TRAP TOURNEY
 A BIG SUCCESS
SHOOTERS FROM ALL SEC TIONS OF SOUTH PARTICI- PATE IN TWO DAYS CONTEST HERE.

HERE.
 The first annual registered trap tournament held under the auspices of the Marianna Gun Club came to a close yesterday afternoon after two days of exceptionally fine sport, participated in by more than sixty of the crack trap shooters in this section of the south. The tourna- ment was remarkable in several re- spects, most important of all being the high scores made. It is doubtful if such splendid scores have been made at any tournament where the major portion of the shooters were amateurs.
 The first day the participants shot at one hundred targets and on the second day the events called for two hundred targets. The sensation of the shoot the first day was the per- feet score made by J. B. Duncan of Lucy, Tenn. MT. Duncan is rather advanced in years and is the father of two fine boys, both of them took part in the contests. One of the boys, Boyd Duncan, recently qualified as a professional and is now with the Winchester Company The other son, F. M. Duncan, is not a professional but is splendid shot. The elder Duncan broke 10C straight targets. Boyd Duncan broke 98 and F. M. Duncan broke I97. The elder Duncan continued his excellent shooting on the second day, running straight twenty-five before he dropped target.
 M. Farrell of Little Rock, wa: high man with 289 out of a possi bic 300, and B. G. Welbourn o1 Marvell, was second with 284. Mrs J.. L. Doggett of Clarksdale, Miss. won the ladies' prize. Her SCOT. the first day was S8 out of poss ible 100, and on the second day sh' broke 188 out of possible 200.
 Entire credit for the success o- the tournament is due D. P. Hil ton, president of the Marianna Cur Club. MT. Hilton is an old tral shooter, having participated in tour naments all over the south for man! years. He initiated the tournament looked after all the details, placed the program in the hands of those who susally take part in this sport He has worked day and night tt provide every convenience and com fort for the distinguished visitor! and to make them feel that Mari anna is a live, wide-awake town filled with hospitable people anC good sports. Of course MT. Hiltor was enthusiastically assisted by tht members of the Marianna Gun Cluf and by scores of citizens who art not members. Many of the visitors were entertained in private home! and were shown every possible cour tesy and attention. They left here last night with expressions of praise for the royal manner in which they had been entertained and with tht declaration they would certainly strain a point to come to the next annual tournament which will bt held in 1921.
 MT. Hilton has not had time tc total up all the scores and announce all the winners. The Courier-Indes gives below the score for the first and second days:
