FOREST AND STREAM. 



[June 12, 1890. 



targets from five traps, angles and traps unknown: use of both 

 barrels allowed. It strikes me that this is well "worthy a fair trial. 

 At present target-shooting is decidedly monotonous, home im- 

 provement in the system should certainly be found and adopted. 



Much talk has been wasted and much space m the various 

 sporting papers occupied in the last few years ma tutile ettort 

 to devise some plan to prevent professional shots from wanting 

 away with the money in a sweepstake. The -'Tucker system, 

 the "Loyd system," and various other plans and systems have 

 been tried and found wanting. Of all these so-called systems- 

 it strikes me that, under present shooting conditions,, the Key- 

 stone system" is the only one which is fair to all. This provides 

 that when a shooter in a tie for any money prize iinds that on an 

 equal division with others iu the same tie he .could realize as 

 much or more than his entrance money to the main shoot, he may 

 withdraw his proportion, leaving the others to shoot out for the 

 balance. This method offers a fair chance to the amateurs or 

 non-professional. Under the usual plan one man could prevent a 

 division and prevent the sbooMng out of the ties to the end. It is 

 hardly probable, however, that any "system" except the one in 

 vounie' will be commonly adopted for a long time yet. 



The country shooters without a doubt are deserting the big tour 

 naments in the cities. A few years since they formed au import- 

 ant part of the attendance. Nowadays but few of these appear. 

 Thev have fnund that they are handicapped by inferior guns and 

 much poorer ammunition. The city sportsmen progress in these 

 respects, but the countryman has not the same opportunity. He 

 has therefore given up the fight. 



Trap-shooting, to my mind, is as yet undeveloped. 1 believe It 

 has a brilliant future among the sports of the country. Let the 

 wise heads, the experimental trap-shooters, and those having the 

 true and best interests of the sport at heart, get. together, discuss 

 the. difficulties of the situation, look for the remedies and en- 

 deavor to place trap-shooting where it properly belongs, in the 

 front rank of the sports which appeal for support to gentlemen. 

 Drive out the blackguards, make the rules sportsmanlike, give 

 the good and the mediocre shots all a chance, but place a pre- 

 mium on skill, encourage match and team shooting, and take 

 what other methods may seem feasible to make trap-shooting a 

 clean and honest sport, possessing an attraction for every man 

 who owns a gun. It maybe too much to ask, but such is the 

 earnest wish of W. P. Mubset.

ILLINOIS STATE SPORTSMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



CHICAGO, 111., Jnne 7.— For sixteen consecutive years the chief 

 sportsmen's organization of the State of Illinois has held 

 annual convention and tournament. The meeting for 1890 is at 

 an end tc-night. During these years, covering a period of wide 

 fluctuation in matters germane to its purposes, this sturdy band 

 of shooters has left on record widely divergent stories of its yearly 

 meeting. The event of the present year's meet was anticipated 

 with great interest, the more especially as it has of late been 

 thought, that shooting at the trap was on the wane. It was be- 

 lieved by some that the day of Urge attendances and steady shoot- 

 ing in such meets was a thing of the past, and there were a few 

 who found in this or other causes ground sufficient to make them 

 doubt the full success of this year's meet. Now that the meet is 

 over.it cannot fail to please all these that the result has been 

 quite beyond their anticipations; and it certainly is a positive pleas- 

 ure to any sporting journal to chronicle the unqualified and un- 

 mistakable success of so old and worthy a sporting fixture as this. 

 In the past, for instance in t he days of wild-pigeon shooting, there 

 may have been larger entries in one or more main events, but the 

 steadine«s of the attendance from day to day has not. been sur- 

 passed and in most years has not been equalled. For instance, if 

 memory serves one aright, on the fourth day of last year's shoot, 

 there were but about seven entries in a live-bird event, while this 

 year, on the same day, there were 53 entries at $10. Last year, 

 upon memory again, there were 65 entries in the great Board of 

 Trade badge shoot; this year there were 78. Such things do not 

 point to a rapid decadence of the art of trap-shooting, or suggest 

 any very violent delinquency on the part of the management. 

 They indicate much rather a tendency or a performance which 

 should make all interested in this yearly congregation feel cheer- 

 ful in the extreme. 



The Illinois State meet has long held fast to the customs of the 

 past. There is no more conservative a meet held anywhere in the 

 country. Some of the target-circuit followers grow impatient at 

 this and wish more time put in at their line of business. In past 

 years the total of targets shot has not been very large when com- 

 pared to the totals of target tournaments pure and simple. The 

 reason for this is obvious and two-fold. The rapid-firing system 

 has not been adopted in the first place, and in the second place a 

 mixed tournament breaks up the system of rapid firing to a great 

 extent, the shooters being here and there and often absent at the 

 live-bird traps when wanted for the inanimates. Yet this has 

 been quite, the greatest target-smashing shoot ever held here, 

 thanks to Mr. Penrose and his lightning scheme, so much so that 

 more targets were broken in one day this week than were broken 

 in the whole week last year. In looking over the target, shoot en- 

 tries it should be borne in mind that they do not show all the 

 shooters on the grounds. Take all the shooters who were at the 

 same time shooting either at one or the other set of traps and the 

 showing would compare very favorably with that of any recent 

 tournament of whatever nature, if indeed it did not surpass the 

 latter. Three or four thousand targets a day is not so much, but 

 it must be borne in mind that at the end of the fourth day there 

 had been 1,500 live birds shot at also. That is an extraordinarily 

 large number. The live-bird shooting was phenomenally rapid. 

 There was some good shooting done in it; for instance Mr. C. A, 

 Burton's run of 43 straight, which was first average work. The 

 scores run the lower by reason of a strong wind which prevailed 

 throughout most of the week and served to skate many a dead 

 bird out of bounds. 



It would be useless to seek the names of all the gentlemen who 

 were present from abroad, but, a few of the familiar were Mr. R. 

 Irwin, of Philadelphia; Mr. C. W. Parent, of Marshall, Mo.: Mr. 

 Geo. C. Beck, of Indianapolis; Mr. Cartwright. of Boston; Messrs. 

 W. S. Cannon and W. Fred Quimby, of New York, with the old 

 standbys, Messrs. Budd, Heikes, Courtney, Tucker, Benscotten, 

 etc., etc. 



The annual convention was held at the Sherman House, Tues- 

 day evening. June 3, and was very well attended. There was 

 something of the old talk and bluster about game protection. 

 This is perfectly harmless and everybody understands it. It is in 

 the play. On motion of Mr. Pierce it was resolved that the presi- 

 dent appoint a law and legislation committee of five, with M 

 Wolfred N. Low aB chairman of the same. It w T as further re- 

 solved that this committee be empowered to appoint sub-coni- 

 niittes all over the State. The object of this was to secure united 

 action in game legislation. It was also resolved to watch care- 

 fully and intelligently the efforts of artificial target companies to 

 secure the passage of a law in Illinois prohibiting live bird shoot- 

 ing. The committee on the revision of the constitution failed to 

 report and was discharged. The committee appointed last year 

 to confer with the Fox Hiver Fish and Game Protective Associa- 

 tion also failed to report. It probably hadn't conferred very 

 much, or if it had it wouldn't have done much else. 



Chicago was selected as the place for the next meet, the latter 

 to be held under the auspices of the Audubon Club. 



A vote of thanks was passed to the donors in the different 

 purses, and to the Sherman House for courtesies. 



The officers elected for the ensuing year were: Dr. N. Rowe, 

 President; Mr. A. M. Hoffman, of Chicago. First Vice-President; 

 Mr. Thomas A. Marshall, of Keithsburg, Second Vice-President; 

 Mr. W. L. Shepard, Secretary and Treasurer. 



By far the best feature of the evening, if we may he permit ted 

 so to speak, was the address of the retiring president, Mr. Fred 

 C. Donald. It so well presents the actual state of affairs in this 

 section that it is given in full. Mr. Donald said: 



Gentlemen of the Axsochitton: 



As the chief exec utive of your organization I have the pleasure 

 and distinction of extending a fraternal greeting and an official 

 welcome to the membership assembled on the occasion of vour 

 sixteenth annual convention. 



An intelligent review of the organization and history of your 

 Association covering this period of sixteen years, would seehi an 

 appropriate theme to present to this assemblage, and 1 regret ex- 

 ceedingly that my comparatively brief association with this most 

 important factor of the social interests of our great common- 

 wealth, will necessarilly confine a retrospection to mere generali- 

 ties. Organizations of the character of the Hlinois State 

 Sportsmen s Association, having for their objects primarily the 

 inauguration and maintenance of certain social reforms, either 

 through the medium of associated action or influence or hv the 

 enactment of special laws, partake in a singular degree of the 

 phenomena attending individual existence. The hopes and ex- 

 pectations born of the inspirations and suggestions ot to-day are 

 dissipated by the proven futility of practical application to-mor- 

 row, seasons of apparent progress alternate with periods of 

 discouragement and utter disappointment. This in a word 

 1 may assert, reflects the experience from year to year, of 

 this organization. Through its agency and the persever- 



ance of its active members, laws have been enacted m the 

 furtherance of its proposed philanthropy, its influential 

 membership, scattered throughout our broad State, representative 

 citizens of their several cummunities, have sought by moral 

 suasion and the precept of individual example, to stay the wanton, 

 unseasonable, unsporrsmanlike destruction and annihilation ot a 

 God-given patrimony. And yet, despite the exertions of the 

 sportsmen of our State as represented by this Association, in 

 defiance of the unwritten laws of morality, decency and humanity, 

 in derision and contempt of 'he penalties prescribed by our law 

 makers, this merciless slaughter, this barbarous unrelenting war 

 of extermination against every creature wearing fur, fin or 

 feather has cone steadily and merrily forward. 1 bat tins Asso- 

 ciation should for nearly two decades perpetuate its organization 

 in the face of apparently insuperable obstacles, renewing each 

 succeeding year its pleadings to the law giver and the law 

 breaker in behalf of the nesting bird and the spawning fish, is to 

 my mind a more eloquent attestation of the patriotism and good 

 citizenship of the true sportsman than could be avowed by the 

 burning oratory of a Patrick Henry. ■ 



This Association, gentlemen, embraces within its membership 

 scores of men of mature experience, unerring judgment, and 

 unqualified intelligence, men who have successtuUy solved 

 the twin problems of business preferment and social distinction, 

 men who may if they will yet guide this storm-beaten shin 

 of reform from its sixteen years of contention with ad- 

 verse currents and uufavoring winds, to a safe harbor, and a per- 

 manent anchorage in the heart of every humane and intelligent 

 citizen of our commonwealth. 



Frankly speaking, brother sportsmen, is it not true that, during 

 the interim of vour annual beating to quarters for the election of 

 officers and the enjoyment of your trap contests, your good craft, 

 floating the pretentious ensign, "Protection to the game of Illi- 

 nois," has drifted as idly and purposely as the poet's "painted 

 ship upon a painted sea?" It is not my purpose to disparage this 

 enjoyable feature ot the annual convocations of this Association; 

 perish the thought; but rather to suggest that as consistent mem- 

 bers of this organization the principles it seeks to inculcate and 

 make permanently operative should during the intervals of your 

 annual meetings command your consideration to the extent of 

 inciting individual action whenever and wherever a blow may 

 be dealt in support of the reform we have undertaken to inaug- 

 urate and perpetuate. 



It is proper that the Association should have from its retiring 

 officers an account of their stewardship. Having no session of our 

 Legislature during the past winter, your administration escaped 

 the responsibility of interceding with our law-makers. In August, 

 last we undertook a decisive test of the value of the existing laws 

 by seizing several packages of contraband game from the stores 

 of two reputable South Water street dealers. The case of the peo- 

 ple was ably represented by our Association counsel, Mr. W. N. 

