FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July 2, 1910. 
intimated, there are a few who have wonderful retro¬ 
active knowledge. 
Of the long runs, there was a dearth as compared with 
those made at some other tournaments. J. T. Skelly 
ran 91. H. McMurchy 87, W. J. Raup 93, J. R. Graham 
83, while R. Thompson ran 100, which, with 21 more said 
to have been a continuous part of the run, made a total 
of 121. 
Instead of the usual 50-cent dinner, a bakery lunch, 
of excellent quality and abundant quantity was provided 
in a large tent, much to the satisfaction and approval of 
all concerned. 
Several trade tents added to the picturesque features of 
the grounds, and a large tent furnished additional com¬ 
fortable accommodations to the crowd, among which 
were many ladies. 
The total number of targets thrown was 127,620. 
It will be noted that any score under 94 in the Pre¬ 
liminary and Grand American Handicap were not in the 
moneys. This indicates that the 80 per center and the 
philanthropic efforts in his behalf are trailing a long 
way behind the procession. The evolution of the sport 
is now at such a degree that sympathy for the 80 per¬ 
center is largely wasted when the 90 percenter is not in 
the money. What can be done for them? It is not a 
problem for the public to solve, any more than it is to 
solve how a cart horse can be transformed into a racer 
without the proper training or natural abilities. 
Those who broke 94 in the Preliminary Handicap won 
813.15; in the Grand American Handicap, the 94s re¬ 
ceived $6, which shows that a contestant who is not a 
high class performer at 16yds., has no place in such high 
class competition, so far as the material phases of it are 
concerned. 
The trophies were awarded Friday afternoon, after the 
professional championships were concluded, between 1 
and 2 o’clock. Manager Shaner introduced President 
A. _ F. Hebard, though first expressing thanks to the 
Chicago Gun Club and its officers for the excellence ot 
the grounds and the trapping equipment, all of which 
were above criticism. .Mr. Hebard called up the victors 
in turn, and in a felicitous, brief speech of presentation 
he handed each one his prize in turn. Mr. Uering and 
Mr. Spencer responded briefly and feelingly. Mr. Heb 
ard also paid a graceful tribute to perfect efficiency of 
the ground equipment and the efficiency of the Chicago 
Gun Club’s officers. This was the climax of the tourna¬ 
ment and thereafter there was a general exodus home¬ 
ward. 
Monday, June 20 was practice day. There was a pro¬ 
gram of four 20-target events and one event at 10 pair, 
for the forenoon and afternoon respectively, 200 targets 
for the day. Entrance was $2, Rose system, 8, 5, 3, 2. 
W. H. Heer’s score of 98 in the forenoon, and J. R. 
Graham’s 98 in the afternoon were the most noteworthy 
performances. 
June 21, First Day. 
The first program day had five events, four 20-target 
events and one at 10 pair. There were 227 contestants. 
The star performance was that of J. W. Graham, of 
Colorado Springs, who broke 100 straight. 
The mere matter of breaking 100 straight in these 
days of long runs, is so commonplace that it is divested 
of all novelty, but 100 targets, 20 of which are in the form 
of 10 pair, is far from an easy task in the way of a 
clean score. W. H. Heer and H. D. Freeman broke 98 
each, while A. Vance broke 97. Powers, Day. Bills, J. 
R. Taylor, R. W. King and Crosby scored 96. There 
were numerous ties in the next places in numerical order. 
The weather was

June 22, Second Day. 
PRELIMINARY HANDICAP. 
The weather, though hot was ideal for trap shooting. 
There was no wind in the forenoon, and the gentle 
breeze of the afternoon had no effect on the flights of 
the targets. There were sixty-four squads, totaling 317 
entrants, in the Preliminary Handicap. 
W. J. Raup of Portage, Wis., and Charles E. Shaw 
of Chicago tied on 99. In the shoot-off at 20 targets, 
Raup won, 20 to 17. They competed with the steadi¬ 
ness and skill of seasoned veterans, and excited much 
admiration for their excellent performance. C. M. 
Powers, who has been probably closer to winning the 
G. A. H. more times than any other contestant, was 
close up with 98. 
J. H. Skelly of Wilmington, Del., broke his first 80 
straight. He finished with Powers on 98, as did Guy 
Ward of Atlanta, and John R. Tayor of Newark, O. 
J. S. Day and F. C. Burnham tied on 97. There were 
ten 96s, twenty 95s and twenty-five 94s. The 93s were 
not in the money. The handicapping thus was ex 
cellent. Skelly made a run of 91. 
The conditions were 100 targets, $7.00 entrance, handi¬ 
caps 16 to 23 yards, high guns, trophy to the winner 
in addition to first money. Manufacturers’ agents shot 
for targets only. 
The Preliminary Handicap had 318 entries, and the 
purse was made up as follows: 
236 entries at $5 (82 for targets only). .$1180.00
