CHICAGO TRAPS. 



CHICAGO, March 14.— Editor Forest and Stream: Last week's 

 shooting match with the Kansas City boys has left the 

 atmosphere in trap shooting circles somewhat muggy. The un- 

 fortunate fall down by Reeves after Chicago had the match all 

 hut won has been the subject of considerable discussion, ami 

 much surprise has been expressed at his apparent loss of nerve. 

 He has usually been regarded as one of Chicago's strongest shots, 

 not particularly on account of his amount of skill, but for The ex- 

 cellent nerve he has always displayed. Nerve, or the abilitv to 

 kill hard birds when in a tight place, is unquestionably one of the 

 leading and indispensable qualities of a successful trap shooter, 

 and it was the supposed possession of that attribute which led 

 Captain Organ to pit Reeves against Elliott, who is one of the 

 most expert shots in America. Elliott set a strong pace from the 

 start, and it is probable that R-eevts appreciated the load he 

 was carrying. Knowing how Chicago depended upon him, and 

 feeling too strongly how anxiously the crowd watched every bird 

 of his, became excited and lost his head. He is a young shooter, 

 never before having faced a crowd when such a load rested on 

 him, and it was too much to expect that his nerve would stand 

 the strain. 



In the early part of the race Elliott had much the best of the 

 birds, and this undoubtedly helped Reeves toward a state of 

 almost complete demoralization. The team asked more from him 

 than a young and inexperienced shot could stand, and the result 

 was that he weiit to pieces. He was placed in the hardest possi- 

 ble position, and every member of the Otticago team is willing to 

 make all possible excuses for him, and none of them are disposed 

 to find fault. We just lost the race, that's all, and as other mem- 

 bers of our team lell below their accustomed standard, Reeves 

 alone should not be unduly blamed. We had a good shoot . wii li 

 the Kansas City boys, scared them nearly to death, tinally got 

 beaten, hut all through the match we had a good time and there 

 was not a word of dispute to mar the pleasure of a closely con- 

 tested match. All around, it was a credit to all concerned, and 

 will be of great benefit to trup-shooting throughout the West. 

 Chicago presented about as strong a team as it can produce, and 

 it is a very doubtful question whether it can be strengt hened suf- 

 ficient] > ! to win from the experts of the Missouri village. How- 

 ever, we are due to try them one more heat on their own soil, and 

 perhaps we'll do better n<xt time. 



Another team race, is on the tapis. On Monday next, March 17. 

 the U. lit el States O utriige Co.'s teams will appear in Chicago. 

 The tour of the Pan- Americans ha? been eagerly watched by 

 Chicago sportsmen, and the boys will have a hearty welcome on 

 their appearance here. The programme for Monday includes the 

 regular race of the two teams. East vs. West, at 30 singles and 5 

 pairs of inanimate targets. Just to see how far the "champs" 

 outclass our most t x pert shots at artificials, Chicago will put in a 

 team of Ave against them to contest for the honors. This team 

 will probably be composed about as follows: C. E. Willard, C. S. 

 Burton, W. E. Phillips, F. H. Lord and P. F. Stone. All are good 

 shots and we hope will make a f ai r showing. Following the race 

 at artificials will come a grand live-bird contest. Chicago vs. All- 

 America. Ten Chicago shooters will be pitted against the com- 

 bined strength of the U. S. Cartridge Co.'s teams in a match at 10 

 liv« birds per man. The tpam that will represent the World's 

 Fair citv in this contest will be. about as follows: M. J. Eich, W. 

 L. Shepard, C. E. Willard, J. M. Hutchinson, H. A. Foss, C. S. 

 Burton, H. L. Wells, W. N. Low, C. B. Dicks and J. E. Price. 

 But one member of the team which shot against Kansas Citv will 

 be on the coming one, thus affording others a chance to display 

 their abilities. We hardly hope to snatch a victory from the 

 tourists, but we will give them the hardest race we know how. 

 The special ear of the champions,' The Iolanthe," will be at Grand 

 Crossing on Monday, and will be made the shooting headquarters. 

 It is certain that a most pleasant and interesting day's sport will 

 be had, and a good crowd is expected to welcome the tourists and 

 "pull" for the Chicago shooters. 



Tee Kay (or Thomas H. Keller, as he was originally called), the 

 advance representative of the U. S. Cartridge Co.'s teams, was in 

 the city on Tuesday and completed all arrangements for the ap- 

 pearance of the teams here*" Tee Kay is a hustler and a thorough 

 good fellow. He made lots of friends here who will he glad to see 

 him again. He left for Detroit on Wednesday to attend the shoot- 

 ing tournament there and bill the town for the champions, who 

 will shoot there next Tuesday. The shoot of the South Chicago 

 Gun Club, popularly known as the ''Yellow-legs," at Grand Cross- 

 ing, on Wednesdav, was well attended. The day was bright and 

 warm and an excellent lot of birds was provided. The live bird 

 medal was taken hy Geo. Kleinman and the artificial target 

 medal by A. W. Reeves on the scores as inclosed herewith:

 On Friday the Gun Club held it| regular semi-monthly shoot for 

 the live bird and artificial targetJroedals, at Grand Crossing. The 

 day was exceedingly cold, and a brisk wind blowing directly 

 across the traps made the shooting very difficult. The birds pro- 

 vided were, as a rule, an exceptionally good lot, although toward 

 the close of the race duffers predominated. Occasional gusts of 

 snow added to the difficulties of the day and the scores made were 

 poor. An unusually large number of club members was present, 

 and among the guests were Messrs. Justus von Lengerke and 

 Louis Duryea, of New York, who participated in the shoot. The 

 club medal at live birds was won by Mr. W. L. Shepard, who shot 

 in excellent form, killing his birds quickly and well. The scores 

 were as follows: The Gun Club semi-monthly shoot at 10 live

At the West Sido Driving Park on Wednesday a very enjoyable 

 shoot at live bird was give by George Ludington. A large num- 

 ber of the West Side sportsmen attended, and the sport was ex- 

 cellent, the birds being old and strong ones especially selected. 

 Sweepstakes were the order of the day, and about six hundred 

 birds came to a timely end. 



The visit of Mr. Justus von Lengerke to Chicago has given our 



hoys a chance to witness the killing powers of the "featherweight" 

 Francotte gun, and many of them are. infatuated with it. It is 

 certain that the days of the heavy 10-gauge are numbered in 

 Chicago, and that the sportsmen here will soon equip themselves 

 with the more modern weapon, the easily-handling light-weight 

 12-gauge, the gun for a genuine marksman. 



The shoot for the Herald medal and the Jennev anil Graham 

 gun, which is called regularly every three months, will be held at 

 Grand Crossing on Thursday, April 10. The last winner of the 

 trophies, which must .be won tnree times for possession, was A. 

 W. Reeves, of the late Chicago team, and he must shoot in good 

 form to hold them, as all the boys are in good practice now and a 

 good score is necessary to win any trophy. 



The teams of the U. S. Cartridge Co. arrived here this morning 

 from Milwaukee, suffering slightly from the effects of the pecu- 

 liar weather of the Cream City. Jim Stice, C. E. Gaboon and S. 

 A. Tucker of the shooters went dir.ect to their respective homes 

 at Jacksonville. Freeport and Davenport to spend Sunday with 

 their families. They will return in time for Monday's match, how- 

 ever. 



The weather is so cold at present that the marshes and rivers 

 are frozen solid and all the ducks have dropped a few hundred 

 miles south. It will be nearly a week before fair sport can again 

 be looked for. 



R. B. Organ left last week for California. He was accompanied 

 by his wife, for the benefit of whose health the trip was under- 

 taken. He will not be back for six or eight weeks, and until ho 

 returns nothing will be done about the return match with Kansas 

 City. ■ W. P. MUssey. 



BROOKLYN TRAP-SHOOTERS. 



BROOKLYN. March 12— The Parkway Gun Club wound up the 

 second year of its existence with a very successful shoot and 

 subsequent dinner at Dexter Park, L. I., to-dav. Shooting began 

 at 10:30 A. M. and was continued until nearly 4 o'clock in the 

 afternoon, when the hand played an appropriate march, the mem- 

 bers fell in line and wended their way to the old hotel on the 

 Jamaica plank road, where substantial fare awaited the hungry 

 marksmen. Twenty-seven marksmen went to the score, each 

 shooting at 10 live birds under modified Long Island rules. W. 

 Levens and J. Charlick tied on 10 straight, Levens winning the 

 Bhoot off by 3 to 2, a,nd with it, the club badge and a handsome 

 prize offered hy Mr. R. Phister, Jr. The 31 members of the club 

 shot a total of 1,337 birds during the year, the. ties for first place 

 being included: they killed 920 and missed 3.17, the average for 

 each man bein? .744— a performance of which the ciub is proud. 

