THE BANQUET. 



The banquet in the vast dining ball of The Midland to-night was 

 a sumptuous and elegaut affair, and by its magnificence Kansas 

 City fairly and completely vanquished Chicaeo again. Tbe assem- 

 blage "was a 1 remendous one, and i t is probable that in all the his- 

 tory of similar events, in the West at least, 1 tu're has never been 

 such another. Tbe list of names ot those in attendance is given 

 in fall. To give the residence of each would occupy too much 

 space. They came from all over the country, and made this as- 

 semblage one whose equal every man present confessed he had 

 never seen in the history of sportsmanship. The following were 

 present: C. T. Alleu't, Fred Allen, Dr. Anderson, A. C. Anson, G.

 The menu was elegant and extensive, and over its discussion 

 he guests lingered until midnight. The chairman ot the even- 

 ng, Mr. J. H. McGee, then called for order and introduced the, 

 first speaker. Col. D. S. Twitchell. of Kansas, who made an elo- 

 quent address of welcome and paid a touching tribute to the 

 memory of the honored and beloved sportsman, Drurv Under- 

 wood. Mr Woltred N Low, of Chicago, replied in a speech of all 

 his usual eloquence, dignity and fitness. Mr. Low said that all 

 Chicago mourned Drttry Underwood as a type of the highest and 

 noblest sportsmanship. He confessed Chicago abashed by the 

 magnificence of the reception Kansas City had extended to" her. 



Mr. Low was greeted with ringing applause, and received the ex- 

 treme courtesy of a rising salute from the Kansas City men. 



It was announced by the chair that the Hon. J. C. Tarsney, who 

 was to have replied to the toast "Our Guests," was absent, un- 

 avoidably, as was also Maj. Wm. Warner, proponent of the toast 

 "Kansas City and Chicago," reply to which was to have been 

 made by that well known and esteemed gentleman, Mr. Charles 

 Kern, of Chicago, whose remarks would doubtless have been a 

 feature of the evening. 



Maj. B. L. Woodson, of Kansas City, spoke to the toast "The 

 Chicago Team," and was felicitous to a degree in his remarks, 

 making the Chicago boys feel pretty proud of themselves. Acting 

 for Chairman McGee, Mr. Low introduced for reply Col. C. E. 

 Felton, "tbe Chevalier Bayard of sportsmanship;" and he named 

 him right. Col. Felton responded feelingly and well, and was 

 greeted by the utmost enthusiasm by the old and new friends who 

 all have learned to love him. Col. Felton was asked also to speak 

 upon the enforcement of the game laws; and in the course of bis 

 remarks he referred to facts and accomplishments in game pro- 

 tection in a telling way. 



Col. John T. Crisp, of Kansas City, made a thrilling address 

 about the World's Fair and the Kansas City team, to which the 

 Fobest And Stream representative was assigned for reply. 



Col. Thos. Moonlight, ex-Governor of Wyoming, made the 

 speech of the hour in his remarks upon "The Sportsman's Aim in 

 Life." Col. Moonlight outlined graphically the nobility and gen- 

 erosity of the typical sportsman, and extolled the beautifully 

 sportsmanlike character of the contests just closed. He gave the 

 pot-hunter and game seller a good "roasting," and cautioned the 

 shooters against shooting for mercenary motives. Shoot for 

 honor, gentlemen, said Col. Moonlight, and not for tbe money 

 there is in it. That is the better aim. Money is the destroying 

 element in sport. Col. Moonlight Fat down amid prolonged ap- 

 plause. Replying to his address. Dr. N. Howe said: "The sports- 

 man's real aim in life is to kill. Col. Moonlight is a real sports- 

 man. He has so thoroughly covered the ground in his remarks 

 that he has killed for me all possibility of making a speech. Will 

 the reporters please say it was killed by Moonlight, with an 

 upper case Mi"' They did. 



Ex-Governor T. T. Crittenden, of Kentucky, spoke to the toast 

 "Missouri and Illinois," and made of it absolutely a polished and 

 finished oration, whose effect was electrical even at 2:30 in the 

 morning. Gen. Crittenden is a noble and dignified looking man, 

 a statesman, orator aud happy thinker, and his presence would 

 grace any board and any assemblage in the land, as certainly it 

 did this. Dr. J. M. Hutchinson responded for Chicago in his 

 customary droll quaint way. 



