Smith Cup Event. 
This event is the one that for a score of years has 
j been shot at targets, though under many conditions as 
to rules. It is the same number of targets, 25; open 
to all; $5 entrance; handicaps 16 to 22yds.; two shots 
at a target. 
There were forty three entries, and yet there was not 
a straight score made. This may seem strange when 
the use of two barrels is allowed, but then the con- 
j ditions were far from being ideal. With a bad light, a 
j strong wind and very low targets, the second barrel 
was not much good. However, it turned out to be a 
pretty contest. Alex Vance, of Capron, and Frank 
1 Riehl, of Alton, tied on 24. and then tied again on the 
shoot-off, getting 13 out of the 15 allowed them. Riehl 
lost three the next time up, one of them being his last 
target, and Vance won and was warmly congratulated. 
Here is the unpleasant part of a reporter’s duty—that 
of giving the shoot as it occurred, according to his 
eyes. When Frank shot at the second target, going 
almost straight away from him, he scratched it so tha’t 
most of the onlookers could see from one to three pieces 
drop from it. He used his second barrel, as he could 
not see the small piece, and the referee called, “Lost,” 
i and as it turned' out, the result was a tie, as Riehl did 
I not challenge the target. There being but one referee, 
it proved his last chance to win. Many were the con¬ 
gratulations received by Mr. Vance, and none were more 
hearty than Mr. Riehl himself, 
w No less than eight men tied on 23. Geo. Roll with 
his single barrel gun, was the first to get so near to the 
winner. Graham, Sconce, Marshall, Kuss, Hook, Tohn- 
son and Tracy were the good ones in the tie. The 23s 
were Fitzsimmons and P. Graham. There was a long 
Powers and Willard at the 
list of 21s, with Crosby, 
head. The scores follow;

Third Day. 
The last day 
was the best, so far as the 
weather 
was 
rconcerned. The storm had passed, the sun shone most 
^of the day, and the “yellow backs” of the targets loomed 
up nicely against the far off malt house, 
j, The legular sweeps of ten events, 20 targets each, were 
shot off early in the afternoon, as the number of entries 
| had fallen off. 
I The “Daddy of ’em All” forged to the front on this 
d'ay and led the aggregation, dropping only eight out of 
200. He was closely followed by Crosby with but ten 
| lost, thus winning the high professional average bv a 
good margin.

SIXTY-THREE YEARS AGO 
“Bill” Hamilton, then 20 years of age, set out from St. 
Louis, Mo., with seven other free trappers under the 
leadership of old Bill Williams. Seven of these eight 
men are dead, but Hamilton still lives out in Montana 
and still sets his traps. He has written the story of his 
early trapping days and the book has been published. 
It is called 
MY SIXTY YEARS ON 
THE PLAINS 
By W. T. HAMILTON 
It tells of trapping, trading, Indian fighting, hunting, 
and all the many and varied incidents of the trapper’s 
life. It is full of adventure and excitement, but the story 
is told modestly, and there is nothing in it that is lurid. 
Amid much fighting, there is nothing that can be called 
“blood and thunder,” but there is much that is history. 
The book has all the charm of the old volumes, telling 
of early travel in the West; books which were simple 
and direct, and in which there was no striving for effect. 
It is illustrated by a portrait of the author and one of 
the celebrated Chief Washaki, and by six drawings of old- 
time trapper and Indian life, by Mr. Charles M. Russell, 
the celebrated cowboy artist of Great Falls, Montana.