 The score to-day is as follows, at 10 birds each:

Twenty-three members of the Coney Island Rod and Gan Club 

 competed for the club badge and five money prizes at Woodlawn 

 Park to-day. The birds were not of the best description, and the 

 shooting was even inferior to the birds, as the score will show. 

 Only two members killed seven straight, and the tie was soon 

 decided, Schmedeke outshooting Blattmacher on the second bird. 

 L. Davenport won second money. His score was 35 out of 37 shot 

 at during the day, and yet he was not lucky enough to win the 

 badge. C. Plate and C. Jumbo divided third prize. J. Smith won 

 fourth prize and J. Siems fifth. The score:

L ARC HMONT, N. Y., March 4."— The pigeon match for selected 

 clubs, arranged by the Larch mont Y. C. shooters, took place on 

 the club house la wn to-day. The shoot was open to teams from 

 the South Side. Westminster Kennel, Philadelphia, Country, Tux- 

 edo, Riverton, Rockaway and Larchmont clubs only. Entries had 

 been received from five clubs, but the Country Club had to with- 

 draw on account of the sudden illness of Mr. Hitchcock, who, 

 with Mr. Beach, constituted its team. The conditions were: 

 Teams of two, 8100 entrance, 50 birds each man, 30yds. rise, 50yds. 

 boundary, Larchmont Y. C. rules to govern, for a silver trophy in 

 the shape of a handsome cup, valued at $500, the marksman with 

 the best straight score to receive an extra prize of £75. Among 

 the small number present, besides the officials were G. M. Baretto, 

 Mr. Soule, of Philadelphia; E. H. Haight, Dr. J. H. Woodbury, 

 Caesar Coupia, D. I. Jackson, J. M. Brill, J. I. Lawrence, Mr. Beach, 

 of the Country Club; Gen. Grub, of the Philadelphia (.Hub; Russell 

 H. Henderson and J. L. Mott, dr. The following teams competed: 

 Westminster Kennel Club— "Fredericks" and W. B. Smith; Phila- 

 delphia Gun Club— E. S. Handy and Chas. Macalester; Larchmont 

 Yacht Club— Frederic Potts and Wm. Murray; Carteret Gun Club 

 — "Stanwix" and Dr. G. L. Knapp. The Philadelphia team had 

 the best of it all through, and won the match and cup with a total 

 of 96, Handy killing 49 and Macalester 47. The best straight score, 

 34, was also made, by 10, S. Handy, and he carried off the extra 

 prize. Mr. Macalester, the ''Wizard," used his Scott hammertoes 

 gun, from which he has fired 73,200 shells. The birds were fair, 

 considering the weather, flew strongly, and improved toward 

 the end of the match. Some marvellous shooting was done, some 

 of the outdrivers being dropped by Macalester in a wonderful 

 way. Considerable betting was done, most of it consisting of big 

 odds on "the gun" for each bird. The score stood:

LONG ISLAND, March U.— The Northside Gun Club held a 

 regular monthly shoot Ithis afternoon on its new grounds at 

 Queens County Park, L. I., the club formerly shooting at Wood- 

 side. It was the last meeting of the kind in the club's year, and 

 at its conclusion the gentlemen with the best and secona best, 

 averages in the three classes, A, B and C, were presented with 

 prizes. Although the birds were good, the heavy a tmosphere held 

 the smoke of the powder down so as to interfere with the use of 

 the second barrel. Still the scores were fair, three of the marks^ 

 men killing 7 straight, and one of this number, Mr. Eberhardt, 

 used his first barrel only. A sweepstake at 3 birds per man, miss 

 and out, followed, Messrs. Siems. Winholz, Barlow and Manning 

 winning the pot on 4 straight. At the conclusion of the meeting 

 the winners of the prizes for the year received their rewards. 

 Each man had to participate in at least eight shoots, the shooters

CLAREMONT SHOOTING GROUNDS.— Claremont, March 15. 

 —The execrable weather this morning promised a wet blanket to 

 all outdoor sports, and some regular attendants at the Saturday 

 shoot left their guns at home when they started for business, and 

 therefore were not prepared to enjoy the bright, beautiful latter 

 half of the day. Many more thau were expected did come down, 

 and had some very lively shooting. This association has com- 

 municated to Mr-. Dimick, of the champion teams, a desire to put 

 against them a team of ten men to shoot for the purse offered by 

 him heretofore for a team of five men. If ho consents, he may 

 not he beaten, but the pace will have to be pretty fast not to be.
