FOREST AND STREAM.' 
[JXJNE 4, 1904. 
Hill man, furnished a little spice of life for his first and only 
day by getting 126, Spencer and Powers each having 124. The 
World's Fair weather did not fully agree with most of the others. 
It is to be noted how poorly some of the members of local clubs 
shoot who invariably shoot well when on their own ground. It is 
a fact that all the other grounds about the city have better back- 
ground than that used by this shooting association. The scores:

Fifth Day. 
This wound up the State programme, as there were only 
nineteen men shooting targets. Powers and Chas. Spencer were at 
their best. Heer had the hard-luck story, as running short of tar- 
get loads, he shot regular Si^dr. pigeon loads, and in the first 
event after the change made four misses, which, with a loss of 
eight for the day, made him a tie with Spencer for the four days, 
as Spencer gained during the day five targets, just the number 
that Heer was ahead when the day's shoot was started. 
In the merchandise and target events. Powers came near to the 
firsts, as he either won or divided all the firsts. The stein set, 
which Powers captured, was handsome. The Winchester shot- 
gun went to him and he was tied for the tent. Zahn won the 
hunting boots. H. B. Spencer, the disinfectant; Kauffman, the 
beaded vest; Hall, the suit case; H. B. Spencer, the rocking chair; 
Hall, the disinfectant. Scores:

Newport, R. I.— The third race for the Powel cup was pulled 
off on Wednesday, with a good attendance and with splendid

Bowler, the last winner performed from 17yds., scoring 39. 
The traps worked finely, and a bunch of extras were shot, the 
boys being anxious for all the practice possible for the third an-

pay half the license if you give me half the dog." Boy: "Thanks, 
dad. My word, you are a brick." Father (a week later): "Say, 
my son, I don't know what you are going to do with your half 
of that dog; but I'm going to poison mine."— Shooting Times. 
Nebraska S. S. A. 
Omaha, Neb., May 23.— The Nebraska State Sportsman's As- 
sociation closed its twenty-eighth annual target toultnafnent i at 
Columbus yesterday. It was one of the most, successful meets 
ever held by this grand old body, which is saying much to the 
credit of G. A. Schroeder, Dan Bray and Gus Sievers, of the 
Columbus Gun Club, the trio who so ably conducted the affair. 
Seiverson made the highest score, with Blivins a close second, 
while Sack took the -high average. The total figures of those who 
shot the full card out show the following results: Seiverson 579 
out of t20; Blivins 577, Sievers 560, Ilian 541, Bernhardt 493, 
Campell 567, Terryberry 493, Sach 576, Roberts 519,- Schroeder 439, 
Linderman 565, D.worak 465, Anderson 485, Reed 659, Allen 
Goodrich ■ 491, McDonald 516, Townsend 573,' Thorpe 455, Miller 
565, Williams 523, H. Dixon 544, C. Dixon 543, Bray 533. There 
were ninety-eight shooters participated, and they were unanimous 
that the tournament was one of the best ever held under the 
auspices of this time-honored Association.
