The Nebraska State Shoot at Omaha. 
The twentieth annual tournament of the Nebraska State Sports- 
men's Association, that was brought to a close on April 24, was a suo- 
cess that its promoters, Messrs, Loomis, Read and Parnialee, may well 
be proud of. Compared with other tournaments of this Association, 
1 feel safe in saying that it is the best it has ever held. 
With such a trio for its managers, the shooters of the State natu- 
rally felt that they were under obligations to attend, and did so in 
large numbers, as a perusal of the list that is given below will show. 
Ami shooters did not come only from within the conflues of the State 
of Nebraska. There was the Utah delegation that came all the way 
from Ogden, headed by J. M. Browning, one of the inventors and 
patentees of the Winchester repeating shotgun and rifle. From 
Joplin, Mo , came Sergeant, Kinmouth and Wilson. Leavenworth, 
Kan., sent J. W. Sexton, who is now shooting in something like his 
old form. Others from outside the State werer B. O. Running and 
Airy Lou Hardt, Atchison, Kan.; F. L. Cotterill, Milo,la.; E. A. Leach, 
Tripps, S. D. ; Wm. Mitchell, Perry, la, ; J. M. Higgins and E. D. Trot- 
ter, Kingsley, la,; George Peterson, Coon Rapids, la.; A. Miller, New 
Boston, 111..; W. B. Spears, Morrison, III.; I. W. Budd, Pemberton, N. 
J., shooting under the name of Dukes; I. M. Crabill, from Iowa; P. G. 
Hitch, Fort Madison, la.; J. Schuff, Davenport, la.; Charlie Grimm, 
Clear Lake, la.; C. W. Budd, Des Moines, la.; R. R. Merrill, Milwau- 
kee, Wis.; Tom Marshall, Mayor of Keithsburu, III.; Charles Young, 
Springfield, O.; J. P. Easton, Monroeville, O.; G. M. Walden, of 
Kansas City, president of the Missouri Game and Fish Protective As- 
sociation, etc. 
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE, 
The list of shooters hailing from Nebraska was naturally a large 
one. Among the number were: C. D. Linderman, of Adams; T. A. 
Weatherhead, Malvern; A. D. McCandless, Wyncore; F. Miller, Ber- 
wyn; E. W. Hamilton, Pawlet; A. Loerke, Stanton; W. S. Duer, 
Hastings; J. B. Smith, South Omaha, a colored representative; G. A. 
Schroeder, Columbus; W. T. Den, Brownville, to "whom all of us 
raise our hats, as he is the oldest man on the circuit, having com- 
menced shooting in 1858, and it is he who first taught Rolla Heikes 
how to shoot; Wm. McCraith, South Omaha; Dr. J. B. Hungate, 
Weeping Water; R. M. Welch, Lincoln; A. A. Glade, Grand Island; A. 
B. Robertson, Scribner; J. W. Den, Arapahoe; J. C. Hilbery, Beaver 
Crossing; Tom Clyde and Geo.. W. Rogers, Lincoln; C. E, Latshaw, 
the banjo artist, and Ted Ackerman, Stanton. 
AMONG THE PROFESSIONALS 
were: R. O. Heikes and J. A. R. Elliott, representing the Winchester 
Repeating Arms Co. ; T. H. Keller, of Plainfleld, N. J., the representa- 
ative of the United States Cartridge Co.; Milt Lindsley and Wanda, 
now of Cincinnati, O., expounding the merits of King's Smokeless and 
Peters's reinforced shells; Jack Parker, of Detroit, Mich., who repre- 
sents the Cleveland Target Co. and the E. 0. Powder Co. ; Dan Tucker, 
of Meriden, Conn., of the Parker Bros. Gun Co., of that city (Tucker 
had the satisfaction of seeing one of the guns he represents carry off 
the honors in the State live-bird championship contest) ; Col. A. G. 
Courtney, of Syracuse, N. Y., telling us all the merits of the new Le- 
f ever ejector; and last, but by no means least, Fred Gilbert and his 
chokebore voice, from Spirit Lake, la., giving an object lesson in kill- 
ing live birds and Bnufiing out targets with Du Pont's Smokeless. 
GROUNDS IN IOWA. 
The club's grounds are very accessible indeed, being only eight 
minutes' ride by electric cars that pasB the door of the Paxton Hotel, 
the cars crossing the river and landing shooters right at the gates of 
the grounds, which are located in Iowa. The inclosure is seven acres 
in extent, and the arrangement of the grounds was a surprise to all 
the visitors. In every respect they are as up-to-date as any in the 
States. In front of the club house are placed two sets of empire 
traps, wire pulls, with a board walk extending the entire length of the 
two sets and stretching back to the club house. At the upper end of 
the grounds are the live-bird traps, King's latest. Over the scores for 
the target traps awnings can be raised or taken down at will, as occa- 
sion demands. The background is very good, except that perhaps 
the ridge to the left of Nos. 1 and 2 in the lower set of traps may be 
deceiving. The flight of the targets themselves was very erratic; 
some high, some low, some fast and some slow. They kept fooling 
the boys all the time, and to this erratic behavior of the targets may 
be attributed several of the comparatively low averages. The cater- 
ing of Mr. Randlett, of Council Bluffs, la., calls for special mention. 
The programme is explained by the scores in the tables given be- 
low. The club added $30 to every purse in the 20-target races. On 
the fourth day there were only four 20-target races on the programme; 
the balance was made up of special events referred to in connection 
with the scores. The Association added $40 to the purse in the live- 
bird championship contest, and $30 to each purse in the team race 
contests. 
AVERAGE MONEYS. 
There were 12 cash prizes for average moneys: $20, $18, $16, $16, $14, 
$14. $12, $12, $10, $10, $9, $9. These were divided as in class shooting; 
thus Marshall and Trotter, who broke more targets than Elliott, split 
up $10, while Elliott took a $10 bill for his Bhare. The destination 
i f the other average moneys can be gleaned from a perusal of the 
table of general averages. The tables of scores tell the rest of the 
story: 
SCORES OF THE FIRST DAY, APRIL 21. 
There were just 71 shooters who took part in to-day's events, the 
eatries varying from 54 to 34. In addition to the 68 whose names ap- 
pear in the table given below, Edwards shot in No. 8 and broke 10. 
Brewer and Welch also shot in No. 9, the handicap event; the former 
scored 43 and had 4 added to his score, making his total 47. Welch 
scored 32 and had 7 added to his total. The number that appears in 
ttie column after Event No. 9 is the number added to the shooter's 
score. Trotter won first prize with 44 breaks and 4 added— total 48. 
Gilbert made the best score of the scratch men, scoring 47 out of 50.
