The big merchandise event shot for on Friday after- 
noon, May 11, proved very interesting, as shooting off 
the ties held the attention of all spectators. The first five 
prizes were won in the following order: First, Dupont 
silver cup, R. Stanley Rhoads, Columbus; second, Parker 
Bros. cigar chest, Mr. Weidebush, Fairmont, W. Va.; 
‘third, freld glasses, Mr. Blakesley, Cleveland, O.; fourth, 
Marlin “Baby” rifle, McConnell, Osburn, O.; fifth, poin- 
jter dog oil painting, Mr. Chamberlain, Columbus, O. 
The three days’ tournament was preceded by the inner- 
state team race on Tuesday, May 8, and a rough line of 
weather came in with Dayton and Cincinnati, and re- 
mained over Wednesday. Thursday and Friday were 
both very nice days, except a high wind Thursday. The 
rough weather the first part of the week kept a great 
number of shooters away. 
The verdict of all present was that Columbus has the 
finest grounds and club house in the country, and is 
entitled to hold the Grand American, State shoot, or 
any big meeting, because the facilities are here. 
Hurrah for Pop Heikes! He is still the best old boy 
ever, and the work he did here was great—no trouble 
4 all—only asked for a screw-driver once in the four 
ays. 
Stanley Rhoads? Well, Stanley always does something, 
and he did this time—first high amateur and the Dupont 
cup. 
Tryon, of Cleveland, shot a fine clip, but lost the 
first high amateur average by a narrow margin, 
Barnet was right up among them and got a Bristol 
rod on the merchandise. 
John Keefe, of Newark, kept up the fine reputation 
of that city for shooters, and now he is going fishing. 
Good luck, John. 
McConnell, of Osburn, O., came out fifth high amateur, 
and made a hit with all the boys; and he won the Baby 
Marlin Repeater, and there will be no sparrows in 
Osburne now. 
Johnny Taylor was second high professional average, 
and his company have a very popular representative in 
Mr. Taylor, and a good shot. 
Mr. C. O. Le Compte was here. That’s all that it is 
necessary to say. The boys all know him. 
Ralph Trimble, of Covington, came up with the Cin- 
cinnati boys and gets the fourth high professional aver- 
age, and helped jolly the boys through the cold spell. 
Mr. D. D. Gross was on hand when the flag raising 
began, and came in for fifth high professional average. 
Dell has many friends among the shooters. 
Mr. Wiedebush and Mr. Siller, from Fairmont, W. Va., 
were with us through the shoot. Mr. Wiedebush tied 
Mr. Rhoads for the Dupont cup and lost in the shoot- 
off. Mr. Wiedebush was in for sixth high amateur. 
Harry E. Smith, Columbus, was high gun on Wednes- 
day, the first day, breaking 190 out of a possible 200, 
but did not do so well the two days following, pulling 
out seventh high amateur. 
Fred Harlow, of Newark, was shooting along with 
the bunch and landed eighth high amateur. 
Mr. Doolittle, from Cleveland, seemed to enjoy him- 
self, and finished ninth high amateur. 
Mr. Schaefer, of McConnelsville, O., landed tenth high 
oes he and his brother were up during the entire 
shoot. 
Frank Alkire, from Williamsport, 
Frank, and jolly as ever. 
Jess Orr, from Linville, was after them. 
O., was the same 
Mr. Geo. Burns, of Cleveland, came down with the 
Cleveland Boys, and shot through. Mr. Burns was high 
gun amateur on his last visit to Columbus. 
Billy Webster, of Columbus, shot well with the new 
gun. 
Jack, of Cleveland, was having a good time. 
Chamberlain, of Columbus, enjoyed the 
through, 
H. Smith, of Columbus, dropped his old gun and 
tried a new one and from that time on did fine work. 
Ed. Rike said he has a notion to stay here all summer 
and smoke that famous corn cob pipe on the big porch 
paul hear the birds sing. Ed. has an eye for the beauti- 
ul. 
Mr. Decker, from Marietta, O., was a welcome visitor, 
and we trust he had a good time and will come again. 
Lee Bottenfield, the old reliable from Centerbury, was 
here. Lee gives a shoot on the 22d, and all the boys are 
going. They always have a good time at Centerbury. 
W. H. Moore, a most congenial shooter from Crooks- 
lise was present, and we will look for him in Septem- 
er. 
Harry Carr says he is coming back soon as he can 
after the State shoot. 
Dr. Shattuck, of Cool Grove, Ohio, favored us with 
his presence, and the shooters all enjoyed meeting such 
a devoted sportsman. Dr. Shattuck, though well along 
in years, is young in the good sport that gives healthful 
exercise to all. 
Franklin, from Portsmouth, came off without Fred, and 
we can’t understand how he did it. Franklin, we are 
hoping that we will have you with us often. 
Pickaway, from Pickaway, picked up a new gun here 
and surprised himself, too, and he did not make the 
change on first day. 
Our old friend Clark, from New Paris, bobbed in and 
busted 361 out of 400. and bobbed out; said he did not 
want to beat Stan. Rhoads out of high amateur. Bill is 
all right. 
Fred King. of Newark, has a fine chance for a high 
gun, but was called away. Fred generally breaks his 
share. 
Woodcock, with the new gun, did fine. 
Arthur Gambell, Pohlar and the Cincinnati boys left 
Wednesday afternoon. The snowstorm was hard to face. 
We will try and have better weather next time. 
Jenning, of Byhalia, O., is still poorly, not being able 
to shoot much. Hope this nice weather will change him, 
J. T. Wells. C. S. Wells, Fishinger and Boernick, 
from Hilliards, O., were down for recreation. 
Weinman has not got used to his new gun. 
Dr. Mills, Mr. Vance, Stout, Jameson and Morrison 
were up in the snowstorm Wednesday. We are coming 
to Chillicothe on the 23d and 24th. Come back again, 
bovs. 
Willie Hunt, from Heoron, O., is a coming shooter. 
George Volk, of Toledo, was here, and sorry he did not 
stay longer.
