New Columbus Gun Club. 
The Twentieth Century Limited Tournament, held 
Aug. 20 and 21, at Columbus, Ohio, was a decided suc¬ 
cess, and the attendance held throughout the shoot with 
150 shooters. The system, which is a new one, was 
originated by Mr. W. R. Chamberlain, of Columbus, O., 
and owing to the unusualness of the program, wherein 
the club guaranteed to pay the contestants' railroad fare 
for the round trip and supply them the shells for the 
program without charge, also add $500 in cash and a 
number of special prizes, there was some conjecture as 
to how the shoot would come out. 
Six sets of traps were used in this tournament, which 
were in charge of Mr. Charles A. North, of Cleveland, 
and their performance throughout the shoot was simply 
another testimonial to his ability to keep things running. 
The office was in charge of Mr. Luther Squier, of 
money-back fame, Mr. L. W. Cumberland, and Mr. W. 
R. Chamberlain and everything was handled in a prompt 
and satisfactory manner. Mr. Harry E. Smith had charge 
of the help and the trapping and pulling at the different 
stations was nicely handled. 
On Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 the preliminary prac¬ 
tice event of 100 targets was shot, and there was quite 
a stiff breeze from the northwest which raised the pigeons 
somewhat. The attendance at the preliminary was fifty 
shooters, and some remarkably good scores were made. 
On the first day, Wednesday, Aug. 20, the weather 
conditions were ideal for the start, and 150 shooters took 
part, among them many prominent amateur and pro¬ 
fessional shooters. Two large rest tents with a liberal 
seating capacity were placed for the convenience of 
participants, and a large ter.t was arranged for the ladies 
of the Arlington Congregational Church, who had charge 
of the luncheon for the shoot, and quite an extensive 
bill of fare was provided to which the marksmen did 
ample justice. Mrs. Ross Marshall, under whose man¬ 
agement the luncheon was served, is deserving of much 
credit for the manner of serving, as well as the ladies 
who so ably assisted 
Dr. E. M. Edwards, of Columbus, O., headed the list 
for the first day with the splendid score of 146, being 
high amateur for the day. Fred Harlow, of Newark, and 
Bart Lewis, of Illinois, came up second high with a 
score of 143, tying for second high amateur. W. I. 
Spangler, Circleville; F. J. Coburn, Mechanicsburg, O., 
and F. C. Kock tied for third high average. The weather 
conditions were ideal. 
The second day, Aug. 21, found the entries just about 
the same a9 Tuesday, and at the finish Bart Lewis was 
high amateur for the day with the good score of 146;. R. 
D. Morgan, second, with 145; .1. A. Smith and Fred 
Harlow tied for third high with 144; H. E. Smith, 
Columbus, fourth high with 143. 
The high averages for the tournament were as fol¬ 
lows: Bart Lewis, first high amateur with the score of 
289 out of the 300 targets; Dr. F. M. Edwards, of Colum¬ 
bus, and Fred Harlow, Buckeye Lake, second high 
amateur; F. J. Coburn, Mechanicsburg, O., third high 
with 285. 
A novelty miss-and-out trap was installed at the edge 
of a cornfield, No. 6. Three tickets were sold for one 
dollar which entitled participant to three trials for a 
straight run, the pot to be divided at the close of the 
day between all who broke ten straight. This trap 
proved a great attraction, as the targets were thrown 
22yds. rise, ar.d the young man in charge as trapper 
evidently had graduated in the angle school, as during 
the entire two days no two were alike—there were ups 
and down daisy cutters, high fliers and dippers. After 
the close of the first day there was no ten straight, so 
the high man, A. B. Sbobe, pulled down just a little 
pin money amounting to $119. Next day, Thursday, it 
started off again at about 10 A. M. John R. Taylor 
broke 10 straight, which paid him about $18. Then the 
miss-and-out was changed to a 60 and 40 division. Bart 
Lewis kept banging away and got a straight about 2 P. 
M. and another at 4:30 and cleaned up both moneys. A 
number became seasick and dizzy watching the cracked 
targets on trap No. 6. 
PRELIMINARY PRACTICE DAY SCORES. 
Tuesday afternoon the start of the Twentieth Cen¬ 
tury Limited tournament was marked by a very auspi¬ 
cious opening, with fifty shooters entered. The after 
noon was a tine one, with the exception of a pretty stiff 
breeze from northwest, which carried the targets well up. 
C. D. Colburn, of Mechanicsburg, O., led the amateurs 
with the fine score of 98 for the hundred. Coburn was 
tied only by J. S. Day, professional, with a score of 98. 
John R. Taylor, Columbus, and C. A. Young, Spring- 
field, finished with 97. R O. Heikes, of Dayton, and 
C. F. Moore finished with 95 each. Scores:
