Palma Trophy Comes Back. 
Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 14. — The United States rifle 
team to-day defeated the Canadian team for the Palma 
trophy, emblematic of the international championship, 
by 8 points. Their total was 1720, and that of the Cana¬ 
dians, 1712 out of a possible 1800. This score breaks the 
previous record, 1695. The United States had volun¬ 
tarily surrendered the trophy and sent a team to Canada 
to compete for it, with the understanding that, whatever 
the result, a Candian team shoot at Sea Girt next year 
The match was at 800, 900 and 1000 yards. Canadians 
led by 3 points at the first range, lost by 10 on the sec¬ 
ond, and one on the final. The highest individual score 
was Sergt. Russell, of Ottawa, with 222, making a world’s 
individual record. 
The total scores of the United States team were: 
Lieut. W A Tewes, New Jersey. 214 
Capt Casey, Pennsylvania . 216 
Maj J W Hessian, Connecticut. 216 
Maj. W B Martin, New Jersey. 213 
Musician G W Chesley, Connecticut. 212 
Capt E W Rody, Ohio. 216 
Sergt. Keough, Massachusetts . 217 
Sergt Kean, Massachusetts . 216—1720 
The Canadians scored as follows: Q. M. S. Mclnnes 
214, Capt. N. Smith 218, Sergt. Russell 222, Lieut. Morris 
216, Sergt. Freeborn 211, Sergt. Kelly 205, Lieut. Steck 
215, Sergt. W. A. Smith 211; total 1712. 
At the first range the Canadians made bullseyes in 
every one of their first fifteen shots, while the Ameri¬ 
cans made one less. 
The Palma trophy was established in 1876, being won 
by the United States in that year at Creedmoor, L. I. 
Since then the trophy has been held by Canada and 
Great Britain. The trophy, which the United States 
surrendered and then won back to-day, was captured at 
the competition in 1907 at the Rockliffe range, where 
to-day’s match was held. 
PRAIRIE FISH HATCHERIES. 
By the first of next month the new State fish 
hatcheries at Pratt, which it is claimed will be 
the largest plant of its kind in the world, will 
be completed. 
"The fish hatcheries will contain eighty-three 
ponds in addition to eleven ponds that existed 
before. Its building includes the construction of 
a concrete dam 500 feet long across the Ninnes- 
cah River, which will furnish a supply lake of 
ten acres,” said Prof. L. L. Dyche, State Fish 
and Game Warden, who has charge of the plant. 
“Water from the supply point will be carried 
to the hatchery ponds through a twenty-one-inch 
clay pipe 6,875 feet long. The building of the 
hatchery will necessitate the moving of 150,000 
cubic yards of dirt. Twenty thousand feet of 
eight- and ten-inch pipe has been laid for the 
drainage and water supply system. The system 
also includes 190 sluice gates, ninety-four con¬ 
crete structures, 300 wire mesh screens and other 
appurtenances for controlling the water supply. 
“Around the ponds and between them are 
automobile drives. The place is being made a 
beauty spot and will be visited by thousands of 
persons each year.

WHAT POWDER DO YOU SHOOT? 
“Fish will be selling in Kansas markets three 
pounds for a quarter before we are through. 
Fish now is regarded as a luxury, but we will 
soon change all that. The ‘fins’ will be within 
the pocketbooks of all. 
“We are stocking the hatcheries with bass, 
croppie, catfish, sunfish and the other varieties 
common to the Missouri River basin. Anybody 
can produce these kinds of fish with proper care, 
and they are might fine eating. There is noth¬ 
ing better than catfish fried brown, I can tell 
you that. Even German carp, much despised, is 
mighty good to eat when a person cooks it prop¬ 
erly. I would like to conduct a tour of educa¬ 
tion on the art of cooking German carp. I would 
redeem that fish from the stigma sportsmen have 
cast upon it. 
“When our hatcheries are completed, we will 
furnish fish to any person who cares to attempt 
to produce them for his own table or for the 
market. We already have on hand enough two- 
year-old catfish in our old hatcheries to stock the 
new. And any farmer enterprising enough to go 
into the business will be given these. 
“Our hatcheries cover 100 acres of water and 
we can produce enough fish for every person in 
the State. When we have succeeded in spread¬ 
ing our idea, which we can easily do by showing 
a farmer without a lake another farmer’s pond 
alive with fine fish, we will have dealt the death 
blow to the high price of meats. 
“Catfish in place of high priced steak. Crop- 
pie in place of pork chops. Sunfish in place of 
veal and mutton chops—and the people of Kan¬ 
sas will be healthier, richer and happier.”—Hut¬ 
chinson News.
