CHICAGO AND THE WEST. 



CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 29.— On last Tuesday. Nov. 26, Mr. R. B 

 Organ (Wadsworth), of this city, shot" Mr. James Riley, of 

 Kansas City, at the latter place, a 50 bird match for $50 a side. 

 The score was 46 birds each. This race will probably not be re- 

 newed. 



On last Wednesday, at the same city, Messrs. R. B. Organ and 

 C. W. Budd shot a 50 bird race, $50 a corner, with Messrs. James 

 Riley and J. A. R. Elliott , of Kansas City. The score was: 



Organ 45 Riley 46 



Budd 47—92 Elliott 46-92 



This race will probably be shot over at Davenport, Thursday, 

 Dec. 5, the stakes being doubled. 



Messrs. Organ and Budd will shoot a similar race with Messrs. 

 Frank Parmalee. of Omaha, and J. A. R. Elliott, of Kansas City, 

 at Omaha, Tuesday, Dec. 3. The shooting so far has been under 

 American Association rules, with a dead line. In the four-corn- 

 ered shoot Mr. Organ, under these rules, lost four birds dead out 

 of bouuds, and Mr. Budd two; Mr. Riley lost two dead out and 

 Mr. Elliott one. 



A cracking sweep was shot at Grand Crossing Thanksgiving 

 Day, in spite of the terrible weather, participants being Mr. Eich, 

 the Kleinman boys, the Reeves brothers, Mr. Watson, Mr. Shep- 

 ard and his son. They shot five 5 bird sweeps, and each killed 5 

 straight, except in one sweep, each killed 4. Thus they made 98 

 out of 100 and had to divide after all. The birds were a fine lot of 

 John Watson's best brand, a,ud he. traps the best birds it was ever 

 this writer's fortune to see in this country. 



Mr. John Kleinman is back from San Antonio, Texas, where he 

 shot quail and fraternized with Frank and Luther James, of the 

 somewhat celebrated James family of Missouri. While at Sun 

 Antonio Mr. Kleinman got on a 50-bird pigeon match at $250 a 

 side with a Mr. Sullivan. The latter l orfeited for some reason or 

 other. On the day folio wing he and John went out quail sbooi ing 

 together and Mr. Sullivan got about all the quaii. 



"Well, about how many pigeons is your average?" asked John. 

 "If you can kill pigeons the way you do quail I don't wont to shoot 

 with you." 



"Oh, I only got 47 out of my 50 in my last match," replied Mr. 

 Sullivan, "and I ought to have been beaten. I shot 48 and 49 in 

 the last two races before that. I know I can't shoot along with 

 you." 



"The you can't," said John, "Well, I'm mighty glad you 



thought so before we shot. You'd have beaten me easy." "Say, 

 fellows," John adds up here, "that fellow came awful near taking 

 my $250. I'm pale yet, every time I think about it." E. Hough. 



STANDARD GUN CLUB.— Baltimore, Nov. 28.— The Standard 

 Gun Club's tournament, held at Stowman's Park, was one of the 

 best ever held in this part of t he State. A large number of shoot- 

 ers participated. The weather was fine and everything passed off 

 to the intense satisfaction of all participants. The main event of 

 the day was a gold medal contest, which was won by Messrs. Pil- 

 son and Wroton tying on 19 out of 20. There were several other 

 sweepstakes. Standard traps and targets were used throughout 

 and Keystone system, which gave entire satisfaction. Shooting 

 commenced at 8:30 and lasted until dark. There were 5 resuh-ir 

 events and a good many sweepstakes.

