from the express companies enables us to supply at a 
moderate price the finest and purest tobacco obtainable, 
and affords you the luxury of always getting it in per- 
fect condition.

wood boxes), $2.00, delivered. By arrangement with our 
bank, The American National, they accept small checks

of the South” is the best and most delicious tobacco 
ever smoked.

The “Army and Navy Journal,” Jan. 13, 1906, says: 
“Many pipe smokers know that much of the tobacco 
offered for sale is artificially flavored or ‘doctored’ in 
some way to make it appear what it is not, and is there- 
fore injurious to health. Those in search of an absolutely 
pure smoking mixture of superb quality should order a 
box of ‘Flower of the South.’ ”

take care of any number of shooters; therefore the 
larger the attendance, the better the shoot. 
John Bell was welcomed by his old team mates, and 
made good with a vengeance in the first day’s team 
match. As this was his first real shoot for two years, 
his score certainly was a good one. 
Dr. Gleason came late both days, but on the last day 
had to be placed in a squad not quite up to date, and 
scores were considerably lower than usual. After one of 
the home boys changed with him, he ran his 145 targets 
with only 9 misses, which is going some, 
George Prest, New London, shot like an expert at first 
and then stubbed his toe, with the result that he could 
not quite regain form. ‘ 
Chester Doten, of Worcester, shot a 90 per cent. clip 
and was a decided help to the management of the shoot. 
Any one desiring help at shooting tournaments should 
write him. for further particulars. This was his first visit 
to our grounds, and we are in hopes it will not be long 
before we again have the pleasure. 
Congratulations are due to the Boston Gun Club on its 
efficient office help, which consisted of one lady, who 
took entire charge of the cashier’s end, and compiled 
complete scores, giving out the names of the winners im- 
mediately upon the last event being shot. 
Nebraska State Shoot. 
Lincotn, Neb.—Everything was in readiness Monday, 
June 4, for the State shoot, which commenced on the 
5th and lasted three days. A number of noted profes- 
sionals from all over the country were registered at the 
Lindell Hotel, including Bill Heer, who shot at_ 38,680 
targets since April and broke 96.8 per cent.; Hood 
Waters, of Baltimore, also a noted trap shot; Charlie 
Plank (the Mexican Pintail), George Maxwell, the one- 
armed man from Holstein, whom the Kansas. shooters 
took for a ‘cane rack” until they shot in the same squad, 
and M. F, Sharp, who ‘‘cashiered” the shoot. President 
Carter and Secretary Mockett have been exceedingly 
busy for the past week, and everything was in ship- 
shape for the opening day of the meet. Two auto- 
matic traps, recently manufactured, were used, and the 
grounds were opened for practice at 9 A. M. ‘ 
Gus Schroeder, of Columbus, the oldest shooter in 
attendance, was high gun, scoring 96 out of 100. This 
was remarkable, owing to his age and the fact that he was 
shooting a “$20 gun with a $25 trigger.” 
The thirteenth annual tournament of the Nebraska 
State Sportsmen’s Association opened Tuesday morn- 
ing, June 5, at the shooting park of the Lincoln Gun 
Club. It was:an ideal morning for shooting, and some 
good scores were made. Eighty marksmen. of more or 
less experience were on hand to contest for prizes. At 
noon the match of the morning was less than half com- 
pleted. Russell Klein, of Spirit Lake, la., was high 
man, having broken 60 bluerocks without a miss. W. 
H. Heer, of Concordia, Kans., and A. W. Hardy, of 
Lincoln, tied, making a score of 59 each out of a possible 
60. Captain Hardy made a run of 144 before he missed 
a shot. He was much chagrined when the target sailed 
by, as he hoped to. break former records. In the ama- 
teur ranks Gus Schroeder and Dan Bray, both ot 
Columbus, tied for first place, 59 out of 60. Bray and 
Schroeder are veterans, having reputations as expert 
marksmen long before many of the other contestants 
were large enough to handle a gun. Heer is considered 
the fastest trapshot who has ever been to Lincoln. He is 
quick as a flash, and holds the second best record in 
the world for consecutive runs in trapshooting. At Des 
Moines recently he made the remarkable score of 327. 
The center of admiring eyes was Howard Harlan, the 
thirteen-year-old contestant from Kansas’ City. He shoots 
like a veteran, and has won more than one hard match 
where rival marksmen have been adults of long exper- 
ience. While the lad has faced the traps only a year he 
won the gold medal last season at the meet of the Mis- 
souri State Gun Club, killing 170 live birds out of 200. 
Young Harlan also won the Laflin & Rand trophy at 
Kansas City in December in trapshooting, with twenty- 
eight marksmen contesting, hitting 495 bluerocks out of 
500. He is of slight physique, but game to the core. 
Mrs. A. W. Butler, of Chanute, Kans., and Mrs. Nellie 
Bennett, of Denver, two women experts, were contest- 
ing for honors and prizes. Other marksmen of note 
were Tom Marshall, Hood Waters, Russell Klein (broth- 
er-in-law of Fred Gilbert, a top-notcher among the 
American shooters), N. F. Brookings, who has sprung 
into prominence in the last year, Chris. Gottlieb and 
Louis Erhardt. : : 
Owing to the great number of entries the events were 
shot off slowly. The first four (15 targets each) were 
completed about noon. The last two events of the pro- 
promme were 20 targets each. 
Squad No. 8, composed of five Nebraska crack shots, 
easily distanced the other squads. These five men were 
A. H. Hardy,-of Lincoln; Dan Bray and Wm. Veach, of 
Columbus; Gus Schroeder, of Falls City, and Dick Lin- 
derman, of Courtland. Out of a possible 100 bluerocks, 
Hardy broke 96, Veach 95, Bray 98, Schroeder 98, and 
Linderman 97. This team also broke the world’s record, 
smashing 494 out of 500. 
Crack marksmen on the firing line the second day of 
the shoot kicked hard on the wild activities of the ele- 
ments, which interfered with good shooting. At times the 
wind was so high that it sent the targets flying in such 
an erratic manner, poor scores were common, ‘There 
were two one-armed marksmen contesting—G. W. Max- 
well, of Holstein, and Dolf Clark, of Campbell. Mr. 
Maxwell has been doing tournament shooting for about 
three years, and has been very successful. He has made 
consecutive runs of 136 and 157. Mr. Clark has not been 
in the business very long, but has also made some good 
records, 
At a very late hour Wednesday night, or, rather, an 
early hour Thursday morning, the result of Wednesday’s 
shooting was given out for the first time. The work of 
tabulating and compiling the scores of the one hundred 
and one individual shooters, all of whom shot in the 
twelve events, 100 targets each, was a considerable task.
