WONDERFUL SHOOTING.

Phenomenal Performance by Elliott and Carver—Elliott’s World Record.. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 15. —Never in the history of pigeon shooting have the lovers of the sport been treated to so wonderful a contest as was given by J. A. It. Elliott and Dr. W. F. Carver at Exposition park Friday. Mr. Elliott won bj r the remarkable score of 100 -out of a possible 100. Dr. Carver got 99. Mr. Elliott has probably established a record with 50-yard boundaries that will never be equaled. The onlj’ bird lost out of the 200 was Dr. Carver’s fourth, a black straight-awaj driver. Even this one, which decided the match, fell dead just as it reached the fence.
