Aug. 12, Third Day. 
A murky sky with a perceptible drop in the tempera¬ 
ture were the weather conditions that prevailed through¬ 
out the day. Though the skv was overcast, the light 
was good as long as it lasted; but darkness settled down 
early precluding all possibility of finishing the Western 
Handicap event, which was delayed in getting started. 
Twenty-three squads, out of the thirty-four finished; the 
remaining fifty-five shooters, or eleven squads, were 
compelled to finish Friday. One hundred and seventy 
shooters were entered for the 100-bird race (five 20-target 
events), the only event of the day that preceded the 
Western Handicap event. A fine list of scores was re¬ 
corded, and much enthusiasm was shown by the spec¬ 
tators, who gathered in large numbers close about the 
several traps to better watch the performance of the 
contestants. Many conjectures as to who was the likely 
winner of the great event of the day were heard. Much 
interest was centered in Guptill, of the Gopher State; 
Woolfolk Henderson, from the Blue Grass country, and 
Sam Hamilton, the local shot. At the close of the 100- 
bird event of the morning it was seen that the Kentuck¬ 
ian led the Gopher from the North by one bird, and the 
local Gopher by three birds, he having grassed 96 while 
the other two had 95 and 93 breaks tabulated. 
Fred Gilbert (professional) landed high average with¬ 
out a tie, making almost a perfect score, with 99 out of 
a possible 100 targets. E. A. Feldman, amateur, pushed 
the professional hard, being a close second with 98 
Third average was won by W. H. Heer, T. M. Hughes 
and H. G. Taylor (professionals) with 97, while J S. 
was the onI y am ateur landing in third place with 
97 birds to his credit. 
When the Western Handicap event was called every¬ 
one was on the qui vive and excitement ran high The 
favorites were followed down the line as they stood at the 
18, 19 and 20 yard marks, while dark horses were trot¬ 
ting along in the rear at 16yds. Hamilton, the local, 
went out with 95 out of a possible 100. This was tied 
by an unexpected trailer, Fred Ellett, of Illinois, who 
broke 95. Henderson went out with 94 in good fast 
company—i.e., H. C. Hirschy and Dockendorf (profes¬ 
sions) and J. Graham, William Ridley and I. Galbraith 
(amateurs). 
But along comes a dark horse at the 16yd. mark in the 
y r^ hltl f P ersona & e of Dr. F. H. Bailey, of Fargo, 
N. D who, when he stepped to the score to shoot his 
last 20 with a powdered face, a bun in his pocket and a 
repartee upon his lips, was but one bird to the bad. He 
centered his birds well, but slipped two in his last 20 
slick and clean, going out with the high score of 97 out 
of a possible 100. This made him an easy winner at the 
close of the day with some good shots to follow. The 
Doctor s comrades, to show their admiration for his 
coolness and display of skill, made a grand center rush 
and grabbed him, raised him to their shoulders and 
hastily carried him to the club house, where fun ran rife 
for a short time, with the genial doctor as middleman. 
Eleven squads yet remained to shoot on the morrow 
Aug. 13, Fourth Day. 
The weather remained cloudy, with a slight rise in 
temperature. The first squad was called to score at 
9^30 o clock. The remaining eleven squads were run 
off in rapid succession. Some good scores were made 
but not any to jeopardize the position of Dr. Bailey as 
winner. The event closed with the amiable doctor an 
easy winner. The scores follow:
