I' ti 'i LL; J r l fiREAT FEATS WITH GUNS 1 j EXHIBIT BY CRACK SHOTS AT WILD WEST SHOW. Colonel Cody and "Johnny" Baker Show Methods Used In Says ot Indian Fighting. Exhibition trick shooting is common, every day sight, often meritorious and Interesting, but the shooting by Colonel Cody and "Johnny" Baker in the Wild West is of the absolutely practical sort, and requires the very perfection of skill . in the art. Colonel Cody, in his prairie experience, both In hunting- game and fighting Indians, represents the necessi tated horseback shooting of that time, as dismounting on the lone prairie or stalking was often impracticable, dan gerous, and useless. Therefore, as near as possible with the civilised surroundings he exhibits the style of shooting from horseback, and though without the dangers of the olden times, it still has its difficulties. For in stance, different and unprepared arenas every day. unevenness of the ground where a horse's footsteps render liable severe Jolts as he lopes over hills and hollows, causes the exhibition to be more . remarkable than the auditor generally thinks. The rider has to guide his horse by muscular action of the knees, holds no , rein, has many motions to make in load i lng and unloading the gun and the ob- Jects are, thrown by an accompanying Horseman going at speed -with the same difficulties. If the statistician will figure on the number of movements of the two riders the difficulties will be apparent. "Johnny" Baker's shooting speaks for Itself. The speed of the traps, the rapidity with which the objects,, are thrown are absolute tests of skill and when the dif ferent positions from which he shoots, some so difficult as to have been Invented and executed by himself alone, are thor oughly comprehended, the auditor should understand that he is looking at the acme of trap shooting. Both Colonel Cody and Mr. Baker have stood tests in all countries they have visited with the most celebrated marks men. Notably in Paris Mr. Baker was in vited by the Tlriuers du Chasse, the mil lionaire gun club, to meet a string of their members, many famed at Monte Carlo and Ostend. Mr. Baker was placed at the mark and competed successfully with 37 gentlemen, who were all noted marks men. He then gave them an exhibition of difficulties and they tried htm out wittj some of theirs. He pleased them so well that he received a cup, a specially e truck off gold medal and a parchment making him an honorary member for life. The spectator at the Wild West will, therefore, feel assured that he is looking at an ex pert exponent In the art of trapshootlng. ON SALETODAY.

MAYOR OPPOSES SECRECY PURCHASE OF PARK LAX'D IX OPEN SESSION' ADVISED. Commissioner Lang Declares Pri vate Negotiation for Property Only Method to Secure Success. . What means shall be pursued by the Park Board in acquiring ground for pub lic parks formed the basis of a special session of the Boara yesterday afternoon. Commissioner Lang favored secrecy in negotiating for property, but Mayor Lane and Commissioners Lewis and Wilson were opposed to "executive sessions." Mayor Lane said that he beleieved it to be the best policy to transact all public business openly, as it prevents suspicion from attaching to the action of officials. "The Board of Education purchased the block for Its new high school building in absolute secrecy," said Commissioner Lan. "and that is the only way to do this kind of business. If we are going to admit the reporters and have our plana published, we may as well adver tise for bids and be done with it. If we proceed in a straightforward way to get public parks, and the newspapers or the public have a complaint, we have done our duty, and let them complain." Dr., J. R. Wilson, after there had been considerable discussion, moved that Com missioners Lang and Lewis be named as a committee to consult with City Attor-. ney Kayanaugh on the best methods ot procedure in acquiring park property, the duty of the Park Board in the premises, and any other information necessary to the carrying out of the provisions of the act creating the bond for financing the parks and boulevards system.
