WONDERFUL SHOOTING AT GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP.

Giving phenomenal exhibitions of shooting, Frank Troeh, of Vancouver, and Bart Lewis, of Auburn, 111., Tuesday won the national amateur and professional trapshooting charo- ’ pionships, respectively. These contents were the feature events of the second day’s meeting in the Grand American handicap tournament. Not onily dad Troeh and Lewis win their events handily but they turned in perfect scores of 200 each, which are new world’s records for shooting at this number of targets from the eighteen-yard rise. Frank Peck, of Remington, was entered in the opening day shoot and turned in a score of 97 out of a possible 100, which is ordinarily enough, to win a place in the money. Remarkable shooting on the part of his opponents, however, placed him otftside the money wheel. Dr. Robinson, another Remingtonian, will be in one of the tournaments this week. Peck and Robinson are recognized as two of the leading trapshooters of the county.
