Spirit Lake, lowa, Jan. 8, 1902
A fine race was witnessed here to-day between Fred Gilbert and John Burmeister, both of this place. It was a friendly match, in which Gilbert tried a new 32-inch Parker gun. He made a fine score, breaking 99 out of 100, losing his tenth target. After the finish of the match he shot at ten more targets and broke them, making a record of 100 straight.
The targets were thrown 55 yards. Gilbert’s load was 3 1/4 drams DuPont smokeless, 1 1/4 oz. No. 7 1/2 Tatham’s chilled shot, in Winchester Leader shells.
