The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-09-04


shooters must have participated in at
least five previous events, exclusive
of No. 10, from which their average
may be figured. Those having made
80 per cent or over will shoot from
20 yard line, so to 80 per cent, Is yard
line, all under so per cent, Is yard
line.
This shoot is for silver loving cup,
appropriately engraved Of the value of
$4,000. donated by E. e. Bassett, up
to-date jeweler of Wahpeton.
The lucky man to carry away this
prize will have token to be proud of
as long as he lives, and bequeath to
his children when he dies.
Don't forget that the Richlani coun-
ty fair has one of the finest grounds in
the Northwest. and that they will be
filled with interesting exhibits.
The management reserves the right
to withdraw any event which does not
seem to meet with the approval of the
shooters present, or create sufficient
interest to bring in a fair entrance, it
being our purpose to present such fea-
lures as will insure the most inter-
esting and enjoyable time.
We call special attention to our low
gun money, which We have provided
for because We believe the persistent
shooter who has made low scores while
swelling the purses for the high men
should be given some show. To win
something gives him encouragement,
and the high score men are benefited
by bringing him in and getting his en-
trance fee in the purse. where he
would not have participated except
for the chance at low money.
The tournament will be conducted
under Interstate association rules:
except as herin otherwise specified.
All ties will be shot off at five tar
gets. and if tie still continues at end
of five targets the contestants shall
continue to shoot and settle the tie,
miss and out.
The number of birds used in each
event will be charged for and deducted
from the purse before division at the
rate of one cent per bird.
The rule mo bang. no Bird will be
applied unless a shooter persists in
using a gun that is so troublesome
as to delay the program in which case
he will be requested to substitute guns
before counting miss fires.
Additional events may be arranged
for on the grounds if time permits.
Grounds will be staked and marked
for angles within reasonable bounds
and extreme variations will not be al
lowed.
Birds broken from the trap or out
of bounds may be shot at and result
scored.
Don't fail to see the automobile race
on 3rd day of the fair. There are
several very fast machines entered
1t would greatly facilitate matters if
participant would make their entries
for all events before the opening of
the tournament. and this is especially
true of the team shoot, and We would
earnestly request teams, especially, to
make their entries by mail at least two
or three days before the 25th of Sep
TENDER. This can be done by address,
