The weather was fine. All went along finely up to 3 
o’clock, when h heavy rain set in, and the shooting was 
postponed for the day. The only ones who were ben¬

through the downpour. The events were finished by 
noon the following day. The results were that Barkley 
and Taylor made 211, Wade and Mrs. Topp 205, Rogers

Sunny South 
Handicap. 
This was 
not started until 
about the middle 
of the 
afternoon, when it proved that there was not light 
enough to finish same. The wind was strong and the air 
cool, and the targets were very erratic in their flight. 
The right-quarterers were very low and fast, and drop¬ 
ping. Sometimes the left were just the opposite, though 
twisting very badly. This caused the scores to be low 
for the class of men participating. 
A bad feature of this race was that this 100 was to 
be counted on the general averages, and targets looked 
pretty small to the 21 and 22yd. men. 
Most all of the good ones went wrong before the shoot 
was half over. Mr. Hubby made a very good score up 
to the fiftieth round, when he had missed but 4; but 
the darkness was coming on before the third string of 
25 had been finished. 
When it came time to start the last round it was 5 
P. M., and fast getting dark. The squads were divided 
and two of them shot at the same time, yet the finish 
was made so late that fire from the gun barrel was more 
distinguishable than the targets they were trying to shoot 
at. This put out Mr. Hubby, as he lost his last 5 targets. 
They were hard to judge, and the loss of the last target 
put him just one behind the winner. It was Bosley and 
Olsen who got really the worst of the bad light, as they 
had each of them lost hut 8 when they started on the 
last string. Bosley lost 5 and Olsen 6, and that put Bos¬ 
ley just one behind the winner, who turned out in the 
end to be Mr. Reno, the gentleman from Douglas, Ariz., 
with 87. Mr. Reno had shot all well, and had been 
rather unfortunate owing to the handicap. All were 
pleased to see him win. The scores:

Jan. 26, Sixth Day. 
The last day turned out fairly good—cloudy, but not 
so cool as the previous day. There were on the pro¬ 
gramme nine events of 20 targets each, sliding handicap 
system. Then there were two 1 more events of 25 with 
good added money. The first one was $150. 
The shooting was much enjoyed by all participants, 
and they took occasion to break up nearly all the tar¬ 
gets, as they were shooting all from 16yds. 
Taylor set the others a pattern by smashing the 50 
straight, and there were four out with 49. Taylor had 
as a partner in the first, Mr. Otto Sens, of Houston, and 
in the second Mr. Olsen, the Nebraska gentleman, and 
they won a neat sum. 
One of the surprises of the day was the win of general 
high average by Wm. R. Crosby, beating out Barkley 
by 4 targets, and that when Barkley was 6 in the lead 
when the day’s programme was started. You can see 
that that means that Crosby broke 10 more targets on 
this day than did Barkley. Crosby made 221 and Bark- 
led 211 out of the 230. Rolla Heikes was second for this 
day with 214, and Mrs. Top was 212 and tied with 
Hatcher. Hubby tied Barkley with 211

This includes two 25 events that were specials, shoot¬ 
ers standing at liivds. The first one was for a special 
$150 added, open to amateurs who shot through the en¬ 
tire programme. In this event Taylor and Otto Sens 
went straight, while several made 24. In the other event 
there was also a special purse, which was won as to first 
by Taylor and Olsen on 25. It was noticeable how much 
better the scores were when all were at 16yds.
