First Day, June 18. 
The tournament was formally opened on Tuesday, 
the National Amateur and Professional Championships 
being decided on that day, instead of on Friday, as has 
been done in previous years. The weather was un¬ 
favorable. In the morning considerable rain fell at 
intervals. The rain ceased falling before noon, but the 
sky was still covered by heavy clouds, making the light 
poor. There was very little wind during the day. Be¬ 
fore starting the shoot, Mr. Shaner made a short speech 
a practice which he said he introduced last year, and 
which he found helped materially in making a tourna¬ 
ment run smoothly. The championship events were each 
at 200 targets from the 18yds. mark. In the amateur 
race there were 137 entered, a slight increase over last 
year. The professional race was also better patronized 
this year, thirty-eight taking part. The squads were 
divided into sections, seven in a section. The contest 
for first honors in the amateur race was close and in¬ 
teresting, when it was found that W. S. Hoon, of 
Jewell, la., and E. W. I'arner, of Adams, Neb., were 
tied on 192. In the shoot-off, the former lost his 4th 
target and I’arner his 8th. Iloon dropped his 15th tar¬ 
get. I’arner won with 19 to 18, making a grand total 
of 211 out of 220 shot at in main event and tie. Varner 
did fine work, and certainly deserved his win. He ran 
the last four events straight. Hoon niade a nervy 
finish. Knowing that he must break the last 20 straight 
in order to get into the tie, he turned the trick, without 
a falter, breaking his targets clean. A. F. McLachlan 
was second high man with 191, and captured third 
money. 
The professional event was won by the veteran of 
many hard fought and won contests in this country 
and Europe, \V. R. Crosby, of O’Fahon, Ill. His score 
was 198, and ties the record made by Lester S. German 
in the same event last year. Fred Gilbert and R. O. 
Heikes tied for second place on 195.

Long runs were not numerous, nor of any great 
length. Fred Gilbert succeeded in breaking 103 before 
the referee called “lost.” C. O. Le Compte nearly 
reached the century mark, breaking 91, Ed, O’Brien 
ran 77. W. R. Crosby made a run of 74 in the first 100, 
and one of 70 in the last 100. The amateurs did nothing 
startling. No long run trophies were won. J. P. White 
scored 81. A. F. McLachlan was high amateur, making 
92 straight, the second high long run of the day. 
Second Day, June 19. 
\\ ednesday w^as cloudy and cool. There was a 
strong northwest wind. The Preliminary Handicap, 16 
to 23yds., at 100 targets. This is the day when the 
shooters try out the handicap they will use in the big 
event on Thursday. The Handicapping Committee 
handed out the stiffest handicaps which have ever been 
allotted. Only 39 men out of over 300 were given 16yds., 
and only 24 drew 17. Ten men. among them one ama¬ 
teur, were put at the limit of 23yds. The members of 
the committee seemed to be in sympathy with the senti¬ 
ment of the Chairman, J. W. Bell, of St. Louis, who be¬ 
lieves in “using the limit, or else lowering it.” That 
the extra yards are a handicap to most shooters may be 
confirmed by a glance at the scores. The committee 
apparently did their work well, and succeeded in equaliz¬ 
ing the shooters, for the battle between the 300 con¬ 
testants was a most interesting one. and ended finally in 
a tie for first place between W. S. Hoon, of Jewell, la.; 
L. R. Stockey, Chicago; James G. Gray, Bloomington, 
Ill., and C. E. Orr, of East Alton, Ill., each of whom 
broke 94. As soon as the last squad had finished, the 
tie was shot off. The men shot in the following order, 
each one standing at the same mark as in Mhe ma'n 
event; C. E. Orr, 20yds.; W. S. Hoon, 193/2.; L. R. 
Stockey, 19yds., and J. G. Gray, 18yds. It was generally 
expected that more than one shootoff would be needed, 
but this proved to be wrong, as Hoon won with 18, to 
17 for Stockey and Gray, and 16 for Orr. Hoon missed 
his 6th and 15th targets; Stockey his 3d, 12th and 14th; 
Gray his 1st, 4th and 5th, running the last fifteen straight, 
and Orr his 4th, 10th, 15th and 16th. Second place 
honors were divided by A. C. Connor, a local crack, C. 
H. Peck, A. Skinner, F. Campbell, R. H. Bruns and 
L. Halverson with 93 each. G. V. Dering, J. C. David¬ 
son, M. Arie, F. Stanton and J. D. Elliott, 92 each 
There were 301 entries in the Preliminary Handicap 
and 300 starters. Of that number 238 were amateurs, 
and only thirty-one of them finished with a score of 90 
or better. W. R. Crosby and W. E. Grubb tied for high 
professional honors on 95. H. G. Taylor and H. C. Kirk¬ 
wood were second with 93 each; R. O. Heikes and O. 
R. Dickey, 92 each; Homer Clark, C. E. Goodrich and 
C. O. Le Compte, 91 each. Of the sixty-two professionals 
who shot in this event, only twelve broke 90 or better. 
There were 29,780 targets trapped to-day in about 
seven hours, or about 4,254 per hour on five traps, an 
average of 850 per hour per trap; or 14 per minute. 
This is going some, and is good evidence of the perfect 
condition in which the traps were kept. The shoot-off 
was refereed by Elmer E. Shaner; E. Reed Shaner, 
scorer; Chas. E. North, puller. The section system was 
again proven to be all right. The five sections finished 
with only twenty minutes separating the first and last 
sections. There were forty-eight moneys in the purse, 
the S9s just getting in. 
The dinner and lunch served in the dining tent was 
pronounced to be the best ever had at a Grand American 
Handicap. The food was plentiful, of good quality, well 
cooked, and well and promptly served. The prices were 
reasonable, and were not boosted, as they have been at 
times in the past.
