Last Day, Sept. 13. 
First came the 100 targets—five events of 20 targets 
each, at 16yds. for all. The scores will show that the 
“pick-ups” on this day were not much, and would not 
enrich the club. Why? John W. Garrett, Heil and 
Rebhauser made 100 even, while Hoon, Sharp, Bruns, 
Spencer and Grubbs lost but one each. Besides this, see 
how the 98s and 97s loom up. 
When this part of the program was completed, then 
came the summary of the four days for the 500 targets. 
When the cashier and compiler had done some heap 
“quick figure,” it was found that the money-back sur¬ 
plus amounted to $377.75, which was proportioned among 
the high guns as follows: Bruns, $49 for high gun 
with 494; Varner, $45.25 with 491; Easton, $37.70 with 
490; Huntley, $33.95 with 4S9; Sharp. $30.15 with 488; 
Heil, $26.40, with 487; H. Dixon, $20.70 with $4.86; King, 
$20.70, with 486; Yowell, $14.95 with 485; Campbell. $14.95 
with 485; Keen, $11.30, with 484; Waddington, $11.30 with 
484; Norris, $5.6a with 483; J. Rohrer. $5.65 with 483; 
Hoon, $4.30 with 482; Plank, $4.30 with 482. 
And such is the shooting game of to-day in the Far 
West. Not enough lost targets to put any “spice” into 
the game—too monotonous. 
We have here Spencer 492, Crosby 491, Kirkwood 488, 
O’Brien 488, John Garrett 487, Geo. Maxwell 487. 
Now, we come to the closing event, the Denver Han¬ 
dicap, with a goodly sum of money for the winner and 
twelve moneys, class shooting, for the others; per cent, 
system, not high guns, thus, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 
6, 5. 3, 2. 
The handicap committee made some changes in their 
first attempt and set back the winners of Thursday so 
they did not show so well. For some reason, they all 
steadied down, and such scores were never made before 
upon any occasion. The scores were all so good that a 
perusal of them, with the money slips they passed in to 
the cashier, will interest the reader. It will be of con¬ 
cern to mention that Riley Thompson lost his last target 
and got in the tie with six others. This one particular 
target would have brought him the neat little sum of 
$466—quite an addition to the bank roll. Be it re¬ 
membered that this is the second time that Riley has 
tied on 97 in this golden city, and lost out on both oc¬ 
casions. Here is the story of the finish. 
Pot, $2,078.80, divided as follows: Each of the follow¬ 
ing good ones got $77.70 for their score of 97: C. B. 
Eaton, A. Martin. V. Cate, R. Thompson, J. Vincent, 
R. R. Skinner and R. E. Brown. 
There were not so many 96s, and H. S. Mills, Dan 
Bray, T. C. Ford and W. IT. Shelton got $58.30. 
Five divided $30.70—F. McNair, France, J. H. Warren, 
F. Slocum and T. Ehler—for their 95. 
Those with 94 were in excess of the others, and they 
were awarded each $21.90; they were R. A. King, F. 
Campbell, E. W. Arnold, J. McClain, Rebhauser, H. 
Anderson, W. Coche, L. Schofield and E. W. Boering 
As for the others, 93 paid $10.50; 92, $8.00; 91, $9.55; 
90, $10.45; 89, $11.95; 88, $6.90; 87, $6.70; 86, $5.30. 
Did you ever read of seven men tying in a handicap 
target race? Well, here they are: At 20 targets. Being 
called to the score with sky overcast, which brought 
quite a sprinkle of rain ere the finish, resulted: Eaton 
20, Thompson 18, Cate 18, Skinner 20, Vincent 18, Martin 
19, Brown 18. 
On the second tie Eaton won with 19 to Skinner’s 18. 
And yet, to the minds of many or most all who saw 
the shoot, there is a question as to the winner. Mr. 
Eaton lost a target in the first round, and if he was not 
balked then according to equity in the matter, Skinner 
with his 20 is the winner, regardless of the last 20. 
The trouble arose like this: Brown, shooting ahead of 
Eaton, shot, broke, and was scored dead; then Eaton 
in his turn, and with nothing said or done to balk him, 
took deliberate aim, called “pull,” shot and missed. The 
referee was Mr. Nelson Franklin, a sporting goods 
dealer, and it is understood had asked Mr. McKenzie 
to assist him. Soon after Mr. Eaton shot, Mr. McKenzie 
called out that the target Brown had shot just previous 
to Eaton, was a broken and thus “no target,” and he 
should shoot at another. Brown shot another, and as 
was claimed, that Eaton had shot out of turn, he was 
asked to shoot another target, which he did and broke, 
and was scored dead in place of one previously missed. 
Mr. Skinner will ask the Interstate Association to give a 
ruling on this. Meantime, what do you say? The facts 
above are as stated to me by eye witnesses, as I did not 
see the shoot-off. 
A pleasant feature not on the program was that of a 
surprise sprung by one Tom Marshall, who came on to 
the grounds sporting' a new suit of light-colored “home- 
spun.” Looked kind of foxy. He passed among the 
shooters and asked them to meander out in front of the 
grand stand, as something was on tap. Presently Tom 
came upon the platform with something under his arm 
that looked like a flour barrel. Meantime, some one 
had suggested to McKenzie that he had better get the 
boys to shooting, as they were losing time. So he was 
caught unaware, while Tom made one of his best 
speeches, and wound up by presenting the manager with 
a silver cup as a token from all the contestants present, 
as they were from every State in the Union. What was 
needed then was a stenographer to take McKenzie’s
