^he Great "Wcstefn Handicap. 
tHE latest arid' greatest aririual G'reat Westeirri kaiidicM everit 
was held at Trinidad, Colo., brid'er the auspices of the Ttiriidad 
Gbn Club, Sept. 4, 6 and 6, arid the story thereof is orie that is 
pleasant to write. Thete had been some doubt iri the tttirids of 
people outside of the city of Trinidad whether a toutriament so 
far southwest and off the path of travel as it we're, Could attract 'a 
sufficiently large attendance to make it t'rbly successful. Eveii 
seme in the West were doubtful upori this point, arid a, visitor 
from the “valley” ^y'as heard to remark, “I atn ifraid tnat the 
attendance at Trinidad will riot be what the boys expect. Yob 
ask why ? Simply becaUse to dtaw fifty of ‘irio're shooteris there 
they must coriie from a radius of five huri'dre'd miles, which is too 
mr to go to a shoot in these days Whefi they ate so pleritiful.” 
Our friend was perfectly sincere in his prognostications, but as a 
prophet he whs a bad failure, for the simple reason that his ttoirit 
>s not that of the West, and he did riot uriderstafid that iri 
this couritry character is as broad as the reaches Betweferi cities, 
L distance is propottiohately Balafic'ed. 
i he boys of the Ttifiidad club kriew thfey would have a great shoot 
pd they prepared for it as fblly arid perfectly as it was possible 
to do, the result beirig orie 'of the .very best trapshooting tourneys 
pulled off in the shadow of the Rockies. The working force 
Of the club cprifeliAs 'of Messrs. J. C. Huddleson, F. M. Gooden, 
• , F. W. Caldwell, Eli Jeffries and Dr. Davenport, 
iJ'*' be a source of pride and satisfaction to these 
^riUemen to feel that they earned and received in this achieve- 
ment the cordial and unanimous indorsement and thanks of their 
fellow sportsmen in this and fifteen surrounding States. 
Trinidad is the southernmost important business city in Color- 
ado, and its prosperity _ is based not on gold or silver mining 
prospects, but on that_ infinitely more stable mining asset, coal, 
which surrounds the city on all sides, permeating the mountains 
in three or four great veins at elevations from six to nine thou- 
sand feet above sea level. The vast importance of these great 
fuel fields is just beginning to dawn upon the country, and this 
fact is bringing Trinidad to the front perhaps faster at present 
than any other important city in the West. It is beautifully and 
healthfully situated, and the men who have made it and in a meas- 
ure, hold its future, are the proud scions of the good old fami- 
lies of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and others of the great Central 
States, who in their early manhood followed the Western) Star. 
The tournament was held on the Fair grounds, at Elk’s Park, 
where the_ splendid buildings that permanently occupy the grounds 
were available for office Use and shelter, and everything was 
thrown wide open for the use of the visitors oft this occasion. 
Two blackbird traps threw the targets, and worked so success- 
fully that there was ho delay during the three days* shooting, and 
about seventy shooters finished the entire programme eaeh day in 
time for an early supper at their hotels. Everything was pah 
terned. after Grand American Handicap style, arid suCh art efiuip- 
Ineilt In the hands of the genial Frank CUnrtirigham, of St. Job, 
Missouri, as general manager, could rtot fail to be right. Our old 
friend A. E. McKertzie, of Denvet, was hlso thete, assisting the 
management iri various Ways arid bxteftdifig tne “glad harid” to 
tiCT’ comers, 
I'he prograriimfe itsfelf was v.eify attiractivle. Trie first arid second 
day ca'rried tWelv'e eve'rits each in 15 and 20-target matches. The 
third day wa.s devoted to. ah operi “ftee-for-all” event at lOO targets, 
heridicap distance 16 to 22yds., and the Denver Post trophy event, 
kame handicap, .but operi. to amateurs only. The club added an 
aggregate of $760 iri cash to the purses. This Included added 
money in each event, besides three daily amateur artd one daily 
professional average, and averages for the . entire programme, arid 
last, but not least, a $100 solid gold watch as the ttophy iri thfe 
free-for-all event. 
