The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-08-01

heavily and the naturally quick traps
were made more difficult on account
of stiff northwest wind which twist
ed the unknown angles at which all the
events were shot into regular zig gags
and spirals.
The feature of the tournament was
the contest for the Tucker trophy which
furnished the best scores of the day and
aroused great interest among the fair
sized crowd of spectators among whom
were a number of ladies. There were
twenty-five entries in the competition
for the cup, which consisted Of the high
est score resulting from twenty-five
birds at unknown angles. 1t was rain
ing hard when the first squad took the
platforms and rapidly getting dark
DR.. L. w. Lyon led off and finished
his run with the high score of twenty
three birds killed. After this all those
missing three birds dropped out, thus
quickly narrowing the contest down to
four marksmen. In the last squad II.
+. Lawrence did some excellent shoot
ing and tied DR.. Lyon by scoring
twenty-three birds killed Of those who
shot between the two high men T.. "
Rodecker made a score of 81 and
Phster ~. DR.. Lyon and Mr.. Law
renee being tie 1T was agreed to shoot
failure
after that to count out the man miss
ing. Lawrence missed the first bird
and was followed by DR.. Lyon who
scored. 1t was a pretty contest for nine
more birds, Lawrence killing" with
every report Of his gun and DIR. Lyon
following suit. Lawrence finished first
with nine out of ten killed and DR..
Lyon took the stand for his last shot.
The trap was sprung and the bird
sailed off almost in a straight line. DR..
Lyon took a quick aim and pulled the
trigger. 1t was now quite dark but the
spectators saw the pigeon fly into
pieces and announced Dr. Lyon the
winner Of the cup. The contest had
been close and spirited and the specta-
tors showed their appreciation of the
close score by the most generous ap-
plauSe.
In the first trial DR.. Lyon killed
twelve straight birds, missed the
thirteenth and fifteenth, concluding his
average with eight straight. Lawrence
killed six straight, missed the seventh
and fifteenth, also concluding with
eight straight.
The victory Of DIR. Lyon gives him
the possession of the cup for one year
and should he be successful in winning
1t twice more, consecutively it will
become his permanent property. Fol
lowing are the scores.
