 Tournament to Close.
 Tomorrow afternoon the nineteenth annual tournament of the Arkansas Sportsman's Association will come to a close. In many ways it has been the greatest event of the kind ever held in the state, there being over so amateur and professionals at the grounds from early morning until it gets too dark for shooting. So far
 there have been over 10000 clay pigeons shot up and by night the 10000 provided for the tournament
 will be exhausted. The dates of the shoot conflicted with those of others or all the leading professionals Would
 
 ing dates the manufacturers had to divide up the professionals who are advertising for them. but while the numbers were lacking here, and there were not few at that, the Little Rock shoot evidently got the quality from the number of tines the squads made straight runs for 22J5 birds broken. The field, or one DOT tion of it. was very bad for shooting. Tn front of the traps on one side is
 a growing field of corn, with the corn about waist high. The pigeons is so dark the target is a good way off before the marksmen can shoot at it. On the other side cows are pas tured and come right up in front of
 the traps. The shooting is right over
 their backs, but they do not seem to
 mind it.
