Presentation of Medal * to tlio Crack Shots at Bcltovuo Yoitorrtny Da kota , Texas , the Plntto nnd Missouri in Order. Yesterday wns a' most Interesting day t the rifle range. r It biased the seven- conth annual competition nnd ono of the icst over held by thu selected rlllo men f the United States military division of ho Missouri. THe1 competitors were Composed of a team of twelve selected Imrp shooters from each of the four do artmenU composing this military divi- ion , viz ; the departments of the Platte , > f Texas , of Dakota nnd of the Missouri. ! ach loam besides had two alternates ml wns commanded by a cnptain , also elected for his established skill as a hooter. The Platte team was com manded by First Lieutenant James B. ackson , of the Seventh infantry the Texas by Captain Edgar Z. Stecvor , of ho Third cavalry ; the Dakota by Captain 'razier A. Boutelle , of the First cavalry , nd the Missouri by First Lieutenant Jhnrlea J. Crnue , of the Twenty-fourth ufnntrj. There were three preliminary days of nformnl practice at the range before the iompotltion was opened. In those days ho men had the opportunity of becoming 'nmiliar with the typography of the ango nnd familiarizing themselves with ho distances , elevations nnd depressions it ground , so thnt their calculations for rapid work might not stillernnd then followed the four dnys of compotion. Yesterdny , the final day , when the scores were completed nnd medals awarded , was of course the most interesting of nil. t wns like the home-stretch on the last icat on a racecourse , nnd to its partici pants was fully as exciting , yet it was witnessed by barely n car load of specta- "ors outside of those immediately inter ested and concerned in the work. The preliminary and first three days were accompanied by the finest weather thnt could bo desired. Yesterday , however , opened unfavorably. The rnin of the early morning continued until nearly 8 o'cjock , nnd there wore mists for n time which wore finally cleared away by n still' breeze from the north nnd n little east , almost directly into the faces of the shooters. This was favorably regarded by thn Dakota team , who hnd been ac customed to practice under the same condition , but unfavorably by the Texas team , whoso oftcncst practice had been attended by a cross breeze. Yet never- Ihelcss some admirable shooting was lone by each of the teams. In some in stance Is was exceedingly close , nnd out of the whole number of shots , ns will be seen by the score , n very few points , would have changed the result. The positions defined by the regulations in the known distance range require standing nt 200 ynrds , sitting , or kneeling nt 300 and laying down at full lensrth at 500 and 600 ynrds. In 'tjie Intter the positions chosen by the contestants were cither what is known fcs tlio "Texas Grip , " with the left leg through the gun strap , and the loft arm under the head and holding the .slock of ; the gun , the legs crossed , or the "Fulton" where the shooter lies on the lint of his back with his legs in a saw-buck position ns n rest * or ttio gun.

Below the parapet nnd within few feet of the target the experience wr rather interpsling. The missiles patloru against and through the tnrgots nt mi dium rnngn without other sound thn that of striking , the 'projected force ( tho'wcnpons being so great thnt thci was.no sound of motion until the longt range was reached , , when the singin sound pf the bullets began to resemblq t a slight extent something of the singin sound familiar to those accustomed to the use of the old fashioned weapons of quar ter of n century ngo.

The silhouette cannot possibly stand in ns distinct relief before the eye ns a solid figure , and an oven foundation of the surface upon which the figures nre placed , is apt to confuse the sight , yet the sKtrmlsh resulted in a score of 50.07 per cent of bits , which is regarded ns nbout the best record so far tundo In that classs of prac tice. tice.This ended the contest , nnd nftcr the close the various teams nnd 'details assembled in dress parade , nnd in the ab sence of General Terry , General Crook presented the medals to the successful contestants , in n brief speech , in which ho simply thanked them for their earnest attention to the duties upon which they had entered , nnd congratulated them upon their success.