 Low. Result, a non-suit, while your chairman found himself in the 

 ludicrous position of having made himself liable to an action for 

 damages for having unlawfully interfered with the traffic in half 

 grown quails in the month of August. In view of this experience, 

 I have no hesitancy in presenting to this Association the opinion 

 that the legal provisions for the protection of the game in Illinois 

 are worse than a useless incumbrance of our statutes, and serve 

 no purpose other than to attest the ignorance or insincerity of its 

 creators. The right of the people to enforce the act is denied, 

 and vested instead in three game wardens, without compensation 

 other than a percentage of t he fines assessed and collected. Ob- 

 viously there is more profit for these so-called wardens to 

 assume the relationship of protectors of illegal game dealers than 

 to enact the role of public prosecutor with possible remunera- 

 tion contingent upon a successful issue of the case. Having boldly 

 declared the prevailing laws incompetent, and in the last degree 

 farcial, I feel it incumbent to suggest, to this convention a compe- 

 tent substitute. It is plain that, reformation must come through 

 ihe strong arm of the law. Then let us deal with cause, not 

 effect; prohibit by law the sale or traffic in game in the State, 

 or its exportation from the State fo" the purpose of barter or 

 profit. Give to the people of the State the authority of enforcing 

 the act, and if this measure should prove ineffectual, we of this 

 Association may not worthily be t ermed sportsmen. This may seem 

 a heroic remedy, but I beg that you will have in mind that it is an 

 attempt to prescribe for a most desperate case, which has run 

 the garnet of every species of diagnosis and treatment. Lawless- 

 ness is largely the. outgrowt h of opportunity and temptation. The 

 unseasonable and unsportsmanlike destruction of game is almost 

 wholly instigated by the possibility of gain. Destroy the market, 

 and the game butcher's avocation becomes profitless. As a natu- 

 ral sequence the question arises, now may the enactment of so 

 stringent and arbitrary a law be encompassed!" By proceeding in 

 a poli tical manner as a politician would proceed. Let each com- 

 munity of sportsmen pledge the ambitious legislative candidate 

 to These measures prior to the casting of their ballots, or putting 

 it more plainly, if you please, give your support and votes to the 

 candidate, who upon election, will give his vote and influence to 

 the passage of adequate game laws. 



In March last, prairie chicken, quail and other contraband 

 game appeared regularly on the bills of fare of many of our 

 Chicago hotels and restaurants. Having absolutely reliable 

 information that at. least two of our leading .South Water 

 street dealers were stocked to the roof with this illegal plunder 

 I made a diligent search for our game warden. After the 

 exercise of some patience and the loss of much time I suc- 

 ceeded in ferreting him out in an obscure s ction on the 

 north side of our city, and by dint of exaggerated repre- 

 sentations as to the importance and grave responsibilities 

 of his office, I induced the gentleman to accompany me 

 to a justice's office and swear out two warrants, leaving him and 

 an officer of the court on their way to serve the papers. The re- 

 turns were very prompt, and consisted simply of bills for the ser- 

 vice, with the report that not a feather was to be found. Evi- 

 dently the present laws and the provision for their enforcement 

 are to t he likine of t he game dealers. 



With thic brief reference to the discouraging experience of your 

 chairman, I commit to the wisdom and wider experience of the 

 Association the responsible task of devising ways and means of 

 securing the enactment, of adequate laws, unirammeled by im- 

 potent conditions. 



For their loyalty, cordial support, and intelligent, harmonious 

 cooperation, looking to the success of this annual convention and 

 tournament: for their earnest, capable efforts tor the entertain- 

 ment of our guests and the prooiulgation of the principles of this 

 institution in the face of unexpected and ill-timed antagonism, 

 I desire to tender to the officers of this Association mv sincere 

 thanks and assurance of profound appreciation. To this goodly 

 assemblage of congenial spirus who have gladdened us with 

 their presence 1 extend on behalf th

Below is the record of the shooting. The weather throughout 

 the week was mild and pleasant. The arrangements at the 

 grounds were better than usual. The Gun Club kept open house

 was nearly cleaned out by Friday night. The lunch counter was 

 very well provided also, and everything was very pleasant.
