shooting tournament to be held under the auspices of 
Jlig Game Ride, Rod and Gun Club opened Oct. 3 at 
11:30 o’clock, on the club’s spacious grounds, with

the tri-State district present. Just thirty-three shooters 
took part, and the club is highly elated over the de¬ 
cided success of its first tournament. 
E. O. Bovver, a crack amateur shooter, of Sistersville, 
carried off first honors at the shoot to-day, he breaking 
95 out of 100. His fine marksmanship won for him a 
silver loving cup, valued at .$50. which was donated 
by the Wheeling Business Men’s Protective Association, 
while T. H. Funk, of this city, who finished second with 
a score of 94. received a fine rocking chair valued at $15. 
The 100 targets were shot in strings of twenty, and 
all of the ties were decided by lot. Quite a number of 
the shooters tied, but every one felt satisfied with /the 
results.

The last five shooters are professionals, and as only 
amateurs were eligible to participate in the match to-day, 
their scores are not counted. 
Second Day, Oct. 4. 
The second day was marked by some exceptionally 
fine shooting. Of particular interest was the shoot for 
tile handsome Ithaca $70 gun and the professional shoot¬ 
ing for the YY heeling Board of Trade loving cup. The 
former was won by George -Marker, of Brownsville, Pa., 
after one of the most exciting contests ever witnessed 
on any range. The latter was won by J. W. Hawkins. 
The amateur records were equally as good as those 
of the day previous, some of the younger men showing 
up exceptionally well. The main interest, however, in 
this contest centered in the 40-bird event for the Ithaca 
gun prize. This consisted of two events of 20 birds 
each, and when they were concluded it was found that 
C. F. Moore and George Marker, of Brownsville Pa.; 
John Knapp, of Huntington, and T. G. Goll, of Martins 
Ferry, were tied, each having 39 out of the 40 birds. 
A string of 20 birds was then shot to determine the 
result of the tie and it finished up with Marker and 
Goll having 20 each and Knapp and Moore 19 each. 
Marker and Goll then shot another string of 20 birds, 
and Marker secured 19 and Goll 18, the former winning 
the gun by the margin of one bird. This contest was 
so close and the marksmanship of the four competing 
men so good, that it created intense excitement, and 
when the winner was finally declared, the result was re¬ 
ceived with cheers, and Mr. Marker was the recipient 
of many congratulations. 
The professional shooting for the board of trade lov¬ 
ing cup embraced the total number of targets made dur¬ 
ing the entire tournament, the numerous events mak- 
ing a grand total of 300 birds. After finishing up the 
events of to-day it was found that J. W. Hawkins was 
the winner of the cup with a total score of 273; D. Yv 
Goshorn, came second with a total of 271; J. G. Gar- 
> a T nd totaled 270; L. J. Squier totaled 270, and Edward 
H. Taylor got 2G9. 
The tournament was a success in every particular, and 
the management of the club feels very much gratified 
over the manner in which the tournament was carried 
out. Phe success of this, the club’s first venture in the 
tournament line, will mean a much larger and better 
one next year. All those who participated in the event 
were much pleased with its success and all promised to 
return next year. 
After the tournament was over the winners of the 
various prizes came into the city and secured their 
trophies at the Friederich’s store, and those from out 
°’ Jhe city left for their homes in the evening.

WINCHESTER 
.401 CALIBER 
Model 1910 Self-Loading - Rifle 
• . 
This repeater, which is the latest Winchester product, 
has speed and power plus. It’s speedy because, being 
reloaded by the recoil of the fired cartridge, it can be shot 
as fast as the trigger can be pulled. It’s powerful because " 
it handles a cartridge of the most modern type — one that 
strikes a blow of 2038 foot pounds. The knock-down, 
shocking power of this cartridge, with its heavy bullet of 
large diameter, driven with high velocity, is tremendous; 
and the combination cf such power with the rapidity of 
fire which this rifle is capable cf, makes it unusually 
desirable for hunting the biggest of big game. There 
is no rifle made which will deliver five as powerful 
blows in as few seconds as the Winchester Model 1910. 
Ask your dealer to show you one, or 
send for circular fully describing this ride.

The Fred Macaulay Business Men's Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J. — Parkin, Waddell, Hehir and Clark all 
took part at the shoot of the Macaulay Gun Club. 
Jackie Clarke, the clever little Australian cyclist, and 
Cy. Parkin, twirler on the staff of the Newark Eastern 
League baseball team, shot a 25 bird match for the 
championship of South Dakota and Australia, at the 
traps of and in connection with the weekly shoot of the 
I'red Macaulay Gun Club, Tuesday afternoon. Parkin 
finally annexed the title after breaking 11 clay pigeons 
out of the possible 25. Clarke managed to bring down 9 
birds. The match was a hilarious scream from the begin¬ 
ning to the end. Rube YY’addell, another Newark 
pitcher, and Jack Frill, twirler for Jersey City, were root¬ 
ing for Parkin to win, while Paddy Hehir and Alf Gou- 
lette, other Australian cyclists, were pulling might and 
main for Jackie to beat his man. Both marksmen missed 
so many birds that when either one or the other broke 
a target there was a celebration. 
Paddy Hehir did some clever shooting, considering that 
he hasn't done anything in that line since he left his
