trade: mark 
just concluded at Bisley, England, against the shooters and cartridges of the world. The importance of 
these Olympic matches emphasizes most convincingly that Uncle Sam’s team and his UMC cartridges 
are unbeatable. The Americans all shot U. M. C. factory loaded ammunition after testing all makes A 
cablegram just received from Dr. Sayre, the team captain, assures us that results were so satisfactory that 
the next team, Belgium, was defeated by a margin of 46 points, while John Bull was 98 points behind

Notes. 
Mr. C. E. Comer, Secretary-Treasurer of the Palefaces, 
presented that organization with a beautiful pennant, 
doubly appreciated for its intrinsic worth as a Paletace 
banner and as an index of the gracious thought of the 
generous donor. It bore in large white letters the 
word “Palefaces” on a deep blue ground, as it proudly 
waved over the club house in simple glory, let the 
winds come whence they may. May it wave long and 
well! 
The hospital tent, an institution established because 
of several cases of heat prostration which occurred at 
the Eastern Handicap last year, had a trained nurse 
in charge, and was ready for service to afflicted humanity 
on occasion. The physicians among the shooters were 
a most efficient hospital staff, had their services been 
seriously needed. It was a very popular nook, and al¬ 
though no one was overheated, quite a number of men 
were treated. 
Mrs. W. K. Park, erstwhile trap editor of Shooting 
Life, was quite a regular visitor at the tournament. 
The hearty handshakes and pleasant greetings which 
were extended to her from the trapshooters and other 
friends present were a testimonial to the fact that 
capability, industry and good purpose have their full 
mead of appreciation among the devotees of the cleanest 
of sports, trapshooting. 
Mr. J. Mowell Hawkins’ 91 out of 95, in the sweep- 
stakes preceding the Preliminary Handicap, was not a 
stunt languidly to perform on a July morning after 
breakfast, but he did it in a matter of fact way, without 
having any idea that he shot Baltimore onto the map. 
By the way, did any one ever pause to analyze the 
modest ego of a man who, after smashing some targets, 
declares that theretofore his place of domicile was un¬ 
known, but that thereafter it was on the map, because 
he shot it there, doncher know. 
The total number of targets thrown in connection with 
the tournament was 65,890. 
In the Preliminary Handicap, all the entrants, 107, 
were starters. There were 28 professionals and 79 ama¬ 
teurs, who were festooned around a purse of $504. 
In the Eastern Handicap, there were 31 professionals 
and 70 amateurs, a total of 101, of whom only one failed 
to start. The purse of $775 was not looked at askance. 
The Squier money-back purse amounted to $789, of 
which $622.90 was devoted to the bread line, leaving a 
surplus of $166.10 to be divided among the high-gun 
amateurs. 
Mr. H. E. Buckwalter had a long, hard uphill struggle 
to win the Preliminary. At the end of the first 50, Mc¬ 
Carty, the Philadelphia expert, led him five targets, while 
there were a host who could beat him out on an 80 per 
cent, proposition, which was his performance in respect 
to his first 50; that is, he scored 40 out of 50. But for 
quiet, bulldog grit and persistency in a long, nerve- 
racking contest, Buckwalter has no superiors. He shut 
his mouth, fired away, broke 48 out of his second 50 and 
won. 
The Philadelphia shooters were leading the procession 
in a way which would not be denied concerning the first 
prizes and highest honors in the Preliminary Handicap. 
First went to the redoubtable champion of Pennsylvania, 
Mr. H. E. Buckwalter, and second and third to Messrs. 
G. S. McCarty and W. B. Severn. Pennsylvania may be 
a bit awkward in erecting and furnishing public build¬ 
ings, but in matters of trapshooters and trapshooting, she 
is all right. 
Mr. A. H. Durston, of the Lefever Arms Co., Syra¬ 
cuse, N. Y v has been gradually gaining in skill and 
class form in his trapshooting, which came conspicu¬ 
ously in public evidence when he calmly cracked out 
88 out of 100 in the Preliminary Handicap, beating all 
the mighty amateurs, except Buckwalter, whom he tied, 
and also beating all the humble professionals excepting 
Mr. Neaf Apgar, who scored 89 and was thereby high 
professional. He doubtlessly would have beaten Apgar, 
too, had the latter shot under like conditions, which he 
did not do; that is to say, he shot from his west side, 
commonly known as left handed or south paw. 
The innate modesty of the trap editor of Forest and 
Stream some years ago prompted him to mildly suggest 
to the officers of the Interstate Association, that the ap¬ 
pointment of a permanent, standing handicap committee 
was both undesirable and inoperative. It was inopera¬ 
tive because the committee as a whole could not serve 
through a series of tournaments, some of which were 
thousands of miles apart, and also because a permanent 
committee would not and could not know the capabil¬ 
ities of the local shooters in a certain section as a 
local committee would know them. It was undesirable to 
have a permanent committee because, after haying served 
once, a committee is very apt to win the dislike, not to 
say contempt, of men who indifferently dwell at cross 
roads where the tall grass blooms, or in cities where men 
know what they want, and, knowing it, think the handi- 
cappers should know it, too. By appointing a new 
handicap committee at each subsidiary tournament, the 
best available material on hand could be secured to act
