and ominous clouds hid the sun
from view and now and then few

the fixed events of the third day.
Ammunition being plentiful and
the nerves of the shooters strung
up to their highest pitch, ample
opportunity was given them to
burn up all the powder they de-
sired, and extra events were ar
ranged one after the other, until
darkness reminded the shooters
that there is an end to all
good things, and tomorrow was
another day.

Extra event No. was for the
Winchester gun, a handsome dona-
ton Of the Winchester Arms COM
pany. This event was at so single
targets, reverse pull, and was an
interesting shoot.
The experts refrained from en-
tering for the gun but shot the reg
ular score among themselves for a
side sweep Of S..
Mr.Dupuy,of Houston, carried off
the trophy on the excellent score of
A out of a possible 80, and also
divided first money with Heikes,
he having entered the sweep;
second money went to McMurchy,
third to Damon, and fourth to
Elliott and Schryver.
Although getting late, several OF
the shooters requested a live bird
sweep and like any thing else the
San Antonio Gun club has got to
give, the visitors were more than
welcome to it and one was ar
ranged with the following result:
Ten live bIrds,-$7.50 entrance,
moneys; McGinty took first
money on ten straight; Kinmouth
and Jackson second with nine to
their credit, and third was divided
among several.
In conversation with reporter
for the LIGHT, both J. A. r. Ell.

the world, and Rolla Heikes, cham

United States, where experts
were entered, had they seen fewer
