One of the pleasantest features of the recent Interstate shoot at Kirkwood Park was the presence of the two lady contestants, Mrs. M. F. Lindsley, "Wanda," of Cincinnati, wife of Milt F. Lindsley, manufacturer of the King's Smokeless powder, and Annie Oakley, who is the acknowledged champion pigeon shot of her sex in the world. "Wanda" was attended by her husband, who felt well satisfied when his clever wife stood in the big match after a dozen men had dropped out, among them being some of the best pigeon shots of the country. Her score was equal to that made by such men as Captain A. W. Money, George S. McAlpin, William Wagner, W. S. Edey and W. H. Green. The quality of the birds were a little too fast even for some of the best shots, and "Wanda" can be congratulated for her pluck in entering such a contest. She used a Smith gun, 7 pounds weight, 3 drams of King's Smokeless powder, 1 1/8 ounces of No. 7 and 6 shot in Peters' shells.
