Grand American Handicap. 
Last year the total number of G. A. H. entries was 
362; the total number who filled was 334; the total num¬ 
ber of forfeits was 28; the starters numbered 332. In the 
previous year—that is, in 1907—the Grand American 
Handicap, held also at Chicago, had 495 entries, of 
which 34 forfeited. Hence Chicago has sustained its 
reputation as being among the leaders in popularity and 
influence. 
Prior winners of the Grand American Handicap are 
as follows; 1900, R. O. Heikes, the only professional 
who has won this event; 1901, E. C. Griffith; 1902, C. W. 
Floyd; 1903, M. Diefenderfer; 1904, R. D. Guptil; 1905, 
R. R. Barber; 1906, F. E. Rogers; 1907, J. J. Blanks; 
1908, Fred Harlow.

June 24, Third Day. 
The weather was hot. There was a breeze now and 
then to relieve the calm. _ , 
This day was fixed as per the programme for the Grand 
American Handicap solely, but the Preliminary Handicap 
carried over till near 2 o'clock in the afternoon, although 
Mr. Shaner kept the competition going actively. 
There were 435 contestants in the Grand American 
Handicap. 
A large percentage of the entrants were new-comers in 
this event. It was quite noticeable that they took up much 
more time when at the score than did the more experi¬ 
enced contestants. Instead of each shooter being prompt¬ 
ly ready to call pull on the instant the referee declared 
a target “broke” or “lost,” there were distinct pauses 
while the shooters adjusted themselves, and this slower 
action prolonged the competition. ... 
However, progress was steadily made, and the day 
ended with the first string of 20 targets finished and with 
fourteen squads having completed on the second 20. 
June 25, Fifth Day. 
Friday, which had-been fixed for the amateur and pro¬ 
fessional championships, was devoted exclusively to the 
Grand American Handicap. Soon after midday, a ram- 
storm came up, suspending the shooting for a brief while. 
The afternoon was cloudy most of the time, and there was 
quite a variable light. Four squads, 51 to 54 inclusive, 
were all who had not finished when the day’s competition 
ended. The afternoon was a succession of thrills as one 
shooter after another had a chance to win, if he could 
perform well enough to finish straight. The crowd would 
gather at the best points of observation,^ eagerly watch¬ 
ing the shooting of the leaders. J. R. Livingston, Spring- 
ville, Ala., was looked upon as a special favorite, who 
had broken his first 60 straight, and had 79 out of 80, but he 
lost 3 of his last string, finishing with 96. W. Wettleaff 
of Nickols, la., had to break his last 20 straight to get in 
the tie. Fred Shattuck, secretary of the Columbus, O., 
Gun Club, also had to break his last 20 straight to get in 
the tie, a situation to try a man’s nerve to the utmost. 
G. E Burns, of Cleveland, O., shot a consistent race. 
He broke his first 20 straight, following this with four 
19s. Thus there were four in the tie for first place. 
On Saturday morning the four unfinished squads were 
quickly at the score on time, and ended at about 9:50, 
when the tie was next in order, and promptly shot off. 
There was no noticeable nervousness on the part of the 
contestants at the climax. Livingston led off with a 
miss, which was a serious handicap. He ran out the re¬ 
mainder of his string without further mishap. 
Wettleaff skipped his eighth, tenth and nineteenth, while 
Burns dropped 2, the fifth and sixth together. Shattuck 
ran his 20 straight, and was carried joyously to the club 
house by many admirers amid much applause. 
Before the shoot-off began, Secretary-Manager Shaner 
requested all present to refrain from any applause or 
sympathy till the tie was shot, but there was a little 
applause when Shattuck finished his last shot. The Grand 
American Handicap was finished about 10:40. Paul North 
refereed the shoot-off.

were as follows; 
Anderson, H. D., Hartwell, O.
