WESTERN TRAPS. 



HAVE YOU GOT A BOY? 



Chicago, 111., Aug. 9 — All shooters of this vicinity should bear in 

 mind the dates of Aug. 30 and 31, and be ready to turn out then for a 

 two days' shoot on the pleasant grounds of the Cicero Gun Club, a nice 

 quarter of an hour's ride on the fast electric road"which connects 

 with the Madison street cable. By making a good turnout at this 

 shoot, they will be doing a good thing for themselves and incidentally 

 doing good to others. The occasion is the first meeting of the Cook 

 County Trap-Shooters' League, that is to say, the second day of the 

 shoot will represent that meeting, but the tournament for both days, 

 under the auspices of the League, is a benefit shoot for Mr. Ohas. 

 Grubbs, who will manaee the affair in its entirety on both days and 

 take all receipts. Shooters will heartily patronize this event when 

 they learn that Mr. Grubbs takes this' means of getting at a little 

 ready money for the purpose of sending his son to New Mexico for his 

 health. The boy is suffering from a lung trouble and needs to get 

 into a better climate. He is the son of a big-hearted shooter, who has 

 many big-hearted friends among our shooters. This I am sure is 

 enough to say, except to repeat that the dates are Aug. 30 and 31. 

 Come to Charlie Grubbs's shoot. Montgomery Ward & Co. furnish traps 

 and targets. Don't forget Charlie Grubbs. 



THE NEW LEAGUE. 



As announced briefly by telegraph on the evening of organization, 

 the new Cook County League is now ready for business. At the meet- 

 ing of organization there were only about a dozen men present and 

 only three clubs were represented, but this is by no means any criterion, 

 and for the League there is nothing to predict but a pleasant success. 

 It is to be hoped that this may prove true in some measure of the target 

 shooting question in Chicago. This is a great big city, but when it 

 comes to a target tournament it is about the poorest city on earth. 

 Perhaps after a time this organization will better knit together the 

 split-up members of the shooting body of Chicago, and make it pos- 

 sible to give a modern target tournament here which will bring out 

 the proper number of shooters, and overset the strangely conserva- 

 tive methods of this city in such matters. 



The plan of the League is to hold monthly shoots. The first one 

 will be held at Cicero Gun Club grounds, Aug. 31; the second at 

 Eureka Gun Club grounds, Sept. 21; the third at Garfield grounds, 

 Oct. 19. There will be suitable season prizes, also a League team 

 trophy, the latter to go to the highest club per cent Mr. W. P. Mus- 

 sey, of the well-known Chicago shooters' rendezvous at 106 Madison 

 street, generously offers to furnish the trophy for 1895, and this guar- 

 antees something handsome. There is a $5 initiation fee and the yearly 

 dues are $5. The competition is at 25 targets per man, targets at 2 

 cents. Live-bird shoots may be arranged by the committee, but tar- 

 gets will be the chief concern Stress will be placed on the wind-up 

 of the season, the Thanksgiving Day shoot, which we may hope to see 

 develop into an interesting Chicago fixture. As was stated earlier, 

 there are 25 gun clubs in Chicago, with at lease 600 shooters on their 

 rosters If half of these can be galvanized into suitable energy, we 

 ghould see some shooting here in the future. 



FRANKLIN' — GORTSCH. 



A match between Geo. Franklin, President of Evanston Gun Club, 

 and C. Gortsch, of South Chicago, was shot at Roby, suburb, on Aug. 

 4. The race was close, as both men killed straight to the eleventh 

 bird, when Gortsch allowed a slow right quarterer to get away, only 

 to fall dead out of bounds. The birds were "soft" shooting and from 

 three traps, 50yds. boundary, 25 birds, for $25 a Side, Illinois rules.

KANKAKEE SHOOT. 



The three days' shoot at Kankakee, Aug. 7-9, was a nice little affair, 

 entries 15 or 20' pretty regularly. Tom Marshall allowed Keithburg to 

 go without a mayor while he attended the shoot. Abe Kleinman, 

 Eddie Bingham, W. H. Skinner, Oswald von Lengerke and others from 

 this neck of woods were on hand. R. L. Trimble, the Kentucky 

 champion, came up from Covington and added a few more lines of 

 laurel to his collection, taking high average each day and breaking 146 

 out of 160 targets shot at. Follewing are winners for each day.

elsewhere. 



