A KANSAS CITY COLLAPSE. 
All competition collapsed before the U. M. C. Shells and Remington Guns 
of Wm. Heer and Harry Taylor, at the Missouri State Shoot, at Kansas City, 
August 13th to 17th. They won the Professional and Amateur Averages against 
almost all the best American shots of both classes—9734 and 96^ per cent, out 
of 615 targets. O. N. Ford also ran 140 straight with U. M. C. Shells. 
SHELLS 
proved their merchandise-quality, and Messrs. Heer and Taylor their marks¬ 
man-quality.
