FOREST AND STREAM.

The special train provided by the Westminster Kennel Club 

 left Long Island City at a few minutes past 9 o'clock, and at this 

 time the fcg was very dense. Dr. Knapp has made some excellent 

 scores in. bad weather, and h's friends expressed a hope that it 

 might rain pitchforks- and blow "great guns." Dr. Knapp was 

 backed heavily at odds varying from 5 to 8 to 3 to 1 before the 

 train reached Babylon. Tbeu tbe clouds cleared away and for 

 half an hour the sun shone down on the traps and the Union Club 

 men would not risk any more money on their cluhmate Among 

 the New Yorkers present were: James L. Gladwin, Alexander 

 Morion, David Worden, Edward Jewett, Chat 3 . Fisher. L. Wilmer- 

 ding, Morton Paton, Thomas Paton, Samuel Walsh, Clarenc Mc- 

 Kin, Robert Colt, John Lowery, W. Qhanficey Fioyd-Joncs, Chas. 

 E. Parker, Lemuel Pomeroy, J. H. Gould, Frederick Ha'scy. 

 Robert Cornell, Nat Sinipkins, Richard Peters, Wrn. Hoey, Harry 

 MuTin, Jos. Thompson, Harry Nicholas, L. Q. Davenport and J. 

 Karamis. The PhUadelpbiaris were Evans Roberts, Jr., Henrv H. 

 Ellison. Mahlon Hutchinson, T. Harrison Farquhar. George Fox, 

 Yah- Dol^u, Clarence Doian, Alexander Van Rensselaer. J. C. 

 Groome, Dr. R. M. Smith and F. Rennert. Tuxedo Park sent a 

 representative delegation, among whom wore John Alexander, W. 

 P. Douglas, Greenville Cane and Thomas H. Pearsall. 



The. snooting began at 11:26 by tbe watch of Robert B. Lawrence, 

 wlvo was elected referee for the first half of the match. Four hun- 

 dred pigeons were brought' out in cages to be placed in the traps 

 as fast as the occasion required. Mr. Macalaster shot first and 

 brought down a fast black pigeon which flew with the wind. Dr. 

 Knapp used both barrels on his first bird and scored. Doc, the re- 

 trievei , a beautiful Irish setter, performed his part of tbe work so 

 well that every man who watched the sport envied his owner. 

 The birds that were first set loose were not as lively as they miaht 

 have been and nearly all of them flew directly against the strong 

 wind which blew from the southwest. Mr. Macalester was the 

 first to miss, his fourth bird getting well out of reach of his shot. 

 Dr. Knapp failed to bring down his sixth pigeon, and the eighth 

 of his quota also escaped unharmed. He used the second barrel 

 of his shotgun oftener than did Mr. Macalester and with less 

 results. 



About noon a drizzling, chilly rain began to fall and the wind 

 subsided. The storm soon drove all but the, marksmen and their 

 attendants under the porch of the club house. Before the 301 h 

 round Lr. Knapp's friends realized that he was not shooting in 

 bis usual foini, but he showed no signs of nervousness. Mr. 

 Macalester was as ca'm as though he had been shooting for pleas- 

 ure instead of $113,000. lu the 30th round he led Dr. Knapp by 8 

 points, anrl bets of 4 to 1 were made on him. Dr. Knapp was un- 

 lucky as well as out of form, for several birds struck by the shot 

 from bis gun were blown just outside the boundary. 



After the 100th round it looked like a sure, thing for Mr. Mac- 

 alester. but Dr. Knapp's friends still had a faint hope that be 

 would ou> last tbe nervy Fhiladelphi'an. The New Yorker's gun 

 kicked repeatedly, and this, together with his ill-luck, had rattier 

 a disheartening effect. He bad $5 000 of his own money on the 

 match, While Mr. Macalester was backed by a syndicate, and this 

 rnny have lead somethiug to do with Dr. Knapp's loss of heart- 

 Mr. Macalester made some beaul if nl shots in the last half of the 

 "race." The Union Club man plucked up courage toward the 

 end and brought down the last 6 birds of his lot. This was the 

 score at the close:

Frb. 10.— The last match in the Macalester-Knapp contest, held 

 at the grounds of the Westminster Kennel Club, at Babylon, L. I. 

 to-day, was without doubt the most intei esting of the series. The 

 conditions of the/match confining the marksmen to kill the birds 

 in a boundary of 30yds. from each trap pile, as well as the close 

 race during the day contributed greatly to reawaken the interest 

 ol the many spectators. Although it was snowing hea vily in the 

 morning a goodly number of snorting men, members of the West- 

 minster and Riverton club rand their friends arrived on the 

 special and all the other morning and early afternoon trains. 



