June 25, Third Day. 
Grand American Handicap. 
1 he Grand American Handicap was tihe only event on the 
programme on this day. There was a large attendance of 
spectators, far greater in numbers than were in attend¬ 
ance on the previous days, or on the following day de¬ 
voted to the championship contests. This was sufficient 
proof that, in popular estimation, the Handicap is the 
greatest event of the tournament. The years of notoriety 
which it has had, and the recognition of its superlative 
importance in the world’s competition before the cham¬ 
pionship contests were made a part of the programme, 
to which may be added its vast superiority in the num¬ 
ber of its contestants, have firmly established it in 
popular favor as the greatest event of all. As a matter 
of fact, it cannot compare with the professional con¬ 
tests in the matter of real competition, wherein no one 
asks or receives favors, the latter commonly expressed 
in the term handicap. The title, the Grand American 
Handicap, also tends to impress on the public the high 
importance of the event, whereas the championships are 
modestly designated the amateur championship and the 
professional championship. To hold their just import¬ 
ance to the great handicap, they would better be en¬ 
titled respectively the Grand American Amateur Cham¬ 
pionship and the Grand American .Professional Cham¬ 
pionship. 
Hie crowd began to arrive early. Car after car arrived 
with their loads of visitors until after midday it was 
estimated that there were from 1500 to" 3000 people on the 
grounds, though probably the first is the more correct 
estimate. Quite a number of automobiles were in evi¬ 
dence, which added to the means of transportation, and 
also indicated that the great contests appealed alike 
favorably to wealth and meekness. 
The weather was hot, but the absence of the high 
degree of humidity of the two previous days lessened 
the discomfort materially. A dry, gentle wind, blowing 
from northwest to north, was a material aid to comfort, 
It, with the hot sunlight, quickly brought to the 
visitors all the delicate colors of tan from the intense 
red of a boiled lobster to the more subdued shades of 
lovely brown. There were many ladies and children 
present, all smartly gowned, and many men and boys, 
also in glad raiment. 
There were mammoth white clouds, dense masses of 
them, drifting across the sky all day long. When one 
drifted across the face of the sun, there was of course 
a shadowy light, which many times changed quickly 
to bright sunlight as the cloud passed by the sun, with 
the consequent disastrous effects in the scores of those 
whose eyes were not equal to the instant readjustments 
necessary in meeting such variable conditions of light 
and shadow. I he white, fine rock which covered the 
places where the shooters stood at the firing points, 
radiated the heat and reflected the light so that the 
shooters, when at the score, had a greater strain on the 
eyes in the sunlight and suffered from a greater degree 
of heat than when elsewhere. In particular, the high 
glare from the broken rock aforementioned, strained the 
eyes of the elderly men who were unprovided with 
stained eyeglasses. By the way, the latter form of eye 
protection was noticeably favored by many of the shoot¬ 
ers, and on account of its importance will gradually 
win its way into general use in the future. Another 
circumstance, showing the transition from older fancies, 
was the greater number of single-barreled guns in evi¬ 
dence. If target tournaments are confined to pro¬ 
grammes as at present in vogue—that is to say, to 
competition which requires the use of but one barrel—it 
is a reasonable presumption that the single barrel will 
supersede the double barrel in greater part in time. 
The handicap ran smoothly from start to finish.. Traps 
Nos. 1 and 2 were the most difficult in respect to the 
making of high scores. The shooters faced north, hence 
the northwest to north wind was from 9 to 12 o’clock 
in riflemen’s language. The left-quarterers had a ten¬ 
dency to climb gradually upward with varying degrees 
of angles, while the right-quarterers were depressed and 
had their speed accelerated at the same time. These 
flights taxed the skill of the most expert shooters, those
