In the presence of a large crowd at the park on the afternoon of 

 the last aay Jim Elliott, of Kansas City, defeated Ed Spencer, of 

 Carrollton, III., in a live frrd match for $100 a side. At Kansas 

 City last May tbey shot a live bird match for £100 a side, which 

 was won hv Elliott by a score of 97 to 98. Spencer bad quite a 

 little bad luck in the affair, and feel ng confident that if allotted 

 bis sbare of luck he could defeat Elliott, he agreed then to shoot 

 him another match. The match was arranged and took place 

 here to-day, and like the former went to the Kansas City man, 

 who has just won a long chain of uu woken victories. 



The bii ds used for to-day's affair were a verv indifferentUot, and 

 th» scores made by the contestants are no credit to them or any 

 indication of good work. Not more than 25 out of the 200 trapped 

 took wing wii faout having to be flushed. Spencer bad a shade t he 

 hardest birds, and made several pretty second-barrel stops of tail- 

 era. Conditions of the match were 100 live birds, Hurlingham 

 rules, for $ 100 a side. The score:

LONDON, ONT. 



London, Out., Aug. 26.— The Rodney Gun Club, an association 

 made up of all the crack shots alone the M. C. R. line, tried con- 

 clusions with a team of ten men from the London (iun Club on 

 the home grounds yesterday. The local men thought that they 

 would have an easy thing to do in worsting their opponents, and 

 for this reason were not careful to pick out all their good ghotst 

 but before the first squad had finished fMng the majority of them 

 had greatly changed their minds, as the boys from the ' quail 

 grounds'' demonstrated clearly ihat they knew how to handle 

 their guns. At the finish of the first squad the visitors led with 

 90 dead birds to treir credit, against 76 for London. The home 

 team's second squad, however, included seme, of their best shots, 

 such as Red path, Evans and Jaynes, who began their work with 

 a determination to make 100 out of a possible 150, and the score 

 shows that they succeeded, Redpath making the highest score si 

 the day by securing 25 birds out of the possible 30, Messrs. James, 

 Evans and McDougall did some excellent shooting. The score: 

 Rodney— First Squad.

THE COMING TOURNAMENT. 



Arrangements are fast being completed by the Executive Com- 

 mittee of the London Gun Club for the holding of a grand tourna- 

 ment in this citv under the auspices of the, club. Although the 

 exact day has not been set, it has been decided to hold it during 

 the second week of October. Mr. H. A. Penrose, of Corry, Pa., has 

 been engaged to superintend the affairs of the meeting", and will 

 no douot add much to its success by his long experience in sport- 

 ing matters. The committee intend to profit by the experience of 

 the recent Toronto tournament, and have decided that the tour- 

 nament shall be open to none but Canadian sportsmen, as in the 

 Toronto meeting about seventeen Americans carried off fully two- 

 thirds of the prizes, and by their entrance kept out many Cana- 

 dians who refused to shoot with them. 



The committee expect to have a prize list amounting to $1,500 

 and have already received intimation from several of the more 

 prominent shooters of western Ontario that they will be pre ent. 

 The programme will he varied somewhat from ordinary trap- 

 shooting by a few hundred shots at live birds. Keystone targets 

 and the rapid-firing system will be the order for trap-shooting. 

 Subscription will be placed bnfore the citizens in a few days, and' 

 the committee expect that as the sportsmen have been character- 

 ized for their liberality that the nvrch'mts and others will not be 

 backward in evincing sufficient interest in the tournament to in- 

 sure its success. Team Bhooting will constitute a feature, of the 

 affair. 



WELLINGhON, Mass., Aug. 30 —The last contest in the mer- 

 chandise match for August took place at the grounds of the Wel- 

 lington Gun Club to day. The scores made follow: Gore 18, Mel- 

 cher and Sanoorn 17, White, Bennett, Bond and Bradbury 16, 

 Co wee 15, Hammond and Porter 12. i he winners of the merchan- 

 dise prizes, the best three scores at 20 birds to count, were: Ben- 

 nett SU .White and Perrv 49, Melcher 46. Gore, ahd Bond ;45. The 

 pr&erscoVes were; StfnboVn 44, Brad'str'eet 41, CcVefe 35, Porter 37. 



CORRY KEYSTONES. 



Corry, Pa., Aug. 28.— At our next meeting our club will prob- 

 ably adopt the Keystone professional rules for shooting for the 

 medals. Our present professional rules call for 6 traps, but at 

 our tournament last week we used 10 traps in a straight line, 

 which is faster and makes the shooting much more difficult. For 

 our club shoots we shall likely use 8 traps, 5 in a straight line, 

 the regular distance from the score, and 3 traps, 60yds. from the 

 score, directly in front of No. 3 trap; 5yds. apart to throw a 

 straight incomer, aDd a right and left-quartering incomer. The 

 iuside traps to throw a right -quarterer, left quarterer, straight- 

 away, right-quarterer and left- quarterer. The traps to be num- 

 bered, inside 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the outside traps 6, 7, 8; to be pulled 

 according to indicator. Mr. M. F- Lindsley, Superintendent of 

 the American Wood Powder Mills, asked me to add to my present 

 rules the 3 outside traps, throwing incomers, which makes the 

 shooting much more like live bird shooting, which I have done. 

 Printed forms of the new rules can be bad bv addressing the Key- 

 stone Manufacturing Company, Corry, Pa. Owing to the bad 

 weather that has prevailed since our tournament opened and con- 

 tinuing until the present time, our attendance was small at our 

 last weekly shoot. First match. Keystone professional rules, 6 

 traps:

 cloudy and one or two light showers fell during the P. M., but tbey 

 were not sufficient to dampen the ardor of the shooters, and the 

 entire programme was carried out. All of the sho iters did not

 prize is a beautiful gold badge, properly engraved, donated by the 

 Canastota G. C, the winner to hold the same until won from him 

 at some future shoot of the Association. A silver butter dish

 Mr. Marsham, of Oneida. This was also donated bydnastota 

 G. C.

CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 26.— The new Fort Dearborn Club of 

 Chicago promises to be about the strongest of our trap-shooting 

 organizations, and has some features in its making which are in- 

 teresting. The membership is limited to thirty, and there are 

 twenty-seven members now. The club is duly incorporated, the 

 original members being VV. N. Low, C D. Gammon, H.D. Nichols, 

 VV. P. Mussey and Abe Kleinman. The President is W. N. Low; 

 Vice-President, C. S. Burton; Secretary-Treasurer, W. P. Mussey. 

 The board of manaeers are Messrs. Gammon, Nicholls and Kleiii- 

 man. The annual dues are $3, and the membership fee $5. Two 

 medals are put in competition, one for live birds and one for 

 artificials, the first worth $50, the latter $20. Mr. Van Uxen offers 

 a suit of moleskins for best average, the Jenny & Graham Gun 

 Co. a coat or gun case for second average. On targets Abe Klein- 

 man offers for average 100 E. & C. or Schultze shells. A very 

 good rule adopted by this club is that in the selection of officers 

 or selection of a team, no nominations shall be made, but all 

 election made by secret ballot. Another good thing is that the 

 members may not form any team whose services do not belong 

 exclusively to the club on call. Fort Dearborn Club will thus go 

 into the next State meet with a very strong team at its command, 

 and will be very likely to make the tall corn crack when it turns 

 loose. The club shoots, which have already begun, will be held at 

 Watson's new park at Burnside.— E. Hough. 



BROOKLYN, Sept. 3.— To-day's varying and trickv wind pre- 

 vented the redoubtable marksmen of the^Acme Club from mak- 

 ing their u'ual large scores in the regular monthly blue-rock con- 

 test at Dexter Park shooting grounds. The standards were thrown 

 right and left from two traps at medium height, and the only 

 man to keep his score sheet clean was T. Short, who broke the pos- 

 sible 20. Mr. Link captured second prize with 17. Three impromtu 

 sweepstakes, in which Kunzweiler, Short, Dethloff. and Link 

 were the principal winners, following the regular event. The 

 scores: Regular club shoot 120 blue-rocks each man, 31yds. rise 

 right and left angles. T. Short 20, L. Link 17. Kunzweiler 15, 

 Menkel 15, M. Schottler 13, Maier 11, Greiner 10, Dethloff 10. Flor- 

 ney 10, Munk 10, Roesch 7, Koerner 7. Referee President C. Deth- 

 loff.

 tive committee. The treasurer reported a balance of &190 in his

 and grounds on which they shoot every Saturday afternoon. The

 Game. Protective Association, but its members are always willing 

 to give information of any illegal shooting or fishing.— M. F. 

 Cook, Secretary.

STAT EN ISLAND, N. Y., Aug. 29. -The Island City Gun Club 

 held a successful sweepstake shoot at South Beach to-day. There 

 was a strong wind from the bay, but as it was at the marksmen's 

 backs it did not affect the shooting materially. The grounds are 

 not of the best, there being but three traps and no fence inclosing 

 the space used for shooting. There were several match shoots 

 decided during the day, and lots of money changed hands on the 

 results. The scores made in the sweepstakes, at 5 birds each 

 man, were as follows: L. Bardes 5, Wm. Grant 5, Chas. Schneider 

 1. T. Smith 4, O. Nichols 3, J. Myers 8, Barney McAloon 3, Neil? 

 Nelson 3, J. ttooney 3, J. Triebel 3. Bardes and Myers had a 

 match shoot at 6 birds each, and tied with 4 apiece.
