first day. This was due to the weather, which was per¬ 
fect in every respect. Ford, of Central City, La., was 
high in the -amateur class, breaking 192 out of a possible 
200, and J. Borden, of Memphis, Tenn., professional, 
tied for first place. Three professionals tied for second. 
Mrs. Topperwein, of San Antonio, Tex.; Geo. Maxwell, 
of Hastings, Neb., and Chris. Gottlieb, of Kansas City, 
each scored 191. Fred Rodgers, of St. Louis, held second 
place as amateur, 190. 
The three marksmen watched with greatest interest dur¬ 
ing the day were Mrs. Topperwein, Maxwell and Hardy. 
The crowd of spectators followed Mrs. Topperwein from 
trap to trap, during all the events, and were rewarded 
by an exhibit of fine shooting. During the entire day 
she missed only nine birds. Maxwell had the attention 
of the crowd from the start on account of his skill in 
handling a gun wilh one arm. Captain Hardy, of Lin¬ 
coln, Neb., attracted attention on account of his wide 
reputation as a rifle and shotgun expert and his military 
bearing. He gave a rifle exhibition at 4 P. M. The 
Captain’s work was not as good as usual. One of his 
rifles_ was working badly, and refused to respond when 
he wished at several critical moments. He accomplished 
enough difficult feats to satisfy the crowd, which pressed 
him eagerly. The programme called for eight 15 and four 
20 target events, beside the Smith vase shoot, 50 tar¬ 
gets. The scores:

th Omaha, Neb.—The thir-ty-second tournament of 
. ebraska Sportsman’s Association opened Tuesdav 
;ng, June 4, at 9 o’clock, at Thirty-sixth and D 
South Omaha. A score or more of shooters ar- 
Monday to participate in the practice shoot, and 
the traps were not in perfect order preliminary 
j everything started off with the precision of an 
atory clock Tuesday morning. Seventy-two of the 
j shots of Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, South Dakota. 
| s, Mississippi, Illinois, Colorado, Wyoming and 
I ska entered for the first day’s events. It was not 
j ea l day for shooting. In the forenoon the sky 
1 vercast, and there was a strong northerly gale that 
sed in velocity, making high scores impossible 
looting extremely difficult and unsatisfactory. The 
» iliarity of the sportsmen with the traps—which 
up—during the afternoon was a handicap, and 
there was a blue sky background, the targets sailed 
! it extreme right or left angles, then dropped sud- 
! and were hard to break. In the scores the high 
•vere, in most cases, amateurs. Russel Klein, of 
Lake, and A. Olson, of Cedar Bluffs, were high, 
t of a possible 200. Pat Adams was one target be- 
188. The events moved slower than was antici- 
• by reason of defects in the traps, and it was after 
| M. when the last event was finished. There were 
jj 15-target events and four 20- target events. Marshall 
of the U. M. C. Co., cashiered the shoot, and his 
nd integrity in this line of work are well known.

June 5, Second Day, 
The second day of the tournament drew four times as 
many spectators as witnessed the first day’s events. The 
afternoon was ideal for both shooters and spectators. 
During the morning there was considerable trouble with 
the traps, and this caused great delay and consequent 
confusion. There were no complete events until after 
1 P. M. The number of entries increased to ninety-five, 
but a few of those who entered in the first day’s events 
dropped out, leaving the actual number who shot, eighty- 
five. The averages were decidedly higher than on the
