The tournament was booked for Eve
days, and figuring each shooter at
81 day for lodging and meals, ST.
600 is spent for hotel bills.
A fair average OF the amount
spent by each for railroad fare Is
s25. making a total OF sl7.500 for
transportation. Shells cost $50 per
thousand. and it was estimated 400,
900 would be used during the tour
nament, making $4,000 for ammu-

The entry fee for a shooter going
into every event is $50, but the av-

total for 900 shooters TO $4,000.
