The prevalence amongst shooters of these “old reliable” powders is due to 
their superior shooting qualities which instill confidence and aid shooters in 
achieving victories. 
FIRST DAY—SEPT. 14. 
Promptly at 9 o’clock Hvas Tyee Riehl, first man up 
in squad 1, fired the opening shot from what promised 
to be a most successful and smooth-running tournament. 
Everything went along swimmingly until 2 o’clock, when 
the first order to “cease firing” was received, followed 
an hour afterward by the unwelcome information to 
suspend for the afternoon—comment on this unwarranted 
interruption is given elsewhere. 
One hundred and forty shooters were entered for 
the day’s schedule of ten 15-target events—twenty-eight 
squads. This number is the largest up to date entered 
in a Pacific Coast Handicap, and is exceeded by only 
two prior Coast shoots—Stockton. 1897, Pacific Inani¬ 
mate Target Association, 177 entries, and Garden City 
Gun Club tourney, San Jose, a year or two afterward, 
over 160 entries. 
Seventeen States were represented in the first day 
entries. President James T. Skelly, of the Interstate 
Association; T. E. Doremus, a director of the Associa¬ 
tion, and Jay R. Graham, of Wilmington, Del., made the 
longest jumps to join the coast smokeless powder fest. 
E. J. Morgan, of Salt Lake City; C. A. Gunning, of 
Longmont; Colo., winner of the recent Western Handi¬ 
cap at Omaha, and B. E. Moritz, of Denver, Colo., were 
also long-distance trigger pullers. 
Oregon and Washington were represented by several 
squads of shooters good and true. The Los Angeles 
Gun Club and Pastime Gun Club, together with other 
shooters from south of Tehachipi, made up five squads. 
\V. B. Twitched, of Phoenix, was the only entry from the 
chile con came belt. San Francisco and San Jose had a 
strong aggregation of talent at the bulkheads. The 
Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley clubs sent their 
best men from different points. The Nevadas were on 
hand, and a strong shooting bunch of genial sportsmen 
they are. All in all. it was one of the best assemblages 
of coast shooting talent ever gotten together. 
The scrambling of the program from one day to the 
other interrupted the expected easy continuity of events. 
Notwithstanding many good scores resulted. The pro¬ 
gram was finished Monday forenoon with the fine show¬ 
ing of almost fifty shooters going a 90 per cent, or 
better gait. 
Bob Bungay, who tied on 97 for the initial Pacific 
Coast Handicap at Ingleside, San Francisco, 1905, shot 
high amateur, 143 out of 150, 16yds. rise, for the first 
day’s program. H. F. Wihlon put another trombone 
mark on the Preliminary trophy by cracking out 142 
targets. Fred C. Moullen, of Eugene, Ore., and J. F. 
Couts, Jr., looked over the pence from a 141 foundation. 
D. C. Davidson, of Modesto, runner-up in the minor 
feature event, came along with 140. Blair, who blazed 
the Monday afternoon palm tree, struck snags in events 
5 and 7. 
Hugh Poston’s 145 was high pro average; the Tacoma 
Si wash was next man up with 144. Ed. Mitchell 142, 
and Pete Holohan’s 141 followed. 
The double-target event 
carded for the first 
day was 
cancelled. The scores of th 
e first day follow;

SECOND DAY—SEPT. 14. 
The Preliminary Handicap was started at 2 o’clock 
with 108 entries. The late start and the breakdown at 
No. 5 trap, necessitated postponing the finish until 
Tuesday morning, eight squads behind—all traced to 
the faux pas Sunday afternoon, for which the State 
Fa ; r management came in for concrete post-graduate 
criticism. 
When squad No. 14 ended Monday evening in the 
fading light, Abe Blair, of Portland, with 97 from the 
18yd. peg was in the lead. He had passed Bruner’s 94, 
F. Leonard, of Reno, 18yds., 94; J. F. Couts, Jr., 19yds., 
94, and W. E. Staunton, of Winnemucca, Nev., 21yds., 
95, the latter finished Tuesday morning. 
The dark horses were Wihlon, who stopped with 
four straight 20s, and D. C. Davidson, 20yds., who stood 
at the danger line with 96 up, and the "final section to 
negotiate for a possible tie—barring the Washington 
shooter and his final tissue of 20 targets. The Modesto 
man dropped his eighth target and landed for second 
money. 
Wihlon’s “hip” signal to> the puller went on un¬ 
erringly until his ninth right-quartering target slipped 
through the pattern, and wound up a straight run of 
166, 88 from the 19yd. peg, continuing without a miss, 
he closed with 99. This score won the trophy, first 
money and missed by an eyelash tying the world’s 
record at 19yds. rise by Riley Thompson, Grand Ameri¬ 
can 1911, and C. A. Gunning’s Western Handicap win at 
Omaha recently. Wihlon’s 97 and Bungay’s 97 were 
next up. There were six 95 men—Harry Ogilvie, of 
Lindsay; H. Pfirrmann, Jr., of Los Angeles; S. A. 
Brunner, G. W. Miller, of Tonopah, and Clarence Sage, 
of Salt Lake. 
Wihlon is a protege of Pete Holohan, and has been 
shooting targets for about two seasons. Prior to his 
shotgun performances at the traps he was recognized as 
an unerring rifle shot. He had some practical experience 
in that line during the Boer war. He is a shooter of 
pleasing and unassuming personality, and at once be¬ 
came popular with trigger fraternity. His winning score 
was received with applause, and the congratulations of
