The Western Handicap. 
The main event of the entire programme the Western 
Handicap, was called at 1 o’clock sharp. There were 143 
entries. The same perfect weather conditions had con¬ 
tinued from the morning and were present during the 
entire event. The scores made in the handicap were 
far above the average. The main event resulted in five 
contestants tying with a score of 96. They were B. F. 
F.lbert, of Des Moines. Ia.; Fred Shattuck, of Columbus, 
O.; B. F. Veach, of Verdon, Neb.; Fred Vermilyea, of 
Audubon, la., and W. L. Mulford, of Novinger, Miss., 
all shooting from the 18yds. mark, with the exception of 
Shattuck and Veach, who shot from the 17yds. mark. 
The first shoot-off of the tie, at 20 targets, resulted in 
a tie of 19, between Mr. Elbert and Mr. Shattuck. Mr. 
Elbert won on the second string of 20 targets with a 
score of 19. Mr. Shattuck had a score of 15. In the 
absence of the president of the Interstate Association, 
the trophies emblematic of the winning of the preliminary 
handicap and the Western Handicap were presented to 
Mr. Thompson and Mr. Elbert by Mr. Elmer E. 
Shaner, the secretary-manager of the Interstate Associa¬ 
tion, with a few well chosen remarks. 
In conclusion, it is but fair to state that too much 
credit for the excellent management and thorough suc¬ 
cess of the third Western Handicap cannot be given to 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, who had active charge of the 
entire handicap. From the time the first gun was fired 
on practice day until the time the trophies had been 
awarded the successful contestants, there was not a
