J. A. r. Elliott Retains the st.
Louis Republic Cup.
Kansas City WingshOt Was In
Great Form.
KILLED 100 STRAIGHT.
w. Il. Crosby His Opponent,
Grasses 81 Birds.
ElliOtt'S Score Remarkable and
Rarely EQualed.
KILLED 100 STRAIGHT.

Kansas City, Oct. 81. A. R Elliott,
of Kansas City, proved conclusive1y
that he IS the champion wing shot of
the world when he defeated w. r.
Crosby, of Batavia, n. Y, in a match
shoot for the st. Louis Republic cup
and a purse of $500. Elliott not only
defeated his opponent with ease. but he
succeeded in killing 100 live pigeons
without missing a shot. This is most
remarkable score and has rarely been
equaled.
The shoot was all the more interest
ing when it is remembered that the
marksmen We're Iaboring under grave
disadvantages. Directly in front of the
traps was the immense framework that
supports the scenery of Pains prOduc-
ton of the Battle of Manila" The
background is of a dark blue color and
when the targets happened to be dark
birds, as was frequently the case, it
required great skill for the shooters to
hit the birds.
Although Mr.. Crosby was defeated, his
score was remarkable one as was Mr..
Elliotts. The New Yorker killed 81
BIRDS and the three that got away from
him did not escape with their lives, but
dropped dead just outside the boundary
line.
Elliott's defeat on Tuesday caused
him to be very careful yesterday and
he used his second barrel frequently
when 1t was quite unnecessary Elliott
used a pump gun and Crosby used
double barrelled hammerless.
Crosby missed his forty-ninth, fifty
seventh and ninety-seventh birds. All
of them were hard ones and although
they were all hit they were strong
enough to fly outside the boundary lines
before they fell
Crosby seemed to have the balance OF
luck in his favor on Tuesday, but the
conditions were reversed yesterday. The
greater number of the black birds and
the hard birds seemed to come Cros-
by's way. 1t is true that Elliott had
many difficult shots to make, but he
lost no time in killing his birds close
to the traps.
Elliott's sixty-sixth was a hard right
quarterer and was killed with the sec
ond barrel.
Crosby's seVenty-fourth and seventy
sixth were both very difficult shots. FL
liOtt'S Seventy-siXth was killed close to
the traps, but managed to f1utter be-
hind a trap. Elliott raised his gun to
fire again and the crowd yelled:
Don't do it, jim He doesn't need
it"
But Elliott too9k'no chances He was
afraid that by some accident the bird
might recover anees his fate was settled
when a charge from the second barrel
was sent through the trap.
ElliOtt's eighty-first was a fast left
Quarterer and Crosby's ninety-second
was a difficult shot.
A large crowd was in attendance and
the excitement was intense during the
entire match.

Has Done.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 5.-Miss Julia
Arthur presented Emile Bergerat's
More Than Queen" a drama of the

excelling any she has essayed to por-
tray.
The drama is in a prologue wherein
Napoleon first meets Josephine, and

as a. stage picture, is the coronation at
