TOM MAGRUDER'S TOWN. 



Chicago, 111., Aug. 14.— It would hardly do to pass with so brief a 

 notice as that of last week the successful tournament at Kankakee, 

 111., which experts like Eddie Bingham, Abe Kleinman and Mayor 

 Tom Marshall call the best shoot held in this section since June. All 

 the foregoing and many others say that the happiness and smooth- 

 ness of the Kankakee shoot was due to the management and the 

 management, it was Tom Magruder. All the money advertised was 

 actually hung up, and it was good money too. Visiting shooters 

 were royally entertained, and next year will see a still larger attend- 

 ance of shooters at Tom Magruder's town. Forest and Stream pre- 

 sents exclusively tabulated scores in full of the Kankakee shoot:

EUREKA AND GARFIELD AGAIN. 



As was stated earlier, the two leading target clubs of Chicago met 

 again last Wednesday, Aug. 14, in friendly rivalry, this titne with 5-men 

 teams, and under the conditions of the Shooting and Fishing Cup 

 competition for the State championship, at 30 singles and 10 pairs 

 This race was shot on Eureka Club grounds and was a close and pretty 

 thing throughout. Victory was again with the Eurekas, who ran out 

 11 birds to the good. In the practice sweep before the race it became 

 evident that about all the men could smash doubles a good many, and 

 this ability continued about even for both teams till toward the close 

 of the race. At the end of the first 25 birds the teams were tied. At 

 30 birds they were only 1 bird apart. Eureka leading. At the end of 

 the first 5 pairs they were again tied, and from there out it was ding- 

 dong. Half through the last 5 pairs Eureka was seen to be 6 birds 

 ahead, and in the home stretch she added another 5 birds and won. 



The top score, and a very good one at this sort of shooting, was 

 made by Eddie Bingham, who pushed a large diamond horseshoe 

 against the scoring line to the extent of 46 out of the 50. Abe Kleinman 

 the old and reliable, who is shooting targets very strong these days 

 was second man with 42, so it was nearly horse and horse. The shoot- 

 ing was one man up, 5 traps down. Silas Palmer and Gen. Airey 

 judged, Mr. Lanphere refereed. Score: 

 Eureka.

LAKE CITY SHOOT. 



The second annual shoot of the Like Citr Gun Club, of Warsaw, 

 Ind., will occur Aug. 21 and 22. Mr. Joe S. Campfield, secretary, puts 

 out a good practical programme, about half of it on English spar- 

 rows. "Ten English sparrows, $2.50," ought to mean something to 

 somebody The shooting at the sparrows to be rapid-fire, "no birds 

 retrieved." This clause one can only deprecate emphatically A 

 sparrow is a small bird, it is true, and its life seems of small moment 

 but in shooting at sparrows with No. 9 shot a gr*at many birds will 

 be crippled, not killed; and if the non-retrieving rule be adhered to, as 

 I hope it will not, the ground will in a short time be covered with hop- 

 ping, moving, suffering, crippled birds. Sportsmen owe it to them- 

 selves and to the sport of the gun to shoot a sparrow race just as 

 they would a pigeon race, retrieving each bird as shot. If this can- 

 not be done, let them dismiss this form of sport as impractical. The 

 bird may be small, but the cruelty and inhumanity to it are mon- 

 strous. I have seen enough of sparrow shooting where retrieving is 

 not done, and I hope the gentlemen at Warsaw will change this rule 

 and hold a shoot over which they need feel no mental reservations. 

 Railroads leading to Warsaw have an excursion rate to Eagle Lake 

 two miles from Warsaw, and shooters can get over for half fare 

 There should be a pleasant tournament. 



ST. PAUL GRAND ANNUAL. 



The St. Paul, Minn., Gun Club will give its grand annual shoot the 

 week of the State Fair, four days, Sept. 10-13. There will be good 

 money up and plenty of good shooting and good shooters. The tour- 

 nament is open to the world, and everybody ought to be there. 



