The Iowa stallion Prince Almont is a race
horse that will bear watching. His recent
performance in winning the last three of a
five heat race at LeMars in 2:l5is, 2:l3X and
2:l5i5, ~justiies the above admonition.
The handsome roam colt, Atlantic by
Eagle Bird, owned by Pyle Il Briggs, and
driven by Ed Pyle, won the 4-year-old event
for a 81 600 purse at lie Mars, Ia, in straight
heats, defeating such good ones MS Ward

and Miner by Nutwood The time was

The Kinney brothers arc catering to both
%trotters and runners. Cole Bascombe, a
jumper owned by them, beat a field of eleven
over at Chicago the other day and thereby
added 81 500 to Pat and Franks roll. Tom
Miller, too, has been winning all mis- races
recently, and must be acknowledged quite a
%trotter. He is a great big chestnut, and is
bound TO take u front position before he is
many years older.

him in the free-for-all class at LeMars to

temperature and age arc concerned, Is not
surpassed by any nitro-powder In thc

of the latter. As TO the nitros, these sane

or even equals the Walsrode. In n recent re-
port Of a test held in Berlin. Germany.
Armln Tenner in the American Field has
this to say, alter concluding in the general
superiority and desirability Of the Walsrode
powder over the others:
The Walsrode powder has one fault in
common with most all nitro powders. IL is
its comparative sensitiveness to increased
charges. II must be loaded with care and
Judgment, but If this rule be followed it can
be used without fear for the safety of the
gun or the shooter. This fault, however,
seems to have no great weight with the
shooters in Germany, as for trap shooting
especially II is the most favored powder in
this country. The reason for this may be
found In the fact that, as our ex-
periments have demonstrated, it is not
affected by moisture or heat, will pro-
duce the same uniform effect If laid over
from one season to another, IL fouls the gun
barrel very little, produces n light recoil,
creates the least smoke among all powders,
and does not heat the barrel If fired rapidly
as much as many other powders. But all
the advantages that the Walsrode or other
smokelcss powders may offer should not in
duce these gunners who still show n ten
dcncy to adhere to the old, good and tried
gun, no matter how much the effect of age
and rough handling mas have set in, to dis
continue the use of black powder, because
all smokeless powders require a good and
sound gun and action. They will occasion
ally produce pressures not reached by the
ordinary charge of black powder and they
are certainly more sensitive to instructions
in the gun barrel than black powder"

The Field Day Games Saturday.

The Young Mems Christian ASSOCIATION
park on Saturday afternoon next,
ing at 2:30 sharp, will be the scene of the
associations inaugural field day games, and
with good weather n grand crowd will as
suredly assemble to witness the sport. The
card of athletics that has been prepared is a
splendid one, embodying no less than twelve
events, and that each will furnish it's full
quantam of healthy and exciting sport is an
assured fact. The opening event will be n
l00-yard run, with some half dozen entries,
and will certainly be a sprint worth looking
at. There are some very speedy men within
the ranks OF the association, and it is quite
probable that the winner will do the dis
lance in less than 10 seconds. This event,
az well as all the others, is open TO ANA
teurs from any part ofithe state. Following
the opening sprint comes a 44O yards, half
mile and mile run, with a big field of com
petitors for each. Next in order will be the
running high and broad jump, pole vaulting,
hammer throwing, shot-putting and a series
of three bicycle races, one mile for %noviceS,
n five-mile handicap and one mile open.
The management is busy perfecting
preparations and long before the hour when
the bell will summon the sprinters to the
track everything will be in the very best of
condition. The ORGANIZATIONS band has pre-
pared q special program for the occasion and
ali the prospects are for n genuine sporting
gala afternoon.

j. C. Morrison, II. B. Kennedy and Charlie
Rosters are worrying the grouse up near
Rushville. They will be gone a week.
Jack Morrison killed the first woodcock he
ever saw on Wednesday last, east Of Ban
croft. He also shared q brace of mallard,
one red head and thirty-one teal.
Prof, Stein made IA big catch of croppies at
Honey creek u few days ago. He said he
saw thousands of teal, ana If he had had n
gun he would have filled his boat. A little
salt is better, Robbie.
j. M. Davidson Of Begelow, Mo-, writes
that the small dncks are coming in IN great
shape, and the Jacks have also begun to
show up. In ten days, he reckons, shooting
will be superb down here.
John NovoJny of Schuyler was in the city
one day last week. He reports plenty Of
quail IN his region, and on account OF Il good
supply of water in the sloughs, is anticiplt-
ing fine duck and snipe shooting.
M. L. Learned, Will Simeral and Dana
Lander put in an afternoon al Honey creek
last week, scoring a creditable bag of blue
wings. Slmeral killed one with his 500
Lefever Mt 1870 yards actual measurement.
J. S, White and G. w. Rainey put in last
Sunday with the hammerless. They knocked
down ten or a dozen teal, ana ripped a flock
of mud hens up the back after q fashion
that would have turned Bruce Leningwell
gangrene with envy.
John w. Gwyn and a select party of Eng

Frank Cross will sail for South Dakota next
week. Gywn says they are going ostensibly
for ducks, but he knows n patch where the
wild geese grow on bushes.
George ii. Hoagland and William Preston
are after black and white tails in the north
western sandhills. A few years ago they
were hunting in this region and KILLED a
wagon load of deer. They hired "a native to
haul the same to the railroad station, but
the %natiye, like the boy after the woodG huck,
was out of meat himself. They paid him for
the Job before he started and that was the
last they ever saw of him. Hoagland says
he thinks it was John Petty in disguise.
Speaking of MIR. Clafiin, by the way, re.
minds me, as Abraham Lincoln wovld have
sand, Of the fact that he has the most COM
plete and costly hunting and fishing outfit OF
any man IN Nebraska, or perhaps the
country. MIR. Clafin is a thorough enthu
siast over the glories OF the field and
stream, and INDUCES in the sport mosl
laylshly. His paraphernalia, including guns
boats, tents, fishing apparatus, camping
utensils, decoys, tent furniture, shell cases,
rods, reels and lines cost nothing short o.
$500. He keeps everything in the yer,

sportsman from whom much is TO be learned

The Young Mems Christian association
foot ball teams are industriously training
for the campaign of 1893, which will be
started off here in earnest on Monday after
noon, October 16. when the associations
first eleven will be pitted against a strong
team composed of students of the Iowa col
lege. Captain Abbott, by this wise prelimi-
nary practice, will certainly nave the advan-
tage of enough backs in good training and
form to open the season without the fear of
losing a lot of soft men from injuries. The
practice ground AT the park is ideal, and the
weather for the past ten days, barring
the two last, has been just the sort for bene-
fetal work.
'Pick your team early in the season and
make as few changes as possible observed
the captain yesterdays land you will find n
vast amount of improvement in its average
work"
And this is exactly what the Young Mems
Christian association has done, ana the wis
dom of the move will likely demonstrate it
self in the opening game. Mr.. %Jetfries, who
is coaching the team, goes about his work
like the old vet that he is, and the chances
are splendid for II brilliant season on the

terized by that rush and vim that makes foot
