FOREST AND STREAM 
[Aug. s, 1911- 
WON THE 
1911 Grand American H^ndic^p 
Mr. Harvey Dixon, scoring 99 out of 100, was the victor in this greatest of all trapshooting events. 
He was handicapped at 20 yards, and many shooters under the same circumstances would have 
used 2% in. or 3 in. shells, but Mr. Dixon, being familiar with the quality of PETERS SHELLS, 
realized that no extra length or specially wadded shells were necessary. PETERS regular 2% in. 
loads will hold their pattern perfectly at 20 yards, as shown convincingly by Mr. Dixon’s score. 
This is the first time the Grand American Handicap has been won from 20 yards. See the 
connection ? 
Remember that when deciding to use PETERS shells you do not have to ask yourself “will they shoot 
in my gun?” They’ll shoot and get results with any good gun —no special combination necessary.

In the team race the win was for the League teams of 
six who belong to the League. The teams entered out¬ 
side of the League were Hartford. Mt. Kisco and Red 
Hook. The Red Hook boys won the race and were very 
much pleased, as they needed new hats, they said.

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
There has been nothing doing at the grounds for a 
couple of weeks, many of the members being out of 
town, or too much engaged with business to spare even 
a few hours for their favorite sport. Preparations are 
being made for the registered tournament on Sept. 14 and 
15, and every effort will be made to attract a crowd. At 
a meeting of the directors on July 28 Messrs. J. A. Payne, 
Dr. Bird and II. S. Connelly were appointed a tournament 
committee and will arrange the program, which will be 
mailed in a short time. In addition to the regular pro¬ 
gram there will be special events, probably at least one of 
them to be a handicap, with valuable prizes offered. The 
rumor that the club was to move its grounds to the 
Ohio side of the river is gaining strength, and steps 
in that direction will probably be taken before long. 
The talk of consolidation with the other clubs in this 
vicinity is still going on, and may amount to some¬ 
thing. It would surely do much to revive the interest 
in the sport if there was one strong club in the place 
of half a dozen weak ones, as is the case now.

Butler Rod and Gun Club. 
Butler, Pa., July 27.—The second annual tournament 
of the Butler Rod and Gun Club closed yesterday, and is 
on record as the biggest event of the season in the as¬ 
sociation of trapshooters. Nearly 100 men shot over the 
traps in the two days, which makes a new record, not 
only for the Butler Club, but for Western Pennsylvania. 
The attendance of spectators to-day was larger than 
the first, and the crowd was rewarded with some fine 
exhibitions of shooting. 
The principal event was the exhibition of fancy shoot¬ 
ing by Woody Kelley, the famous bear hunter of Hick’s 
Run. He broke targets standing on his head, lying on 
his back over a box and did many stunts of the pro¬ 
fessional fancy shots in the Wild West shows. 
The tournament was a success, not only financially, but 
from the point of attendance, and all of the shooters 
were delighted with the treatment they received. 
Ten events were shot yesterday of 15 targets each, mak¬ 
ing a total of 150 targets. H. H. Stevens, of New York, 
made high score with 145 to his credit. Woolfolk Hen¬ 
derson, of Lexington, Ky., was second with 144, and F. 
M. Edwards, of Portsmouth, O., third with 143. 
J. D. Elliott was high gun for the Butler Rod and 
Gun Club with 139. 
The revolver offered by the Butler Rod and Gun Club 
in the events for doubles was won by C. D. Coburn, of 
Mechaniscburg, O., with a score of 39 out of a pos¬ 
sible 50. 
In the single bird events to-day Woolfolk Henderson 
turned the tables on H. H. Stevens in the professional 
class. 
Nineteen squads of five men each were at the traps dur¬ 
ing the day, making a total of 95 in attendance. The 
seventeen high averages at 300 targets who won a share 
of the monev distributed were: F. M. Edwards, 283, 
837.70; Lon Fisher, 282, $26.15: N. Tohnston, 282, $26.15; 
P. E. Smith, 280, $20.90; Ad. Hickman. 275, $15.70; G. E. 
Painter, 275. $15.70; J. F. Calhoun, 274, $12.55; J. D. 
Elliott, 273, $9.75; T. T. Atkinson, 273, $9.75; J. K. Nolder, 
273, $9.75; F. Guinsberg, 271, $6.30; George Cochran. 271, 
$6.30; G. E. Burns. 271, ..6.30; E. J. Elliott, 269; $4.20; 
R. W. Ewalt, 267. 70 cents; C. D. Coburn, 267, 70 cents; 
S. W. Bilsing^ 267, 70 cents. 
Under the Squqiers money-back system the amount of 
the special fund to pay losses amounted to $59S.90. The 
losses paid amounted to $389.50, and the amount dis¬ 
tributed among the seventeen high average men was 
$209.40. 
In the team race between Butler and New Castle the 
latter won by a score of 1,175 to 1,137. 
In the five-man team race the Butler Club was third 
in the finish, the total number of targets shot being 
1,500 for each team. The following is the standing of the 
teams: Pittsburg 1,375, Bradford 1,300, Butler 1,282, 
Brownsville 1,273, New Castle 1,269, Youngstown 1,251, 
Tarentum, 1,190.
