THE MINNEAPOLIS TOURNAMENT. 



MINNEAPOLIS, May 23.— The weather was not propitious to- 

 day for any kind of outside sport , but that fact did not hinder 

 the lovers of gun shooting from assembling on the Bloomingdale 

 avenue grounds to attend the fifth annual tournament of the

 fitted up in the best possible manner, with a grand stand, booth, 

 judges' and scorers 1 stand. The first shoot was to have occurred 

 at 9 o'clock, hut the rain was pouring down at that hour, so that 

 it had to be postponed until an hour later. By that time nearly 100 

 marksmen, representing cities in this State, Iowa. Dakota and 

 Wisconsin, were on hand. About 50 were present from different 

 ! daces outside the city. Four traps were constantly in motion

May iih— The second day of the Gun club tournament opened 

 under auspicious circumstances yesterday morning, inasmuch as 

 Old Sol deigned to smile at intervals through the overhanging 

 clouds and mist. There was a large attendance also, and the 

 grounds resembled somewhat those of a fair. The field outside 

 the traps and near the marksmen's stand was literally covered 

 with exploded shells and broken birds. The distance flags, which 

 were at first of a crimson color, seemed dyed a darker and gorier 

 hue on the second day, which proved a regular Waterloo for 

 Peoria blackbirds. All of the marksmen present were in excel- 

 lent spirits over the result of ..their performances the day before, 

 and the way the scores of the two first shoots in the forenoon 

 loomed up showed that they could even excel in what they had 

 accomplished. There was nothing stronger than coffee and 

 river water to drink on the grounds, and one gentleman re- 

 marked that he had never seen such a crowd of temperance 

 folks before, as there was not even a bottle of any kind of con- 

 versation liquid to be found anywhere. The scores of the two 

 morning shoots were as follows: 



Ten singles: Vallie 9, Skinner 10, J. G. Smith 7, Hanson 10, 

 Ensign 9, Marshall 5, Rain 6, Turner 6, Blodgett 3, Cooper 7,

THE WALKING MATCH. — The Philadelphia Item says of our 

 crediting Mr, J. E. Bloom with originating the walking match: 

 "Our esteemed contemporary is in error. The idea of a walking 

 match was first introduced by Mr. Chas. A. Bragg, formerly 

 manager of the Globe Shot Co., at a tournament given under his 

 management. Mr. Bragg submitted this idea originally to the 

 gun editor of the Item, who approved of it."