REMEMBER. 



Remember Charlie Grubbs's shoot (and the Cook Countv Leaeuei 

 Aug. 30-31, at Cicero grounds, Chicago. s ; ' 



GARFIELD-ELGIN. 



Aug. 17.— Elgin Gun Club, of Elgin, 111., sent over a baker's dozen of 

 good shooters to-day to try conclusions with Garfield Gun Club of 

 Chicago. The race was shot this afternoon on the Garfield grounds 

 and was a very pretty little affair, of a sort to interest both clubs and 

 keep alive the spirit of friendly competition which is the soul of the 

 sport. It was intended to shoot two races, one of 12-men teams then 

 one of o-men teams, but the former race took up the afternoon 3 

 men entering on each side who did not shoot on the teams, but shot 

 out the 50 birds with the others. The contest was even for such large 

 ^ am m'u but Garfleld P^ved too strong, winning by a score of 508 to 

 470. The race was at 50 singles, unknown angles, known traps. Eddie 

 Bingham refereed. The feature of the game was the shooting of Old 

 Hoss Stannard (the head of Montgomery Ward & C'o.'s gun repair de- 

 partment), who only lost one bird out of the 50. Stannard is shoot- 

 ing a very stiff gait these days, even better than he used to before he 

 moved down from Milwaukee. The Chicago boys can scare ud a 

 pretty good target team when they try ' 6 up a 



m£^l e I? Di r?H f H r the 8i t°.l tia £ tne Qara eld boys entertained the 

 Elginites at a little dinner at the Tremont Hotel 



Vice-President Dole, of the Illinois Association, was one of the Elsin 

 team and shot a good gait. ^ Bm 



Mr. D. F. Pride, long identified with sporting journalism and recently 

 located in business at Santa Ana, Cal , was at the grounds tnfeafte£ 

 noon and was greeted by many old friends. Mr. Pride is in Chicaeo 

 on a long visit, and many friends wish he were back to stay ou,l ' ago 



Following are the scores of the team race. It should be 'explained 

 that Mr Coppernol ("Cop") shot the first 10 birds on M^r. Hawthorn's 

 score, the latter finishing. Mr. Patterson, one of the Garfleld stand 

 ftS w # ° bhge 5 t0 ^? ave at £ er shooting 20 birds. Mr. Coppernou fin- 

 ished his score for him on the last 30. w UQ

Des-Chree-Shos-Ka's Programme. 



In arranging a programme for the four days of his tournament at 

 Des-Chree-Shos-Ka, Sept. 10-13, Jack Parker has offered to intending 

 visitors something similar to that which tickled the shooters at his 

 "joke-shoot" Jast year. But he also offers them a schedule of ordi- 

 nary events with specially attractive features interspersed and with 

 good, solid money guarantees. As a rule guarantees don't carry 

 much weight, but in this instance they "go," as the phrase has it 

 Special features are numerous. They run as follows: 



First day: Event No. 5, two-men team championship of the United 

 States and Canada, any two men to constitute a team, 25 targets per 

 man, 50 per team, unknown angles, entrance $1.50. The prizes offered 

 are: First, two diamond buttons (to become property of winners) - 

 second, $20; third, Marlin safety take-down rifle; fourth, split bamboo 

 fly rod; fifth, 500 Peters Cartridge Co.'s loaded shells. On this day 

 there are also three 10-target events, $1.50 entrance; two 15-target 

 events. $2.75 entrance, $75 guaranteed in each event; one 20-target 

 event, $3.75 entrance, $100 guaranteed, and one 25-target event, $4 75 

 entrance, $150 guaranteed. . 



Second day: No. 6, 100 targets, J. F. Schmelzer & Sons' trophy con- 

 test, representing the championship of the world at inanimate targets 

 thrown from traps in reversed order. There are also two 10-target 

 three 15-target events and one 20-target event similar to those on the 

 first day. 