Except for slight daily showers, thfe weather was firie tfirough- 
out. The background was pe'rfect, arid orily oecasiorial severe gusts 
of wind stood in thfe way of very high average scores. Under 
these Conditions, many of the boys were disappointed in not in- 
Cre'asihg lli'eir usual scores; but this is explained in the fact that 
in that light atmosphere the loads carry much more compactly, 
giving a smaller killing circle, and the targets are seen so much 
more readily that a quick shot is apt to shoot even quicker than 
is his wont, and the necessity for absolute accuracy of aim is thus 
increased about 26 per cent. Several of the old-timers worked this 
theory out by shooting tests at stationary targets, and proved its 
correctness bej-ond question. 
In mentioning the pleasant features of this rneet we must not 
overlook the splendid dinners served by the ladies of a local fra- 
ternity ill the pavilion every day at noon. The writer rievfer par- 
took of a better meal on a shooting ground, add it is pleasant to 
add that thesfe tables were patforiized to the extent of at least 
$100 per day-. Theft, also, there was that fine product of the 
hoUsekeeperis att, a glorious three-story frosted cake, which the 
ladies dottated as a prize for the highest g-eneral average on the 
regular ptogi'amme. This made the contest among the top- 
ftotchers very interesting, and when in the end “the man who 
takes the cake” proved to be that_ great old campaigner, W. R. 
Crosby, the enthusiasm was great indeed. 
The cake was presented on the grounds in a neat speech _ by 
Mr. McKenzie, together with an original poem, which the writer 
regrets being unable to quote. Mr. Crosby replied in a few 
happily chosen words, and introduced Capt. Tom A. Marshall as 
the orator of the shooting game, when the latter made one of those 
heart-warming addresses which have made his voice known and 
sought for at all such functions, “when the shooting’s done and 
talk’s begun amid cheer and good-will to all.”- 
In order to allow the squad going through to- the^ coast for the 
Grand 'Western Interstate Handicap to take part in this event, 
the Great Western followed closely upon the Colorado Springs 
shoot, and Sept. 3 was designated as practice day._ In this contest 
that old veteran of the traps, Chas. W. Budd, distinguished him- 
self and pleased his Western friends by scoring the programme of 
100 targets straight. Many other good scores were also made. 
On the first programme day Harold Money, who has been in 
Colorado for some time and was thoroughly acclimated, led all the 
boys a merry race, and landed first place by scoring 196. He had 
a close competitor in Mr. Jos. Rohrer, one of the popular Western 
amateurs, who went through the day with only 5 down. 
The second day Flarry J. Taylor, the South Dakota amateur 
wonder, came around to his best f®rm, and cleaned up the pro- 
gramme with only 2 lost, which led the field. And in the pro- 
fessional ranks W. R. Crosby paced the bunch, losing but 4. 
This made the finish for general average honors very close in- 
deed. Crosby led with 12 lost on the programme. Money, who 
shot a great clip throughout, came in for second with 13 down, 
and Fred Gilbert, whose work throughout was fine, landed a tie, 
with Taylor for third, while D. C. Rand, the coming young 
Texas amateur, found himself master of fourth place. 
On Wednesday morning the free-for-all handicap was started as 
the opening feature. This was a very interesting race, in which 
the handicapping committee did good work in placing the ama- 
teurs and professionals in such positions as to make a relatively 
equal contest. The Trinidad boys arranged this event because, as 
they said, they wanted to see an old-fashioned shooting match, m 
which all had an equal interest at stake, and again the result 
justified their judgment. 
When the last round was fired it was found that two amateurs, 
Messrs. W. A. Veach, of Nebraska, and F. M. Gooden, of the 
Trinidad Gun Club, and one professional, the veteran Charlie 
Budd, had finished with 97 each. This required_ a shoot-off at 20 
birds. In tlie first string Gooden scored 17, while the other two 
contestants went straight. In the second string Budd lost 3, 
while Veach went through clean and won. 
The closing event was the Denver Post trophy contest, among 
amateurs, which has furnished som.e of the most animated races 
at the traps that the West has seen during the past two years. 
Here again the crowd was given a great entertainment in the 
work of Geo. W. Maxwell, the one-armed wonder of the West, 
who stood at ISyds. and scored 98 of the 100 targets, winning 
without a tie. Right next to him was that popular Kansas marks- 
man, Ed. O’Brien, who finished with 97. 
And so endeth the last chapter. Summarized scores of all who 
finished in the various events are appended.

Floating: Tottfnament and Exentsion. 
BeardStownj Jll.j Septi 15 . — This inuch advertised, njneh talked 
of Central Illinois tournament took place Sept. 13 and 14, as per 
schedule. Thiftk of starting to shoot at 8:30 A. M., and when 
you finish you are ninety miles away from the starting point, and 
that all day long you havfe been shooting at 2C0 targets from the 
traps of a moving barge. 
The gun Club kriown as that of the Iceberg, at Leardstown, 
111., secured for two days a steamboat arid double deck barge, 
the combined capacity of which is 1,400 people. The lower deck 
of the barge is fitted for dancing, with a good orchestra con- 
stantly in attendance. The secorid deck with chairs, settees and 
tables, and thus the shooting is in no way interfered with on 
the roof. The range is the iroof of the barge, on which was 
installed an automatic trap. This iroof has a space of 30 feet 
wide and 100 feet long; and was ample in every way for the ac- 
commodation of shooters. As to the background, an important 
thing in all tournaments, it was varied, being the scenery along 
ninety miles of the beautiful Illinois River. This, in case of a 
straightaway target, was clear, being up the river, but the side 
targets all went against dark green trees. You will readily 
perceive then that the changed conditions, being new to all, do 
away with the necessity of any handicaps, and it must be con- 
sidered any one’s gamfe Until the last shot has been fired. 
This was not art experiment with the club, as this was the 
fourth of the kind; but the previous efforts were confined to 
one day, with a trip down the river and return on same day. 
Visitors were urged to bring their wives, as the occasion was in 
the nature of an outing, as the river excursion was combined 
with trapshooting. There was not as large an attendance as was 
expected. Many staid at home through a misapprehension that 
the steamer was laid up for repairs, caused by coming in contact 
with a bridge pier at Pekin; but this accident was only the 
misplacement of a few boards on the guards, and she arrived at 
Beardstown docks the evening^ before the start. 
There were several of the wives of shooters on_ the boat, viz., 
Madames Coleman, Brannan, Lewis and Cummings, and with 
the dance at the close of the shoot they seemed well pleased 
with the outing. . 
Everything passed off according to the programme, with the 
exception of the time of arrival in Peoria, the boat did not land 
at .the foot of Main street until 9:20 P._ M., too- late for a trip 
to the pleasure resorts or theatres. This was caused by a rise 
in the river and by a lack of steam, the latter being caused by 
an inexperienced fireman. 
Mr. A. L. Cummings had charge of the office, and with plenty 
of assistance from club members, the shoot went on without a 
hitch, save now and then a stop at meeting some boat or passing 
a town where the pellets of shot might do some harm before 
they dropped in the water. 
The shoot was a novelty to the fishermen and residents of all 
the towns along the river, and the fish remained unmolested. 
Business for the time was suspended in the town at the time 
when the excursion was passing by. We pased during the day 
the towns of Frederick, Browning, Sharps Landing, Bath, Havana, 
Liverpool, Copperas Creek, Kingston and Pekin. 
