l. O. o. +, Excursion,

The excursion which left here on
the Blaine Friday under the auspices
of the Odd Fellows Lodge was a sue
cess in every particular with the ex-
ception that the Exposition did not
open ON the 1st. The Times of Sat
urday says: An excursion party,
said TO number between 300 and 400,
arrived in Pittsburg about 8 80 o'clock
last night on the steamer James G..
Blaine from Morgantown and vicin-
ity, for the purpose of attending the
Pittsburg Exposition to-day. 1t was
in charge Of f. c. Protzman, of Nor
gantown. He was surprised when
he learned that the Exposition would
not open till next Wednesday.
When asked how such a mistake
happened to occur, Mr.. Protzman ex-
hibited card about the Exposition,
which said it would open Sc ptember
l. Cards, such as the one be had,
he said, were scattered around in his
section. The card calls attention to
what is to be seen in Pittsburg and
asks visitors to call at the Cham Der
of Commerce.
The Commercial Gazette also con
tanned a notice similar to the above
and said that the Manager of the
Exposition would investigate the
unbusiness like method Thirty
thousand of the cards were distribu-
ted before the mistake was discover
ed. S. 5. Graham, the genial Super,
intendent of the Packet Company,
got on the boat at Brownsville and
the party speaks in the highest terms
of the courteous treatment and ia
vors received from him and the off
GERS of the Blaine from Capt. Jacobs
down. At the Chamber of Commerce
regrets were expressed on account of
the mistake which fooled our people
and the managers of the excursion
were told to collect the party and
they would be taken to a park and
entertained in royal style as guests.
The mistake does not seem to hurt
any member of the party for they all
report most excellent time. A great
many returned Sunday morning and
at midnight Sunday, only a few re-
turned on the Saturday night boat.

A FAMOUS MARKSMAN
Is Capt. FarrOw-He Adds to His
Fame at the Omaha Tournament
and Wins More Prizes.
Umaha Sunday Bee.

During the week just past Omaha
has entertained some of the most no.
ted marksmen at the eighth biennial
tournament of the Western Shooting
league that any place has ever had
the honor of welcoming upon such
an accession.
Some of them have gained honors
not only in this country but also in
Europe, where they were won in COM
petition with men of international
reputation in this line. To the
credit of this city it is to be said
that the visiting riflemen were we'll
received here and that in effect they
have nothing but praises to offer for
Omaha and the way the shooting af-
fair, in all its details, was conducted
by the management.
OF the more distinguished crack
rifle shots now here Captain w. Mil
ton Farrow, a very pleasant Yankee,
is probably one of the most notable,
having taken part in many rifle con-
tests in this country and in Europe.
He is member of the Cincinnati as
ISOLATION, although his residence is
in Morgantown, W. Va. First inter,
esting himself in rifle practice in
1876, in the fall of 1877 be won a
position on the team that defeated
the Canadians at 800, 900 and 1000
yards distance in Canada. In the
| followirtu war n q q roportod 4 n boYo
competed for and won the King med
al at national shoot held at Union
Hill N. j. A champion medal was
awarded him at Creedmore, L. |.
when the contest was under the Ma
tional Rifle association rules, which
compelled the usage of a three pound
trigger on a rifle weighing not more
than ten ponds. At Wimbledon,
England, the Albert prize was award
ed him, which is $500. During the
succeeding year, at the same place
and under like conditions, at 1000
yard shoot, Captain Farrow won the
Wimbledon cup, an elegant silver
trophy, valued at $500.
Speaking of this Captain Farrow
stated that this prize was personally
presented to him by the Prince and
Princess of Wales. AS a member of
the American rifle team, which de-
feated the Irishmen at Dollsmount,
Ireland, he assisted materially in
that team, making the highest score
on record. He next displayed his
skill to the Frenchmen at Caen in
Normandy, where he carried off first
prize, and at Versailles at distances
of $50, 200 and 300 metres. Cap
tain Farrow considers his Creedmore
winnings his greatest accomplish
ment. The contest was open to all
corners, and the massive silver urn
which he won at that time was the
gift of the National Rifle association
of England. At the distance of L.
900 yards he scored las points Out
of possible $50.
