Sept. 3, Third Day. 
The culmination of the first Rocky Mountain Handicat 
w £? Thursday, Sept. 3, when was shot the event fron 
which the tournament was given its name. It was a fin< 
day for shooting, the clear Colorado sky favoring the 
men 1 he blue sky line across Berkeley Lake was c 
wonderful background, giving the men every advantage 
.brom the hrst it was evident that good scores would be 
made, as many of those who had not done well on the 
previous days had secured better control. 
\\. W. Shemwell, of Colorado Springs, who registerec 
a year or two ago from Salt Lake City, proved the win 
ner, he breaking 94 of his targets. Next him was £ 
class of four with 93, Crapsey, Veatch, Tucker an. 
Linderman. Of these, Tucker had seemed likely to 
either win or tie, as his work up to 80 targets had beei 
better than any of the others. But in the last scores 
turned in, he made but 15 out of his 20. Shemwell was 
the only one of the Western amateurs who was able to 
get well up. Of the 320 targets shot at in what were 
called the “regular” events, he broke 300, standing high 
among the amateurs. 
The meeting thus closed on time, and with general 
satisfaction, if one may not consider the shooters who 
were in hard luck. Though the attendance was not up 
to that of previous meetings in Denver, the reasons were 
well understood to be from the outside; not being be¬ 
cause of a loss of interest in trapshooting. Both the 
officers of the Denver Trap Club, and of the Interstate 
Association were pleased, so much so that plans are being 
laid for the shoot of next year on the new grounds. At 
the close of the shooting, the Interstate representatives 
congratulated the trap club of Denver, and the officers 
of the latter returned the compliment in a hearty manner. 
The handicaps of the Rocky Mountain Handicap were 
allotted by Joseph Rohrer, of Colorado Springs, Colo.; 
Dr. C. E. Cook, of New London, la., and W. G. Ser¬ 
geant, of Joplin, Mo. Gordon Pickett, of Denver, had 
charge of the cashier’s office. The compiler of scores 
was M. F. Sharp, of the U. M. C. Company.
