Aug. 2i, 1909] 
Aug. 11, Second Day. 
The inclement weather of the early morning Passed 
,-ay, and when the gong sounded for the first squad up 
9 o’clock, every one was in line and in the best of 
irits. The overcast sky became clear about noon to 
e discomfiture of the shooters, for with the sun came 
rise in temperature dispelling the cool breeze an ^ 
freshing effects of the morning. In defiance of the 
eather and with determined mien marched the con¬ 
stants down the sandy line of battle, pounding out 
lod scores and proving “foemen worthy of their steel. 
Tom Marshall was heard to say, It is a perpetual 
>und of pleasure to shoot at the traps in this mans 
iwn because it keeps fresh in one s mind the mnumer- 
ile trips one has taken with Brother Shrmers over 
^‘T^at'"'may be the way it looks to you,” said Fred 
ilbert, “but when I stand out there with the deep sand 
1 about and the wind blowing hard I have again the 
ime feelings that I had while crossing the duck pond 
> show our friends on the British Isles how to shoot. 
1 “When an orange and a few kind words seemed a 
quare meal, eh, Fred?” put in an Indian, nearby 
One hundred and sixty shooters entered for the 75-bird 
ice. which preceded the Preliminary Handicap. It was 
bout an even break between the professionals and ama- 
•urs, both coming in for high honors. 
High score was 74 out of a possible 75, which was won 
y Fred Gilbert, W. H. Heer C. G. Dockendorf and 
L. D. Morrison, professionals, and A. J. \\ ycoff and 
D. Barto, amateurs. Those tying for second place 
nd breaking 73 out of a possible 75 were W. R. Crosby, 
G. Bills and W. S. Hoon. The amateurs were Sam 
dapper, Phil Murray, S. A. Huntley and L S. Young, 
Voolfolk Henderson, Guy V. Deering, D. C. Rand 
nd William Ridley. Third average was won by J. M. 
lughes, W. D. Stannard and H. G. Taylor profes- 
ionals. The amateurs were William Metcalf, J. C. 
•'amechon, R. D. Guptill, J. Graham, J. H. Noel, J. A. 
'■redette, H. W. Converse, and F. D. Coxey, all break- 
ng 72 out of a possible 75.. 
The Preliminary Handicap followed the above event 
nd called for 100 targets, including 10 pairs, which tested 
he mettle of the amateurs as they again faced the traps 
Iter receiving their handicap. The score shows, how¬ 
ever, that creditable work was done. One hundred and 
ifty-six shooters entered for the event. Woolfolk tten- 
lerson, of Kentucky, an amateur, was an easy winner 
vitiiout a tie. He won with the enviable score of 9 l 
jut of a possible 100, including 10 pairs which he broke 
■straight, thus making a replica of Fred Gilbert s score 
m Tuesday. J. M. Hughes, of Milwaukee, won high 
average for the professional with a score 95 out of a 
possible 100. Fred Gilbert and W. R. Crosby were the 
iverage for the professional with a score of y5 out ot a 
possible 100. Those tied for second place among the 
Amateurs were Dick Guptill, H. E. Snyder, J. P. ' ^ lte » 
F. F. Slocum, and Fred McKay, with a total of 93 out 
of a possible 100. J. H. Barber and C. G. Dockendorf 
and H. C. Hirschy tied for third average with 92 out 
of a possible 100 for the professional. The amateurs 
who tied for third average were J. C. Barto, J. 
Aylesworth and I. Gilbraith with 92 out of a possible 100. 
Dick Guptill, of Aitkin, Minn.; Woolfolk Henderson, 
of Kentucky; Sam Huntley, of Omaha, and Sam W. 
Hamilton, of St. Paul, were all closely watched through¬ 
out the day. Their work was of the best and furnished 
material for some guessing as to the likely winner of the 
Western Handicap. Dick Guptill, who won the Grand 
American Handicap in Indianapolis, and WOoltolk 
Henderson, who tied for first place in the same big event 
this year in Chicago, but lost out on the shoot-off and 
having just won the Preliminary Handicap with hands 
down, were considered especially worthy of watching.

THE REPEATER THAT’S USED BY OVER 450,000 SPORTS¬ 
MEN AND ENDORSED BY THE U. S. ORDNANCE BOARD. 
j]HE cardinal points in a repeating shotgun are strength, safety, ease 
_|1 and certainty of action, good shooting and good wearing qualities. 
Winchester Repeating Shotguns possess every one of them and many 
others besides. That’s why they are used by over 45°> 0O ° sportsmen 
and officially endorsed by the,U. S. Ordnance Board as follows: 
“The result of the severe tests to which the gun was 
subjected showed that every part was strong and service¬ 
able. The Board finds that the gun possesses the advantages 
claimed by the manufacturers 
“The gun can be loaded, unloaded, or fired with 
safety and sufficient rapidity. It is accurate, gives good 
penetration * * * * and has little recoil. The working 
parts are few in number, and are simple, strong, and well 
made * and the board is of the opinion that the arm is 
especially well adapted to the purpose for which it is in¬ 
tended. The Board has, therefore, no suggestions nor 
recommendations to suggest in the way of improving 
the gun * * * * 
When the Experts comprising the U. S. Ordnance Board cannot suggest any 
improvement in a gun it means that it is as near perfect as a gun can be made. 
STICK TO A WINCHESTER AND YOU WON’T GET STUCK 
Winchester Guns and Winchester Ammunition—the Red W 
B ran d — are made for each other and sold everywhere.
