At about ten o’clock the first squad was called to 
the score and the last squad sheet was turned in at 
3:15, the events being run off over two traps with¬ 
out a hitch. The balance of the afternoon was taken 
up with special events, including several at doubles. 
The program consisted of six events at 15 and three 
at 20 targets each, with an entrance of $3.00, entitling 
the shooter to contest for the high average money 
and the trophies. Optional sweeps were also provided 
for those who wished to do a little plunging, and 
they paid out well. The star of the day was R. O. 
Heikes, known from his long and varied experience 
in the sport, as the “Daddy of them all.” He dropped 
but three targets in the 150, going out in first place 
with 147, his score including a run of 98 straight. Next 
to him among the professionals came J. R. Taylor 
with 142, and W. R. Chamberlain with 140. The ama¬ 
teurs finished at the top of the list F. C. Koch, of 
Salem, being high with 143; J. H. Noel, William 
Shattuck and A. Winton, 144 each; C. D. Coburn and 
W. H. Hall, 143 each; W. Henderson and M. J. 
Welsh, 142 each. Long runs of 50 or better were made 
by: J. D. Platt, 53; M. J. Welsh, si; F. C. Koch, 55; 
J. H. Noel, 60.

SECOND DAY. 
The tournament was brought to a most successful 
close on the 15th, and was one of the best ever given 
by the club, not perhaps in point of numbers, but 
in class and the other things which go to make a 
successful shoot from the shooter’s point of view. The 
weather conditions were good, clear in the morning, 
partly cloudy in the afternoon, with a rather fresh 
cross wind, which did not affect the flight of the tar¬ 
gets to any extent, but added to the comfort of those 
on the firing line. The first squad was called to the 
score at about ten o’clock, and, barring a short delay 
caused by a minor trap trouble, the events were run 
off without a hitch, the last squad finishing at 3:40. 
The feature of the day was the work of Woolfolk Hen¬ 
derson. of Lexington. Starting in with an unfinished 
run of 26, he broke straight until his 105th target, 
which he missed, giving him a run of 130 straight, and 
going out with 149 out of 150 for the day. John Noel, 
of Nashville, Tenn. also shot a fine race, getting in 
second high place among the amateurs with 146, which

included a run of 96, counting his last 18 targets of 
the first day. In third place was R. H. Bruns, of Brook- 
ville, Ind., with 145. H. W. Heikes, Dayton, W. II. 
Hall, Maysville, Ky., Wm. Shattuck, Coal Grove, Ohio, 
and J. J. Hamm, Watertown, N. Y., were fourth with 
144 each. The professionals were out of the running, 
R. O. Heikes and J. R. Taylor being high with 143 
each; J. S. Day, 142; C. F. Moore, 139, and C. O. Le 
Compte, 135. Besides the runs of Henderson and Noel, 
H. W. Heikes broke 72 straight; W. H. Hall and Z. 
C. Offutt broke 55 each; J. E. Schreck 51, and J. R. 
Taylor, professional, 88. The race for the Kentucky 
State Challenge Cup had nine contestants in addition 
to the holder, W. H. Hall, of Maysville, and proved 
to be a hot fight. Hall finished first going out with 
95. Winton was four down at the end of the fifth 
round at 80 targets, and had a chance to win by going 
straight; this he failed to do, dropping one target and 
getting in the tie on 95. At the end of the fifth round 
J. E. Schreck was only three down, and had a good 
chance to win, but unfortunately lost two targets, which 
left him tied with Hall and Winton. J. N. Shropshire 
was five down out of 80 targets, and it was up to him 
to break them all in the last round in order to be in 
the tie, a stunt which he performed in good form. In 
the shoot-off at 25 targets, W. H. Hall won with 24, and 
took the cup home with him to Maysviile. He was 
chalenged by T. H. Clay, Jr., of Austerlitz, and the 
match will be pulled off in the near future. A five- 
men team match between Kentucky and Ohio, was shot 
in the 150 targets of the regular program, and was 
won by the Blue Grass boys, by a margin of 9 targets, 
700 to 691. W. H. Hall, for Kentucky, and H. W. 
Heikes, for Ohio, tied for high individual score on 
the teams with 144 each. 
High amateurs for the two days at 300 targets were: 
W. Henderson, 291; J. H. Noel 290; Wm. Shattuck, 
288; W. H. Hall and A. Winton 287 each; F. C. Koch, 
C. D. Coburn and J. J. Hamm 284 each; R. H. Bruns 
283; W. R. Randall 282; Z. C. Offutt and M. J. Welsh 
281 each. These shooters divided the average money 
purse amounting to $156.65; first money $31.30; sec¬ 
ond, $25.00; third, $20.35; fourth, $15.65; fifth, $12.50; 
sixth, $10.90; seventh, $9.35; eight and ninth, $7.75 
each; tenth, $6.20; eleventh and twelfth, $4.60 each. 
The shooters were divided into three classes accord¬ 
ing to the scores made in the first 100 targets of the 
program, and the high man in each class on the last 
50 targets won a trophy presented by the Interstate 
Association. There were twelve men in each class, 
score of 95 to 100 being in Class A; 89 to 94 in Class 
B, and 88 or less in Class C. In Class A, there were 
three tied on 49, Henderson, Noel and Bruns. The