It was interesting to note how intently the boat was watched 
by the lone fishermen, as they were numerous. They were at- 
tracted by the sound of the guns and, if ^ any of them were 
soldiers, must have reminded them of skirmish days. 
The weather was against the shooters, a strong, changable 
wind blowing all day directly in the face of the stand, and tower- 
ing targets were the rule. The wind and residue straw and 
such from the unpacking of the targets was very disastrous to 
the eyes. Some good scores were made, as Riehl and Cadwallader 
ran above 90 per cent., as . did Bert Lewis, Omer Pearu, A. D. 
Sperry and H. D. Drawbe; 189, 185, 183, 181, are fine scores for 
When the first squad, composed of such good men at the traps 
as Frank Riehl, of Alton; Ed. Scott and J. A. Groves, of Jack- 
sonville; J. C. Ramsey, Manito, and A. D. Sperry, of Rock 
Island, toed the mark on top of that barge and started the game 
going, it was soon found that, if the flight of targets kept ' going 
at that rate for the whole day, 80 per cent, would possibly be 
high. There was trouble with the trap. It was breaking targets 
and not throwing steady and getting out of order, causing delays. 
It was pointed out that targets were being_ thrown too hard 
and too high, and the trap was let down. This, with proper ad- 
justment of the carrier, made matters go smooth for the balance 
of the day. 
Note the first event. Thirteen was high, with the exception 
of Cadwallader, who got 14. Some of the best ones missed five 
in the first event, and then came on strong and proved among 
the leaders at the close of the 220 shots. 
Event No. 9 was 10 pairs, and this was not counted in the 
average. This was an interesting race, and more doubles should 
enter into all tournaments. Mr. Pearu proved the good shot 
and scored 18, taking fir.st money, while Lewis was the only 17. 
There were two sixteens, and so on down to 6. In justice to 
the shooters it should be stated that the trap should always be 
elevated for doubles, which gives time to cover the second target 
before it gets too low. 
Some queer things happened during the day, for instance, when 
the first twenty men shot in the eighth event, every man shoot- 
ing for the money, made 14 or 13, with the exception of two, who 
tied on 6, and had it not been for one man in the last squad 
getting 12 and another II, the six men would have won third 
money. _ , . , „ . , 
The second day was almost a repetition of the first, the wind 
changed and for a part of the day faced shooters, and there was 
some rain in the afternoon. Some of the shooters improved, 
while others, esiiecially the high man for the first day, fell off 
badly. Riehl, with 183, won high professional for this day and 
for the touroament. The best shot by far was Bert Lewis, the 
[SepT. 23 , igtt5. 
man from Aubufn, 111., who has trie “aubufri” baih He came : 
fast and steady, and made 190, a 95 per cent, gait, something ; 
wonderful under the conditions. He was high man for the . 
two days over all — same thing happened at the last year’s floating^ 
shoot. 'When the boat was about to land all present expressed -^ 
themselves well pleased with the two days spent on the broad 3 
waters of the Illinois River, and promised to come again. '

Bert Lewis won high average over all last year, and duplicated 
same this year. He has not shot much during this year, and when 
a man can make 190 out of 200 on a moving boat, he is a wonder.

The Many-Use Oil at Sea Girt. 
Among the throng visiting the National Rifle Tournament af 
Sea Girt, N. J., we noticed Mr. G. W. Cole, President of The 
Many-Use Oil Co., of New York, who was superintending the- 
distribution of large bottles of The Many-Use Oil among the; 
riflemen. Mr. Cole said that nearly all of the six hundred anc 
seventy-eight members of the teams were using this oil fo-. 
cleaning and lubricating and rust preventing purposes. It woulei 
seem that the practical test of the oil at this time should demon, 
strate its value to sportsmen, as a great deal of rain had fallen; 
and the sea shore air would test its rust preventing qualities. Mr, 
Cole said that many captains of the teams had given him recom, 
mendations of the oil and that they would continue to use )! 
after they returned to their own shooting grounds. •
