CRACK SHOTS AT 1T
Results Of The Second and Last Day Of
the Tournament.
The Shoot Probably the Largest
and Best Ever Held In the
State-A Butte Mans
Fine Score.

Despite the fact that large black clouds
hung threateningly In the sky yesterday,
the shooters were at the park en- masse at
the appointed hour, and the second and
last day Of the tournament proved to be
a far more interesting n successful
shoot than the first. Throughout the en-
tire day the number OF entries was sur
prisingly large, n II became difficult to
keep them ut the limit. some excellent
shooting was witnessed n the visiting
marksmen carried oil the honors of the
day by sharp and close VIZ rk.
Stewart OF Butte made the best record
OF the day by "killingn IL clay birds out of
n possible 20, as against Lowe, who made
the best record on Saturday. scoring IA
out of 10.
The shoot for the citizens purse Of
S10O was the most interesting event of the
day, although he live bird shoot which
was contested earlier in the day was very
exciting and was received more favorably
by the large crowd Of oniookers. Stewart
won first money in the citizens parse by
n score OF IL ont OF ~, but was close
pushed by several who shot Is birds.
During the live bird shoot n steady shower
of rain poured down until near the close
of the contest, which caused the birds TO
fly slowly and also caused the shooters
more or less trouble, probably making
some little difference In the score.
Several extra sweepstake shoots were
worked into the programme and proved
To be both exciting and interesting as the
entries were nearly all at the limit.
The visitors expressed themselves as
being more than pleased with the .ourna-
ment in every particular and assert that
il was the best n most satisfactory they
ever participated in. Us n matter of fact
the two days tournament was decidedly
the most successful n finest ever held
in the state and the members of the local

tlcipatcd for their excellent management.
The visitors remained until the late train
and the shooting was Continued until
dark. During the live bird contest an ar
dent supporter of the tournament tried
his skill on an escaping pigeon, shooting
from the crowd This was at once con-
demned and he was lined 81 for the Of
Tense, il being against the rules of the as
ISOLATION. He failed to kill the flying
bird and was probably more scared than
the pigeon as he heard the cries that were
raised The fine was afterward RENTED,
owing to the fact la the ifende was "a
visitor and unfamiliar with the rules.
