CHICAGO TRAP NOTES. 



CniCAGO, 111., May 30.— Tbe programme of the seventeenth 

 aiiunal tourBameaC of ttie Illinois State yportfmeu's Association 

 is a very fascinatintir little book for a shooter. The money offered 

 at this shoot is greater in amount than at any previous tourna- 

 ment, they tell me. The prizes in the great live-hiid Board of 

 Trade badge shoot foot up .892^.50, smd for the L. O. Smith cup con- 

 test, targetp, the total is $797, This is quite aside from the 

 entrance money, of course. The club team championship offers a 

 total of S427. These are the three great Illinois stand-by events. 

 The open tournament will be full of attractions as ever, and the 

 aliens in attendance should be many. New York State shoot may 

 lead this one on targets, but as a mixed tournament it is almost 

 certain that the Illiuois event will be tbe chief one of the entire 

 trap season this year. .John Watson says he will have plenty of 

 birds. 



About that St, Louis wild bird tournament this week. Here in 

 Chicago we had banked on that being the sensational event of the 

 day, as no wild pigeons have been shot at trap for years. Yet 

 Charlie Willard, just back yesterday from St. Louis, says that 

 the shoot was rather dismal, the entries not running over about 

 13. Tuis seems singular, and is a gi'eat surprise, as wo thought 

 tnia destined to a shooting boom in attendance. About 5,000 wild 

 birds were on hand. Charlie says they all started promptly, but 

 were slow, and easy killed, compared with the good domestic 

 bii^d. He did not want to see wild birds shot at Illinois tourna- 

 ment, as there was talk of doing to some extent if the birds could 

 be ob'aincd from Mr. Haggerty. 



Mr. J, E. Limberg ("Wick"), of Cincinnati, dawned on the Chi- 

 cago hoi /zon last Tnursday and got acquainted with some of the 

 boys arouud here. He reports Al. Bandle as holding live bird 

 shoots at his grounds two d'ays in the week. All Chicago men will 

 be glad to tiear of Al's success, andWicli's also. 



It stems there is a certain Cincinnati man, Mr. Wm. Rhines, 

 pitch! !■ in the baseball club of that fragrant town, who is some- 

 thing of a pigeon shot. It will be remembered that one Adrian 

 C. Anson, captain of the Chicago baseball team, is also something 

 ofaahooier. His meteoric career among the Chicago shooters 

 last winter will be remembered by most trap readers. Now, it 

 seems further that this Mr. Rhiucs wishes to shoot Cap'u Anse 

 a pigeon match, though ho hasn't had nerve enough to ^ay an.\- 

 thing to Anse about It ^et. If Anse does hear about it there is 

 likely to be a "tio game" card up in Philadelphia this week, for 

 he certainly would have to qtiit long enotigh to go after Mr, 

 Rhines. I am authorized by Captain Anson to state that there 

 will soon appear in tije columns of F orest and .Stream a com- 

 plete and re^■^ged list of all the Chicago shooters who iiave refused 

 to shoot him a race. This black list, if he may be believed, will 

 fill a colirmn in the paper and will contain the names of many of 

 our most prominent sportsmen. 



Mr, R. B, Organ and Mr. Alex. T. Loyd will soon get together 

 on tiieir 100-bird race. After this is over Mr. Organ proposes to 

 challenge Mr. Loyd another race, on Grand Calumet Heights 

 grounds, and has a scheme by which he iotends to make all the 

 birds drivers. The grounds lie right upon the lake beach, and tbe 

 water for quite a distance out is shallow. Mr. Organ proposes to 

 establish tue score on a platform built on weighted barrels otit in 

 the lake, the traps beinc set on the beacb, just at the edge of the 

 water. At this club tlte birds do not fly out over the lake, but 

 generally head straight for the barns, and this arrangement of 

 Mr. Organ's oueht to insure a very high per cent, of fast drivers. 



Considerable practice shooting has beeu going on for the past 

 two weeks, by way of preparation for the State tournament.

WOLSTENCROFT'S TOURNAMENT. 



Philadelphia, May 38.— Wm. H. Wolstpncrof I's second tour- 

 nament at Tacony Driving Park, on May 2d, 27, ;;8, and although 

 the attendance of trap shots was excellent, the threateaing weatlTer 

 of the first and last day kept many away, and made the event a 

 losing one, flnancially. Mr. Wolsteiicrof t, with his usual liberality, 

 put up $535 in guaranteed purses. Among the many out-of-town

 J. Tread way, F. Barron, W. Timm, C. Lane, and many other pro- 

 minent local sportsmen, took part in the shooting. iNliHS Ray Hun- 

 singer, "Little Hawkere," the celebrated female shot, came oti the 

 groundand was warmly welcomed. Later she gavea very interest- 

 ing exhibition of her skill with the shotgun. Mj-. Wm. H. Wolsten- 

 crof t refereed all the shots to the satisfaction of every one present. 

 Keystone Rapid Firing System rules governed the shooting, ke^ - 

 stone targets; all the purses divided 40,30, 20 and 10 per cent.; all 

 surplus addea to purses. In nearly all instances, ties divided. One 

 of the features of the meeting was a challenge match between 

 Enoch D. Miller, and Alfred J. Rust, the latter winning by a score 

 of 10 straight. Miller breaking 7. Rust was enthusiastically 

 applauded.

 two extra events. Cruaranteed purses amounting to $175, to which 

 were added all the surplus money, were divided between the win-

 birds. Professional shots will be barred. The wild pigeon tour- 

 nament held at Compton Avenue Park this week was not much of 

 a success in point of attendance. A number of iirofessional shoot- 

 ers were in attendance, but tlie matches were mostly between in- 

 rhviduals. This afternoon the St. Louis Gun Club shoots wild 

 pigeons for a medal, and the Compton Hill Gun Club has a double 

 medal shoot. Trap shooting is having a boom in this citj', and 

 greater interest is taken in the matches tham for years past. 

 Much of the success is due to the work of Rawlins Bros., the 

 headquarters for sportsmen in this city. — Aberdeen.

NORWALK C. C. 



THE boat and clttb houses of tbe Norwalk G. O. were in- 

 formally opened May 30.31. Early Saturday morning ten. 

 of the "boys" started for a two days' cruise and camp at 

 tbe club house, at the "Kuob," Wilson's Point, arriving at the 

 house about 10:30. In the afternoon several paddling races sub- 

 stituted the cruise to Westport, as there was not wind enough 

 to entice them to start. After lunch a start was made for Rotten 

 Point, to see the fireworks and enjoy a jolly lark. A pleasant 

 evening was enjoyed, and the presentation of two handsome canoe 

 lamps to our worthy commodore and secretary, bv an unknown 

 gentleman, was the event of tbe evening. About li P. M., under 

 the escort of the commodore and secretary and their brigbt-flam- 

 ing lamps, we returned to the club house. Sunday morning proved 

 damp and stormy and disappointed those who had planned a 

 quiet sail or paddle to some quiet nook. At 1:30 it cleared up and 

 a light breeze caused a hasty scramble to get duffle together and 

 stowed away iu the boats. Sails were set and all were sonn under 

 way. The breeze was a failure and soon died away; paddles were 

 then put in swing and the course laid for home. The boat house 

 reached, sails furled, boats washed out and roll call, completed 

 programme for the day. 



The club is now in a very prosperous and successful condition. 

 Three new members were elected at the May meeting. Two new 

 and very fast boats were added to the flpet May 1. Commodore J. 

 C. Green's new 15,6X36 is a beauty, as well as a fiver, and will be 

 a leader in the club races. Miner Dibble has added one of the 

 latest modelled and neatest constructed 15.9x38 boats, and with
