Meanwhile the ladies at the regular 200
yard range were, with rest, steadily firing
at the targets. Most of the ladies were
dressed with all the dainty attention to
the calls of fashion that style demands,
andiit sometimes was amusing to see big
shoulder sleeve hide the sight of the gun
while the owner laid soft warm cheek
against the cold butt of rifle and subse-
quently screamed because there was re-
port after she pulled the trigger.

The battle between Adolph Strecker and
William Garmes was the long fight of the
day, and the one that kept the enthusiasts
watching the targets. With one shot fired
by mistake into the ground Strecker
made an average of over twenty-five.
Garmes, against whom he was shooting,
failed to meet the demands of the match,
because he failed to make standing fight.
The shoot was 100 shots, $40 q side, 25OC
possible, 200 yards range, and the score at
the finish stood: Strecker 2196, Garmes
1874. The handicap given by Strecker to
Garmes was 800 rings, and even with these
odds Strecker won easily.
