American handicap, and at the end of

bird
The shooting stopped at the end Of
the tenth round Of the shootoff on &C.
count of darkness.
The contest will be resumed at s
o'clock tomorrow morning, and continued
until only one man without a miss re-
mains
The shoot-off commenced shortly after
o'clock, and thousands of spectators
gathered around No. set of traps where
the wing shot supremacy was to be de-
cided. So great was the crowd Of spec
tators that it required much effort on the
part of the management to keep the peo-
pie outside of the dead line. Each of
the thirty-three men tied for first honors
had a great following, and was a favorite
with some portion of the crowd. Every
good Shot met with spontaneous APP
plause, and when a miss was recorded
many expressions of regret were heard.
The first man to miss in the shoot-oft
was j. Kaintuck, of Harris, KY He
drew a hard right quarter on the first
round of the shoot-off and shot under the
bird with both barrels. "Eugenia" OF
St Louis, was the only other man to
miss out on this round. He had been
shooting in rare form up to this time
but he nesitated too long on this bird,
and although hit, the bird did not fan.
Ed Banks, of New York, Sim Glover OF
New York: w. w. Turner, of Marlin,
Tex, and w. II. Herman, of Kansas City,
each missed his bird on the next rounv.
Glover killed his bird, but it fell out OK
bounds

shootoft three more men had dropped
out of the race. They were w. r. Cross
by, of O'Fallon, ILL.,; c. B. Adams, Rock
well City, Iowa, and John E. Avery, At
lanta. Ga.
Crosby Dropped Ont.
Besides killing twenty-seven straight
in this match, Crosby made straight
scores in the Kansas City sweepstakes
and the Nitro Powder handicap. He
was looked upon as a winner by many,
and his large following of admirers was
sorely disappointed when he let a bird
get away. He shot from the thirty-two
yard mark, and his handicap was re-
sponsible for his miss. He hit the bird
and it fell dead out of bounds H. B.
Hill, of Aurora, Ind, lost a bird on the
next round. Hood Walters, of Baltimore,
and T. II. Holmes, of Chloride, Ariz.,
favorte with many of the spectators.
