Iowa Falls Tournament. 
Iowa Falls, la., July 17.— The scores made at the 
tournament held here on July 16 and 17, are appended. 
The first day there were thirty-seven entries in the dif¬ 
ferent events, and twenty-six shot clear through. 
The wind interfered with the scores in the afternoon. 
It blew across the traps and made them perform all 
kinds of stunts, and caused the shooters several bad 
half hours. . 
The second day we had twenty entries, and every one 
shot clear through. The wind this day blew square m 
the face of the shooters, and made good scores impos- 
sible. 
The trade was represented by G. W. Maxwell, C. G. 
Spencer, R. Kline, and L. H. Fitzsimmons. F. C. Whit¬ 
ney had charge of the office. We trapped 11,000 targets 
in the two days, and the last 4,000 in four hours, in 
order to let the boys catch their different trains for 
home.
