Thanks Chris.
Fred was an unknown when he won the first DuPont Grand Smokeless Championship Handicap Live-bird Tournament in 1895, and used a Smith. He took delivery of a Parker BH in 1896, but didn't use it in competition until after the 1899 GAH.
Parker shooters at the DuPont tournament in 1895 were:
Wm. Wagner, D.M. Porterfield, Budd, Woodruff, "Wellington", W.B. Cockney, D. Heiskell, J. Esterley, and H.S. Coldren

Here's an earlier image of Budd with his Smith
I don't recall any of the 'Top Guns' with a beard
