was won by J R. Graham, of the Chi

Remington-UMC pump gun and Rem

down 96 birds out of a possible 100.
Mr. Graham also made the best indi
vidual score in the team competition.
In an interview after the competition
Mr. Graham attributed a great portion
of his success to the easy’ action and
reliability of the arm used and to the
speed and accuracy of the American
made ammunition.
Another Yankee marksman, A. P.
Lane, was prominent in the cablegrams
as the maker of a new world's record
in the revolver and pistol competitions.