The ex-Mayor of Kansas City, Hon. Joseph J. Davenport, a 

 singularly distinguished looking young man, spoke for "The True 

 Sportsman," and did it well. Mr. Abner Price of Chicago was to 

 have replied, but no one cotild find him. The Hon. William H. 

 Wallace, who was billed to appear in the role of "Good Night," 

 was also absent. It was now time for "giod morning." The com- 

 pany dispersed. The last act of the sportsmen assembled was to 

 drink a silent toast to the memory of Drury Underwood, the 

 well-beloved brother, friend and chief among the craft. 



Friday, Fifth Bay, Nov. lh. 

 The heavens were weeping over the dissipation of the night 

 before. Most of the shooting company were content to linger 

 about the hotel until a late hour, and a 12 o'clock breakfast was 

 the rule. The rain continued throughout the day, and shooting 

 was very disagreeable. Score:

During the progress of the banquet a very nleasant and grace- 

 ful event occurred. Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, of Kansas City, and Mr. 

 M, J, Eich, ot Chicago, it will be remembered, were tied on the 

 highest, score of 4S for the Jaccard diamond medal offered for the 

 best individual score. Mr Elliott called Mr. Eich to the head of 

 the table and publicly withdrew from the tie, thus giving the 

 medal to Mr. Eich. This delicate act was received with deafen- 

 ing cheers. Mr. Elliott knew be could shoot Mr. Eich out, and 

 that he declined to do so is but another proof of the rare courtesy 

 with which Kansas City has treated her guests throughout. 



At the close of the banquet ft formal resolution was adopted 

 desiring the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association to set on foot 

 a plan for cooperation in the matter of more efficient laws for 



game protection and for a greater extension of the park system 

 of game preservation. 



Saturday, Sixth Day, Nov. 15. 



The rain continued and the day was disagreeable. There was a 

 little desultory work at the traps, but it amounted to little. The 

 first event at live birds was run off rapidly.

Shooting now began in the most important sweepstakes of the 

 meetine, the 25 live birds, $25 a man event, for which several 

 shooters had lingered later in the week than they had at first in- 

 tended. There were 21 entries in this shoot, and it took high-class 

 work to be in at the finish. It was nearly dark at the close of the 

 shooting, and those who had dropped too many birds to get a 

 place, by request withdrew in order to give those who were still 

 in it a chance to finish before dark. When the accounting was 

 made it was found that Carl Guinnotte, champion Elliott and 

 Charlie Budd each had 'em all. Each of these men had done 

 clever work, Charlie Budd making some startling kills with his 

 little Smith, 6out near the boundary flags. Ctiarle is evidently 

 envious of Long Range Porter. Harvey McMurchy split second 

 with Col. Felton, who shot Jim Elliott's gun and beat, his friend 

 and opponent Jim Riley, out by one bird. Score: 



Twenty-five live birds, $25:

A handsome silk quilt aud bed set was offered as a special to 

 first man on this shoot, but the tie was not shot out. Mr. Guin- 

 notte and Mr. Budd united and presented their claims to the 

 wife of Mr. Elliott, who accepted the gift with thanks. 



During the afternoon Mr. Riley, of Kansas City, took advan- 

 tage of the services of a skillful card carver, who was plying his 

 unique craft upon the grounds, and preseuted with his compli- 

 ments to his friend Col. Felton, of Chicago, a large and ornament- 

 ally embossed card bearing the words '-Compliments of J.' E. 

 Riley to Chas. F. Felton; Chicago-Kansas City. Score. 46—46. 

 Nov. 11 and 12.1890." The score was also cut into the sheet in 

 detail, and the whole made a pretty memento, which Col. Felton 

 Will probably cherish as long as he It ve^. Appropriate speeches 

 and hearty cheers accompanied this little bit "of by-plav. 



It was dark when the party arrived at the hotel. The 6:15 "Q." 

 for the north bore away some of the, Chicago party. Others still 

 remained, and what plans the boundless hospitality of the Kansas 

 City men may have on them is not yet to be said. 



So closed the great shoot. It is great in nothing so much as in 

 the era it has established of cleanness, generosity, nobleness and 

 magnanimity in the sport it so well represented. Surely the 

 spirit, of Drury Underwood was over it all. E. Hough. 



THE NEW YORK STATE SHOOT. 



Bomb, N. Y., Nov. 10.— This town is doing itself proud in respect 

 to the June meoting of the State Association. 



