Rifles, Telescopes and Cartridges 
Preliminary advices from the field of contest of the 
New England Military Rifle Association’s Eighth 
Annual Meeting indicate that George W. Chesley, 
Conn., has again distinguished himself by hanging 
up a New World’s Record, as shown by the following: 
WINCHESTER MATCH: Individual. Open to all. 15 shots 
at 1,000 yards. Winner Geo. W. Chesley, making a possible 
score of 75 plus 8 bull’s eyes, a total of 23 consecutive bulls, 
which constitute a New World’s Record for such a match. 
The merit of Mr. Chesley’s performance and the excellent 
shooting qualities of Winchester goods, become all the more 
apparent when it is stated that there were 190 entrants in this 
match. 
INDIVIDUAL SMALL BORE RIFLE 
by Mr. Chesley. 20 shots at 25 yards.

A NEW

RECORD 
Graham Graces Pro. Rank. 
The following item will be read with interest: J. R. 
Graham, the well-known amateur from Long Lake, Ill., 
who is perhaps better known to the trapshooting fra¬ 
ternity as “Jay” Graham, has retired from the amateur 
ranks and become a full-fledged professional, as a repre¬ 
sentative of the Du Pont Company. “Jay” has made 
many wonderful records during the past few years, but 
none has redounded to his credit more than his recent 
win of the Olympic individual world’s championship at 
Stockholm, Sweden, which was competed for under a 
style of shooting entirely different to anything we have 
in this country, and with which Mr. Graham was barely 
acquainted when the time came for the contest to start. 
It was at Chicago, in 1810, on Aug. 30-Sept. 1, inclusive, 
that Mr. Graham made his wonderful record of 432 
straight (417 in “registered” events and 15 straight in 
practice). The same year at the Westy Hogan tourna¬ 
ment at Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. S-12. he won high 
average for the entire tournament, breaking 489 out of 
500 targets, 97.8, also winning the Shaner trophy with 100 
straight, and the Westy Hogan event with 96 out of 100. 
and 58 out of 60 in the ties. His records in 1910 and 
1911 were uniformly remarkable for an amateur, but it is 
worth noting that in 1910 he made ten runs of 100, or 
better, and five such runs in the year of 1911. “Jay” is 
the second of the Graham family to join the profes¬ 
sional ranks, his brother Ed., having for some years 
represented the interests of an ammunition company in 
Chicago and vicinity.

The attendance at the monthly money-back shoot 
on Aug. 25, was not up to expectations, the local shoot¬ 
ers have had their fill of the sport lately, and several 
of them started to-day for the Indian tournament at 
Cedar Point. Among'the out-of-town shooters present 
were: B. F. Bunn, of Boston, Mass.; J. A. Penn, I. 
Brandenberg and II. L. Monbeck, of Dayton, O. 
The weather conditions were fairly good, a rather 
brisk wind at times affecting the flight of the targets 
and causing some of the misses. Capt. George Dameron 
was High amateur, and tied with T. S. Day, professional, 
on 143. Day shot in good form, breaking straight in the 
first four events. II. L. Monbeck put up a good race 
after a rather poor start in the first event, breaking 87 
out of the last 90 targets, and going out in second 
place with 142. Ertel did better work in an event at 12 
pairs of doubles than he did at his singles, breaking 22, 
Lord orot 15, and Sears 
13 out of 12 pairs. 
The next money-back 
tournament will be held
