MASON SHOOTS
IN GREAT FORM

The opening of Shell Mound Park for
the season yesterday was the most sue
cessful ever held at this popular place
Of amusement. The rife ranges were
crowded with marksmen from morning
until night. Captain L. Siebe had pre-
pared an attractive programme for the
shooters and they took advantage of
the fine day and the steady light to
roll UP some excellent scores.
The gardens were crowded with.
merrymakers. some 5000 strong, and
spent an enjoyable day under the trees
and in the, shady hooks with which the
gardens abound, listening to the con-
cert provided for their entertainment
and taking part in the dancing in the
large. payilions.
In the open Shell Mound competition
shoot F. E. Mason and Alfred c.. Gehret
did some wonderful shooting. In the
early part of the afternoon Gehret
scored 95 rings out of a possible 100.
This score stood for some time and the
marksmen who were participating be-
lieyed ii would carry off the honorS of
the day. When Frank E. Mason settled
down to hard work with 92 as a starter
and commenced TO show the best of
form the excitement on the range be-
came intense. When he finally closed
a supreme effort and left the firing box
with SO rings to his credit he was con-
graduated on all sides by his comrades.
The shooting done by Mason is the best
accomplished in many years. To show
in what good form he did his work his
nine tickets were SO, 92 81, 81, go co. 80,
80 and 80. He also carried off the prize
for scoring the most twenty-fives Z
Al c. Gehret deserves credit for
the manner in which he rolled up his
good scores. On account of illness 1t
is the first time the champion has ap-
peared on the range in five months. His
six scores were 95, 92, 81, 81, go, 80.
A pleasing feature of the opening of
the contest was when the centennial
champion, Philo Jacoby, stepped into
the box to start the festival. At the
crack of his rifle the scorer waved the
red flag, showing center had been
made; thus the successful opening
shoot of the year was auspiciously in
augurated: The scores:
