Youghiogheny Country Club. 
McKeesport, Pa., SepL 4.—Yesterday’s events at the 
Youghiogheny Country Club will long be remembered by 
not only the membership, but by all visitors as well, for 
a day full of pleasure of the most varied and extensive 
kind. The links were in fine condition, and quite a 
large nummber of players were engaged on them dur¬ 
ing the day._ 
As previously scheduled, a 50-bird shoot was begun 
promptly at 1:45, and by the time the 2 o’clock car 
arrived from McKeesport, more than 50 of the best 
shooters of western Pennsylvania were entered in the 
shoot under the Lewis class system. This event con¬ 
sumed the time until 4 o’clock, when the renowned Mr. 
and Mrs. Topperwein, the world’s most famous shooters, 
began an hour’s exhibition of marksmanship with shot¬ 
gun, rifle and revolver. Their reputation was fully sus¬ 
tained by what they did during the time of their ap¬ 
pearance before a large and enthusiastic audience, among 
which was a great number of the fair sex in honor of 
one of their own number who has such an enviable 
reputation. 
The skill of this pair of shooters has to be witnessed 
for one to fully realize how adept they are in the use of 
firearms. Many forms of fancy and trick shooting was 
given, including the throwing of all kinds and sorts of 
articles into the air, such as canned to-matoes, apples, 
brickbats, wooden cubes, pieces of money and various 
metallic objects, and when it came to eggs they broke 
them in the air by the half dozen, and no doubt could 
quickly prepare an omelet or a scramble as the case 
might be, in less time than the best short order cook 
in Christendom. The plugging of tin cans with in¬ 
numerable holes before lighting, and finally an outline 
sketch of an Indian chief’s head on a sheet of tin. 
One of the most remarkable feats performed by Mrs. 
Topperwein was the cutting in two of a card held edge¬ 
wise bv Mr. Topperwein. Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein, 
in addition to their skill with firearms, are a most 
genial couple, and ingratiated themselves into the hearts 
of all present by their pleasant address. 
At the close of this exhibition all the members and 
guests repaired to the club house, where Steward Bost- 
rom had been busily engaged preparing a “corn roast” 
that was held in the open on the lawn opposite the club 
house, where the large number present partook of not 
only roast corn but crabs and other delicacies too 
numerous to mention. This was immediately followed 
by one of the most delightful dances in the spacious 
room of the club house, rounding ' r " 
exhilarating pleasure which has been the privilege of the 
members and their guests to enjoy this season.
