Fancy Shooting.

Friday afternoon, at the grounds of the Pine Bluff Gun Club, in the presence of a concourse of enthusi- astlc sportsmen, those champion marksmen, Messrs. Bollo o. Heiks, of Dayton, Ohio, and B. A. Bartlett, of Buffalo, New York, gave exhibi- tions of their marvellous skill with the rapid firing Winchester maga- zine shot guns.
 Nothing equaling their shooting and proficiency with the wonderful shot gun was never before witnessed in this city. The gentlemen, as a specimen of rapid firing, would eject cartridge shells from their guns and hit them. before they fell to the ground. Another feat was the throwing of four targets into the air at one time and breaking all of them before they fell to the earth. Another, and more difficult feat, was, by rapid and accurate firing, keeping tin can that had been tossed into the air from falling to the earth until each gentleman had filled and fired every shot in their magazines several times. The feat called "a lazy man splitting kind ling wood, was wonderful. For this feat white pine box was thrown into the. air and so rapidly and constantly did the shooters pump lead into 1t that tbe box dis appeared and nothing but small spIinters fell to the ground.
