out of their downy couches to prepare for the finishing 
day of the tournament, and instead of getting better as the 
time went on, it grew decidedly worse. The events were 
nearly all shot in a downpour of rain, which would have 
put any ordinary tournament out of commission. But 
the seasoned veterans who were here only put on their 
own rain coats—or some other man's—and went to it as 
if they loved it. The rain, too seemed to urge them 
to greater promptness than usual, and the first squad 
started the music at exactly 9 o'clock. No stop was made 
at noon, for all were anxious to finish up and get away 
ftom the city. At 12:25 the last squad sheet was run 
through a wringing machine and passed into the office 
window; Squier and Van Nest got down to work, and 
before 1 o’clock the winners were passing in their vouchers 
and getting good money in exchange. All hands left for 
the city on the 2:25 car, with everything cleaned up. The 
high professional for the day, on singles, was Lyon, with 
IPS;, the highest day’s score on any one day of the shoot, 
with the exception of Heer’s straight. German, 196; 
Huff and Spencer 195 each. Koch and Graham led the 
amateurs with 194 each; Nickle 192; Ditto, Mink, and J. 
Young 191 each. On the singles and doubles German 
was high with 240; Lyon, 238; TIufF and Bills, 236 each. 
The amateurs were headed by Graham with 238; Nickle 
234; Koch and Mink 232 each. In the event at doubles 
Keplinger and German were high among the professionals 
with 44 each; Bills, 43; Heer, Maxwell and Crosby, 42 
each. The amateurs had Graham high with 44; Kneussl, 
43; Nickle and Fuller, 42 each. C. H. Ditto made a run 
of 77 and a continuous run of 151; Lyon ran 97 in the last 
four events; C. A. Young made a continuous run of 128, 
getting his first 74 targets this morning. Graham had 
a continuous run of 116, of which 96 were left over from 
Thursday. Clancy started a nice run, but was so un¬ 
fortunate as to miss the first target in the fifth event, 
leaving him with an even century for the day. 
The trophies were presented to the high professional 
and amateur by Mr. J. T. Skelly, who was introduced 
by Elmer Shaner, not that he really needed any intro¬ 
duction, but because that was the real classy thing to do. 
Mr. Skelly was very happy in his few remarks, and was 
warmly applauded at the close. He said, among other 
things, that he thought the trapshooters could support one 
classic event in a season, just as well as. the baseball 
world could, and it had been his endeavor in arranging 
for the Post Series to make it such an event. He be¬ 
lieved that if the event was continued annually that the 
attendance would be larger next year, though he was 
much pleased with the number who had come to the in¬ 
itial tournament. The Association wants to make this 
event an amateur affair. He said he’d always had a 
friendly feeling for the professionals, and he would stick 
to them when the amateur’s interests were not in peril. 
In handing the trophy to Mr. Graham, the amateur 
winner, he said that it was really not for him, but was to 
form a belt buckle for his charming wife, who had been 
a daily attendant at the tournament. When he took the 
professional trophy in his hand, he said that it was use¬ 
less to mention names, the winner was known to all as 
George, and he took great pleasure in handing him the 
emblem of his success. F. G. Bills stepped forward and 
received the trophy, and in response to calls for a 
speech, said that they didn’t care for a speech, but he 
thanked the Association for the trophy, and his brother 
professionals for letting him win it. Mr. Skelly then 
announced that Mr. Tom Marshall had had the audacity 
to challenge a certain party to a match that day, and the 
result was that Uncle Tom would pay for a dinner to 
which all were invited. LTncle Tom failed to respond to 
demands for a speech.

T HIS gun, as are all Dalys, is the result of careful thought, practical knowledge and perfect 
workmanship. 
QUALITY STANDS OUT BOLDLY ON THIS GUN 
This gun embodies all the features of an ideal Trap Gun. The first essential in a trap gun is a Hat 
sighting surface, perfectly aligned. The Ventilated Rib gives this and more—it eliminates heat 
radiation. Other features are the specially designed fore-end, extra heavy breech, and all the fine 
points found in all Daly Guns. THE GUN FOR THE TRAP SHOOTER.
