The Tri-State Championship Shoot. 
The fourth annual, emblematic of the wing shot cham¬ 
pionship of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, open to ama¬ 
teurs only, was contested for at Dayton, Ky., on the 
grounds of the Northern Kentucky Gun Club, on 
Friday, Dec. 31, and Saturday, Jan. 1. The first day 
was devoted to a 50-bird race, in order to give the boys 
a day of practice. 
The second was the big event, the championship race. 
Two handsome trophies were awarded to the winners. 
The prizes were such as only Kentucky knows how to 
award. 
The weather conditions were fine, as the thermometer 
was hovering around zero for the past few days, and 
the temperature practically moderated to mild spring 
weather for the shoot. 
On the first day there were fourteen entries. On the 
second day, twenty shooters faced the traps. A good 
lunch was served free to all shooters; in fact, true South¬ 
ern hospitality was dealt out to all, a thing not new to 
the Northern Kentucky Gun Club. The birds were not 
a very good lot. Now and then a fast driver would 
slip out and usually get away. Outside of this, there 
was nothing to brag about. 
F. D. Alkire, of Williamsport, won the 50-bird race 
with 49. He has been shooting a fast clip of late at 
this game, and is picked as a winner in every race. In 
the championship race he lost one early in the game, 
which practically put him out of the running, as noth¬ 
ing but a straight stood to win, and there were some 
pretty hard propositions in the game. Walker, Schreck, 
Hammerschmidt, Yoris, and Gould, who stood to finish 
straight; Clay and Payne both losing one also early in 
the game. Yoris left his 14th slip away, and Gould his 
15th, which put them out of the running. 
Three good ones were still in, Schreck, Walker and 
Hammerschmidt, the latter losing his 16th and 17th, 
putting him out of commission. 
It was Schreck and Walker for it. Both were shooting 
in good form, and both finished up with 25 straight. In 
the shoot-off at 10 birds, Walker won by killing straight. 
Schreck, finishing with 9, took his defeat with the best 
of grace and was the first to congratulate his opponent 
and winner. The club can be congratulated on the 
good management of their shoot, which proved so sat¬ 
isfactory to all who contested in it, as all left with only 
the kindest words for them and expressing the wish 
that they be with them at the end of 1910 and the start 
of 1911. 
Dec. 31, First Day. 
The program on the first day called for 50 birds, 
so arranged as to make four separate events, the entire 
50 birds being event No. 1, the first 25 being event No. 
2; second, No. 3, and the last 10, No. 4. The handi¬ 
caps ranged from 26 to 33yds. The entrance for the 50 
birds was $10, birds extra. The money was divided 40, 
30, 20, 10 per cent., class shooting. A sterling trophy 
to go to the winner of event No. 1, which was won by 
F. D. Alkire, of Williamsport, O., with 49 out of 50, 
his closest competitor being Walker and Payne, who 
finished up with 48 each. The entrance for event Not 2 
was $10, it being the first 20 birds of the fifty. The 
motley in this race was divided 50, 30, 20 per cent., high 
guns. This race was won by Alkire with 20 straight. 
Event No. 3, the second 20 , was shot under the same 
conditions and was won by George Walker with 20 
straight, Alkire losing his last bird, which was a very 
fast driver. The last 10, or event No. 4, shot under the 
same conditions, resulted in a tie; viz., Clay, Voris, 
Alkire, Chamberlain. Holaday, Gould and Payne with 
10 straight kills. The shoot wound up in good time 
for all.

Jan. I, Second Day. 
The program on the second day called for 25 birds, 
which constituted the tri-state championship race. The 
total entrance in this race was $36, birds included. Of 
this, $16.25 was the entrance for the 25 birds, $10 for the 
first 15 birds, and $10 for the last 10 birds. The handicaps 
ranged from 29 to 33yds. With the exception of the last 
10 birds, class shooting governed the shoot, the money 
in the big event was divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent., 
the other two events were divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent. 
The result of the shoot was a tie, viz., Schreck and 
Walker with 25 straight kills. It was decided to shoot 
off tie in the special event of 10 birds, which was made up 
after the regular event was finished. The result of the 
10 birds was the defeat of Schreck, who missed his 
eighth bird. Walker killed straight. A handsome 
sterling trophy went to the winner. 
In the 10-bird special the entrance was $5, money 
divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent., class shooting. Ham¬ 
merschmidt and Walker tied for first with 10 straight, 
five tying for second with 9, and two for third with S. 
A miss-and-out followed. It was won by Hammer¬ 
schmidt with 7 straight, Chamberlain and Woodbury 
losing their seventh birds. This event practically wound 
up the shoot, with the exception of a few stragglers who 
came late and shot at a few birds. 
The fourth tri-state live bird championship race came 
to a close very satisfactory to all who attended. The
