BAG HIGH HONORS AT COLUMBUS 
Red W Goods Win the National Amateur Championship, The Preliminary Handicap, High Ama¬ 
teur And High Professional Averages For 16 Yard Targets, and High Amateur Score In Double 
Target Championship. 
N O one maker of guns or shells scored a thirty-three degree triumph at the Grand American Handicap tournament 
as the winnings were pretty well divided up, but no gun or shells made a better showing than the time-tried Win¬ 
chester brand. Winchester shotguns and shotgun shells, as usual, won a goodly share of the big honors. The re¬ 
liability and the uniform shooting qualities of Red \/\/ goods were again conclusively proven by the wonderful score of 
Mr. Eaton of 1 19 x 120 from 1 8 yards in the Preliminary; Mr. Collins’ score of 196 x 200 in the Amateur Champion¬ 
ship; Messrs. Spencer’s and Crosby’s scores of 96 x 100 from 22 yards in the Grand American Handicap; Messrs. 
Gates’ and Heil’s scores of 88 x 100 in the Double Bird Championship, and Messrs. Livingston’s and Hawkins’ scores 
of 100 straight on the first day. The most important of the Winchester winnings follow in detail:
