CHICAGO TRAP-SHOOTING. 



CHICAGO, Feb. 23.— The week in trap-shooting circles has been 

 a busy one, although but two events have been decided. The 

 shoot of tbe Audubon Club on Thursday was poorly attended, 

 the day being stormy and cold. The medal was won bv R. B. Or- 

 gan. The shoot of the Gun Club yesterday was very interesting, 

 as a large number of members appeared and a very hard lot of 

 birds was provided. The contest tor tbe live-bird medal was won 

 by R. B. Organ for the second time this year, although three 

 rounds of tie birds were necessary to decide it. Mr. Organ's shoot- 

 ing of late has been the best he has ever displayed, despite bis 

 well-known skill. 



I append the scores of the Audubon and Gun Club shoots. A 

 meeting of the Gun Club was held at the Sherman House Thurs- 

 day evening to revise the constitution and by-laws. It was de- 

 cided to incorporate the club and increase the membership to 

 sixty active and t wenty-five honorary members. Other measu res 

 of importance were adopted, and the club is now in a stable and 

 prosperous condition. It numbers among its members nearly all 

 the leading trap-shooters of Chicago, and its shoots are always 

 well attended. 



At the Sherman House, on Friday evening, an adjourned meet- 

 ing of the Chicago sportsmen interested in the project of the new 

 shooting park, was convened to listen to the l'eport of the com- 

 mittee on location. An exhaustive report, del ailing all the dif- 

 ferent properties inspected by the members of the committee, 

 was presented, and by unanimous action of the meeting, it, \v;is 

 decided to purchase a tract of 57 acres at Highland station, 15 

 miles from the city on the Chicago, Burlington & Quinov R. R. 

 This tract is already improved, has a superb house, suitable for a 

 clubhouse, ready for immediate oceupany, and is in all respects 

 tbe most desirable property that was inspected. The club house, 

 is within a hundred yards of the railroad station and is superbly 

 located on an eminence from which the surrounding country for 

 a half dozen miles can be viewed. Seven acres of land surround- 

 ing the club house is highly improved with great forest trees, 

 graveled walks and drives, an excellent stable, etc. The club house 

 and grounds are situated in Du Page county, and the 50 acres de- 

 signed for the shooting park use directly across the road but in 

 Oook county. Thus no interference with shooting can be antici- 

 pated. 



The new park will be without Question the largest, finest, and 

 the best equipped, sportsmen's home in America or the world. 

 Every modem improvement in trap-shooting will be adopted, and 

 it is expected mat the sport will be established on the firmest 

 foundation for public favor. It is intended to establish a kennel 

 department where owners of flee dogs can find accommodations 

 for their favorites. The club will be incorporated under tbe name 

 of "The Highland Shooting Club of Chicago," and stock subscrip- 

 tion books will be opened as soon as the committee on organiza- 

 tion has rendered its report. The sportsmen here are very enthu- 

 siastic over the project, aud it is expected that no difficulty will 

 be experienced in disposing of all the stock in a few weeks. It is 

 hoped to secure John Watson, our famous purveyor of live pigeons, 

 to take charge of the new park and grounds, which will be ready 

 for the June tournament of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Asso- 

 ciation. 



Interest in the coming contest with Kansas City continues to 

 increase as the event draws near. On Thursday evening next a 

 meeting of the sportsmen will be held at the Sherman Mouse to 

 complete the arrangements for the match. Chicago's team will 

 then be named and the tight will fairly begin. A report will be 

 submitted from the committee on entertainment of the visitors, 

 as we want to treat them well even if they beat us, as they say 

 they will do. In my next I will be able to give the names of the 

 members of the Chicago nam of champions. 



During the week of the Kansas City shoot several matches will 

 be decided between Kansas City and Chicago shooters. Frank 

 Jones, of Kansas City, is matched to shoot C. S. Wilcox, of Chi- 

 cago, at 50 live birds for $50 a side, the loser paying f or the birds. 

 Under the same conditions Ben Dicks, of this city, will shoot W. 

 S. Halliwell, of Kansas City, and it is probable that Drury Under- 

 wood, from the town on the Kaw, will try and best W. P. Mussey 

 on similar teams. The week will be full of pigeon shooting, and 

 John Watson has made elaborate preparations by securing over 

 3,000 of as flue birds as ever left a trap.

 was a guarantee purse of $30 at 20 bluerocks. In this event 

 Wheeler was first with a clean score; Leslie, Field and Short were

 sweepstake matches followed. 



LONG BRANCH, N. J., Feb. 21.— The Inter-State shooting con- 

 test at live, birds opened this A. M. on the grounds of the Central 

 Gun Club. There were many of the crack shots of New York, 

 New Jersey and Pennsylvania in attendance. The birds were in 

 nearly every case strong flyers, and the 6port was highly enjoy- 

 able to all p'resent. The first event was a sweepstakes at 4 birds. 

 Cubberly, Kiggot, Sigler and Miller killed every bird. Bell, Daly, 

 Perrine and Class killed 3 each. The second match was also at. 4 

 birds. Bell, Cuhberly, Sigler, Class, Riggott and Miller made

PIQUA, O., Feb. 10.— Dr. Hyde, of this place, and Touy Gast- 

 right, of Keyport, Ky„ shot a match here to-day. The rise was 

 34yds. and the birds a rattling good lot. Disagreeable cold 

 weather and a half-cutting bluff of a snowstorm added to make 

 the shooting more difficult and the several hundred spectators 

 uncomfortable. The birds were extra and no mistake. Wick, 

 Ohio's double-bird champion, offlcia ted as referee and did all that 

 could be expected. The score stood:

GREENBUSH, N. Y., Feb. 22.— The Greeubush Gun Club held 

 a shoot this afternoon for the club medal. The wind played a 

 lively tune, causing some to feel nervous. John F. Kapp's usual 

 good luck didn't stand by him, and the medal will be worn for 

 the present by George Luther on a score of 17 out of 25, which, 

 under the circumstances w T as a very good showing. The following 

 is the score: George Lather 17. William Gordon 12, John F . Kapp 

 J2, P. Allen 11. C. Smith 9, W. Green 7. 



OLAREMONT, N. Y., Feb. 22.-The day on these grounds was 

 well spent. There was a private shoot at 100 live pigeons first 

 thing in tbe morning; after that the regular programme was 

 shot off with the exception of tbe live sparrows; thev could not 

 be ca«ght, so this feature had to be omitted. The grounds looked 

 well after the late improvements and are now in good shape for 

 both live-bird and inanimate target shooting. "Shooters will 

 please take notice that the 3:30 P. M. train from New York, foot 

 of Liberty street, now stops at Claremont on Saturdays for their 

 accommodation. The all-day tournament, once a month, will be 

 soon resumed on these ground'!; the ties on the Lefever trophy 

 must be shot, off in March; the scores for that medal and the 

 money in the "pot" will clo^e March!. Below are the scores

KNA PP vs. RANDOLPH.— Feb. 18.— Dr. Knapp, who was lately 

 defeated by C. Macalester of the Riverton Gun Club, Philadel- 

 phia, shot a match this forenoon on the Westminster Kennel 

 Club's grounds at Babylon, L. I., his antagonist being Mr. Ran- 

 dolph of Philadelphia. The conditions were 100 birds each man, 

 30yds. rise, Huriinghaiu rules, 50yds. boundary, for a stake of 

 $1,000 aside. The birds were a line lot, and although the weather 

 conditiotts were favorable enough, the scores made by the two 

 sportsmen were not as large as were expected, many of the strong 

 drivers getting safely away. At the start and during the earlier 

 portion of the match it seemed as if the Doctor would suffer an- 

 other defeat, his opponent leading him without interruption up 

 to the seventy-fifth round, when the score was a tie. Knapp, 

 however, had been shooting very steadily during the previous 

 fifteen rounds, and continued his good work tip to the close of the 

 match, while Randolph fell off considerably. From the seventy- 

 fifth round to the finish the race was a very even and prettj r one, 

 Knapp finally getting ahead and keeping the lead up to the last 

 bird, when he was two the best of his opponent. Mr. Charles 

 Macalester. the celebrated shot of the Rivertons. acted as referee, 

 and gave general satisfaction to the shooters and their handlers 

 by his fair decisions, and to the spectators by the happy manner 

 in which he filled tho important office. The score follows:

 Referee, Mr, Charles Macalester of Pniladelphia. 

 After the members of the club and their friends had taken 

 lunch they had the pleasure of witnessing another match wbich, 

 if not. quite as interesting as the one in the forenoon, still created 

 a good deal of amusement for the spectators, especially in its 

 earliest stage. The contestants were Mr. V. Bumam, of New 

 York, a well-known member of the Westminster and the Union 

 League clubs, and Mr. Clarence Dolan. a friend of Mr. Macalester. 

 The New York gentleman was coached by Mr. W. B. Smith, while 

 Mr. Dolan was properly taken care of by Mr. Macalester. Mr. G. 

 Jones, of New York, acted as referee, and was without doubt tbe 

 happiest man on the ground when the shoot was over and his 

 official duties were ended. Both men shot poorly at the start, 

 but improved as the match progressed, the spectators having op- 

 portunity to applaud many difficult shots. The conditions were 

 100 birds each, Huriingham rules, with 50yds. boundary, Dolan 

 shooting at 28yds. and Burnam at 30yds. rise. Dolan gained the 

 lead on the eleventh bird, and increased steadily until he was 

 thirteen birds ahead on the eigbty-eighth round, thus winning 

 the shoot with a total of 63 killed and 25 missed, to 50 killed and 

 38 missed for the New York gentleman. The score follows:

DENVER, Col., Feb. 19.-The Queen City Gun i lnb held its 

 regular Wednesday shoot at Peoria blackbirds at River Front 

 Park this afternoon. There was a, very good attendance, and 

 considering that, it was a little too cloudy for good shooting, the 

 scores were up to the average. Tbe shooting o£ Messrs. Haywood, 

 "Tuff" and Titus is deserving of special mention, and bad it. been 

 a good clear day all would have probably made clean scores. Tlie

It. is thought that before the next annual tournament of the 

 Rocky Mountain Sportsmen's Association is held Denver will 

 have a team of gunners that will be able to cope with any in tbe 

 Western country, if not in the United Stales. !r is beyond dis- 

 pute that the Queen City Gun Club has the finest shooting and 

 bunting grounds in the West. Sloan's Lake was the first terri- 

 tory secured. Thirteen lakes in the vicinity of Denver were next 

 leased for a term of years, and recently River Front Pack was 

 added to the list. The last is easy of access, and all members of 

 the club can reach it without any trouble whatever. 



COLUMBIA, O., Feb. 20.— Mr. Justus Von Lengerke, of New 

 York city, and Mr. A. G. Courtney, of Syracuse, N. V., shot along 

 with the East End Club as guests to-day. Mr. Von Lengerke's 

 work was done with a featherweight Francotte 12-gauge, with 

 barrels of 25in., weighing 51bs. 6oz., using as a charge 2-%lrs. 

 Schultze powder and li^oz. No. 8 shot. Mr. Courtney shot a light 

 13-gauge Lefever hammerless and shot a nice, allmost even up 

 race with his countryman. American Shooting Association rules 

 governed, the shooting being from 5 traps, at Kej stone targets, 

 which are it seems becoming the favorite target here. Scores:
