The shoot- off was at 5 birds to each man. Lake George Sports- 

 men's zVssociafion and the Cbhago Shooting Club, ties on 37 went 

 to the score at once. Mr. Booth, of the former club, dropped 2 

 birds: The Shooting Club got their 20 straight by hard knocks 

 and won first. 



■ It being now nearly dark, the Forest and Stream reporter re- 

 turned to the city. It was said that ties on 36, Austin, South 

 Chicago and Blue Island clubs would divide the cash and appoint 

 one man from each club to decide the tie for the remaining prize?. 

 This will be announced Thursday morning. Lake County Shoot- 

 ing Club won third on 35. Cumberland and La Salle Clubs, ties 

 on 34, were nearly agreed to divide. 



Meantime the blackbird shed had not been idle. The open 

 tournament had begun. 



Shoot No. 4, at 15 Keystone targets, to be shot under the Lovd 

 system, entrance $3, six moneys div. into three pots, each 50, 30

This shoot being under the Loyd system, there were 6 pots and 



4 moneys in each "pot. An equal pot was won by ties on 15, 14, 13, 

 12, 11 and 10, and in each pot the moneys were as below: First, 

 ¥23.40; second. 11.70; third, $7; fourth, $.4.65. C. E. Willard was 

 alone with 15 straight and won lust, remaining ties divided. The 

 live bird traps being occupied by the club team shoot, the pro- 

 gramme could not be followed by shooting No. 5. The next there- 

 fore, as per programme, was shoot No. 6, 18 Keystone targeis, 

 under the Tucker system, tits decided on last 6 birds, entrance $4, 



5 moneys, 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 per cent.:

Budd, Babcock and Loyd divided first, Purvis, Stice. White and 

 Brewer divided second. Hart and T. E. Willard divided third, 

 Strawn shot out and won fourth. 



Three or four impromptu sweepstakes were also shot at the 

 blackbird traps, Budd, Stice, Ruble, Tucker and others of the 

 cracks tiguring largely in them; but as the scorer did not see fit 

 to leave any record of the results, it will not be necessary to re- 

 port them. As for the scoring at this shed, it was for the most 

 part about as loose and bad as it well could have been. The re- 

 porters for the dailies were almost unable to get full results any- 

 where, and helpless as they usually are at such a meet, would 

 have fared badly except for representatives of the sporting press, 

 who were able to guess more intelligently. Press accommoda- 

 tions were poor in the extreme throughout the shoot. 



Friday, Fourth Bay, June 7. 



It was raining in the morning, and the day promised to he a 

 wet one, but by 10 o'clock the clouds had partly broken, and noon 

 saw quite a respectable number of shooters on the grounds. It 

 has been a marked feature of this shoot that, while the numbers 

 might have been greater, those that were present stayed wonder- 

 fully well, the entries even on such a day as to-day filling very 

 favorably as compared with those of the first day of the open 

 shoot. Phillips, the Nanerville boy who ran the great race for the 

 badge with Charlie WiUard, is employed in the city and could not 

 attend more than one day. Babcock, the other young shooter— he 

 is only a boy— who won the L. C. Smith cup, was also absent this 

 afternoon. The oldtimers were on hand, and as usual the chief 

 interest for them centered in the live bird shoots, the first of 

 whtch was a little sweep. The score: 



Sweep, 5 live birds, entrance $5, two moneys, 60 and 40 per cent : 



Kleinz 22101-4 White 22111-5 



Budd . . . : 11210—4 Brewer 10111—4

Irwin 21221—5 Thompson 12121—5 



Watson 12111—5 H Kleinman 21111—5 



Stice and Irwin divided first. Budd and Kleinz shot 7 in ties 

 and divided second. Brewer and Bangs falling out. 



The next shoot, No. 7 of the programme, hung up a good deal 

 of money and filled well. The score: 



Shoot No. 7, 20 live birds, entrance $20, four moneys. 40, 30, 20 and 

 10 per cent. :

The ties were not divided by the Tucker syBtem, as billed in 

 the programme. Lafiin, WadswoTth, Budd and Eich divided 

 first, $138; Stice, Powers ami H. Kleinman divided second. $103.50. 

 Ties on 18,3 birds tickets: Irwin 12, A. Kleinman 3, White 15, 

 Paysou 15, Loyd 12, Mussey 1, Willard 0. White and Payson 

 divided third, $69; Kleinz, Calhoun, Brewer and E. I. Reeves 

 divided fourth, $34.50. It is a singular fact that every man in 

 this shoot who was a winner in any of the first three ties received 

 the samo amount, $34.50. Thus the four men who killed 30 straight 

 divided $138, one-fourth of which is $34.50; the three 19 men 

 divided $103.40. one third of which is $34.50, and the two 18 men 

 divided $09, one-half of which is $34.50. This would not often 

 happen, and is a commentary on the comparative merits of first 

 rate and second and third rate shooting. 



