Annual Meeting. 
The annual meeting of the Nebraska State Sportsmen's Associa- 
tion was held at the Paxton Hotel, April 23, at 8 P. M., President 
Geo.- W. Loomis presiding, and Secretary H. S. McDonald at the 
desk. A good representation of gun clubs was present at roll 
call. After routine business and payment of dues, selection of lo- 
cation of the next annual meeting was considered and Lincoln 
was chosen. Election of officers resulted in the choice of Geo. 
B. Simpkins as President; John Burke, of Elgin, Vice-President, 
and Fred Mackett, Secretary-Treasurer. 
The sum of $25 was voted for the purchase of an annual cham- 
pionship trophy for next year's competition. 
The question of game protective legislation was taken up and 
considered at length, Mr. Simpkins, as chief deputy game warden 
making an interesting talk on what has been accomplishel under 
the new law. It was voted to authorize the officers to do such 
work with the Legislature in behalf of the Association as may 
on occasion seem expedient. 
Thursday,. April 24. 
Very satisfactory weather conditions prevailed again to-day. A 
stiff wind blew most of the time, but the' boys were settled down 
to steady work, and proceeded to pound out some excellent scores. 
A prompt start was made, and with sixty odd entries the pro- 
gramme was carried through by 4 o'clock. Gilbert won the day's 
average with 165, Crosby second with 163, Spencer and White 
third with 162 each, Burnside fourth with 160, Riehl, Sandy and 
Carter fifth with 159. Scores: .

April 25, Fourth Day. 
The last day wns in a measure a repetition of the entire week, ill 
that it presented all kinds of weather. Beginning fair as one could 
wish, the programme was concluded amid a driving wind and 
sand storm, against which it was almost impossible to stand. 
Nevertheless scores for the day were quite creditable, and some 
remarkably good. Gilbert, Crosby, Garrett, Wettleaf and Hirschy 
led in the programme, both Hirschy and Garrett making a run of 
80 straight. Scores:

Grand Totals. 
General averages on a long programme are always interesting, 
but these are especially so. First of all, thirty-five men stayed 
through from start to finish, of whom all but ten are amateurs. 
This is perhaps largely due to the fact that professionals and ex- 
pert amateurs paid on the assessment of 50 and 25 cents an event 
extra, nearly $80 per day to create a fund for division at the close 
of the programme to the amateurs staying through. This prac- 
tically guaranteed the last day's entry to the faithful. Gilbert won 
out finally by two birds over Crosby. Spencer finished a good 
third. Hirschy and Wettleaf tied on fourth, and Burnside ranked 
next. • - 
Seven men finished inside the 90 per cent, zone, but many others 
after the disastrous .experience of the first day picked up the 
cue and went along most creditably to the finish. The figures are 
here given:

Elliott— Crosby Match. 
A.s previously announced, the match between W. R. Crosby and 
T A. R. Elliott, 100 birds per man, and $100 a side, for the Cast 
Iron medal and championship title, was made the closing feature 
of this annual gathering of shooters in the Gate City of the West. 
The race was first postponed at Kansas City on account of bad 
weather, but it was shot to-day amid a storm even more trying 
and disagreeable, and with the_ principal difference that this 'was 
sand and the other snow. Wind had been blowing since morning 
from the southwest; by noon it was a gale, and by 2 o'clock, when 
Referee C. C. Beveridge called the contestants to the score, it was 
little short of a blizzard. The wind fairly shrieked about the club 
and trap houses, and sand flew in clouds. It was at times impos- 
sible to stand steady enough to shoot, and the pigeons either Jaid

