Second Day. 
Wednesday was another pretty day, both overhead 
and underfoot, but the wind was stiff enough to keep 
the boys guessing until about noon, when it died down, 
and then they went to smashing them in earnest. 
It was seen early that there would be a battle royal 
for the high professional honors. Freeman having' missed 
a few in the forenoon, while Johnnie Taylor and Pop 
Heikes were grinding them out with wonderful pre¬ 
cision, and it actually was not decided until the last 
target was shot at, Freeman winning by one bird from 
Taylor, who was in turn just one bird ahead of Heikes, 
who finished third. 
None of the amateurs could overcome the lead Alex¬ 
ander had taken on the first day, but there was a fight 
on for place in the first five high guns, and that was 
fought out to the last target in the last event, with the 
result as noted elsewhere. 
In the handicap events. Gentry Flillman justified the 
faith put in him by the local contingent by duplicating 
his performance of the previous day by breaking 47 
again, and finishing winner of the handicap with the 
good score of 94, Hunt betting 46 on this day, finish¬ 
ing second with 93, while a number of others who were 
down several from the first day, showed up strong. 
President Jas. Hillman, of the local club, broke 48 out 
of his 50 this day, he being the only one to go straight 
in one event, and which paid him $25.50, Hunt getting 
the only 24 in the same event, paying him the same 
amount. 
After the last event was finished the prizes were 
awarded by one of the members of the club, and happy 
responses were made by several of the winners, and 
within thirty minutes the last man had been paid off 
and left the grounds—surely some record-breaking work 
on the part of the cashier, Al. Gohegan, who was 
assisted by Geo. Hillman and Wm. Fex. Scores:

Hercules Gun 
Club. 
Temple, Pa., April 5.—The special shoots held by the 
Flercules Gun Club, at this place, had an attendance of 
twenty-two amateurs and one professional. The weather 
was ideal. The trap caused trouble all afternoon. Three 
rubbers were worn out at 4 P. M. While squad No. 4 
was firing at their ninth target the trap completely 
broke down. At this point the shooters were disap¬ 
pointed, three men having broken 54 out of their first 
60 for the Cypher’s cup; so Secretary Ludwig settled 
the question of future troubles by smashing the whole 
trap with a heavy sledge-hammer into scrap-iron in 
front of the shooters, and the shooting event was post¬ 
poned. 
A requisition has been sent to Elmer E. Shaner, sec¬ 
retary-treasurer, to change our date of registered shoot 
from May 4, to Aug. 10. We have to get a lot of con¬ 
crete work done at our trap house, and find it im¬ 
possible to be ready by May 4 through this mishap. 
We shall spare no pains to make this an ideal shooting 
grounds. 
This was Mr. Joslyn’s first appearance on our grounds, 
and was tickled to his heart. Boys, we welcome you to 
our next tournament, when we have our grounds in 
proper shape, and we will show you something doing. 
Josh says, “going some, by gosh.”
