JAMES R. STICE.
A few years ago an advertisement appeared in all the sportsmen's journals to the effect that the first Parker Hammerless made won the American Field Cup, emblematic of the championship of America. James R. Stice won the cup. He appeared among the galaxy of stars, and as a shooter he was inferior to none. He traveled from ocean to ocean with an aggregation of shooting experts, and when the final result was figured out, James R. Stice stood at the head of the list, for in the days and weeks of successive shooting he held the highest average of all.
Mr. Stice has retired from trap-shooting. In the days when he shot his thirty-four-inch ten-bore gun, there was no one who could beat him either at live birds or at targets. He is now settled at Jacksonville, Ill., and is engaged in a profitable business, participating but seldom in trap-shoots, and then only in the vicinity of his home.