Third dav: No. 6, 25 targets, 75 cents entrance, for the Gillman & 

 Barnes eold medal, value $150, representing the expert championship 

 of the United States and Canada. The other events on this day are 

 two 10-target, two 15-target, one 20 target and one 25-target event 

 under conditions aB to guarantees similar to those on the first day 



Fourth day: No. 6, American E. C. Powder Company's champion- 

 ship cup for the handicap championship of the United States and 

 Canada, the cup to become the property of the winner; scratch men 

 to receive 50 targets, allowance of extra targets to others, $1.50 en- 

 trance, unknown angles. There are six m-izes for this contest- First 

 cup; second, Colt's .22eal. repeating rifle; third, 500 Cruttenden & 

 Card's hand-loaded shells; fourth, 500 Peters Cartridge Co 's new 

 metal-Vqed loaded shells; fifth, split bamboo trout rod (one of Fred 

 Divine's best); sixth, Genicke's. On this day the programme is ex- 

 actly similar to the one for the third day, except event No. 6, which is 

 as above. 



The most interesting portion of the programme, and one which will 

 be read by others besides intending shooters, is that which refers to 

 the conditions of the shoot. 



Note carefully that all 10-target events will be shot at 21yds. rise 

 use of both barrels, unknowa traps and unknown angles, everybody 

 shooting ou equal terms. The conditions are severe enough, but just 

 think of the following rewards: $S for 10 straight, $5 for 9, $4 for 8, 

 $3 for 7, $2 for 6, $1 for 5 ! This also should be read? ' 



"All the guaranteed purses will be shot at 16yds. rise, UBe of one 

 barrel, known traps and unknown angles, American Association re- 

 vised rules to govern, and will be divided 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 per cent 

 All amateurs, that is, those whose regular average is below 88 per 

 cent, at unknown angles, will be allowed one extra bird to shoot at in 

 the 15 and 20-bird races and two extra in the 25-hird races. This comes 

 the nearest to putting the amateur on an equal footing with the ex- 

 pert, and was tried at the Grand Rapids, Mich., shoot this year, and 

 met with general approval. All surplus (if any) arising from 10-hird 

 races or guaranteed purses, will be shot for in an extra 15-bird race at 

 the close of each day's programme events, entrance price of birds 

 Those eligible to surplus shoot must shoot in at least two-thirds of the 

 guaranteed purses and 10 bird races. Amateurs will have the benefit 

 of one additional bird in this race, which will be divided 40 30 20 and 

 10 per cent." ' ' 



In regard to the conditions governing the Gillman & Barnes medal, 

 the programme has the following: 



• ," Th ,^ Qi . Um an & Barnes medal, which was formerly the Des-Chree- 

 bhos-Ka live bird medal, will be shot for (live birds style of shooting) 

 unknown traps and unknown angles, 21yds rise, use of both barrels 

 former winnings of medal on live birds to count just the same, to be- 

 come the property of person winning it firHt three times " 



Does the above synopsis of Jack Parker's programme hold out any 

 promise of good things In store for a man who can shoot? We think 

 it does. The outcome of all his previous efforts in this line also war- 

 rants us in guaranteeing every visitor a good time at Des-Chree- 

 Shos-Ka.

Trap at Little Rock. 



Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 13.— At a practice shoot which took place 

 here to-day, some of the uncertainties of trap-shooting were brought 

 to light I)r. Lenow, who is considered only an ordinary target shot 

 made the fine score of 45 out of 50, while your correspondent who is 

 conceded to be the poorest target shot in the club, scored 43. On the 

 other hand Woodson and Duley, two of our local cracker jacks who 

 are always considered eood for an 85 per cent, gait, were entirely out 

 of form, each scoring 38. Dr. Miller only scored 22, but when it is 

 known that this is the Doctor's first effort at the trap, his score will 

 not be rated so bad, as he scored 10 out of his final string of 25 The 

 conditions were 50 targets, unknown angles:
