Nitro Handicap.

NEW YORK, April S.-Most of the prom
inent shooters who will take part in the
Grand American handicap at live birds.
which will begin tomorrow morning. were
at Interstate Park. Long island. to-day.
where they had chance Of testing their
capabilities and probable possibilities for
the blue-ribbon event in the Nitro handi-
cap. The conditions of the handicap are
similar to those governing the big event.
and the handicap claimed for those entered
for the Grand American was maintained in
to-day's shoot There was larger attend
ance than on yesterday, the opening day,
and eight additional entries were received
for the big event.
From early morning up to 10 o'clock the
trap shooters arrived at the grounds in
squads of tens and twenties, and by l
o'clock fifteen of them were paying admis-
sion fees for the Nitro handicap. 1t was
not until nearly noon that the entry list
was closed. and at that hour there were
exactly 1853 entries, among whom were Mrs.
s. s. Johnston, of Cincinnati, and Miss An
ME Oakley, of Nutley, N. j. At the end of
the handicap only sixteen of the contest
ants were left standing with clean scores
OF sixteen kills each. Thirty-eight of the
remainder were tied with fifteen kills each.
and, while their more fortunate brothers
received $3.50 apiece, each of the thirty
eight got only 1910. or about one-third of
their entry money of so. Mrs. S. S. john
ston killed fifteen out of possible sixteen,
and Miss Annie Oakley, who was conceding
one yard to the Ohio woman, grassed thir-
teen. Miss Oakley's first bird died out of
bounds, but she missed her fifth and four
teenth, thus making three misses out of
her sixteen chances. Mrs. Johnston shot
from the twenty-five-yard mark. while
Miss Oakley had a twenty-six-yard handi-
cap.
The Western contingent showed UP to
good advantage in to-day's shoot, as eight
of sixteen who killed straights represented
