REMARKABLE EXHIBITION OF SHOOTING MONDAY [Mil. \\|> M |(S. TOPrKNWKIN T<> til VIS ritUK KXHIWTION AT ( \\<i>i:n tax chili. Mr. kikI Mrs. Adolph Topperwein, the celebrated marksmen, will kIv* ?lit ?xh i hit ion of export uiul fancy shooting itt the Cninden Out) Club grounds, Monday afternoon, August LSth, which everybody ought to nee, as no such marvelou* shooting has | ever htM'ii .lone In tills section. It win be a revelation to nil of 'he wonderful possibilities of modern allies and ammunition in the hands of the greatest experts. Mr. Top perwein is the acknowledged' dean ol fumy and lri<*U shots, and his many leuts are of a highly sensation I al character. Mrs. Topperwein has ! ho equal among 'women for adept 1 ness in shooting. Ladles are espe cially urged to go and witness her astonishing skill with shotgun, rifle and pistol. Admission will be free | to all. Some Idea of the unusual charac ter of the exhibition given by -the Topperwelns will be gaiued by the following remarks: Adolph Top perwein, the greatest living fancy and f Lying target shot with a rifle, represents the Winchester Repeat ing Arms Co., and lives in San An tonio, Texas. Ills native state has long been noted for Its expert shoot ers and this penchant for shooting among Texans, added to his natural ability, undoubtedly accounts for the wonderful skill he dl?plays. He uses no special equipment, but or dinary Winchester rifles, shooting regular cartidges with solid ball; or in other words, cartridges such' as are sold by all dealers. lie shoots at oranges, apples, bits of coal or Ty cartridges, shells, and many ti ny objects which are all thrown in to the air and hit with either rifle or revolver. In the most remarkable exhibition of rifle shooting ever given, Mr. Topperwein shot for ten days at. 7 2,500 two and one half inch woodei blocks thrown into the air by an as sistant, missing only (J out of the entire lot and only 4 out of the first 50,000. During the shooting he made straight runs of 14,540, 13, 599, 13,292, 13,219 and- 10,383. The shooting outfit he used wus ?two Winchester automatic rifles and Winchester cartridges, and the loading of the rifles wns done by hlmpelf. Considering the almost incredible score and the tremen dous strain of such incessant shoot ing, it is unlikely that this record BIG BARBECUE PLANNED BY THE LIVE STOCK MEN I . pi(omi\i:vi si'iAKi Ks to iti: riiKSKNT-' on \\ i;i>\i;st>\ \ Al (il Si gOTII.

Other remarkable feats by Mr. Topperwein with the rifle were his scoring of 85 out of 100 2 l-*2 inch targets thrown into the air while riding at full speed in an automo bile; and the breaking of 3,507 targets without a miss, at the World' Fair in St. Louis. Mr. Topperwein is the originator of many marvelous fancy and trick shots and also of the feat -of draw ing the outlines of Indian chiefs and other pictures with bullets shot from a rifle. Rifle shooting is not his only acquirement; as he does wonderful work also- with revolver, pistol and shotgun. Mrs. Toppenwein, who shoots to demonstrate the superior quality of the American Powder Mills "Dead Shot" smokeleBB powder, is un doubtedly the premier lady shot of the world. Altho she took up shoot- J ing only a few years ago, she has startled the shooting world and en tertained many thousands of people by her great skill with rifle, shot gun and pistol. Shooting comes na tural to her, as without seeming dif ficulty she masters various kinds of shooting quickly. Her first public appearance was at the World's Fair in St. Louis, j where, with a Winchester automatic rifle, she broke. 967 out of 1,000 2 1-2 inch flying targets; and later, 1,996 out of 2,000 with a straight ! run of 1,437. Besides being a wonderful wing and fancy shot Mrs. Topperwein is a consistent shooter at the traps, and has won many high averages in open competitions, shooting against ?the best professional and amateur I shots in the world. Among her scores are 198 x 200, 24 5 x 250, 385 x.400 and 486 x 500. At San Antonio, Texas, July 18, 1908, she broke 961 x 1,000 targets thrown from regulation traps at the regu lation distance, shooting the entire number of shots in 4 hours and 3 5 minutes. At the Pacific Coast Handicap, at Seattle in 1910, Mrs. Toppenwein won high general average over a large field of the best shots of the Pacific coast and Canada. On the first day of the tournament, she made the remarkable score of 195] x 200, which included 20 doubles, and on the final day* she "broke the entire program of 100 singles In straight shots. She has broken 100 straight and bettor a great number of times, her Ibngest run being 226. Her score at the Grand American Handicap, held at Chicago ia 1910, wtiere she was the only lady shoot ing, was 96 x 100 from 19 yards. Mrs. Topperwein is the only lady in the world who ever had the honor to qualify as a national marksman in open competition, shooting at 200, 300 and 500 yards with a mil itary rifle. H?nry Rlackwell was killed by lightning at his home near Blacks burg on Monday. * Mrs. Hhiver Dead. Many hearts in Camden were saddened last Saturday when the re mains of, Mrs.' M. E.
