South Dakota State Sportsmen's Association. 
Fabgo. S. D.. .Tune 20.— The third aomial tournament of the South 
Dakota State Sportsmen's Association, held here June 16-17, was 
fully as successful as that of 1896, which was a record breaker among 
theJtorthwestern shoots last season. Quite a number of familiar 
faces werfe missed this year, but many new ones took their places 
apd were stayers xmtil the last gUn was fired. There were forty-flye 
entries the first day and fofty-two the second day in the regular 
events. ^. , 
Among those in attendance wereT. H. Keller, reibresenlmg King's 
Smokeless apd the Peters cartridges: Dr. D. H. Day, of the WesterH 
Mield and Stream Both these gentlemen assisted the tnanegetnent 
in various wavs, and made many friends among the shooters. The 
only shooter from the Twin Cities was Hirschy (Eobin Hood), who 
never fails to attend a Fargo tournament There were Boenig, Mc- 
Kay, McOuatand Struttonfrom Mint^: Irysfa; Mares, Harrold Stur- 
geon fr-om Wheatland; Dr. Spratley, Flynn, Hill and the Thielmans 
•.-father and soa— fromSt. Cloiid; Corry and Grassick, from BuXton; 
Shaffer and Kirlin, from Montevideo; McAndrews, Ellsworth, Wis ■ 
Jones, Atwaieri Nelson, and Warren, Duluth— the Minnesota State 
champions for '95 and '96; Trent, of Wadena, and Taber, of Pork 
Fanids; Main, of Canada; the Dowey Bros, and A.gem, from Fergus 
Falls; Gakey and Coulter, Dawson, N. D.; Ducke, Lwabee, N p ; 
O'Shaughnessey and Baldwin, Bismarck; Blewftt and Dr. RanMn, 
Jamestown, N. D : Wells, Grand Forks. 
The high wind that the shooter? faced the ^st day kept the scores 
down. The Fargo team were handicapped by bavins hard work pre- 
vious to and during the tournament, and their shooting was more un- 
even than usual. Much interest was manifested in the State event, 
and the contest was close and exciting. The winner was congrfitu- 
lated by the shooters, and T. K was especially pleased that the event 
was won with King's Smokeless. 
At the annual meeting of the Association for the election of officers 
the followine gentlemen werf> chosen: President, J. W. Boenig, 
Mlnto; First Vice-President, J.J Gokey, Dawson; Second Vice-Presi- 
dent, S. N. Corry, Buxton; Secretary, W. W. Smith, Fargo; Treas- 
urer, H. E. Mngiir, Fargo. The retiring president, 0. E. Kobbins, the 
founder of the Association, during the meeting urged the members 
to select officers from new localities, and by so doing arouse interest 
to adopt new methods and secure an mcreased membership. The 
officers elected are well and favorably known to the sportsmen of the 
entire State, and the Association's interests will be well cared for 
during their term of office.

Ogden Gun Club. 
OoDEN, III., June .28.— The shoot given to-day by the Ogden Q'un 
Club was a decided success, there being present a^out forty shooters. 
Some exceedingly fine scores were made, as the wind, especially in 
the morning, made the targets .lump around at a lively rate. There 
were shooters present from the following Illinois towns: Leverett, 
Thomasboro, Mayview, Sidney, Urbana, Champaign, Savoy, Tolono, 
Danville, Soloman, De Witt, St. Joe, Mansfield and Penfleld; also J. 
H. Maokie, representing the Peters' Cartridge Co. and the King Pow- 
der Co., of Cincinnati, O. ; he shot in fine form, losing only 10 birds 
out of 166 i and there was not a question of doubt as to the ones he 
hit being broken. 
A feature which added to the enjoyment of the shoot was the din- 
her given by the ladies of the Christian church, of Ogden J. R. Wat- 
kins, the genial editor of the Ogden Courier, was squad hustler, and 
seemed to be able to take cafe of that part, although he did not get a 
chance to show^ his shooting ability. Tyson and Miller, visiting 
shooters, both shot in good form after the first two rounds. Mr. 
Gere, of (jrbana, Was the Itlcky man to draw the bicycle in that event. 
The Eing Powder Co. and the Peters' Cartridge Co. 's event had the 
most entries, there being thirty-one entries. The success of the shoot 
was due tb the efforts of Mr. McKinley, as he worked hard all day 
during the shoot. I aih sure ttie club will have a much larger crowd 
next year, owing to the royal mannei- in which the shooters were 
treated by all the members of the 6gden club. Below find the scores 
of the shoot.

Boston Gun Club. 
Wellington, Mass , June 23.— The Boston Gun Club's day arrived, 
as usual, and uhe customary complement of stiooters were at Welling- 
ton this afternoon, together with a very impressive wind. The latter 
had considerable effect on the scores, the best in the match being 18, 
while not a solitary straight put in its appearance during the after- 
noon. Otherwise the breeze was a most welcome visitor, for the 
general temperature was of a heated character; so much so that the 
different events were partaken of in a leisarely lashion quile in keep- 
ing with the rapidly rising thermometer.

Pawtuxet Gun Club 
Pawtdxet, R. I., June 26.— As a contrast to last Saturday, to-day 
was decidedly windy and not at all favorable for high scores, hue 
still three men beat their records all the same. W. H. Sheldon, in 
addition to breaking 85 straight in the club shoot, also ran 95 straight 
in practice. Messrs. Armstrong and Biin were the others who 
broke their previous bests on record. In shooting at and breaking 
his 50 straight, Sheldon used a Smith gun and Walsrode powder. 
Scores were:
