picked up their empty shell boxes and
took their departure. 1t was a day of
capital sport. The birds were a fair
average. having few weak ones among
them and not many extremely hard
1 ones. The lack OF pair Of good dogs
for retrieving purposes delayed tho
!. shooting somewhat, but aside from this
yesterdays sport was unqualifledly
good and the shooting In general ex-'
cellent. The day proved perfect SO far
40 weather conditions were concerned
and Il was after . o'clock when the
6hoot closed.
Following the seven-bird event in the

trophy. This annual event is for teams
OF two, who must be members Of the
state association and is at ten birds
per man, all ties to be shot off. The
entrance is 81. with birds extra, making
the cost Of the entering teams Sc, or 50
per man.
Marshalltown had three teams en-
tered. Densel-Cook. Lane-Dr. Kibbey
and Abbott-J. d. Kibbey. Dubuque had
& two teams in. Heeb-O'B rien and Bon
son-Kaep. Newton had n hard shoot
ing pair in the race in the persons of
Trip and Kerr. Des Moines furnished
the winners, Miner and poor old
Charley Budd,'' as Parmalee delights to
term him. The other teams We're mem
bers Of the association who punched
up" for the team shoot. In all sthirteen
teams were entered for the trophy and
ititook 260 pigeons to furnish the raw
material for this contest alone.
This developed into a good race as 1t
Il progressed. Up to the fourteenth bird
three teams had killed straight and It
looked as IL the trophy would certainly
{ go to Newton or to one. OF the Du-.
buque teams, as up to the sixteenth
bird Newton and the Heeb-O' Brien
team had killed straight, while every
other team had dropped one or more
Lane had gone wrong on his second
bird, fast left quartering driver.
Kibbey and Abbott We're out OF the race
unless the unexpected happened and
Densel-Cook were drawn, both having
had hard luck at the beginning. Sew
eral teams were within striking dis
lance OF the leaders should they drop
one. The pace was too fast for New
ton, and with two birds each to go
they fell down badly at the finish.
Tripp missed his ninth an outgoing
right quarterer. Kerr followed with a
miss of the swift right quarterlng In

which was sufficient to put Newton
out OF the race. Dubuque also fell
down hard enough to drop entirely out
and this left the Des Moines team and
the Lane Kibbey Marshalltown team
tied for the trophy with nineteen kills
apiece. In the shoot-off Budd and Ms
ner slew four each: Lane missed his
fourth bird. This gave the trophy to
Des ,Moines. It was good shooting, the
winning team killing twenty-seven
birds out OF twenty-eight shot at. No
money went with this event, the pre-

The next event a ten-bird sweep

teen men with a desire to annex the
flrst money. The number proved an
unlucky one for all except Cook and