EMERALD GUN CLUB.-Regnlar shoot of the Emerald Gun 

 Club of New York city, held at New Dorp, Staton Island, Nov 

 20. Terms, 10 live birds from 5 ground traps, handicap rise, 80yds 

 boundary, use of both barrels, use of second barrel in ties to count 

 % bird. Eighteen club members faced the traps and enjoyed 

 themselves like boys on a holiday. The day was a perfect one for 

 pigeon shooting, there being wind enough to blow away the 

 smoke and make the birds fly rapidly. The birds were a HrBt- 

 elass lot and took to wing readily, and as G. Remsen said, " thev 

 had on a chest protector in the rear." F. Shrader was referee, 

 and was both efficient and fortunate, as he had only one close de- 

 . cision to make during the shoot. P. J. Keenan was scorer, and as 

 usual was distinguished by his extreme modesty. Dr. Leveridge 

 won the second prize for the third time, and it is now his per- 

 sonal property. G. Remsen and F. Shrader tied for first prize 

 and in the shoot-off Remsen missed twice, and Shrader killing 



t th 



broke down and he had to shoot a strange howitzer" "which ^ac- 

 counts for his small score, and even a new leather patch could 

 not save him. By the way, T. J. Brady is our newly elected As- 

 semblyman, and is much respected by those who know him.

TORONTO, Nov. 33.-W. Tracey and W. McDowall, both of 

 this city, shot a friendly match for a small stake, at Woodbine 

 Park, this afternoon. A large number of friends of the contes- 

 tants witnessed the shooting, which was very even from start to 

 finish, resulting finally in a tie, both men grassing 50 out of 25 

 good average birds. McDowall started well, bringing down 9 

 straight, while Tracy missed his first and third, and also had hard 

 luck, the second barrel of his gun missed fire twice. He, how- 

 ever, took another gun, and did better. At the first tie bird Mc- 

 Dowall broke the lock of his gun, and the match was declared a 

 draw, much to the disappointment of those present. A sweep at 

 10 birds was also shot. W. Hetherington and J. Mitchell killing 

 9 each and divided first and second P. Wakefield and C.Henry 

 dropped 8. and divided third. 



Every week we are obliged to defer to the next 

 week trap scores which come in too late for pub- 

 lication in the current issue. It is particularly re- 

 quested that scores be sent ue as early as possible. 



HUTCHINSON, Kan., Nov. 29.— Yesterday morning opened 

 clear and cold with a biting north wind, which "hie win the teeth" 

 of the shooters all day. The wind blew across the traps from north- 

 west to si ru theast and made the shooting difficult. Chas. Smythe 

 of Wichita made the best general average, and he was closely 

 followed by several members of the home club. The visitors were 

 Wm. Stancer and C. H. Smythe, of Wichita, Andv Swiggett of 

 Towanda. John Baer of White City, J. F. Smythe of Wichita, 

 Messrs. Bavington, Swisher, Wright, Pcnsmore and Merritt of 

 Lyons, and J. A. Rawlings of St. Lou's. The tournament was 

 managed by Will Allen, secretary of the home club, and right 

 we 1 did he perform his duty as master of ceremonies. He is 

 well up on rules and regulations and possesses the happy faculty 

 of keeping things moving. There was not a hitch nor a kick to 

 war the pleasure of the day. The visitors were entertained m a 

 BUitabe manner and expressed themselves as having had a grand 

 time. The live birds were a fine lot. They were strong flyers 

 and many of them proved too swift for the shooters. The shoot- 

 ing at the bluerocks was difficult and few straight scores were 

 made. Dmsmoro, of the Lyons club, covered himself with glory 

 and sustained his reputation by breaking in good shape nine 

 si tildes and six pair. His double birds were twisters but he powd- 

 ered them in fine style.

CONEY" ISLAND GUN CLUB.— The Coney Island Rod and 

 Gun Club's special shoot on Thanksgiving was well attended, a 

 large numner of marksmen and their friends assembling at the 

 Woodlawn Park grounds. The shooting for the prize was open 

 to members only, while the additional sweepstakes were open to 

 all who wished to compete. First-class birds had beeu provided, 

 and this, together with a strong wind blowing across the grounds, 

 taxed the skill of the marksmen considerably. C. A. Siddons 

 won the first special club prize, a splendid water color, with a 

 score of 6 out of 7, killing three more on the shoot off and defeat- 

 ing Blattmacher and Dettlefsen. D. Monsees carried off second 

 honors, outshooting Voorhees and Eppig. The winners of the 

 two sweepstakes w r hich followed were D. Cowenhoven, G. EoDie.