flat on the ground, head to windward when released, rising re- 
luctantly to the flush, of were off with lightning speed. 
There were several hundred spectators on hand, despite the 
weather, and some money was staked on the race, Crosby b^eingj 
generally favored. Both men appeared in excellent form, but Mr. 
Crosby had previously shot through the target programme for the 
day, while Mr. Elliott had rested during the forenoon, wherein, as 
afterward appeared, he gained a certain advantage. 
Crosby killed his first bird neatly, a good right-quarterer from 
No. 4 trap. Elliott followed with a clean kill from No. 1. Both 
men shot magnificently from the start, Crosby killing 3 and 
Elliott 7 of the first 15 birds with one barrel. Elliott first came 
to grief on his 16th bird, a driving blue cock that went out frorra 
No. 3 like a dart. The second round later Crosby drew a browr* 
twister from No. 5, which he hit hard and lost dead out. Each 
then killed out, and the first string was tied at 24. In the second 
string the contestants did their finest work, Crosby making 15 and 
Elliott 12 one-barrel kills. Both ran the quarter straight, leaving 
the score a tie on 49 at the half-way point. 
If Mr. Crosby was destined to lose this match, his ill fate or 
luck first became apparent after he had passed the 56th round'. 
In the 57th he drew a dodging twister from trap No. 3, which 
wormed itself cleanly out of both loads. Again in the 60th and 65tU 
birds he had almost impossible propositions, one a low driver, anfll 
the other a left-quartering twister, both of which, though fairly 
hit, fell outside the boundary. He also lost the 73d, thus finishing 
this string with 21. Mr. Elliott was now shooting as he does acme 
time when the knowing ones who have backed the other fellow, be- 
gin making systematic efforts to hedge. He lost his 60th bird, a 
driver to the right from No. 4, dead out of bounds, and theru 
finished out the string. 
In the last round Crosby lost the 80th, 90th, 97th and 99th. two 
dead out, and finished his score with 91. Elliott lost a wabbling 
incomer from No. 1 on the SOth round, and then killed out, finish- 
ing with 97. 
So ended one of the best and gamest races ever shot in this 
country, and, despite the final score, it was not a one-sided con- 
test, Certainly, considering conditions, Mr. Elliott in all his long 
experience, never did better work. But it would be a mistake to 
say that Mr. Crosby did indifferent shooting. He did splendid 
work, and his supporters were enthusiastic up to the 60th round. 
From that point his reverse held on unrelentingly, but he lost 
gallantly and bravely, with that cheerful mien which makes him 
friends everywhere. The scores, traps and flights are here shown 
in detail:

When the Indians Meet. 
A meeting of the Indians attending the Nebraska State shoot 
was held at the Paxton Hotel, Omaha, April 22, for the purpose of 
determining dates for the annual conclave for 1902, which is to be 
held at Battle Creek, Mich. It was decided to hold the meet 
during the second week in September, the dates being the 9th, 
10th, 11th and 12th. This will be the first of a circuit including 
Detroit and Cincinnati. This will be the annual family gathering 
of the tribe, but the tournament will be open to the world for 
competition, including valuable trophies and at least $1,000 in cash 
added to the purses. Arrangement of the programme is in the 
hands of the tournament committee, and details will soon be an- 
nounced. 
Hazard Trophy Match. 
- The challenge of C. W. Phellis for a 100-bird match for posses- 
sion of the Hazard Powder Co. trophy has been accepted by C. W. 
Budd, the holder, who has fixed the contest to be held at the 
Omaha Gun Club grounds on May 10, z 
Team Race at Kansas City. 
A four-man team match was shot at Blue River Park, Kansas 
City, April 2l, in a windstorm that made Bob Elliott's blue puz- 
zlers more uncertain than usual. The contestants and results were 
as follows: Capt. A. W. Money 35, Chris Gottlieb 44; total 79. 
H. Money 39, J. E. Riley 38; total 77. , 
Gottlieb - Shemwell. 
W. W. Shemwell, of Colorado Springs, defeated Chris Gottlieb, 
of Kansas City, in a 50 live-bird match for $50 a side, at the 
Omaha Club grounds, April 25. Score: Shemwell 48, Gottlieb 46. 
The absence of the genial old-time shooter, Frank S. Parmelee, 
was much noticed and regretted on the late Western circuit. Frank 
says he is out of the game for good, and is now engaged in com- 
mercial business that he says is very satisfactory. 
This, by the way, has been the most important and _ best at- 
tended tournament circuit ever given in the West, It is significant 
as indicating the interest taken in shooting matters this year. 
The Missouri State Fish and Game Protective Association will 
hold its annual tournament for 1902 at Kansas City, probably some 
time during September. 
The Farmer City, 111., Gun Club gave an open target shoot 
April 23-24. 
The semi-monthly trophy and medal contests were held April 
27 at Dupont Park, St. Louis. Killmqre. 
Dean Richmond Trophy. 
Chicago, April 21.— Editor Forest and Stream: In your issue of 
the 19th: inst., in speaking of the original Dean Richmond cup, you 
say that it is now owned by a gentleman in Cleveland.' If you 
will refer to your issue of Jan. 21, 1892, you will obtain full infor- 
mation of the history and disposition of the cup to that date, 
written by your esteemed correspondent, Mr, Hough. ".' ' 
It was then in possession of the undersigned, and continued to 
be until the present year, when it was presented by him to the 
Washington Park Club, of this city, to be held permanently by 
that club, and to be competed for annually or oftener, with other 
prizes, by its shooting members, and to be followed by a club 
dinner. It was presented for the purpose of its permanent pre- 
servation, and it is now, and will remain in the beautiful club 
house of that club as a souvenir to the memory of the late Hon. 
Dean Richmond, of your State. Charles E. Fulton.