Mr. Irwin, who bid very fair to stay in the 18 tieB as long as 

 anybody, lost his thirteenth bird in a singular maimer. The bird 

 did not take wing, and snapping at it, he overshot. He pulled on 

 it with second barrel, but the gun missed fire. The bird still 

 stood at the trap, apparently about to fly. "Try the shell again," 

 called out somebody. "KiR the bird on the ground," said the 

 referee, Mr. Watson. Without stopping to think very much, Mr. 

 Irwin cut away carelessly at the bird and knocked if, over, but 

 did not kill it. it rose and fell dead out of. bounds, and the referee 

 declared it a "lost bird" and did not allow another bird. He de- 

 cided that the bird must have been killed under the circum- 

 stances before a "no bird" could be decided, and since Mr. Irwin 

 accepted the chances he must abide by them. Mi - . Irwin was 

 thus deprived of the privilege usually following upon a miss-fire. 

 It was obvious that he expected to shoot at another bird, and 

 the puzzled look did not leave his face for' about four hours. It 

 was an incident, no one remembered to have seen before at the 

 trap, and is still puzzling some of the shooters. 



Special Prizes.— The Lefever Arms Company offered as a prize 

 for the best combined scores made in shoots Nos. 1, 5 and 7, a 

 Lefever hammerless gun with all improvements, value $100, made 

 especially to order. For the. same contest and under the same 

 conditions the Vhioayo Herald offered a valuable medal emble- 

 matic of the championship of the State of Illinois. The gun and 

 medal won at the tournament to be subject to future competition 

 as follows: On the request of five persons, members of the State 

 Sportsmen's Association, the president shall call shoots for these 

 trophies not oftener thau once in three months, and shall give 30 

 days' notice of the dale of the shoot; the contests shall be 

 held at Chicago, and shall consist of 20 live birds to each man; 

 the entrance fee shall be $30, including birds; from the purse $50 

 shall be awarded to the previous winner of the trophies; the re- 

 mainder shall be divided into four money, on the basis of 40, 30. 20 

 and 10 per cent. Ties for the ti ophies shall be decided at 5 birds. 

 The gun and medal shall become the personal property of any 

 contestant winning them three times. Enough had now been 

 done to show that Mr. Thos. Lafiin. of Geneseo, the first vice- 

 president of the Association for the ensuing year, bad won the 

 above special prizes. His score was 10 straight. Mr. R. B. Wads- 

 worth was chasing him with 39. Considering the scores in this 

 last shoot, and the long ties in this and former shoots, it is safe to 

 say that the record of this tournament is far above the average 

 of other late shooters elsewhere. 



In the mean time not a great deal had been doing at the inani- 

 mates, barring a few sweeps in which the. entry rarely exceeded 

 10 shooters. It was late in the evening and rain was again falling 

 when the only programme shoot at inanimates was run off. The 

 score: 



Shoot No. 14, 9 Keystones, entrance $2: 



Stice 1111111111-10 Budd 111llllin-io 



Willard 1111111011— 9 Powers 1111111111— 10 



Eich miOinil— 9 Cahoon 1101110101— 7 



Strawn 1111111111-10 



Ties on 10. Stice 10, Strawn 10, Budd 5, Powers 10. Stice, Strawn 

 and Powers div. first; Willard and Eich div. second and Cahoon 

 won third. There wasn't anything very big in that shoot. Every- 

 body went home. Rain began to fall steadily before the trains 

 had reached the city. 



Thitrxday. Third Bay, June G. 



The members of the Shooting Club of Chicago showed up 

 radiant in the diamond rings wrested from the Lake George men 

 late on the evening before in the tie shoot on 37. Ties on 36, 

 Austin, South Chicago and Blue Island clubs divided the cash, as 

 announced last night. Austin appointed Bangs, South Chicago 

 appointed Reeves and Blue Island chose Airey as champions for 

 their respective club teams, to decide which team should own the 

 tent. Bangs won for Austin. Lake County Club won third on 35, 

 asannouueed; Cumberland and La Salle divided fourth without 

 shoot-off. 



The weather throughout the day was clear and fine, growing 

 warmer. Interest was unabated. Several new faces, were seen, 

 among others Mr. J. G. Smith of Algona, president of the last 

 Iowa State meet. 



Secretary Shepard was much incensed at a little attack which 

 an irate daily reporter had placed in a morning paper, to the 

 effect that Mr. Shepard refused the scores to tile press. The 

 exact truth is thai Mr. Shepard offered to the daily reporters the 

 same privileges extended to the sporting press; namely, that of 

 looking over Mr. Shepard's shoulder at the scoring desk when 

 there happened to be room on the bench, or when he did not want 

 all the desk himself in the business of settling ties. The sheets 

 were not divided, and were not accessible otherwise, but there 

 was a short blackboard score on live birds which a reporter 

 could use if he had time to spend all day at it, or if he had some 

 one else to watch the scores at the other sheds. The pampered 

 daily press, not being used to such hustling, grew angry at the 

 enforced delay, and hence the tears of all concerned.

