itself into tableau as the climax of
the nineteenth annual tournament of
the Ohio Trap Shooters League, which
has been progressing at the fair
grounds in this city under the auspices
OF the Lakeside Gun Club of Canton
w C. Crosby of O'Fallon, H., an ex-
pert of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Co., broke the worlds record for high
est consecutive run, which he held and
NJ ade himself last year while in New
Jersey. The old record was 345 straight
kills. This was splintered yesterday
by nearly 100 birds, the famous shot
breaking 419 without miss. This rec
ord will stand, no doubt, to witness
more than one large tournament laid
under the sod. To secure the phenom-
enal run, Crosby broke 158 birds
straight on Wednesday, and yesterday
in all of the programmed events he
had clean scores. When the program

ished.
