tain. Considering the weather, unusually large crowds 
have witnessed the shooting ot the team at all points, 
and here was no exception. Geo. Lyon, the “Chan 
' Powers” of the south, had charge of the proceedings 
here, and of course everything was in fine shape. Those 
who took rain coats, rubber boots and umbrellas and 
went out to the park were furnished with as fine an ex¬ 
hibition of shooting as was ever seen. 
The team broke 482 out of 500, and 124 out of the last 
125. Crosby, Mrs. Topperwein and Taylor broke straight, 
and Boa got 24, losing his fourth target. The scores for 
the team were: Crosby 99, Hawkins 98, Taylor 97, Mrs. 
Topperwein and Boa 94. 
The powder boys, reinforced by Walter Huff and 
George Lyon, shot in fine shape, for the targets were 
thrown bard from three blackbird traps, unknown angles, 
and not one w'as less than 50yds. Their scores were: 
Hatcher and German 99, Huff 97, Ward 95, Lyon 94. 
These scores, added to the scores of the Winchester 
team, make a total of 966 out of 1000 targets for the ten 
men, which is believed to be a world’s record. 
Top. hit a metal disk and drove it about 40ft. in the 
air, and then knocked it out of sight with another bullet 
from the Winchester .22 auto rifle, a most remarkable 
shot indeed. He and Mrs. Topperwein always shoot 
well in their fancy exhibitions, and it is no use to try 
to describe their wonderful feats, for those who have 
never seen them would not believe the description, and 
those, who have seen these premier artists will never for¬ 
get any of the remarkable things they accomplish. 
Raleigh, N. C. — Sun at last. The sun was too much for 
everybody but John Taylor, Mrs. Topperwein and 1. 
Bill, for no one else came anywhere near keeping up 
their average. No not even the powder men. T he wind 
made the targets very erratic. Taylor broke 97, Mrs. 
Topperwein and Crosby 94, Hawkins 92, and John Boa, 
who was not feeling very well, broke 85; total for the 
team, 462, the lowest score yet. 
The other scores were: Ward 92, Hatcher 91, German 
89, Lyon 87, Dr. Johnson 90. Top shot in his usual 
superD manner. Mrs. Topperwein did most wonderful 
work. Just think of a woman tying Bill Crosby, the 
champion of the world, on 100 targets in the wind, and 
beating out such a field of the best in the country. 
Taylor was the only one who beat her.