The attendance will bel«rge and wilt include m-irksmen from 

 all parts of the State. At the convention last June in Lyons there 

 were about 500 sportsmen in attendance. This number will be in- 

 creased at the next meeting. Heretofore the bulk, of the prizes 

 offered has been in the shape of merchandise contributed by the 

 businessmen of the towns where the conventions have been held. 

 At the last meeting it was decided that only one merchandise 

 prize should hereafter be given. This necessitated a guarantee 

 fund of $1,800 for prizes. This is $600 more than usual. The 

 Rome Gun Club has guaranteed this amount. Heretofore a few 

 of the crack shots in attendance at the meetings have been able 

 to control the big money prizes and divide the proceeds, leaving 

 the others little or nothing. This has now been changed, so as to- 

 give all a fair chance. 



Thomas H. Stryker, of Rome, the president of the State Sports- 

 men's Association, has the fixing of the dates for the shoot. He 

 will probably decide on the second week in June. The tourna- 

 ment proper begins on Tuesday morning and closes on Friday 

 evening. Twenty five traps will be in use, and it will require 

 10,000 clay-pigeons to supply the demand. The f=hoot, will be beld; 

 on ihe range ot the Rome Gun Club, Bissell farm, Floyd avenue.. 



At the Lyons convention a committee was aDpoiuted to revise 

 the rules and regulations governing the shoot. The committee 

 held a meeting in this city a few dnys since. The meetiutf was 

 called to ord^r by chairman T. H. Stryker. The following gentle- 

 men comprising the committee were present: T. H. Stryker, 

 Rome; E. D. Hicks. Rochester; H.L.Gates, Utica; Harry Avling, 

 Syracuse; Jacob Koch, Buffalo. There were also present W. M. 

 Richmond < f Charlotte, G. Dexter of Utica, and W. R. Hunting- 

 ton, A. H. Goll v, Charles Caruiichael and M. R. Bingham of Rome. 



On motion M. R. Bingham was made secretary. Harry Ayling 

 of Syracuse, was allowed to act on the committee in place of Mr. 

 Chase, absent. 



After a general discussion on the power of the committee and 

 the interests of the association, it was decided that at. the next 

 annual tournament of the New York State Association, to bo held 

 at Rome in 1891, contests Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 be for cash prizes, 

 and that contest No. 4 be for merchandise prizes. 



Mr. Hicks moved that the cash prizes in Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 be 

 divided equally and consist of $320 in each contest, and contest 

 No. 7 (race for team championship) be $200. 



Mr. Gates moved that a uniform entrance fee of $4 be charged 

 in contests Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6. Also that contest No. 7 (race for 

 team championship) be governed by the same rules and condi- 

 tions as in 1890. 



Mr. Hicks moved that contests Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 consist of 15 

 single birds. 



Mr. Gates moved that the condition aud arrangement of contest 

 No. 4 (the merchandise contest) be left with the Rome Gun Club., 



Mr. Hicks moved that each cash purse be divided into five 

 prizes, as follows: First prize 25 per cent., secoud prize 25 per 

 cent., third prize 20 per cent., fourto prize 15 per cent., fifth prize 

 15 per cent., and that each contestant in ties be allowed to draw 

 his proportion of money at: the end of each contest. 



Mr. Koch moved that all contests be shot from 5 traps, set leveh 

 and at. unknown angles. 2vds. apart aud in a segment of a circle, 

 tbe radius of which shall be 18 vds , and that the traps be num- 

 bered from No. 1 on the left to No. 5 on the right consecutively. 



The question of rules under which the shooting should be carried 

 on was brought before the committee. All rules not amended are 

 to remain as prescribed by the American Shooting Associftt ton. 



The conditions and arrangements of the Dean Richmond Trophy 

 contest will be duly announced as soon as the committee appointed 

 for that purpose-shall meet and decide. 



NEWARK VS. LEHIGH.— Al lento wn, Pa., Nov. 16.-The 

 Newark and Lehigh Gun Clubs met for the second time in a 

 friendly contest, the Newark being wunner for the second time. 

 It may be remembered that at the first contest, last April at 

 Erb's Park, the Newarks make the remarkable score of 96 out of 

 100, a score never equaled by a club of ten men. The birds were 

 not what they ought to be, as we had no place to keep them, and 

 had to start too early to get birds owing to the scarcity. The 

 match was at 10 birds, 30yds., Hurlingham rules:
