Third Day, March 19. 
The shooting continued under the most favorable circumstances on 
Wednesday, and entries were numerous at both the tarpet and 
pie;eon traps At both of these Gilbert is still showing the same form 
which characterized his work since the start. His lotal to-day was 
nearly a duulicate of yesterday, 11 losses in the target events and a 
straight score on live birds. In the van to-day will be seen Running, 
Heites and Gilbert, with 93.1. Heikes ia ihere by virtue of his 
great finish, 59 out of his last (50, and the last 4i of them 
straight. This being the best consecutive run of the day. Budd 
and Glover are tbe only other two who reached 90 per cent , 
tbough McMurchy was only 1 break short of thi=i. Toe lucky 
ones to-day were Weston, Heikes, Gilbert and Parmelee, each cap- 
turing first alone without a tie; \V«ston in No. 1, Heikes in No, 3, 
Gilbert in No. 5 and Parmelee m No. 6. For the first 4 events the 
money was divided oa a basis of five equal moneys, but after 
hat it was changed to thf> old 30, 2,i, 20, 15 and 10 syiStem. The man- 
agement having become thoroughly convinced ihat a system that in 
so rotten, and which encouraged crooked shooting, was not the kind 
to maintain at so high a class tournament. Six<eens mvariably pail 
better than 17 and IS, and some of the foxy shooters were not long in 
iiscertaining thi^ fact, and doubtless this was responsible for the row 
of goose eggs at the end of some of the scores; though when we 
found them, the total invariably was 16. Seventy shooters partici- 
pated in the regular target programme events, but sixty are only 
shown in the table below. This is a trifle more than on the first day, 
though the number that shot through is not quite as large, thirty -four 
being the number of these. The tollowing shot in but one event: 
North, N. Jarrett, Glasner, Bochner, Legg, Coyle, fligdon, Sobott, 
Uonnor and J Stevenson. The programme consisted of eight 20-tar- 
get events, which appear below:

SPBCIAT. EVENT STAR TROPHY. 
There was also a special event on the programme to-dey, and ih«t 
was a 50-target race for the Kansas City Star trophy. Tnia was an 
elegant watch charm fashioned in the shape of a star and appropri- 
ately inscribed. This contest was restricted to residents of Missouri 
and Kansas City. No big scores were made in this event, but it; 
brought about an interesting and spirited contest. The result being 
a tie on 45 by Hodges, Gottlieb and Mcllhany. Each of them rattling 
good shots, and two at least have shown themselves hot company on 
numerous occasions. Hoages not having the experience of the other 
two, though coming fast. Few shooters have shown such marked 
improvement as he m the last six mon hs. The tie was snot off at 25 
and both Hodges and Mclinany got off wrong, as they lost several 
birds right at the start. While big good-natured Chris was taking 
things easy aud smashing his targets with the same stead.y 
precision that he developed in the last part of the race. Only once 
did he skip : that was after he had chalkeu 11 straight and was leauiug 
his opponent at least two birds. A ier this he made no more mis- 
takes, and finished with 24, which made 48 out of his last 53, he hav- 
ing only scored 21 out of his first string of ^t) Mcllhany scored 22 and 
Hodges 20. This shoot-oiS was frauguc with much interest, from the 
fact that the trio engaged are all young men who have a host of ad- 
mirers and are aeservedly popular. No finer ever walked down a fir- 
ing line. Gottlieb i>i Kansas City's idol, Mcllhany is Weir City's pet, 
while at Olathe they think that Hodgrs is aoout the proper one 
Conditions: 50 targets, unknown angles, for Star troph.y, entrance

Fourth Day, May 20. 
To-day we have but to record that which often happpus. tbe trade 
representatives all bunched at tbe head of the list, with McMurchy and 
Heikes lied for flr«t place with the fine average of 95 per cent. Right 
after tbem come Gilherc and Glover with S4 3, only 'ine break sepa- 
rating these two from the le. ders. Then comes Budd, who has ihe 
distinction of ^:eiting three straights in a line and making the longest 
straight run of the tournameut up to ihe present time, something 
like 6.'?. Budd, too, was tbe forlunate one of the day, his straight in 
the tlfth event netting him first alcup, the only time that it occurred 
during the dav. Linderman ranks after Budd, and is the only ama- 
teur who is well to the front Dick shot very consistently, and being 
popular his friends are elated to see him so near the top; 92 5 is a 
fast clip Collectively the contestants all shot belter to-day 
and with few exceptions all improved their a,verages. This is to 
some extent to be attributed to the targets being thrown somewhat 
higher, and not down under the bill, as on the previous two da.\s. 
The weather conditions still remainpd perfect and the attendance 
good, though not as much iuieres is taken in ihe target events, as 
the big championship event is in progress at the live-bird traps. 
Twenty-eight shot through the programme fvents, and fifiy nine par- 
ticipated altogether; of this number five, Taylor, Boehnpr, Custice, 
Dingman and White shot only in one evpni. There was $225 added 
money to day, SJ5 in each event, includiu? the special

There was also a special 20-tareet event, opanfonly to amateurs and 
those who had shot in a majority of ttie events of the previous two 
days, and had not been in for first or second money at any time. 
Entrance in this event was price of target'!, and the purse was $-.35., 
hung up by R. S Elliott & Co, three equal moneys This event had 
twenty seven entries, and Howe, T. Blackwell, J. S. Smith, Rickmers, 
Newton and Sayles cut up first money oal'*, second going to A. Smith, 
White, Norton aud Sweet on 17; Clyde, Sims, Koohler, Brown and 
Bruns scored 16 and divided third. Here the 17« received more than 
the 18s, another illustration of the inconsistency of the equal money 
division of purses. 
Fifth Day, May 2 1 . 
The principal feature in the target events to-day was Bud'1' great 
shooting. He scored four straights and two 19s. lojing but 7 target* 
in all, fluishing with an average of 95.6, the highest yet reached by 
,iny one during the tournament. Hale and Heikes are spcond, thoush 
5 birds separate them from the leadpr. Barlow aud Gil tjert follow, 
each being credited with 1 ie,=s than Hale and Heikes. This seems to 
have been a bad day for the "perfesh,"' for of ihe ten who reached 90 
per cent, only three' are in that cla?s. Sim Glover losing 9 birds in one 
event. 7 of them in succession, is one of the sui prises of the shoot. 
This occurred after he had won the cup. and may probably be due to the 
reaction. McMurcby's work also is m marked contrast to that of tho 
previous day. Frora fir^3t to tweuLy-tbird is quite a drop. But look 
at the Simon Pure class which has "be -!n tradmg in the rear all this 
time. To-day it came up with a rush, Hale, Barlow, Linderman, 
Jackson, Mcllhany and Sexton, all bunched near the top 
Aside from the usual eight sO-targec event'', there was also a team 
race on the programme, open only to teams whose members were 
residents of Missouri The entrance in this was SlO per team and $50 
was added, in addition to the medal that wen d to the high team. 
There was to have been five moneys, hut as only four teams entPred 
there could not of course be more moneys than teams. The medal 
and first money was won hy the team composed of Sergeant, Mcll- 
haay, Ban e and Wilmot. wnose te im total was 89. Kansas also 
entered a team, but were only permined to shoot for birds This 
team, composed of Ruuniug, Sexion, Barlow and Stevenson, 
scored 90 
To-day twenty-six sho'; through the programme, while Ihe aggre- 
gate number participaiing was Ilfty. Of this number Duck, Salis- 
bury, Diok-y, Biackwell, ttube, Reno and Glassner shot only in one 
event. The weather again was all that could be desired.

"stab" cup race. 
The race for this elegant trophy had the good entry of sixty-three, 
ten more than lagc year Among them were most of the representa 
tive shots of the country, the notable ones being Charley Budd, the 
present Du Font's champiou; Frsd Gilbert. ex-Du Pont champion; J. 
A. R. Elhott, who was the Star cup champioo before ihe race begun; 
RoUa Heikes. the mud oie chfimpion, as they contemptuously term it 
here; Harvey McMurchy, who is not a champion, but who occasion- 
ally out-shoots one of his class; so with tbe exception of the two 
"world's champions"- Carver and Brewer— and the cast-iron cham- 
pion and the sparrow champion, there was little talent lacking, as 
State champions were numerous. 
But now we can add one more to the above list, as Sim Glover won 
the cup and has therefore joined the chamoion class. Most likely 
this will cause him no end ot trouble, and perhaps before the ink is 
dry on this he will receive challenges galore. With so many cham- 
pions there should be no lack ot matches. 
The race was a good hot one, all but the shoot-off, and the birds 
were by no means ordinary. This is borne o'H by the fact that so 
mnnv hard hit birds went out of bounds. Four scored s rsierht— 
Glover, C. <'. Herman, Lamb and Crabill. The tie was shot off at 5 
birds, and it required juscthat number to decide the wraner. Glover, 
the winner, was the first to the score, then Crabill, Lamb and Her- 
man. The first two rounds were safely passed by all, though Crabill 
had a narrow escape on his bird. This bird, a fairly fast one, went 
almost to the boundary before it dropped. Crabill was shooting in 
very poor time His nexc one, al hough hit, went out entirely The 
others managed to stay in Glover's 4th was a hot driver, but was 
well killed close to lh« trap by an excellent first, the second being en- 
tirely unnecessary. Crabill having dropped out, Lamb now shot in 
his turn The bird he drew was a screamer, and to add to the difli- 
oulty Lamb was woefully slow. The re-iult was a lost bird. Herman 
added one m' lre to his score Glover then kdled his 5th, an easy one. 
Herman drew a fast left quarterer, and by a wpll-placed first 
had It down on the ground. Tne referee announced "dead 
bird," and the shooter dehberately took aim and fired his second 
while the bird was on Ihe ground, but the bird had fallen in a little 
depression in the ground, and the charge passed harmlessly over it. 
The shooter left the score, but in the meantime the bird's head was 
up in the air viewing the surroundings. When the ho.y who went to 
retrieve it had approached within a few feer, the bird rose and went 
out of bounds. Thus tbe bird once declared dead had to be scored 
lost, and Glover won the cup by virtue of some good luck and excel- 
lent shooting. The five birds mat Glover drew in the shoot-off were 
only ordinary, with the exception of one, but this was killed in the 
same excellent time as the rest Herman, too, was shooting in fine 
time, but did not appear to he as composed as Glover This is the 
most important feature of the many interesting ones of the big race. 
Eight men scored 24, and of this number Hagerman, Jim Porter. 
Parmelee, Budd, J S Smith and Hale lost their birds dead out of 
hounds. Nine scored .'33, and of these, Parker, Gilbert and Taylor had 
a similar experience with their lost birds.
