The twenty-seventh annual tourna ment of the Nebraska Gun Club Asso ciation which cloiod laat evening is pro nounced to have been one of the best ever hold. The attendance numbered considerably over one hundred during the throe days, not all of whom, how ever,' remainod throughout the tourna ment Many of the best men in the country were present and scoros as high as 533 out of 550 targets were made. The weather was ideal, thero being an absence of stormsuor high winds, the grounds had been placed in good condi tion by the local gun club and tho ground accommodations were excellent. There was a lunch stand on the grounds which obviated the necessity of returning to town -at noon. In difForont events members of the local clut showed Up strong and ranked among the best of amateurs. Owing to the number parti cipating in the oyents the individual scores cannot be given, but wo append some of the highest scores. There were ten professional shooters present, these coming from a half doz en states and representing tho different manufacturers of ammunition. These men, shooting at 550 targets each, made the following scores: Taylor 533, German 531. O'Brien 527, Canten 522, Brown 522, Kreiger 522, Freomnn 521, Funk 515, Grose 512 and Bauman 49-1. In the amateur class the live men leading with scores, 550 targets to tho man. were Dixon 532, Varner 523, Edwards 521 and Gates 520. Dixon performed tho feat of breaking 212 targets without a miss. In tho shoot for state championship, C. C. Tappam, who lives". in -Logan county near Hoagland, won the'trophy, breaking fifty targets straight-. In this event about sixty sho6ters'partic- ipated. The scores .of the ' fivers high men were Tappam 50, Thomas '$16, Dixon 48, Bob Tappam 48 and Henry Jtebhausnji7. Tho trophy was a $50 Howard watch, and in addition to a cash prize coming from tho entry fees. Tho winner of this state championship lives on a farm withj his brothpr-rrboth bachelors and has participatqdjjn sev eral tournaments hero andjjusually at tends all the big western shcotSi- He and his brother started for North Platte in a car. but when oighteenrniles from town the car broke down and the two men walked in, carrying their gunny sacks filled with sholls which they had hand loaded. Tappam isn typical frontier farmer, he don't look like a sport, but when it comes to handling a gun he is there with tho host of them. To The Tribune man a number of tho visitors expressed their apprecia tion of tho courtesies shown them by tho members of tho local gun club; saying that there was absolutely nothing loft undone that would add to tho pleasure or success of the tourna ment. One professional who travels from coast to coast says the Buffalo Bill Gun Club is composed of as lively "wires" as he moots anywhere, and tho grounds of the club are among the best.

There was no salutatorian or valedictorian, but Supt. Tout stated during his remarks that high class honors had been won by Victor Ander son, and Marie McCabe. Tha address by Supt.

He admonished the class to uso their influence for good n'ong physical mental and moral lines, nnd by so doing make this eroat repub lic still greater and hotter. Hero is n class of thirty-three, should each use his or hor influenco alwavs for irood. for the betterment of others and for tho betterment of general conditions, tho result would be wonderful.

Extracts from Longfellow and others furthor beautiful and strengthened his address. Those who woro prcsont last night couluuot fail to tako prido in tho class of 1913, and within each of the older of the audience thero undoubtedly was tho silent wish or prayer that each of these boys and girls who nro now about to begin tho reul bnttle of life may bo succesful; muy bo good, patriotic citi zons, and by their living mako tho world hotter.