One het of $6,000 to $2,000 on Macalester, and another of $3,000 

 to $1,000, ai ranged between the same parties, wore perhaps the 

 largest, of the day, while smaller wagers on the match, as well 

 as on single birds, were much more numerous than on Thursday. 

 One of the most risky wagers of the dav was one of $1.00 to a bot- 

 tle of wine on the result of the seeum) 100 birds. 



When the two marksmen and their handlers arrived on the 

 ground to make their preparations snow was still falling and 

 changed later on into a fine drizzle, which did not cease until 

 shortly before the fiiii-h. Mr. Macalester fired the first shot a 

 ft-w minutes after 11 o'clock, when the work began in earnest, 

 Mr. Oakleigh Thome acting as referee. 



For the second half Macalester started off with a clean score of 

 24, missing on his 120th shot. Dr. Knapp missed on the 111th 

 round, and the champion of the R'tverton Gun Club led for the 

 first and ouly time during the shoot with tbe highest, but never- 

 theless small number of 5 From the 121st to the 140th round 

 many misses were scored, 7 against Macalester and 5 against Dr. 

 Knapp. reducing the former's lead to 2, and now bejran one of the 

 prettiest and most exciting races ever witnessed in trap-shooting. 

 Though the lead could not be broken, Dr. Knapp gave his oppo- 

 nent a hard tussle to maintain it, and many a time was only one 

 paint behind the Philadelphia man. Of course, the "rooters" 

 were out in force, and now was their chance to give expression to 

 their feelings. Each hit was greeted wich exultation, while a 

 miss called forth Btghs and groans, especially when the bird fell 

 dead just outside the boundary- 

 Many of the birds were not up to the usual high standard, but 

 this made the Shooting at the hard drivers, tumblers and twisters 

 all the more difficult. The. tape to fix the boundary was altogether 

 brought into requisition fourteen times. The distance had to he- 

 measured eleven times for Mr. Maculester's birds, nine of which 

 were in and outof bounds. Of the three birds which were measured 

 for Dr. Knapp two scored, while one i< as lost. 



Among the gentlemen w ho watched the sport yesterdav were 

 Russell H. Henderson, N. S. Simpkics, Edgar G. Murphy. W. W.

CHICAGO. r eb. 8.— The past week has been a busy one in shoot- 

 ing circles in and around Chicago. The hoys have awakened 

 fully to the fact that Kansas City, in the coming great match be- 

 tween the two cities means to seta trot pace for our team, and 

 are determined to leave no stone unturned to secure a victory. 

 Therefore, the Chieagoans, wi th characteristic pride and energy, 

 are already eagerly at work preparing for the great event. A 

 meeting of the local sportsmen was held on Thursday night at 

 the Sherman House, to accept the challenge, select a team, and 

 prepare for the entertainment of the visiting marksmen. Mr. F. 



C. Donald, president of thelllinois State Sportsmen's Association, 

 took the chair, and W. P. Mussey was appointed secretary. On 

 motion of Mr. .lohn J. Gillespie the challenge from Kansas City 

 was accepted, and March 7 and 8 fixed as the dates of tbe contest. 



Mr. R. B. Organ moved that the chair appoint a committee of 

 three to select a team of 25, from which is to be hereafter chosen 

 the competing team. This was carried, and R. B. Organ, C. E. 

 Willard and W. P. Mussey were designated as such committee. 

 On motion of Mr. Lord, the chair appointed the following com- 

 mittee on entertainment of the visitors: Geo. T. Farmer. H. W. 

