’Professional. 
C. A. JOHNSON, Secretary. 
Cincinnati Gun Club. 
There was a very good attendance at the weekly 
shoot August 9, eleven members availing themselves of 
■the opportunity for extra practice before taking part 
in the registered tournament to be. held later in the 
week. The conditions were fairly good, the wind af¬ 
fecting the flight of the targets just enough to make 
the contests interesting, without cutting the scores 
badly. Hammerschmidt was high man with 91 out of 
100. L. Gambell, shooting at 50 targets, went a 94 
per cent. clip, breaking straight in the last 20-tar- 
get event. The team races proved a tie, Schreck’s 
team winning the first match by 7 targets, and losing 
the second by four targets. In the last match I. 
Gambell and Butz took the places of Randall and 
Davies on Schreck’s team, the former making high 
score of the two races, 47 out of 50. Randall, of Mason, 
tied with Hammerschmidt for second high on 26 The 
events in the tournament to be held on Thursday and 
Friday will be started at 9:30 each dav, the program 
consisting of six 15 and three 20-target events each 
day. The contest for the Kentucky State Challenge 
Cup, won by W. H. Hall, of Maysville, Ky., at the 
recent state tournament, will be held during the 
tournament, the holder having been challenged by 
Luhega, a prominent amateur of Covington. The 
race is open to other Kentucky amateurs, and an in¬ 
teresting contest is assured. The three trophies do¬ 
nated to this tournament by the Interstate Association 
will be shot for on Friday, August 14, and will be dis¬ 
tributed Lewis Class System, three classes, one trophy 
in each class. Shooters will be classified by their 
scores in the first 100 targets of the regular program', 
and the winner in each class decided by the score 
made in the last 50 targets.

Another Attraction for Dayton and the Grand American 
Handicap. Contest for Historic Hazard Double 
Target Trophy Arranged. 
The general expression heard on all sides is that the 
Fifteenth Grand American Handicap to be held at Day- 
ton, Ohio, September 8th to nth, inclusive, will be the 
largest, best and in every way the most remarkable 
trapshooting tournament ever staged. The programs are 
now in the hands of the shooters throughout the coun¬ 
try, and it is generally conceded that Manager Shaner, 
and the Tournament Committee of the association have 
surpassed themselves. 
As a preliminary event for the shooters who journey 
to Dayton to spend the Sunday prior to the opening 
of the big event, a contest has been arranged for the 
Historic Hazard Live Bird Trophy, which is now known 
as the Double Target Challenge Trophy. This hand¬ 
some trophy, which is probably the most valuable trap¬ 
shooting trophy in the world, is now in the hands of 
F'red Gilbert, the Wizard of Spirit Lake, Iowa. It will 
be called in by the Dupont Powder Company and placed 
in open competition at Dayton, Ohio on Saturday 
September 5th, 1914. The match will be at too pairs, 
or 200 targets (doubles) and under the rules governing 
contests for the trophy, as appended. 
In 1901 The Hazard Live Bird Trophy was placed in 
open competition at live birds. Several competitions 
were arranged for it, and in 1911 as little interest had 
been shown in live bird matches for several years, the 
trophy was redeemed from W. R. Crosby, the then 
holder, and became a trapshooting trophy. The first 
contest was between Fred Gilbert and Lester German 
and took place at Wilmington, Delaware on July 10th, 
just prior to the Eastern Handicap. Gilbert was the 
winner breaking 183 x 200, to German’s 178 x 200. The 
next match was between Fred Gilbert and Fred G. 
Bills and was staged at Bradford, Pa., at the Seventh 
Eastern Handicap. Here again Gilbert demonstrated 
his superiority as a double target shot, and scored 180 
x 200, while Fred Bills, who was in anything but good 
shape, scored 152 x 200. 
The match at Dayton should be a good one, and no 
doubt will be largely attended. The conditions under 
which the match will be shot are those which govern 
all contests for the trophy, and are as follows: 
Conditions Governing Contests for the Hazard “Double- 
Target” Challenge Trophy. 
(1) All challenge contests to be at 100 pairs (200 
targets) per man, 16 yards rise, the targets to be 
thrown from either three expert traps or from a maga¬ 
zine trap. In either case the targets shall be thrown 
in manner prescribed by the Interstate Association’s 
Trapshooting Rules. (Revision 1904.) 
(2) The challenger shall post a forfeit of Twenty- 
five Dollars ($25.00) and mail same, together with no¬ 
tice of challenge, to T. E. Doremus, Manager Sporting 
Powder Division, E. I. duPont deNemours Powder 
Company, Wilmington, Del., who shall in turn notify 
holder of the trophy and the Sporting Press of receipt 
of such challenge and forfeit. 
(3) The holder shall name date, hour and place for 
the contest within two weeks from the date of the 
letter mailed him notifying him of the receipt of the 
challenge and posting of the forfeit; but the 
date for the contest must be such as will allow the 
challenger at least ten full days notice of the accept¬ 
ance of his challenge and the naming of the date, etc. 
(4) The contestants shall mutually agree as to the 
referee, scorer, puller and trapper (or trappers), but 
if unable to do so, such officials shall be appointed by 
the Du Pont Company, or by such representatives of 
that company as may be present at the contest. 
(5) Open Competitions: Open competitions for the 
trophy may be held with the consent of the Du Pont 
Company by any regularly organized gun club, such 
club sending to the Du Pont Company Twenty-five 
Dollars ($25.00) to be handed to the holder of the 
trophy for the purpose of calling it in. All such open 
competitions shall be at 100 pairs (200 targets) per man, 
and the targets shall be thrown, and the officials for 
such competition shall be appointed, in the manner 
prescribed for challenge contests. 
(6) Any holder of the trophy desiring to have same 
in his possession shall be permitted to do so, provid¬ 
ing he deposit with the Du Pont Company a bond 
in the sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($750.- 
00), the actual value of the trophy. 
(7) The above conditions can be changed at any time 
the Du Pont Company may see fit to do so, upon said 
company paying to the then holder of the trophy the 
sum of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) for the redemption 
of said trophy. 
THE TROPHY. 
The trophy is a beautiful work of art, and one to de¬ 
light the hearts of all true art lovers. It is a massive 
silver pitcher, and is a typical example of the Martele 
or hand wrought silver which is recognized as a dis¬ 
tinct artistic achievment, and for which the manu¬ 
facturers received highest awards at the. Exposition 
Universaill, Paris, 1900, and the Pan-American Exposi¬ 
tion in 1901. 
The piece is 18 inches high, and of massive weight. 
It is entitled “The Wave” the motive and feeling of 
which are most successfully expressed in outline and 
decoration. Four heads of Tritons and Mermaids 
emerging from waves form the base of the Pitcher. The 
body is decorated with Water Sprites at play amidst 
waves from which emerge sea weed, and shell forms ex¬ 
press the neck and lips. A Mermaid gracefully posed 
forms the handle, and is continued into a decorative 
fish form where it merges into the wave forming the 
body of the piece. The artistic design, subtle feeling, 
and vivid expression so well depicted make this trophy 
the most beautiful and valuable of all trapshooting 
prizes of this or any other day. 
THE SHOOTERS. 
The trophy goes into open competition on September 
5th at Dayton. Looking over the official records of the 
Interstate Association for 1913 one gets the idea that 
a contest between some of the shooters who competed 
in double target events in Interstate Association 
Tournaments last year would be a “Battle of Giants.” 
Here are a few of the good ones in both the amateur 
and professional ranks, who can snuff the doubles just 
about as quick as the ordinary man would break a 
single target. It is to be hoped they will all be on 
hand at Dayton for this shoot: 
George L. Lyon, Mark Arie, Roy FI. Bruns, R. D. 
Morgan, George Grubb, H. D. Gibbs, Charlie Spencer, 
John R. Taylor, W. R. Crosby, R. W. Clancy, Mrs. 
Topperwein, A. H. Durston, Allan Heil, Jesse S. 
Young, C. A. Galbraith, Ben Donnelly Isaac Andrews, 
L. S. German, Fred G. Bills, Jimmie Day, Woolfolk 
Henderson, D. D. Gross, Wm. Wettleaf, H. E. Snyder, 
Barton Lewis, F. W. McNeir, J. R. Graham, Fred 
Gilbert, Dan Barstow, II. D. Freeman, Ed. O’Brien, 
Tom Marshall, R. O. Heikes, Ed. Daniel, D. H. Jones, 
Nick Arie, George Tucker, B. B. Ward, W. H. Heer, 
Walter Huff, Art Killam, Geo. Maxwell, Homer Clark, 
O. R. Dickey, J. M. Hawkins. 
The entrance fee will be $4.00, or 2c. per target. Op¬ 
tional sweeps can be arranged for if the contestants so 
desire. 
The match is open to all and everybody is welcome.
