Following them were A. C. Buckles, A. C. Connor 
and Geo. K. Mackie, with 147 each. In third place 
were A. H. Campbell, J. B. Goodbar, W. Henderson, 
J. Noel, J. W. Akard D. J. Holland, S. A. Huntley, 
J. S. Frink and P. Baggerman, with 146 each. Art 
Killam, who has taken a leading place in the pro- 
sional ranks this season, tied with Ed. O’Brien for 
first place on 14a J. R. Taylor, the Columbus, Ohio, 
crack, and big Fred Bills, of Chicago, were secured 
with 148 each. T. R. Graham occupied third place 
alone on 147. The special event at 25 pairs, followed 
the regular events and was finished at 4.10. Forty- 
three shooters entered the event. D. D. Gross finish¬ 
ing high over all with 48. John Noel, of Nashville, 
Tenn., was at the head of the amateur class, and next 
to Gross, with 46, tying for second place with Ed. 
O’Brien, the Florence, Kansas, professional, on 46. 
John R. Taylor was third with 45. It is getting to 
be one man’s job to keep track of the runs made by 
the long run trophy hunters, and it surely keeps him 
busy. A few of those recorded are A. M. Burr, 117; 
A. C. Buckles, no; A. Killam, 109; W. S. Spencer, 
106; J. W. Akard, 105; A. Killam, 100; E. S. Winbigler, 
95; F. J. Reppenhagen, 90; thirty-five contestants made 
runs ranging from 50 to 89. 
Messrs. Bell and Ebert evidently had made some 
deal with the weather sharps, for a more beautiful 
day never greeted a crowd of anxious shooters than 
welcomed them on Wednesday. Preliminary Handi¬ 
cap Day—Fresh, cool and with a light breeze in the 
early winning, the day was all that could be asked 
for. Late in the afternoon a rain storm passed over 
the city, but the shoot was over and no damage, 
was done. There were 124 entries in the morning’s 
events at 100 targets, and this number was increased 
to 130 in the Preliminary Handicap. The quality of 
the contestants may be judged from the fact that 
considerably over half of the entrants in the regular 
events finished with over 90. C. L. Plummer, of 
Swan River, Manitoba, led the amateurs with 99; 
C. R. Ray, D. J. Holland and P. Baggerman, all 
local men, were only one target behind, with 98 
each, and closely following them came W E Byrn, 
G. L. Dering, A. C. Connor, C. B. Eaton, W. Hender¬ 
son and J. S. Frink with 97 each. The professionals 
had a merry struggle among themselves, finishing in 
bunches, with Ed. Banks, R. W. Clancy and Art 
Killam in the first flight on 99 each; O. R. Dickey, 
J R. Graham, Ed. O’Brien and J. R. Taylor, giving 
them a hot race, and losing out by only one target 
with 98 each; then came T. H. Fox, Bart Lewis and 
H. D. Gibbs, with 97 each. There may have been 
squads just as good as No. 18, S. A. Huntley, J. W. 
Akard, W. Henderson, A. Killam and J. R. Graham, 
but none could have been better, for in event 4, each 
member broke straight, making a squad record of 
100; squad 8, in event 2, and squads 17 and 19 in 
event 4, each made a total of 99. The Preliminary 
Handicap was hotly contested, and good scores were 
the rule. The handicaps were awarded by the follow¬ 
ing committee which met at the Marquette Hotel, 
on Tuesday evening: J. A. Campbell, Tulsa, Okla.; 
J. W. Bell, St. Louis, Mo.; Geo. Mackie, Lawrence, 
Kan.; G. V. Dering, Columbus, Wise., and T. L. 
Andrews, Lawrenceville, Ills.; all gentlemen of wide 
experience and thorough knowledge of the game, and 
well qualified to judge of the ability of the con¬ 
testants. That their work was fairly done is evi¬ 
denced by the fact that not a complaint was heard. 
When the last returns were in it was found that J. 
B. Goodbar, of Memphis, Tenn., with a total of 97, 
from the 19 yard work, was high, and he was awarded 
the first place trophy; F. Knittel, 16 yards, was nin- 
ner-up with 06; a bunch of seven were tied for third 
trophy on 95; A. M. Burr, M. C. McGeehob, G. W. 
Ball, T. M. Ehler, each at 19 yards; Woolfolk Hen- 
derson, 23 yards; B. A. Erhlich, 18 yards, and J. 
S. Frink, 20 yards. In the shoot off. J. S. Frink 
won with 19; A. M. Burr and T. M. Ehler, 18 each;. 
M. C. McGeehan, 17, and B. A. Erhlich, 15; Hen¬ 
derson and Ball withdrew and did not take part in 
the shoot-off. In the professional class in the Pre¬ 
liminary C. G. Spencer finished in the lead with 
95 from the limit distance of 23 yards, W. T. Crosby, 
also at 23 yards, and L. Ebert, at 20 yards, tied on 94 
for second place; H. Kennicott, 22 yards, 92, and 
H. J. Donnelly, 20 yards, 91. Thursday Handicap Day 
was another one of ideal conditions for shooting. The 
attendance was larger than on the previous days and 
the contestants were closely watched by a large gallery 
of spectators, among them being many ladies interested 
in out-door sport. The morning events were well filled 
and many good scores were recorded. D. J. Holland 
set the work of 100 straight, and was followed by J. 
W. Akard, S. A. Huntley, C. Fundertrenk and A. H. 
Campbell, only one target behind with 99 each; in the 
next place in 98 were J. W. Bell, C. F. Linde, L. 
Seidner, W. J. Wauf, J. B. Goodbar and P. Bagger- 
man. The professionals were just as classy as the 
amateurs in their wfirk. J. R. Graham accounting for 
the whole century and Art Killam, W. R. Crosby, Ed. 
O’Brien and F. G. Bills, dropping but one target each. 
The Western Handicap event was closed with a rec¬ 
ord entry of 230. The contest was a close one. F. A. 
Snell, Carlinsville, Ills., 18 yards; W. J. Raup, Port¬ 
age, Wise., 20 yards, and G. L. Grubb, Wetmore, Kan., 
2j yards; tying for first place on 97; in second place 
were A. C. Connor, Springfield, Ills.; G. T. Hall, Laoni, 
Ills.; J. H. Noel, Nashville, Tenn., an<^ C. C. Plum¬ 
mer, Swan Lake, Manitoba; all at 20 yards, with 96 
each; then came M. L. Barr, Perry, Mo., 16 yards, 
and J. W. Bell, the well-known local shot, 19 yards, 
with 95 each. The shoot-off for first money and trophy 
was a hot one. In the first round the men tied on 18; 
the second round settled the winner of first place; W. 
Rauf scoring 19, and the others tying on 18; then fol¬ 
lowed the shoot-off for second and third trophies; the 
first two rounds resulted in ties on 18 and 20; the next 
time Snell won on a score of 19 to 16 and took second 
trophy, Grubb getting third. The professionals also 
finished well up in the list. G. H. Ford, Nashville, 
Tenn., 16 yards; Ed. Banks, Wilmington, Del., 20 yards; 
J. R. Graham, Ingleside, Ills., 23 yards; 95 each; H. 
D. Gibbs, Union City, Tenn., 22 yards, 94; O. R. 
Dickey, Boston, Mass., 18 yards; Bart Lewis, Auburn,