Several years ago Frank Mayo said in this city he had played "Davy Crockett" so often that ho frequently felt while making up for the part he would co crazy because of the consciousness that the people seemed irrevocably to demand that he piny nothing cl = o for them. At the time , he was conscientiously endea voring to find n new piece , nnd his faith ful nnd persistent cllbrt has since been so rewarded in this respect that , for nil time , his connection with the frontiers man ought oharitably to bo consigned to oblivion. Mr. Mayo can nnd does play other characters and two of these are in Nordeck" nnd "Tho Roynl Guard. " His house last night was full to the ceiling ami the play and Mr. Mayo , ns well ns Miss Alice Fischer , Miss Helen Hand nnd Miss Dolores Marbourg , made pronounced hits. The same piece will bn played this afternoon with "Xordeck" for to-night. THE OKA.KD OPKRA. The Mikado was again suns last night nt this house to n largo audience , which encored almost every nria and chorus in the piece. A number of original hits were introduced with happy effect. The whole company seemed disposed to go to extremes to please , and the fnet was not overlooked by the audience.

HOW OUR BATTLES WERE WON Shown by the Big 0 , A , R. Sham Fight Yesterday. VETS" AND INFANTRY IN LINE. An Intorcwtlne Engagement In Which COO Soldiers Quickly Dlapuio of IIO.OOO Hound * or Ammunition. The early morning rain of yesterday had a discouraging cfl'oct upon the attendance at Camp John A , Logan. The ground became damp nnd many of the cnmpors found it impossible to light their fires for breakfast. The storm impressed some people with the belief thnt it would continue throughout the dny , nnd this thought impelled thousands of them to take the most convenient trains for home. The sun , however , cnmit out bright nnd warm before 10 o'clock nnd soon dried the ground nnd the damp ened tents. Each incoming trnin , however , brought hundreds of visitors , mainly from the city nnd these spent the dny in viewing thn sights , conversing witli tlio veterans nnd finally witnessing the sham battle , which took place in the afternoon on the parade ground. The attendance wns such timt not alone the visitors' stand wns full but the sides of the square were lined by human beings thrco and four rows deep. The battle was contested without respect to federal or confederate lines. The in fantry was divided , the larger nnd more successful body being under tun com mand of Major Butler , of the Second in fantry , the gallant and experienced otlicor in charge of the United Htntcs troops on the crounil , the weaker being under the direction of Major Porter. The veterans were also dividedtlio victors being under he command of Colonel Culver , and ho opposing side by S. B. Jones. There were about six hundred soldiers engaged in the light. The command of Major Butler lirst took up n position on the west side of thu field and bivoucked. They were soon followed by Colonel WoodrutFs light battery , who sought seclusion in the bushes in the northwest corner of the unro , wlioro water wns convenient. bout two hundred veterans took up position in the rear of the infantry and soon alter the enemy put out n picket Hquiul , which wns met and driven back by a similar body from Mnjor Butler's ' troops. Another and n larger squad was sent out by Mnjor Porter , which pressed an opposing force back almost upon the lines , when relief was afforded them by the main body , with the result that Per ter's Union were ngain driven back. Finally , the latter officer determined on nn attack , nnd led his troops to the front , where they were resisted by superior numbers nnd prevented from going beyond the middle of the Held. Be tween the opposing lines n distance of perhaps two hundred feet intervened. There they halted nnd opened nnd contin ued a mule of musketry for five mm- itcs , during which time each soldier lircd as frequently as his skill at manip ulating the rifle would allow him. \ ic- tory seemed uncertain , but nt the bugle's command Colonel WoodrutPs battery dnsued to the scene nnd poured into the Porter men , with the effect that the Intter dropped back out of sight of the people in the main stand. They made another resistance , however , when the Butler command and Woodruff's battery again made it warm for them for live minutes more , when they finnlly gnvo up ttie con test nnd Hod. The veterans nccom- panied each side in its retreat and advnnco in the regnlir conflict , hut beyond this took no actual part. There were ninny delays in the bnttlc , but on the whole it was quite n commendable struggle nnd ennbled nomu people to reali/.o how dreadful war maybe bo when contending forces struggle for supremacy. Twenty thousand rounds of ammunition were provided for the fight nnd all were consumed. To-day the veterans will return to their homes , the camp will be dismantled and the NcbrasKa soldiers reunion of 1887 , will be a memory of the past. S , , .
