Third Day. 
Friday, get-away day, dawned cool and cloudy, and 
the prospects for a nice comfortable day to finish on 
were fulfilled. The sky cleared by noon, a few fleecy 
clouds being all that were left. A light north-east 
wind failed to affect the flight of the targets, but added 
materially to the comfort of the contestants. The at¬ 
tendance was a trifle in excess of the first day, 89 enter¬ 
ing and 85 shooting through. Many of those present 
on former days were obliged to leave Thursday night, 
their places being filled by new comers; among the 
latter were: J. H. Pumphrey, Clayton; C. Reasoner 
and C. L. Culbertson, Zanesville; M. O. McCammon 
and F. Roberts, Fultonham; F. A. Schaeffer, Lan¬ 
caster; H. C. Downey, C. E. Winkler, A. B. Shobe and 
F. E. Dagenhart, Springfield. The boys were a little 
more prompt in arriving at the grounds, so that the 
events were started promptly at 9, the regular pro¬ 
gram being finished soon after 3. The day’s program 
was the same as before, 150 targets, but was shot today 
in six 15 and three 20-target events. The special 25- 
target event followed the program, instead of starting 
it, and the two-men team was shot last. The last too 
targets of the regular program counted for the Inter-

State Association’s Amateur Championship event, the 
winner or runner-up to receive $50, provided that the 
said winner or runner-up enters and competes in the 
National Amateur Championship at the G. A. H. Tourna¬ 
ment. The Association also gave seven trophies to be 
awarded to the first seven high men in the event. 
The day was the best one of the week for shooting, 
the conditions being favorable for high scores, a num¬ 
ber of which were made. The regular events ran off 
smoothly, but there was some delay in getting in the 
entries for the special events, so that the last squad 
did not finish until past five o’clock. The usual ques¬ 
tion was raised in regard to the conditions governing 
the team race. The original rules have apparently 
been forgotten, and each year the matter of eligibility 
conies up, to be settled, 1 for the time being, only after 
much discussion. The trophy is emblematic of the two- 
men team championship of Ohio, and has, on several 
occasions, been competed for and won by Ohio pro¬ 
fessionals. Of late years the league has declared that 
only teams of amateurs should be eligible to win, and 
one _ point of controversy has been definitely settled. 
As it is a state trophy it would seem to be perfectly 
right to allow any team of Ohio amateurs to compete 
for it, but if it is thought best to draw the lines a 
little more ciosely, it might be well to require the 
members of a team to be members, also, of the same 
gun club, and to live in the same or adjoining coun¬ 
ties. One thing should be done before the next an¬ 
nual tournament; rules should be drawn up governing 
this (and other trophy events) and these should be 
printed in the program. A time for closing of en¬ 
tries should be stated; all teams should be announced 
before noon of the day of the contest, or of the day 
previous, so that, in case of protest, the tournament com¬ 
mittee might have a chance to decide the question in¬ 
telligently, and strictly in accordance with the rules. 
For teams desiring to compete, when one or both 
members do not belong to any club, it might be well 
to require that they should live in the same city, or, 
at any rate, in the same county. Almost any way would 
be an improvement on the haphazard style which has 
been in vogue. Scores were generally better than on 
the previous days, owing to the better weather condi¬ 
tions. The amateurs were the leaders, J. N. Knox be¬ 
ing high man with 148; Fred Harlow was second, tying 
with Crosby and G. W. Maxwell on 145. Then came 
the professionals, J. R. Taylor and C. A. Young with 
144 each, followed by two amateurs, C. T. Stevens and 
J. H. Pumphrey. and the pro, W. R. Chamberlain 
with 143 each. Horace W. Heikes was next with 142. 
In the Interstate Amateur State Championship event, 
the last 100 targets of the program, it took pretty near 
a perfect score to win. J. N. Knox and Fred Harlow 
had a close race, the former winning by one target 
with 99 to 98; J. H. Pumphrey was third with 96; 
C. T. Stevens won fourth trophy with 95, and H. E. 
Smith got fifth with 94. There were six ties on 93; W. 
Webster, S. L. McAfee, F. J. Coburn, W. F. Bippus, 
Lon Fisher and H. W. Heikes, and these shot off for 
sixth and seventh trophies. As there were two other 
events to be shot that afternoon, it was decided that 
the shoot-off should be miss and out, and a most in¬ 
teresting contest resulted. McAfee and Fisher dropped 
out on their fifth targets; Wiebster kept in the race 
until the eleventh round when he failed to connect; 
Heikes found his Waterloo on the unlucky 13th; this 
left Bippus and Coburn still in the race, the latter 
shooting ahead of Bippus, it was nip and tuck up to the 
21 st target, and here Coburn fell down, but Bippus 
stepped to the score and smashed the clay to dust, 
winning sixth trophy; Coburn taking seventh. It was 
a fine display of skill on the part of both contestants, 
and they had a big gallery watching the fight. The 
professionals finished with high scores in this race, G. 
W. Maxwell getting 97; W. R. Chamberlain and W. R. 
Crosby, 96 each; J. R. Taylor and T. A. Marshall, 95 
each; R. O. Heikes and C. A. Young 94 each. J. N. 
Knox, the winner of title, shot for the first time in a 
big tournament at Dayton, last year, when he was en¬ 
tered in the Grand American, finishing second in the 
preliminary with 95, and third in the Grand American 
Handicap event, with 93. He also took part in the 
Indians tournament at Cedar Point last July, and was 
fifth high amateur in that aggregation of cracker jacks. 
Since then all of his shooting has been at small club 
events. Long runs were more numerous than on 
previous days; C. D. Coburn increased his unfinished 
run of Thursday to 105, before he slipped up; J. N. 
Knox added enough -targets to his run of the previous 
day to total 142; and then later in the program made a 
run of 112; C. A. Young ended his unfinished run 
with 84. J. R. Taylor, 60; C. E. Winkler, 51; W. R. 
Crosby. 89; C. T. Stevens, 72; J. M. Mcvicker, 57; 
Lon Fisher, 56. The two-men team race had twenty- 
two teams entered. The result was a tie on 48 between 
H. E. Furnas, 24; J. H. Pumphrey, 24, Salem; W.
