shooters did not seem to mind it. Nearly
all of the crack shots of the country were
present at this shoot and the majority
of them went to the gun club grounds
early in the day to enter the first event on
the programme. A large number of the
visitors have participated in tournaments
at the Limited Gun Club grounds in this
city before and they said they felt at home
when they came here.
The shooters entered into the amusement
in earnest and six regular events were shot
off before rest was taken. All Of the
events of yesterday were at clay targets.
Fred Gilbert made the best showing for
the day. In the first 100 birds he shot
at he only missed three targets and dur
ing the day he made eight clean scores
in the regular events and one clean score
in the extra events. The programme con-
sisted of twelve regular events. varying
from ten to twenty targets each, and there
were two extra events shot off, Several of
the other visitors made good scores dur
ing the day.