Two or three other minor sweeps were shot, the programme not 

 being followed very closely. As some shooters were also in the 

 live-bird match, the usual confusion existed when it came to 

 shooting out the ties and dividing the money. It seems strange 

 that a more business-like system cannot be brought to bear upon 

 these matters. It would make things run far more smoothly. 

 Everybody was good-natured, however, and the day closed 

 pleasantly. 



Saturday, Fifth Day, June S. 

 Rain fell aU tho morning. Nothing was done at the inanimates. 

 There was only one event at live birds. Shoot No. 9— Two-men 

 team shoot, open to any two shooters to constitute a team, at 10 

 live birds per man, entrance $15 per team, four moneys, 40, 30, 20 

 and 10 percent.:

Special Prizes— A. G. Spalding & Bros, donated a 44-ealiber 

 Colt's magazine rifle, value $38, for the best average in shoots 

 Nos. 1, 5, 7 and 9. As Mr. Lafiin had dropped a bird in shoot No. 

 9, he no longer preserved the lead which had won for him the 

 State championship trophies, but was now tied by Mr. R. B. 

 Wadsworth. Shooting c ff the tie at 5 birds, Mr. Lafiin missed his 

 second and third birds, and Mr. Wadsworth killed 4 straight, thus 

 winning the rifle. M. W, Diflley offered to the Chun go I earn 

 making the highest score iu the club team championship, 100 fine 

 cigars, valued at $20. This prize was won by the Shooting' Club 

 of Chicago, when they shot out Lake George Club. Haskell Bros, 

 donated an elegant snooting trunk, to be awarded to the shooter 

 who shall make the second best record in the tie, birds for the 

 diamond badge. This prize, was won by Mr. AA r . E. Phillips, the 

 plucky Napierville boy who came so near winning the Board of 

 Trade diamond badge. 



The tournament had now reached its wet but happy termina- 

 tion. It was the sentiment of all that the meet, had In en a suc- 

 cess, and those who parted to-night could not help feeling that 

 the cause of sportsmanship had been advanced, and the ties of 

 good comradery more closely knit. Next year's tournament, 

 under the auspices of the strong and able club which will have it 

 in charge, will be a yet larger and more widely known meet than 

 that of this year, although nothing whatever could be said by 

 the most captious man to the disparagement of tho tournament 

 just now closed. A carload of shooters will leave here next Mon- 

 day night for the great American Association shoot at Cincin- 

 nati. E. Hough. 



B UDD— KLEINZ.— The match between C. AV. Budd, of Des 

 Moines, la., and J. Frank Kleinz, of Philadelphia, for the cham- 

 pionship and $100 a side, was shit at the close of the State tour- 

 nament, at 100 live birds, Mr. Kleinz, being the challenger and 

 Mr. Budd the holder of the cup. The exhibition was a fine one, 

 and it is doubtful if a closer aud prettier shoot was ever seen 

 under the circumstances. In spite of the wet and soggy we ither, 

 the birds were a screaming lot, and as by the terms of the match 

 the guns were 12- gauges under 81bs., the rf sultan t score was phe- 

 nomenal. It is doubtless true that Mr. Budd has made thchest 

 score ever made with the. light gun. Mr. II. A. Penrose, of the. 

 Keystone Company, was chosen referee. John Watson, of course, 

 furnished the birds. There was no imputation of any unfairness, 

 and the match was one of perfect gentlemanliness throughout. 

 At the beginning of the match Mr. Kleinz's cheek showed dis- 

 coloration from previous pounding of bis gun; at the, sixteenth 

 bird his cheek was opeu and bleeding, and at ttie close of the 

 match he was covered with blood. He was plucky throughout, 

 however, and never flinched on a bird, so far as any one could see. 

 Two of his birds fell dead just out of bounds. Mr. Kleinz had two 

 miss-fires and two "no birds," the 8th and 99th. Frequent bursts 

 of applause greeted both shooters. They did some of the best 

 second barrel work ever seen here. Mr. Budd is a trifle quicker 

 with his second, and be comes pretty near being a double cross- 

 bolted terror all around at tho trap. The score:

 Budd retained cup and championship. Ho shot an L. C. Smith 

 under 81bs., and his load for both barrels was 3J:plrs. American 

 wood (trap) powder, and lj-^oz. chilled Chicago 7s. Mr. Kleinz 

 shot a Greener 81b. l4oz., and used Schultze powder in both bar- 

 rels, 3>4drs. in the right aud 4drs. in the left, with 7s in the right 

 barrel and 6s. in the left.— E. Hough.