The Lake Geneva shoot of last week is reported very successful. 

 There are numbers of small tournaments going on all around in the 

 country. These small shoots are worth far more to the sport of trap- 

 shooting than the great tournaments. 



PECATUR SHOOT. 



Chan. Powers, of Decatur, 111., writes in regard to the coming tour- 

 nament of the Independent Gun Club, of that city, Aug. 21 and 22, 

 that inquiries for programmes are coming in so fast tnat the shoot 

 seems to be sure of success. The programme is unique and snappy. 

 It says that targets will be shot at 1J^ cents, that balloons are going 

 to be scarce. No black powder loaas will be allowed; nobody will 

 lose a shot; nobody will be barred or handicapped. The events are 

 varied, but practical. E. Hough.

Trap in Iowa. 



Des Moines, la., Aug. 9.— Inclosed please find scores of two matches 

 shot to-day on Des Moines Gun Club grounds of this city. 



The first match was between Mr. Christianson, of Randall, and Mr. 

 Peterson, of Coon Rapids, la., 50 live birds each, for $50 a side. The 

 first 15 birds were wet and did not fly well, but the rest were a fair lot, 

 and but few had to be flushed. There was quite a strong wind to help 

 the birds along, and some fine shooting was done by both contestants. 

 Mr. Christianson used an L. C. Smith and Mr. Peterson a Parker gun. 

 Mr. Christianson scored 45 to Mr. Peterson's 43, and won. Score:

The second match was at 50 bird3 each between Christianson, of 

 Randall; Miller, of Oskaloosa, and Crissman, of Ottumwa. The birds 

 were a good lot and the match was close and exciting. The purse was 

 $50 a corner, the winner to take the pot of $150. Christianson won by 

 the narrow margin of one bird over Miller. This was the first match 

 Crissman had ever shot on the grounds, and he was somewhat handi- 

 capped on this account. There is some talk of another match of 

 the same kind between the same gentlemen. All three contestants 

 used Smith guns:

Union and Endeavor. 



Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 12.— Editor Forest and Stream; Following 

 the suggestion in Forest and Stream of Aug. 10, the Union G. C„ of 

 Springfield, and the Endeavor G. C, of Jersey City, have arranged to 

 shoot a series of team races. The first to be decided on Union's 

 grounds Aug. 31. Conditions: Seven to ten man teams, 25 targets per 

 man, entrance price of targets at 2 centB each. 



Ac the regular meeting of Endeavor G. C. on Aug. 9, in view of the 

 dissatisfaction expressed as to the way targets were thrown at the N. 

 J. T, S. League contest on June 21], it was decided to have a new set of 

 traps in position for our fifth annual Labor Day tournament, Sept. 2, 

 and to have the targets thrown to comply with American Association 

 rules. Everything possible will be done to give entire satisfaction to 

 visiting sportsmen, and no unfair dealing will be practiced or toler- 

 ated. ■ J. A. Cheveung, Sec'y Endeavor G. C, 



The Binghamton Tournament. 



Binghamton, N. V., Aug. 8.— The two-days 1 tournament, which was 

 brought to a close this evening, was a very pleasant affair, all those 

 who took part in it being pleased with the sport afforded for their 

 amusement by the management. The weather on the first day was 

 threatening in the morning, but cleared up later, and a brisk wind 

 kept the atmosphere cool. To-day it was clear and pleasant, with 

 quite a high wind blowing. 



Among those present; outside the members of the home club, were: 

 Neaf Apgar, of Evona, N. J.; Gus E. Greiff, of New York, representing 

 Von Lengerke & Detmold and Schultze Powder; P. Adams, New 

 York; A. G. Courtney, D. Lefever and George Mann, of Syracuse, N. 

 Y., the two former, of course, looking after the interests of the Lefe- 

 ver Arms Co. ; Sim Glover, Rochester, N. Y. ; E. D. Fulford and his 

 brother John, from Utica; A. W. Adams, Chicago, Ills.; Knight, Cort- 

 land, N. Y., and Paddleford and Brainard, Sherburne, N. Y. 



