called attention to 
the excellence of the competition, in which the records of all 
prior G. A. H. scores and entries had been broken; the praise- 
worthy team competition and the phenomenal achievement of Mr. 
R. R. Barber in winning a double victory, the Introductory 
Handicap'and the G. A. H. ; and the gentlemantly class of shooters 
who made .the greatest of tournaments possible. No salient point 
was left untouched, yet each point was treated briefly and clearly 
and graciously. The team trophies were presented first. _ Mr. 
Barber, who is as retired and modest in private as he is re- 
doubtable in competition, felt somewhat overwhelmed by so much 
public honor. He was called upon for a speech, but Mr. Bennett 
explained that only by the most assiduous attention to the com- 
petition could the Consolation event be finished, therefore it was 
essential that the ceremony be made as brief as possible. ^ Mr. 
Bennett’s speech was accorded hearty applause. Mr. William 
Armstrong thereupon mounted the box which served as a rostrum, 
and in behalf of the Indianapolis Gun Club, of which he is an 
officer, he thanked the shooters for their generous support of the 
great tournament, the Interstate Association for their magnificent 
work, and concluded with some words of just praise bestowed on 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, the manager, and called for three cheers 
for him, which were heartily given. In the brief time that Mr. 
Armstrong was speaking, he demonstrated that he is a vigorous 
and tactful orator. 
After the cheers had subsided somewhat, there were earnest 
calls for “Shaner” and “speech.” Mr. Shaner quickly responded 
by thanking them for the honor, and explaining that the ex- 
igencies of the competition were pressing at that moment to 
such a degree that time for a speech was not to be spared, and 
that in behalf of the Interstate Association he was present to 
show how a tournament should be run, and would have to pro- 
ceed accordingly, which evoked more hearty cheers. The whole 
incident displayed the genuine good fellowship accorded the win- 
ners, the workers and the two managements, the Interstate Asso- 
ciation and the Indianapolis Club. 
As a whole, the handicaps as awarded by the comniittee, Messrs. 
E. H. Tripp, Indianapolis, Ind., Chairrhan; Lem. Willard, Chicago, 
Hi.; F. E. Mallory, Parkersburg, W. Va., P. C. Ward, Walnut 
Log, Tenn; Frank Alkire, Williamsport, O., were accepted as 
good ; but there was a few individual exceptions to this accept- 
ance, as there always has been and probably always will be. _ 
Of those who demurred, their greatest objection was against 
the handicap allotted the winner, Mr. Barber, whose distance was 
16yds. However, it should be borne in mind that no handicap 
committee can know the ability of all the shooters in the United 
States. Even if they knew all of them, they would not consider 
that a shooter, however good in private or ordinary competition 
in public, if not seasoned by campaigning, could perform near the 
maximum in the G. A. H. A glance at the scores will show that 
numerous other shooters of known excellence were on the 16yd. 
mark, and, had any one of them won, there is no doubt but what 
the same kind of criticism would have been uttered. Some one 
must win, and in a handicap whose scope takes in America, the 
one is quite likely to be “a dark horse.” All the “dark horses 
do not win, but each year brings out such a formidable aggrega- 
tion of them that they are not a negligible quantity in the com- 
petition. , , 1 , 
The records of the G. A. H. show, however, that the well- 
known experts are too heavily handicapped. With the continually 
growing odds due to the greater number of entries, the generally 
higher average of the scores, and the general increase in public 
knowledge concerning all the technical points of the competition, 
22yds. is too far back for any shooter to stand and compete 
against the skill and odds of the present day, even if such back 
marksmen are the invincible Crosby and Gilbert. 
The competition, in the matter of skill, was marvelous in its 
excellence. The targets were thrown a full 50yds. and perhaps a 
bit more. Ninety per cent, and over was quite the rule, though 
the poor ninety per cent, man now is in need of the tearful plea 
for protection from the 100 per cent, man, that the 80 per cent, 
man so feelingly uttered in his own behalf not many months ag^o. 
A distinct feature of wonderful skill was that exhibited by 
Messrs. G. 'W. Maxwell, of Holstein, Neb., and J. A. Flick, of 
Ravenna, O., each of whom are one-armed shooters. The former 
scored 96, the latter 97. Their performances would seem to indi- 
cate that an extra arm is superfluous. 
Mr. Barber, the winner, used Winchester shells, Dupont powder 
and a Lefever gun. , , , , t- j a 
The beautiful Fred A. Stone Scarecrow cup, donated by Fred A. 
Stone, of the “Wizard of Oz Company,” was won by Mr. W. G. 
Hearne, . representing the Marlin Fire Arms Co., of New Haven, 
Conn, it was for the best professional score in the G. A. H. It 
is a massive, valuable cup, beautifully designed. Mr. Hearne has 
been in the professional class only a few months, and in that 
time has come rapidly to the front in competition. The cup was 
publicly awarded at the club house on Thursday evening, by Mr. 
Bennett, and Mr. Hearne received hearty and unanimous con- 
gratulations. The scores; r.
