The championship resulted in a tie between Buck- 
valter, Bilsing, McCarty and F. Korner, on 49. It was 
i close competition, and was watched with the keenest 
jf interest trom start to finish. In the first shoot-off 
Uuckwaltcr and McCarty tied on 24. 
Mr. Korner missed five and Mr. Bilsing missed two 
argets. The latter had participated in a long drawn 
rnt series of shoot-offs in other events, and was showing 
i slight fatigue, which may have been the cause of his 
nishap. lie was shooting in admirable form, his time 
being quick and his pointing being near to perfection. 
The light was even and dull at this juncture, the sky 
jeing slightly overcast, with signs of rain in evidence. 
The dull light neutralized all the far distance and the 
uneveness of mountain and valley in the background, so 
hat the targets flew sharply distinct from the start to 
he end of their flights, which, as a rule, were short, 
he contestants in the tie shooting with marvelous quick- 
less and precision. In the second shoot-off, 25 targets, 
McCarty and Buckwalter tied on 24. They rjn their 
25 straight in the third shoot-off, though a slight rain 
.vas falling. Both were warmly congratulated for their 
nasterful performance. The fourth shoot-off determined 
the winner, Bulkwalter going straight and McCarty 
osing one—thus Buckwalter won. Of the hearty con- 
jratulations extended to the winner, by the shooters 
iresenC none were more hearty and gracious than those 
if McCarty. There was nothing perfunctory or jiffected 
n his manner while congratulating the victor. Although 
ae had put up a wonderful contest, and was keenly en¬ 
deavoring for the trophy from start to finish, the winner 
being determined, he showed not the slightest sign of 
disappointment. Indeed, the shoot-off was one of the 
ir.est exhibitions of good shooting and good sportsman¬ 
ship that ever was witnessed at any time or place. Each 
contestant attended strictly to his own affairs, each had 
a courteous bearing, and each displayed wonderful skill 
find endurance. In the last 25, Buckwalter seemed to 
shoot in a bit quicker time than he had shot previously, 
with no preliminary attempts of careful gun adjustment 
and alignment. Indeed, he seemed to gain greater con¬ 
fidence, and shot with a quickness and freedom which 
seemed to be almost careless of consequences. Yet it 
was not careless shooting in the least, as the results 
prove. Nearly every target was fully centered and 
effaced in a puff of dust. In the last 25 McCarty, though 
ne was shooting in quick time and centering his targets, 
betimes showed over carefulness in aligning and adjust¬ 
ing his gun before calling “pull,” an almost certain 
bign that the strain w'as asserting itself. However great 
as have been the performances of these two shooters 
in the past, they are to be reckoned with in the future 
is being the peer of America’s best performers at the 
traps. 
The J. O’H. Denny trophy was won by Dr. Rishel, 
M Ottawa, Pa., after shooting out eighteen other shooters 
n the tie. 
The high amateur averages for the three days were 
is follows: McCarty, 490; Bilsing, 475; Buckwalter, 4S5; 
Z. F. Moore, 474; Wertz, 482; Conneely, 471; Hess, 478. 
Re Programme Advertising. 
Boston, Mass., May 16. —Editor Forest and Stream: I 
would like to inquire what you think of this proposition: 
t'ou think of this proposition: 
The programme for our last tournament was in book 
orm, and consisted of 36 pages and cover, for which we 
taid the printer $62. We received from friends and the 
rade about $130 for advertising. We gave in prizes $100 
cash, and trophies valued at about $30. 
Now, do you suppose the trade, instead of advertising 
n this way, would be willing to donate, say, $3 to $5 
:ach, and have them all on one page, thus: 
Donations for our shoot: Winchester Repeating Arms 
-o., $5; Marlin Fire Arms Co., $5; Du Pont Powder Co., 
>5; Peters Cartridge Co., $5; M. Hartley Co., $5; member, 
w, etc. 
In this way we could have a programme printed for 
ibout $6 or $8, and give nearly all to the shooter and 
tot to the printer as premiums. Personally, 1 don’t 
hink this kind of advertising does any one any good. 
1 think their names mentioned as above would do them 
is much good as if they took a whole page each.

THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
A 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing, 
tournament casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates not at all. 
He tells “the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes re¬ 
sults certain. All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; to 
tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament fly-rods. 
Complete specifications of well known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indispen¬ 
sable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain every 
feature of the text. Postpaid, $i.
