GOOD SHOOTING.
Some Excellent Scores Made at the Gun
Club Grounds.


Club Grounds.
Great Falls, July 1.-THE shooting
out at the grounds of the Great Falls
Rod and Gun club was as good to-day
as it was poor on the former occasion,
and the maguatrap worked to perfec-
ton. The programme was again trif1e
too long for the number of shooters VINO
desired to participate in each event,
but this is fault that is easily RENE
died and one which should contribute
largely to the success of the club. Up
the time when the telegraph office
closed but three events had been COM
pleted and the firing squads were at
work on the fourth. or course the con-
tst for the $50 prize medal, a beautiful
thing in itself, was the chief event Of
the afternoon and some excellent rec
ords were made in it. The medal goes
to p. B. Gallagher, who now has to win
it a second time from his two competit-
orS.
The first event, four singles, was won
by George /. Beckett of Sand Coulee,
who took 81 dead birds. Gallagher,
Benner and Irwin tied for second place,
each with So birds to their credit. In
the shoot-off Gallagher got it. Cum
mings got third place on a score of SO.
The fourth and fifth were tied and as
yet have not been shot off.
The second event, 10 pair doubles, was
won Dy Blckett VINO got IL out OF the
20 birds and, what adds to his triumph,
used a pump gun. Pierson of Sand
Coulee took second. The third was a
tie, with Charles Stidwell fourth.
The third event was the medal con-
test, and in this three men tied for first
on score of 36 each-Gallagher, Bick-
EFT and Frazier. On the first shoot off
of 10 birds each, each man got nine
birds. In the second shoot-off Gallagher
got 10 straight, while his opponent each
missed one. Gallagher's score in the
entire contest was IS dead birds out of
the 60. He will be open to contest by
Beckett and Frazier.
Since the shoot-off the other day the
field beyond the trap has been covered
with nice growth of young oats,
which make a better background for
the shooters. The only Improvement
which could be suggested would be to
move the grand stand for visitors back
a few PAGES. They could then see just
as well, and besides making more room
for the contestants, the spectators
themselves would be moved back be-
yond the direct conclusion of the shots.
AS it is, the grounds are said by sports
men to be the best in the state. The
day was excellent, and that no doubt
accounted for the shots that were made
and the general record. 1t was hot and
still. For once the usual Great Falls
zephyr forgot to blow, and there was
no need of any calculation for wind.
The birds moved smoothly, and there
were practically no broken ones.

bandaged up, the boys were still laugh
ing. One would go to the telephone and
cali up the Troy laundry and ask for
the proprietor, Mr.. Wiedeman. Then
about this conversation would ensue:
rs this Mr.. Wiedeman? Yes. Will
you take $4,000 for your filly? I I'M
derstand she is getting into very good
form. No? Well, am sorry, but that
is about all ! can think of Offering for
her just now. Goodbye, Mr.. Wiede-
man."
Then Wiedeman would go uptown
and tell the boys of the offer he had
received for 1.-The filly." And the boys
would line up and grin when he said
that If the FLY was worth $4,000 to an
other man, she was worth that to him.
The boys had heaps of fun. They even
concocted letter from Walker Bros.
offering Wiedeman S20J for the filly.
and this offer was likewise refused 1t
was very funny until 1t became tire
some, for no amount of chaff ever made
the owner lose faith in his animal
They still claim that Wiedeman cannot
drive a pair of draft horses let alone a
speedy animal, but Wiedeman seems to
continue knocking out records and
sometimes they forget themselves far
enough to admit that the mare may
turn out all right by and by provided
someone gets hold of her who can drive
and understands horses.

Gossip Of the
Sporting World

The yacht Shamrock is not yet ready
to engage in trial races. Workmen are
still engaged in painting the craft and
fixing it's tackle. 1t is hoped that it
will be ready for preliminary spin
soon, when, it is expected, the Prince of
Wales will be present.
The Yachting World says that the
fact that the yacht Shamrock grounded
where it did a few years ago shows that
the challenger for the Americas cup
draws upward of 20 feet of water. The
trial races between the Shamrock and
the Britannia will certainly take place
in the Solent. despite reports to the
contrary. The Shamrock's mainsail Is
the largest cutter mainsail ever bent
in this country and presents beautiful
spectacle. The canvas alone weighs
nearly 1850 pounds.
THE Columbia is surely fast boat
and ought to win" This is the verdict
of all who watched it's performance
Thursday last against the older boat,
the Defender. They figure that with
it's sails fixed as they should be it
ought to beat the Defender from five to
eight minutes in 30-mile race. Hubert
w, Leeds, representing the owners, was
asked how Mr.. Iselin and those on
board of the Columbia regarded its
sailing. Its performance was first
rate, Salu lie, anu we are all very
much pleased indeed with it's work. We
hope that it will do much better when
hts sails fit better"
The report that Sir Thomas Lipton's
challenger, the Shamrock, will not en-
gage in any preliminary matches seems
to be correct, and on this account we
shall not be able to get the line on the
boat that we otherwise would.
By the way, July % is destined to be
an Interesting day, for then, you know,
the big guns of our own colleges, Har-
ward and Yale-it is proper now to al
ways mention Harvard first in this con-
nection-meet Oxford and Cambridge
on the athletic field at London, says
the sporting editor of the Omaha
World-Herald. Our team Is due to ar
rive over there to-day or tomorrow,
and we will await with interest to see
how they shape up on foreign soil. The
English teams are in hard training at
Tunbridge Wells-of course you know
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-07-17

where Tunbridge Wells are-and they
expect to eat up our boys blood raw.
However, we will show EN- a trick or
two worth knowing when it comes to
fiingin' the hammer and making the
high jump. We are willing to concede
them the hurdle and the long distance
events, but there we balk. The ousting
of Burke and Quinlan from our team
on the score that they have overstepped
the lines of pure amateurship makes a
big hole i'm our prospects, but We'll
beat 'em out anyway. The Prince of
Wales and the Duke and Duchess of
York are going to be at the meet and
if the walkin' wasn't so bad would go
over myself.

TURNING THE LAUGH. +
Edith w. Is Making tho Wise Ones Cue 50
Again.

Great Falls, July ia dispatch in
Friday mornings Standard attracted
the attention of every horseman in the
city and excited considerable talk. 1t
was the press dispatch from the Peoria,
ILL.,, race track and the part in it of in
terest to Great Falls people was the
announcement that Edith w. won the
$1,000 pacing event for the PIP class,
pacing the last heat in 2:06A. Edith
w. was one of the band of horses own
ed by Val Laubenheimer five or six
years ago. She was by Ben Lomond
jr., out of Montana Maid, she by Mar
tinet and she began to show her breed
ing as a yearling. At that time she
was taken to Helena and driven there
by George Burris in :3S. Later she
went wrong, and from being an animal
whose owner would not take $1,000 for
her, she was thought a costly buy when
John w. Wiedeman of this city finally
took her for $3.50. AS a 2-year-od at
Anaconda she established the state rec
ord for pacing. Then she went east,
still a 2-year-old and made a mark of
1928 at Omaha. Now she has lowered
her record, as stated above, to 2:06A.
The inside history of the animal is
amusing. After she had gone wrong as
a yearling, Wiedeman, who owned no
horses at the time, but had an inordin-
ate love for anything that could pull
sulky, was looked upon by the local
horSemen as an easy mark and their
combination to work Edith W. off on
him at $3.50 was the joke of the season.
Wiedeman brought his buy home and
began to work her at the track across
the river. The boys would listen to his
reports on her progress with knowing
looks and sometimes even gave him the
horse laugh to his face. They all agreed
that he ought not to be allowed to drive
a horse; that, in fact, he was probably
the worst imitation of driver that
had ever chased by the white topped
posts. He was running the filly, if such
a thing was possible, they asserted re-
peatedly. But John kept pegging away.
Soon he began to tell the boys what
time she was making on the quarters
and again they laughed. He had either
gone crazy on the horse or he could not
hold a watch and drive at the same
time, or he was bluffing-they We're not
sure just which explanation to take.
Finally one of the boys held the watch
on the little bay FLY. At the end of
the heat he merely shook his head and
said his watch had gone wrong and he
was honest in his belief. Then others
held watches on Edith W., and they,
TOO, said that their watches had slipped
a cog and stopped while the red mare
went around the circle. Their conf
dence in their watches was only re-
stored when Edith w. set the pace over
at the Anaconda meeting. There Wiede-
man was considered such rotten driv-
err that the judges pulled him out of
the sulky and put another man UP.
When the filly returned from the In
dependence track, sore and bruised in
a railway accident, and Wiedeman was
sitting in the sulky behind her with a
cIutch laid on the seat and one foot
