Soo Gun CivVs Seventh Annttal Toiiifnament* 
Sioux City, la.— The Soo BraVes have long since established the 
tournaments as one of the regular events of each season, and 
about the middle of the inonth of roses as the proper tiiile to 
hold the same. 
The shooting park here is well equipped with hguseSj and two 
sets of expert traps* and large ana rooiny gro'undj yet the low 
BCMes inatle here desefVe SOiiie iheiitioll; , j f . 
Thei-e are some faults witli riiahy of the beSt grounds used tor 
.snooting purposes, a prominent oile being that of shbotihg south, 
v.'hibh is the case .here. Again, the backgfqund is not the OcSt. 
Ohp ,set of.ti-aps throws the targets low and agaiftgt green .tl-efcs, 
and bevond that i.s the muddiest sti-eani oti earth, and it, Is not 
black inud, but yellow like unto gold. Take the glSre of the suit, 
the reflection of the water, though at some distance, and those 
with very sharp eyes alone can get onto the fast flying mud pies. 
The wind to-day was brisk and almost directly in face of the 
shooters, so that made the flight quite irregular. 
The club has a large membership and is fortunate in havmg 
good, active oflicers. In John Otten, President; J. W. Boyd, 
Vice-President; W. F. Duncan, Secretary, and C. E. Ellis, Treas- 
urer, there is a quartette hard to excel, while the executive commit- 
tee is re-enforced by the addition of C. C. Hamilton, Oscar Ho- 
berg and H. H. Hawman, while the honors of the field captain 
fall to the lot of that genial good shot, J. W. Gray. 
The tournament was open to amateurs. Professionals and 
manufacturers' agents were barred from participating in purses, 
but all were invited to attend and show ofl; their goods. 
American Association rules governed, though modified. 
All purses divided 35, 30, 20 and 15. All fair birds were birds 
and the referee so decided. 
There were twelve events each day, and .>a cash added to each 
one, and the events were all similar, being fifteen targets. 
The Shoot. 
The day Was bright and warm, but a brisk wind, the Jonah tor 
many of the boys, who began gathering early, and before the day 
was over there were over sixty who had taken part. They came 
from all the surrounding States, and so far as your correspondent 
was able to mix with the large crowd present the following names 
were gathered: F. A. Moss, Rock Valley, Iowa; H. G. Taylor, 
Meckling. S. Cak.; E. A. Leach, Sioux City. Iowa; E. D. Trotter, 
Kinsley, Iowa; J. H. Burk, Elgin, Neb,; Flory Moore, Lincoln, 
Neb.; R. M. Klein, Spirit Lake, Iowa; A. P. McDowell, Adair, 
Iowa; J. A. McKilvcy, Hedrick, Iowa; L. C. Haffertv. Ollie Iowa; 
L. A. Mikkelson, McLin, S. Dak.; E. D. Peck, Sioux Rapids, 
Iowa; E. Morrill, .S. Omaha,- Neb.; H. F. Brown, Siolix Rapids, 
Iowa; John D. Pollard. Chicago, 111.; E. G. Rust, Pnllghar, Iowa; 
L G. Walker, Correctionville. Iowa; S. L. Sanders, Elgin, Neb,; 
W. J. Shear, Spirit Lake, Iowa; C. W. Lindsey, Cherokee, low^^a; 
D. L. Power, Newell, Iowa; Frank Craybill, Onialia, Neb.; E. D. 
Adams, Rockwell City, Iowa; II. C. Baumann, Rock Valley, low^a;

M, Diefenderfer, Wood River. Neb.; Henry Steege, Waterloo, 
Iowa; John Baldwin, Jackson, Minn.; Frank Diworak, S. Omaha, 
Neb.; E. E. Amy, Springfield, S. Dak.; F. F. Slocura, Alcester, 
S. Dak. 
The Shooting. 
Henrv Steege (a farmer) from the vicinity of Waterloo, low-a, 
was best man to-dav. When he had shot out half the events he 
had only lost six targets, but being quite unwell he got sorile 
medicine that affected his vision so that the flight of the targets 
went wrong to him and he lost eleven in the later events, yet, with 
a total of 17 to the bad, he was high man and was awarded a 
500 mile book on the Great Northern Railroad. Second place 
went to D Morrill, of Omaha, which was a neat little bunch of 
cash. The third high was decided between Ed Trotter and M. 
Diefenderfer, while W. Shears, of Spirit Lake; C. H. Hunter 
and J. W. Grav, of Sioux City, were on a tie for fourth. 
This voung man Shears is fast coming to the front. He must 
have taken some lessons in Fred Gilbert's back yard and some m 
Klein's front yard, as in the first four events he made three 
straight scores, yet with this good showing he fell away dunng 
the remainder of the day. . , . , , , 
There were plenty of average prizes, the eight lowest men get- 
ting a fine distribution of merchandise. The scores:

Second Day, June t2. 
Weather (luilc an improvement over the first day. The straight 
face to wind had subsided and during part of the day was slight, 
vet during the afternoon it came from behind the shooters" stand 
and swooping down over the high hluS dropped the targets in 
a measure quite low. This with the tree and grass background 
made the targets very hard to locate. , „ 
Some fair scores were made, yet all agree that the conditions 
liere are harder than those found at most tournaments. 
Soo City Tfophy Cvp. 
To-day we had a little vftrjety added in for spicci It was the 
contest for the Soo City trophy. This has been up each yefer and 
is worth the winning, as the entrance paid in next year goes to 
the winher of this year, . j - , ^ 
There was a large entry, as shooters went liitft ■fiiis evelit wKo 
did not shoot in others^ 
Thus, having fiothlitg in view but to get the cup, as hothiiig 
but straight sebfes coulo wifl atlythitlg, it seems strange that ten 
men should land with 14; whije oHly five got straight scores. 
These were: S. A. ,5mith; of Hartley^ lowtt; Farmer Btjrkj of 
Elgin, Neb;; W. E, Mever, of Sibux City; lown; Gtis Stecgfii ol 
Waterloo, and H. A. Taylor, of Mecklirtg, S. Dak. . . 
These gentlfemen were at otlcfe called up to shoot off fot the 
prizes. If a bookmaker had been {Present he would hkvH (foHg 
broke on Steege, as he lost his first tatget, Burk and Taylof let 
their second hit the grass and Mever fell down on the tiiird. ,This 
will convey to the reader that these targets were not puddings. 
Thu.s, in short order, Mr. Smith has possession of the cup for 
this vear. and it will net liim aljout $50 next year. 
It was the fine shooting of W. E. Meyer that pleased the home 
crowd, and in fact everybody, as he was not expected to be in 
at the finish, vet he secured an Ithaca hammerless shotgun, 
Taylor marched off with a fine Bristol fishing rod and Mr. Burk, 
the farmer from the sand hills, carried home a splendid W^eber 
shooting jacket. , ^ ^ t 
It seems that at times it does one good not to feel well, as 
Steege again came to the front with high average and won an 
elegant pair of .$10 trousers. 
'Ilien came Hunter, of Sioux City; Townsend, of Omaha, and 
Shears, of Spirit Lake, who. tieing, divided $7,50 cash. 
Third high was won by Dick Linderman and E. Trotter, while 
the cigars were won by .Slocuin, of Alcester; S. D. Moss, of Rock 
Valley, and Adams, of Rockwell. 
There were good prizes for the eight lowest men, and there was 
a good line of merchandise. The scores:

Third Day, June 13. 
Another splendid day for shooting and those who remained over 
had good sport with the saucers, yet there were but about thirty 
shooters present, and they shot out the programme by about 2 
P. M. As there were a good supply of shells and targets on the 
ground the reader may suppose many would indulge in some 
sweepstakes, but not so; every gun was laid aside and soon_ as 
possible each man marched up the hill and away for the city. 
Here an observing shooter may pause and ask if a two-day target 
tournament is not quite the proper thing for the amateur shooter: 
Steege shot better to-day, and so did others. Conditions were 
somewhat better. The wind was in front of targets and elevated 
them more than yesterday, so the three days average went to 
the \A'aterloo farmer, and he carried home a nice Stevens single 
barrel shotgun as a weapon for his boy. W. Shears, L. Sanders. 
T. W. Gray and D. Morrill were all bunched for second, while E. 
H. Hunter. F. F. Slocum, W. D. Townsend and C. D. Linderman 
were in for third. Ed Trotter and C. E. Ellis were equal in 
fourth. _ 
This shoot was well arranged and carried out to- the letter, about 
the only complaint being that the conditions were too hard. Tar- 
gets thrown fast against dark trees in part, some quite low and 
angles sharp. To-dav there were two events in which but one 
man each scored a 15; others had 2 straights. This will show 
a hard game. The management are on record as intending to 
make the shooting this year harder than former years, as hereto- 
fore complaints were made of throwing targets too easy, so now 
shooters can thus shoot and see which they like best. 
The officers are first class men. W. F. Duncan was active, and 
was ably assisted by the captain, J. W. Gray, while several other 
members were ready at all times to assist when necessary. 
Mr. M, J. Larson, in the office, was the man for the place, and 
got out the figures in quick time and with dispatch almost at the 
close of each event. The figures were posted on the bulletin 
board for the amount of cash each place was paying, so each 
shooter could make up his own receipts as the shoot progressed, 
and it gave better satisfaction than anything I have seen adopted. 
W'hat puzzles the shooters most, and what is strange, is that 
there were so very few straights made, and yet so many in the 
14 hole. Straight scores paid well, although on several occasions 
the straight men drew down such sums as foUow's: $23, !S20, $16, 
$10, $7, $6.50, $5.95. and $4. , , , 
There were representatives here talking np shoots to be held 
first at Waterloo, Iowa, this coming week, and then at Sioux 
Falls. S. Dak., and next at South Omaha, Neb. The scores:

Trenton Shooting Association. 
Trenton, N. J., June 15. — Herewith please find scores made 
June 8, 12 and 15. The attendance on all three dates was light, the 
fir.st two dates due to a steam yacht re.gatta on the river, and the 
Yale-Princeton ball game, and the shoot to-day was knocked in 
the head by stormy weather. If there is a hoodoo connected with 
our affairs we exi^ect to lay it when we lengthen out the club 
house. The plans and specifications are in the hands of the con- 
tractors, and just as soon as they ,get through we intend to have 
a liousewarming. but ice instead of coal will be used at the fes- 
tivities. The band has been engaged and you will receive an 
invite. The motto for the occasion will be, "Come early and 
avoid the rush."
