While the echoes of the Grand American Handicap may have died away, Parker Bros, want to call the attention of the shooting fraternity to the performance of Mr. John A Flick, of Ravenna, O.. a one-armed shooter, who scored with the Parker gun, 97 out of a possible 100 at this famous shoot. The Parker gun also won the World's Team Race with a total of 474 out of 500, and four Parkers out of five shooters in this event. The consolation handicap was also won with the Parker gun in the hands of Mr. J. T. Atkinson. tieing on 99, and shooting out his opponent.
At Waynesboro, Va., on July- 4. Mr. C. H. Newcomb, of Philadelphia, strictly an amateur, won high amateur average, and at Richmond, Va., Decoration Day, also won high amateur average.
At New London, la., the three handicap events held during their last tournament were all won with the Parker gun. Barto, of Chicago, and Gilbert and Garrett all tied on 50 straight, Barto breaking 100 straight to win the event. The second day handicap was won by John Burrneister, with 50 straight, and the third day handicap was won by Fred Gilbert with 50 straight. All of the handicap events were won with the old reliable Parker, in the hands of amateurs in two cases. In three days shooting the old reliable Parker made scores of 200 straight, which is a remarkable performance and proves conclusively the reliability and effectiveness of the famous "Old Reliable."
