FOREST AND STREAM 
[July 30, 1910. 
Eastern Handicap. 
The fifth Eastern Handicap of the Interstate Associa¬ 
tion was held under the auspices of the Highland Shoot¬ 
ing Association, at Edge Hill, Pa., July 19, 20, and 21. 
Edge Hill is about thirteen miles front "Philadelphia, on 
the Philadelphia & Reading R. R. 
The weather was pleasant throughout. 
The tournament was run off with all the perfection 
which comes from flawless management. Nevertheless, 
there was much dissatisfaction, since it came nearer to 
being a big practice shoot, for targets only, than to being 
a tournament. A reference to the purses in the Pre¬ 
liminary and Eastern handicaps will explain this point. 
In respect to the number of entries, the tournament 
was not a success. It obviously did not appeal to the 
active interest of the average shooter. There was a 
much smaller support than was anticipated. Many of 
those who did participate were much dissatisfied at the 
small purses, consequent to the large number who shot 
for targets only. 
The grounds are finely equipped for a tournament. 
The five sets of traps worked to perfection. 
The lunch and its service were not scatisfactory, nor 
was the cash price for ice water in the afternoon "of the 
last day accorded frantic-approval. In short, while the 
tournament was well managed, it was not so winsome 
as to promote a come-again feeling. 
The conditions were favorable for high scores, and 
there were high scores accordingly. F. G. Bills, pro¬ 
fessional, made high average for the three days with 576 
out of 600, and thereby won the Hanover cup. This 
included both singles and doubles. Walter Huff was 
second with 573. 
Long runs were as follows: J. A. R. Elliott 147, F. D. 
Kelsey 146, C. Newcomb 123, W. H. Heer 112, Walter 
Huff 103 and 111, Geo. Lyon 104. 
Mr. Shaner, on the last day of the tournament, an¬ 
nounced that in the raffle for the gun of the late Harry 
1. Hess, C. B. Foster, of Buffalo, N. Y., was the win¬ 
ner. He drew No. 696. 
There was a large number of ladies among the specta¬ 
tors, who seemed to enjoy the pleasant weather and 
the competition. Two ladies, Mrs. W. K. Park and Miss 
Anna Rieker, participated in the competition, and made 
the scores of many mere men look very immature. 
The doubles were a sad obstacle to many of the con 
testants. They cut down the averages most discourag- 
ingly. 
In the averages it is a mistake to add doubles and 
singles together. It is technically erroneous to do so, 
and, also of some importance, it lessens the consumption 
of ammunition and targets. Each should be classified 
separately, not only in respect to a tournament, but in 
respect to the averages for the year also. 
The trophies, at the close of the tournament on the last 
day were most graciously presented to the winners by 
A. F. Hebard, the president of the Interstate Associa¬ 
tion. 
July 18 was practice day, commencing at 1 o’clock 
P. M. There were four events of 20 targets and one of 
10 pair, $2 entrance in each event. Rose, system, 8, 5, 3, 
2. Sweepstakes were optional. Walter Huff broke 98 
out of the 100, the two missed being in the doubles. 
C. G. Spencer and C. A. Young scored 97. Huff, Spencer 
and German scored 18 out of 20 in the doubles, which 
was the highest in that event. 
July 19, First Day. 
The program of the first day consisted of ten 20-target 
events, of which No. 8 was at 10 pair. The entrance was 
$2 in each event, $25 added. There were 86 participants, 
of whom 29 were professionals and 57 amateurs. No one 
succeeded in scoring all the doubles, the 19 scored by 
F. G. Bills and C. E. Mink respectively being high in 
that event. Of the professionals; J. A. R. Elliott was 
high in the totals of the day with 195, while C. M. 
Powers was high in the amateur class with 194. Powers 
ran straight in the first four events, SO targets. Elliott 
ran straight in seven events.