 Jenney, Chas Kern, Chas. E. Felton and Abner Price. Geo. W. 

 Andrews moved the appointment of a reception committee, 

 which was aopoiuted as follows: R. B. Org«n, W. L. Sbepard, (*. 

 S. Wilcox and F. C. Donald. Mr. Organ moved that F. C. Donald, 

 F. H. Lord. C. S. Burton and Geo. W. Andrews constitute, a com- 

 mittee on transportation. Carried;. On motion of Mr. H. W. 

 Jenney the following were appointed a committee cn finance: W. 

 W. Foss, E. S. Rice, P. F. Stone, W. W. McFarland and H. D. 

 Nichols. W. P. Mussey was appointed a committee of one to at- 

 tend to the newspapers preceding and during the match. It was 

 decided to hold practice shoots at least once a week to enable 

 members of the team selected to put themselves in trim. The 

 meeting adjourned until Thursday evening, Feb. 27, at which 

 time the final team for the great contest will be selected. 



There has been plenty of pigeon popping going on during the 

 past week, and the coming one promises almost as much sport. 

 On Sunday last tbe members of the Mak-saw-ba Club spent a 

 pleasant day at their club grounds and some very interesting 

 matches were shot, of which I append the scores. The birds were 

 an excellent lot, strong and hard flyers, and many fell dead just 

 over the flags after being apparently ridd led with shot. Such 

 birds fill one with disgust at the so-called "sport." afforded by 

 summ>r weaklings. The Mak-saw-ba Club will hold another 

 sho'it next Sunday, and some interesting matches are to he de- 

 cided then. 



On Monday last Mr. R. B. Organ shot a match at Washington 

 Park with Mr. E. E. Flint, who is well known to Chicago and New 

 York shooters. The conditions were 100 live pigeons per man, but 

 the supply of birds running short and the match being already- 

 decided, they shot at but 96 each. Mr. Organ used a Purdy gun 

 belonging to Mr. Flint, and scored 70 outof the number shot at 

 while Mr. Flint was grassing but 73. 



By the way, the Washington Park Club uses the moat expensive 

 and . by all means the best system of traps in this part of the 

 country. They are sprung by electricity, and no one, not even the 

 puller, knows which trap is to come. Behind each trap, at a dis- 

 tance of a couple of feet, is a large hollow brass ball, Wflich at the 

 same instant the trap opens, is rolled toward the bird, thus start- 

 ling him instantly, and obviating the necessity of flush ropes. 

 The system guarantees perfect Impartiality as to traps and in- 

 sures prompt flight of the bird. 



On Friday, au interesting team match took place at Watson's 

 Park, the contestants being F. A. Place and O. F. Malcolm on 

 one side, against W. P. Mussey and J. W. Sheahan. The terms 

 were 25 live birds each, $25 a corner, losers to pav for the birds, 

 the scores were: Sheahan 24, Mussey 20. total 44; Place 20, Mal- 

 colm 20, total 40. 



To-day a match on precisely similar terms was shot at Watson's 

 Park, the opposing sides being 0- E. Willard and F. C. Donald, 

 against F. H. Lord and C. S. Burton. The shooting of all but 

 Burton was execrable, and after a race that each side seemed de- 

 termined to lose, the match resulted as follows: A. S. Burton 21, 

 F. H. Lord 16, total 37; C. E. Willard 18, F. C. Donald 14, total 33. ' 



On Monday next, John S. Orvis and W. P. Mussey will decide 

 at AVatson's Park, a dispute of long standing. The conditions of 

 the match are 50 selected lives birds per man, $50 a side, the loser 

 to defray expenses. This match has awakened much comment 

 and will be witnessed by a large crowd of sympathizers of each 

 man. 



The first practice shoot of the series, called for the benefit of 

 the expectant team, will be held at Watson's Park on Tuesday. 

 Each man will shoot at 20 birds, and as Watson has a lot of 

 screaming good ones on hand, the boys will have to scratch 

 gravel. 



By an inadvertence, I stated in my last that the gun club would 

 hold its monthly shoots on the second Thursday and fourth Satur- 

 day of each month. I should have said the second Friday, and 

 the first shoot for 1890 will take place nest week. At that time 

 the ties for the live bird medal and the average moneys for last 

 year must be shot off, 



J. E. Riley, the well-known Kansas City gentleman, who opened, 

 tbe eyes of Chicago shooters by his display of skill in the recent 

 Budd-Organ and Elliott-Riley match, was in the city yesterday. 

 He had no gun with him, but expressed himself willing to ac- 

 commodate, almost any-body with a little race for about a hundred 

 "scudi," but the good shots of Chicago were all sick. Mr. Riley 

 will lead the Kansas City cohorts in their attack on Chicago, and 

 he promises a team of fifteen "men that will keep our standard 

 bearers busy. Mr. Riley is of a mercurial disposition. 



It is whispered around town that if Frank Oiass and Frank 

 Kleinz, the famous Eastern cracks, would drop into Chicago dur- 

 ing the first week in March, they would be accommodated with a 

 little race at a hundred birds a man for a couple of hundred dol- 

 lars, by two of us Westerners. Couldn't they make the trip? 

 The boys here are all anxious to see genial Frank Kleinz again, 

 and we are sure Class would get a hearty welcome also. 



The Pan-Americans seem to be having a lively time, and I'll 

 warrant that your correspondent on the trip will be pounding 



away at quails and ducks in Texas during the coming week with 

 that little Smith gun of his that occasionally did business with a 

 prairie chicken the last time 1 saw him use it. 



The project for the new trap-shooters' park is meeting with en- 

 thusiastic approval. The committee on location have decided to 

 report on a tract of 57 acres at Highland station on the Chicago, 

 Burlington & Quincy R. R., about 16 miles from the city. A beau- 

 tiful house is already ready for occup ncv, surrounded hy a grove 

 of forest trees, and in every re=p3Ct it will make an ideal sports- 

 men's home. The Burlingtorwnad will provide a special train on 

 Sunday next to take out a party of sportsmen to inspect the 

 property. The committee hold an option on the tract, and if it is 

 decided to purchase, Chicago wiU soon be able to boast the largest, 

 finest and best equipped shooting parkin America. This is as it 

 should be, and every sportsman will cry "All hail" to the new 

 order of things. W. P. Mussey.

Toronto, Jan. 1.— The members of the Owl Gun Club to-day 

 shot for a gold medal, presented by the club to the member mak- 

 ing the best score at 15 sparrows, at A. C. Start! & Oo.'a athletic 

 grounds. Eastern avenue. The weather was vtry favorable for 

 trap-shooting, and the scores were exceptionally good. Mr. J. 

 Rice won the medal with the fine score of 14. 



At McDowall's grounds the Stanley Gun Club shot for club 

 prizes. These shoot are held each Saturday and Wednesday, and 

 will continue for ten weeks.

A large number of entries have been received to the shooting 

 tournament to be held on Feb. 12 for the McDowall championship 

 cup. 



Montreal, Feb. 1.— The Cote St. Paul Gun Club members were 

 not long allowed to keep possession of the Montreal challenge cup 

 without an effort. The Dominion Club will persist in striving 

 after shooting honors, and if any honors are to be got the Domin- 

 ions want to have a hand in. And thus it was that to-day the 

 Goto St. Paul Club had to defend their right to the challenge cup, 

 but the defence was not successful, although it was a very close 

 shave. The score was: Dominions, 46; Cote St. Paul. 44. Now 

 the Dominion Club holds the cup again and its shooters are cor- 

 respondingly happy, 



Montreal, Feb. 6.— A meeting of the Dominion Gun Club was 

 held to-night, when an offer of .amalgamation from the Montreal 

 Gun Club was read. The meeting was unanimously in favor of 

 the proposed amalgamation. The Dominion Gun Club has for 

 the past two years held its fair share of the shooiing honors. At 

 Ottawa, May 24, 1888, it captured the championship, competing 

 against 7 teams from Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. It had also 

 held the Montreal championship for over a year. The club team 

 has a record unequalled by any in this city, and the Mon treal 

 Gun Club is 10 be congratulated on acquiring the crack shots 

 of the Dominion Gun Club.
