ing of the three scratch or thirty-two-yard
men-Crosby, Elliott and Gilbert. Crosby,
who is shooting in perfect form, grassed all
OF his birds with ease and used only one
barrel on several of them. Gilbert also
has a straight score up TO date, but he
had two narrow escapes to-day. His tenth
bird, q strong left qUarterer, was blown
against the boundary net and luckily fell
inside. One of his birds was a fast straight
outhyer and in shooting at 1t both barrels
of his gun were discharged at once and it
was called mo bird" He missed Ii and
would have had a difficult shot for a second
barrel. Elliott, the Kansas City crack,
missed his tenth bird. The wind was blow
ing a gale and the bird, a left quarterer,
went over the left boundary like a flash.

has won many admirers at this tournament.
had a straight score at the end of the
ninth round. but she lost her tenth and
twelfth birds. Annie Oakley. did not miss
