April 18, Second Day. 
Thursday was a decided contrast to the sunshine of the 
day before. It was bitter cold, and a fine mist fell all 
the forenoon. The sky was leaden and gray, and the 
camp stove Mr. Voorhis had placed in the ladies’ tent 
was the only thing that made life endurable in the 
“open.” The shooters built a camp-fire and clustered 
around that w'hen they were not facing the traps. 
The scores were unusually good, considering the 
weather conditions and the dark background. In the 
afternoon it was almost impossible to see the targets. 
Mrs. Topperwein and Mr. O’Brien were high, 194 out of 
a possible 200; Adams and Plank second, 189; Thomas 
and Olsen third, 188. 
After the ten 20-target events the duPont trophy, a 
sterling silver watch fob given by the duPont Powder 
Co., for amateurs only, was shot for at 25 targets, 
Elliott sliding handicap. Mr. Haley, of Kansas City, 
won the trophy, 25 straight. Taylor made a run of 24, 
missed his last target on account of the darkness. The