The scores show that Neaf Apgar had his shooting clothes on and 

 was pointing his gun about right. During the two days of the shoot 

 he fired at 405 targets, known traps, unknown angles, and broke 383, 

 scoring a percentage of 94.3. In the programme events on the first 

 day he broke 95.6 per cent.; in all the events on that day he scored 95 

 per cent., breaking 228 out of 240— a gait rapid enough for anybody. 

 It may be of interest to note that on that day he went straight 9 times 

 in 18 events, and missed but one target in six other events. Glover 

 and Kendall were second in the averages on the first day in the pro- 

 gramme events, each breaking 93.7 per cent. That Glover was in 

 hard luck is evidenced by the fact that in eight of the twelve 

 programme events he missed going straight by a single target. On 

 that day he shot a Winchester repeating shotgun, shooting his old 

 gun on the second day. Mr. Kendall's average is one that any expert 

 might be proud of. E. D. Fulford was close up with 98.1 per cent., 

 breaking 79 out of his last 80 in the programme events on the first day. 

 His two days' total of 342 out of 380 gives him j ust a 90 per c«n t. average, 

 beating Glover by 1.3 per cent, for second average. H. W. Brown, a 

 Binghamton man, had fourth best general average, 87.3, shooting 

 consistently well all through the tournament. Greiff also shot a good 

 race, breaking in ail 269 out of 310, a percentage of 86.7. 



The tables given below will tell the story of the shoot, all the events 

 being at known traps, unknown angles:

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 



Hunting Moccasins. 



Philadelphia, July 25.— Mr. M. A. Smith; Dear Sir— I have received 

 the New Ideal Hunting Shoe ordered of you last week, and to say that 

 I am more than pleased with them is expressing it mildly. They are 

 simply perfect. You will remember that these are the second pair 

 I have had. The first pair I subjected to the hardest kind of tests, 

 and must say that I derived more comfort and wear from them than 

 any shoes I ever had. They never tired or hurt the feet in any way, 

 but felt like an old slipper, so comfortable were they. I am confident 

 the new ones will prove even more serviceable than the first pair. The 

 sportsmen throughout the country should be very grateful to you in- 

 deed, as I am sure they are who are lucky enough to have had a pair. 

 I found them not only easy, as I have stated, but— absolutely water- 

 proof, and I have given them severe tests. Very truly yours, 



J. R. Painter. 



"Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty." 



We have received from the publisher, Geo. Brumder, of Milwaukee, 

 Wis., Part XII. of "Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty." We have 

 already expressed our appreciation of the high character of Mr. Nehr- 

 ling's work as a popular account of North American birds; and this 

 number, devoted to the sparrows, amply sustains the promise of those 

 which have preceded it. 



Sheridan Bod and Gun Club. 



Sheridan, Wyo.— We have just organized a rod and gun club here. 

 It will be known as the Sheridan Rod ami Gun Club. Officers as fol- 

 lows: President, Mr. Newell; Vice-President, Geo. Estelle; Secretary 

 and Treasurer, Mark R. Perkins. Mark R, Perkins. 



"Hunting and Fishing along the Northwestern Line'' 



is the title of a booklet recently issued by the Chicago & Northwestern' 

 Railway. It is profusely illustrated, and gives information in detail 

 concerning the best hunting and fishing grounds in the West and 

 NorthweBt. Copies will be mailed free to any address upon applica- 

 tion to W. B. Kniskern, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, Chicago' 

 Northwestern Railway, Chicago, III.— Ady. 



A Boston Estimate. 



Boston, July 22.— Editor Forest and Stream; Through my loaning 

 several copies of Forest and Stream to my friends they became so in- 

 terested in its contents that now they are regular readers of your 

 valuable paper, and when out fishing we generally discuBS the differ- 

 ent subjects contained in its columns. 



I can see a whole '^stack" of Forest and Streams before me which 

 I would not part with for treble their cost, and I look forward to each 

 succeeding issue. I consider it the most interesting and instructive 

 paper published of its kind. Bqstonian.
