The second contest of the series of three for the James 
trophies took place on Tuesday, Feb. 8. The day p - 
vious had been bitterly cold, but the weather moderated 
greatly. Although the shoot was called at 1 o clock, it 
was an hour later when the majority of contestants ar¬ 
rived. Thirty-one entries were on the books tor tne 
main race, while thirty-three shot in the extra events. 
Though there was little wind compared to the day and 
the Saturday previous, the scores were not of so hign 
an order as' could have been expected. 
John Hendrickson and Peter Kling showed up again, 
the former looking in fine fettle, a relief to his many 
friends, as John has been under the weather for quite a 
spell. Dr. Moeller’s absence was again noted, and many 
inquiries were made for him. We hope that the veteran 
is not ill. Charley Schreyvogel did not have his eye 
with him. Al. Hendrickson made a runaway race of it 
in Class C, with 44. Mr. R. Victor second with 39- 
pretty good work for the latter, as he has shot less y 131 ! 
a year. The Class A work was mediocre. Several of 
that class were present and did not enter the main event. 
President Bergen and Treasurer Dreyer were so busy 
attending to the wants of the shooters that the former 
did not fire a shot to-day. 
When the big bunch arrived after 4 o clock the upper 
set of traps were placed in requisition and over 4009 tar¬ 
gets were accounted for before 5 P. M 
The serial contest ended before 4 o clock. Remsen 
and Morgan accounted for the 15-straights of the day, 
and the secretary the only 25 straight. John Hendrickson 
got in a 23 and 24; Vanderveer a 24, Dalton a 23. The 
best score of the day was Dreyer’s 22 from the 19yd. 
mark Woodruff, who was high in Class B with 43, 
duplicated Dreyer’s 22 at 19yds. Sam Short refereed. 
Billy De Long scored, and the secretary acted as cashier 
for the main event. The third and final contest of the 
series will take place on Tuesday, March 8.
