In addition to the above there were seven sweepstake events shot 

 on the third set of traps, Ave 10-target races and two at 15 targets. In. 

 these events nearly all different systems were tried, some were known 

 angles, some unknown angles, some reversed angles, and some were 

 unknown traps, one man up. The entries in these events ranged from 

 26 to 33, four moneys in each event, all of which was pretty well cut 

 up.

Reust, Sexton and Liter got 25 each, and then Liler broke 5 more, 

 enough to win first prize— an L. C. Smith hammerless gun. Rickmer, 

 Stevenson, Calhoun, Osgood. Thornton, Barre, Linderman, Erhardt 

 and Horton were in for second on 24 ; Horton scored 9 out of 10, 

 which was too many for the others in his class, and thereby won the 

 gun case. W. D. Bush did the same thing for those who had tied him 

 ou 23, and he now sports a new shooting blouse.

Osgood, Georgenson, Mclihany, Buker and Calhoun all broke 20 

 straight. The first prize was a duck boat, and to win it Calhoun had 

 to break 25 more straight, as Buker evidently wanted it as badly as he 

 did, Buker scoring only one less than Calhoun, or 44 out of 45. Six 

 men tied for second prize, a pair of oars ; 5 straight was enough to 

 win them and Gilbert got them. Barre won third prize— a folding 

 boat seat— by scoring 10 straight, which neither Clyde, Henry nor 

 Stevenson could equal.

Only three sweeps were shot to-day, one 10 and two 15-target events, 

 averaging about 25 entries each. So much time was consumed in 

 shooting the world's championship contest that No. 15 event had to 

 go over to the next day. 



THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. 



This was the most important event of the tournament and 31 shoot- 

 ers entered the contest. The conditions were 150 targets per man, 

 entrance price of targets, reversed angles; that is, the shooter when 

 at No. 1 trap will get a bird from No. 5; at No. 2, a bird from No. 4; 

 at No. 3, a bird from that trap; at No. 4, one from No. 2, and at No. 5, 

 one from No. 1. 



The trophy is subject to a challenge and must be defended every 60 

 days if challenged. Anyone desiring to challenge the holder of the 

 trophy must deposit $50 with Mr. James A. Whitfield, sporting editor 

 of the Kansas City Star, who will notify the holder of the trophy to 

 prepare himself to defend the same within the limit of the above 

 specified time. The;$50 goes to the winner of the contest. The 

 holder of the trophy has the right to name the ground where said 

 contest shall take place, and anyone to become the permanent pos- 

 sessor of the trophy must successfully defend it three times consecu- 

 tively. 



The contest was a great one from start to finish. When each 

 shooter had shot his first string of 25, Buker led, having scored 24, 

 while at the end of the 50th round Henry had taken the lead, having 

 scored 46, 23 in each string of 25. When 75 birds had been shot by 

 each contestant, Calhoun had the lead, having 67 breaks to his credit. 



The end of the race found Sexton ahead, he having finished strongly, 

 scoring 47 out of his last 50, and winning the trophy with the fine score 

 of 90. Henry was second with 87, Jack Parker third. Only twenty-one 

 men shot through, the others withdrawing when they saw they had 

 no chance to win. Osgood had a chance for a possible 89, he having 

 scored 64 out of 75, but as this could not win, he did not shoot his last 

 string o( 25, having a very sore cheek where his gun was punishing 

 him. The others who did not finiBh were Leeman 50 out of 75. Brown 

 42 out of 75, Horn 55 out of 75, Erhardt 54 out of 75, N. Williams 46 

 out of 75, Liler 05 out of 85. Stevenson 55 out of 75, Sergeant 55 out of 

 75, Clark 25 out of 40, Andy Thomas 31 out of 50. The contest began 

 at 1 o'clock and lasted until after 7. Several heavy showers passed 

 over the ground during this time, while the wind also blew very 

 strongly at times. Scores in this match were as follows:

Osgood, Buker, Henry and Gilbert tied for the medal on Z\ and 

 after Buker and Osgood were shot out, Gilbert fixed it with Henry 

 that he should win; each broke 20 straight and then they shot at five 

 more. Henry was to miss his last one, but Gilbert let his last one get 

 away and so they again tied; they shot Ave more, but Henry never 

 tried to hit any more. Gilbert shot out the 24 and won second. 

 Erhardt bought Barre's interest in the shoot, which was third prize. 



NOTES OF THE SHOOT. 



Buker broke 99 out of 100 on the first day. 



On Tuesday Sexton only missed three birds in the programme event 

 and only eight birds in all sweepstakes and ties, shooting at 246. The 

 sweepstake events were unknown angles, reversed traps, and unknown 

 traps, one man up. 



The Joplin delegation was the largest from anyoneplace. Thenext 

 annual shoot of the Owl Association will be held at Joplin next May, 

 and the Joplin hoys say this will be the banner shoot of the associa- 

 tion. They will add at least SI ,000 in cash to the purses. 



The Kansas shooters are agitating the subject of holding a live-bird 

 tournament in October, at which the live-pigeon championship of the 

 State is to be settled. The Weir City Gun Club will donate a trophy to 

 cost not less than $100. The contest will take place in October at Weir 

 City. W. W. Mclihany is the moving spirit in the matter. 



Batchelor was the only black powder fiend at this shoot. 



T. H. Cohran, a colored shooter from Pleasant Hill, Mo , participated 

 in the shoot. 



Mr. Morgan, from Joplin, was taken quite sick on Wednesday and 

 had to return home. 



"Jim" Elliott had two Winchester guns on the grounds. These 

 guns were in great demand when the Winchester event was shot; 

 nearly half the contestants used them in this event. 



Charlie Budd won the biggest pot during the shoot in one of the 

 sweeps which had thirty-three entries; he broke 15 straight; this paid 

 $16 50. 



•'Jack" Parker won first prize In the Fairmont Park event— a very 

 fine clock. 



The E. C. Powder squad, consisting of Erhardt, Calhoun, Mclihany, 

 Sexton, Green and Menefee, broke 114 out ot 120. 



"Airy-Lou-HanU" was a sight to behold; he wore a maroon-colored 

 shooting blouse on the front of which was painted E. C, while on 

 the back was the representation of a shattered target. The inscrip- 

 tion read "Empire broken with E. C." He wore a high campaign hat 

 of gray color, over which were r ainted empire targets and E. C. labels. 

 The hat had been tossed up and a whole squad had taken a shot at it. 

 The result was that it was perforated with shot. In the holes he had 

 stuck a lot of feathers and across the bridge of his nose he had stuck 

 an E. C. label. Altogether he looked "very much Indian." Lou was 

 strictly out for sport. 



Chester Dixon was the youngest shooter present. 



In the shoot for the buggy, a 50-bird race, Buker, the first man up, 

 didn't do a thing but smash 'em all. After that at least a dozen men 

 withdrew from the shoot. Some suddenly discovered that they had 

 the headache; others had sore shoulders, while some were out of 

 shells. A gun crank can always find an excuse to suit the occasion. 



Although Osgood's gun had kicked all the skin off bis face, over 

 which he wore a bunion plaster, he ran a hundred straight on the 

 last day. 



The following number of targets were thrown each day: Tuesday, 

 12,370; Wednesday, 11,500; Thursday, 12,750; Friday, 6,630, making a 

 grand total of 43,250 targets thrown during the tournament.

The San Antonio Mid-Winter Shoot. 



Chicago, 111., July 20.— Word is at hand from Messrs. Guessaz and 

 George, who were among the able Texas contingent who struck the 

 Northern trap circuit this summer, that Texas is, goiDg to do some- 

 thing herself this winter in the way of big attractions to the shooting 

 craft. Mr. Guessaz, in a letter to Mr. Noel Money, of New York, fur- 

 nishes the last word on the subject in one sentence: 



"Look out for San Antonio Mid-winter tournament, Jan. 10, 11 and 

 12, $2,500 added." 



Mr. Money says that he surely will go South to this shoot, and so I 

 think will a great many other Northern shooters. Through the 

 columns of Forest and Stream the latter have become acquainted with 

 this strange old city of the Southwest and know the manner of men 

 inhabiting it, and of late increasing numbers of sportsmen from the 

 North have been availing themselves of the delights of the finest win- 

 ter climate of the United States, so that each winter there is quite a 

 Northern colony at San Antonio. When to the fall tale of the pleas- 

 ures of a trip to this queen city of the Southwest there shall be added 

 the inducements of a full-fledged modern trap tournament, conducted 

 on the broad-gauged and open-handed Texas lines, it is only a cer- 

 tainty that the winter visitors to old Santone will be increased by 

 scores. With the known ability for hustling and the absolute genius 

 for entertaining which the men behind this enterprise possess, the 

 first Santone mid-winter can only be one thing— an unmitigated, 

 blooming, red-hot success. Bear this m mind when the blizzards 

 be g 1D - E. Hough.

CHICAGO TRAPS. 



Match for Boys. 



Chicago, HI., J uly 20.— A match at live birds, for boys under 15 years 

 of age, is in contemplation, the conditions of which are thus given by 

 Mr C. H. Bisson, of this city, whose son, Master Alfred Biason, is 

 well known as a boy shooter with rifle or shotgun: 



"A match for the junior live bird championship of America (boys 

 under 15 years of age) will take place at Watson's Park Aug. 3, 1895. 

 The entrance will be $5, or more if not enough contestants are on the 

 grounds to make it an object for the winner. The match will be at 15 

 live birds, American rules (except 10-gauges barred). When the 

 holder of the badge is over 15 years of age be will have to turn it over 

 to the secretary of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association, and 

 will also have to execute a bond in the sum of §50 to guarantee the pro- 

 duction of the badge at the next contest. The emblem is a beautiful 

 bronze, gold and oxidized silver badge presented by C. H. Bisaon, of 

 Chicago,.for his boy's entrance in the match. The emblem has two 

 American flags crossed, surmounted by a spread eagle; the body of 

 the badge has a pigeon on the wing surrounded by the motto. Any 

 boy challenging for the emblem after any general mateh will have to 

 deposit the sum of $50 with the secretary of the Illinois State Sports- 

 men's Association, and the holder will have to cover said amount 

 within ten days or forfeit the medal." 



The match is to be shot Aug. 3 if all goes well. Among boys under 

 15 who are eligible and who it is hoped will be present are Master 

 Chas. Burr, of Coldwater, Mich. ; Masters Guy McDonald, Weinhardt 

 and Burnham all of Chicago, and Master Clarence Long, of Lafayette,
