FOREST AND STREAM. Joo 

Chicago, missing targets in a way that almost broke 
his heart. Maryott and Powers tied at 97 broke, but the 
former was out of the contest, being a professional. The 
latter secured second place. First went to T. A. Graham, 
of Chicago, a shooter who had not made much of a 
showing in the other days, and who was little considered. 
He missed one target in the second event, shooting ’em 
all down straight after that. He was as much surprised 
as were those he defeated, as he declared he had not the 
least idea he could perform such a feat. 
Nearly all the men who take part in these shooting 
tournaments go to the traps in their worst clothes, so 
that the gathering looks as much like an annual con- 
vention of hoboes as of crack men in the first sport of 
the day. Mr. Graham was a typical man of the traps, 
and might have come in off the road in the very gar- 
ments used on “blind baggages’’ or wayside freights. 
His success did not turn his head in the least, and he 
spent the balance of the day in jesting with his friends. 
Mr. Graham broke 99 targets.- C. M. Powers broke 97, 
and was second. There was quite a school in the next 
places. After figuring out the results, Marshall Sharp, in 
the office, announced that those making 93 and better 
would be in the distribution of the money. 
A peculiar thing about the handicap was the number 
of shooters who met their Waterloo in the second event. 
Many a good marksman, whose chances in the handicap 
were thought to be equal to those of any’ other of the 
entries, fell by the wayside here. Good marksmen missed 
four and five birds of the 20, 
When the tournament had closed and accounts had 
been cast up—and it may be mentioned that all shooters 
received their money within a half hour after the last 
shot had been fired—Secretary Elmer E. Shaner, of the 
Interstate Association, declared that he had never at- 
tended a tournament where the shooting had been better 
than at Denver. “Tf my memory serves me right,’ he 
said, “‘the average here is higher than at any other I 
ever attended, That, together with the fine weather and 
the splendid treatment accorded by the people of Denver 
and the officers of the Denver Trap Club, have made 
this a most delightful affair.’’ 
For general average among the amateurs, J. M. Hughes 
was high with 389 out of 400 shot at; H. R. Bonser was 
second with 387 and C. M. Powers in third place with 
386. 
For general average among the professionals, W. H. 
Heer was first with 388; L. R. Barkley, H. D. Freeman 

and Ed. O’Brien were a tie for second with 386, and 
Fred Gilbert was in third place with 384,
