Saturday Feb. 23, Fourth Day. 
The four-day shoot came to a successful close at the 
Blue River Shooting Park to-day. As only one trap was 
used to-day, the scores were better, as one set of the 
traps here used was quite difficult in its manner of 
throwing. Pat Adams got going and no heading him off, 
and accounted for 99 of the 100. He did not have much 
edge, though, over Veach, as he made 98. Linderman 
and Dan Bray made 96, and that made the old farmer 
the high amateur for the whole shoot, besides the high 
professional only beat him 2 targets. Spencer and Scott 
made 95; Elliott and Maxwell 93. Scores:

The individual amateur championship race was the 
1 attraction in the target line, and it failed to have the 
entry that such an event deserves, as only sixteen tried 
the “Bob Elliott handicap”: that is, every time one 
breaks five straight he goes back a yard. 
The dark day, dark, background and fast targets were 
a hard proposition, and the man from Nebraska, Veach, 
took them all down the line; and yet he missed 16. Thus 
all the cups that Bob put up went to Nebraska, and now 
who of Missouri or Kansas or any other country will 
attempt to go there and capture them? Scores follow: 
| Individual amateur championship, Elliott handicap, 
100 targets: Rogers 75, Baggerman 80, Mermod 83, 
Taylor 79, Veach 84, Asher 76, Thompson 79, Linderman 
| 
83.. Norton SO, Bray 82, Adams 83, Elliott 76, Spencer 82. 
Gottlieb 78, Maxwell 69, Waters 76. 
Averages, at 450 targets: Professionals—Spencer 420, 
Maxwell 418, Adams 415. Amateurs—Bray 418, Veach 
410. Mermod 408. 
The last race at live birds was decided during the day, 
the Interstate team race. Conditions were 25 live birds 
per man, five-man teams, amateurs. Kansas, Nebraska 
and Missouri, or rather, Kansas City put up two teams. 
Before the shoot was started, it was readily seen that 
on paper Nebraska was away to the good—Taylor, Lin¬ 
derman. Schroder, Bray and Beach are “dead shots” of 
long experience at the traps. But who can tell what will 
happen. Taylor, Bray and Veach all went wrong. And 
yet the good scores of Linderman and Schroder won 
the race, though by one bird only. Kansas lost through 
one man. who was put in to fill, as he had not shot any 
birds previous to this day, and his loss of six birds was 
too great a handicap. The Kansas City teams did not 
show up in their usual form, and were beaten, when, 
from the amount of practice they have had, they should 
win over those who come together only once a year.

K. C. T. L. Shoot. 
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 19.—The Kansas City Trap- 
shooters’ League, held its monthly merchandise shoot 
at Blue River Park, Feb. 17. The day was an in¬ 
spiration to worthy deeds—bright and beautiful, with 
a suggestion of violets and spring in the air. Many 
shooters were enticed to the traps. The first event was 
at 50 targets—two 15s and a 20—total scores to count, 
class shooting. Four prizess were shot for. Crosby was 
high man with 48; he was presented with a beautiful 
sterling silver ladle, the bowl gold-lined. Holmes was 
second, 4T and won a cut-glass dish; Waters third, 44, 
and drew a Tomlinson gun cleaner and cleaning rod; 
Hairgrove and Paxton tied with 43. In the shoot-off, 
Hairgrove won a Dresden smoking set. The second 
event was at 25 bluerocks for a gun, to be given at the 
end of the season to the high man. Holmes and Gray 
both made a straight. The scores:

A Social Tramp. 
Forester Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., Feb. 22.—We had a good afternoon’s 
sport breaking targets on the club grounds, but had to 
endure a northwest wind, which had no letup. The 
scores made were remarkably good. There was a match 
booked to be shot, but Mr. Puls failed to appear, and 
Mr. Jadel took the stake. Scores:
