M»y 10, Third Day. 
.19 
The third day was delightfully pleasant. The sun 
shone clear and bright, and the gentle breeze was fra¬ 
grant with the delicate odors of growing vegetation. 
The heavy rainfall had washed grass and ground to 
perfect cleanliness, and imparted a deep green and 
healthful vigor to every growing blade and leaf. 
Under the more favorable weather conditions, the scores 
as a whole improved, and there were fewer complaints 
of the mysterious and unsolvable target flights of the 
previous two days. Still, traps Nos. 2 and 3 gave many 
of the shooters unexpected goose-eggs. 
As on the previous day, six 15-target events preceded 
the handicap. W. R. Crosby set a great pace. He broke 
88 cut of the 90, the total of the six events, running 
straight in the first three. The famous experts, L. S. 
German, W. H. Heer and J. M. Hawkins, scored 86 each. 
H. S. Welles scored 85. A. B. Richardson, champion 
of Delaware; E. H. Storr, G. Lyon and A. Meaders 
scored 83 each.

The Southern Handicap. 
The Southern Handicap, the most important event of 
the whole tournament, was begun about 1 o’clock. 
There were eighty-two contestants, and of these, one- 
half, forty-one, were on the 16yd. mark. The handi¬ 
capping was received with much favor by every one, 
which was a record-breaker in the way of a pleasing 
novelty. Every one knows, neverthelss, that trapshooters 
are easily pleased when they are pleased. 
The purse amounted to $626. The fifty regular entries 
at $8 net, amounted to $400, and two post entries at $13, 
amounted' to $26. To this there was added money $200, 
which made the total mentioned. The winners and win¬ 
nings were as follows: G. S. McCarty (92) $125.20; 
H. Buckwalter (92) $100.15; A. Meaders (91) $81.35; E. W. 
Sanford (90) $59.40; E. M. Funk (90) 59.40; W. M. Foord 
(88) $43.80; YV. Henderson (87) $37.55; C. H. Newcomb 
(86) $29.20: Dr. Hillsman (86) $29.20; J. A. McKelvey 
(86) $29.20; D. Upson (85) $15.60; N. W. Walker (85) 
$15.60. 
The greatest interest was manifested in the shoot-off 
between the two amateur leaders in the contest for the 
trophy. Each had broken 92. They were shooting in 
good form. The first shoot-off resulted' in another tie 
on 18 out of 20. In the second shoot-off McCarty ran 
20 straight to 18 by Buckwalter, and won the trophy. 
The win was exceedingly pleasing to the assemblage, as 
McCarty is strictly an amateur, and also is a recent 
acquisition to the sport of trapshooting. Andy Meaders, 
of Nashville, Tenn., who had achieved renown as a skill¬ 
ful and successful trapshooter before many trapshooters 
of the present day were born, shot in fine form, and 
much of the time was a formidable contestant for first 
place. He, in the old days, met the best shooters in the 
land, in which class were A. H. Bogardus and Dr. 
Carver. He scored 91, and took third money. 
In the professional class the war horse Crosby scored 
92 and was high. Hearne, Lawrence, Hightower 89. 
Col. Anthony, Ward and German 88. 
The conditions of the Southern Handicap were as fol¬ 
lows: 100 targets,*unknown angles, $10 entrance, targets 
included; handicaps 16 to 23yds.; high guns, $200 added 
to the purse. Manufacturers’ agents shot along for 
targets only. 
After the shoot, Manager Shaner, in behalf of the As¬ 
sociation, presented the trophies to the handicap win¬ 
ners, Messrs. FI. B. Stokley and G. S. McCarty. His 
presentation speech was eloquent and was warmly ap¬ 
plauded. 
The high averages of the sweepstakes of the three 
days, a total of 360 targets, were as follows: D. A. 
Upson, Cleveland, O., 333; D. E. Hickey, Pittsburg, 329; 
A. B. Richardson, Dover, Del., 327; FI. E. Buckwalter, 
Philadelphia, 326; J. Martin, New York, and Franklin
