FOREST AND STREAM. 



[June 18, 1891- 



mifcted. Tho tresurer's report was accepted. It showed a balance 

 on hanfl of $220.80. ^ ^. 



Mr- Abner Price, chairman nf the Board of Directors, when 

 called on for s recort. spoke A^ery briefly. The gentlemen could 

 866 what" had been done if they would look at the results, he said. 

 His remarks brought out applause. 



Mr. Wollriid N. Low, chairman of the legislative comtnittee, 

 told of the year's work, and mentioned the grave misapprehen- 

 plons of ttie farmirg element in the Legislature in regard to game 

 proiectinn. Some of these doubts, be said, it had been the pleas- 

 ure of tbe committee to remove. Bad it not been for the dead- 

 lock and other delays in the legislative session, the sportsmen's 

 bill would doubtJesB have carried. As it was. one hill had 

 passed to the third reading in the Senate and there was still a 

 chance for it to be passed. Mr. Low decried a mere trap enthu- 

 siasm, and spoke for the growth of a wider sentiment in the Asso- 

 ciation in t'e matter of gamp protection. 



The chair announced the death of ex-President Philetns Clark, 

 and suitable resolutions of respect were passed and ordered en- 

 grossed for sending to the bereaved family. 



In new business Mr. F. C Donald offered an amendment to the 

 constitu'ion permitting the admissiun under examination and 

 caused tipon the facts of the boarri of directors, of such respect- 

 able sportsmen as might wish to join the Association, and who 

 might not belong to any accredited club for reasons of locality or 

 reasons of pecuniary disability. He explained that this occasion 

 might not often arise, but ought to be provided for. During this 

 shoot the directors had on their responsibility permitted Messrs. 

 Fahnestock and Britten, not now acitial members of the Associa- 

 tion, bnt old supporters and members of it, to shoot in the State 

 coatPSt. The directory now asked ratification on this action, and 

 pr<~vision against a suitable case, it being presumed that future 

 dirpctors would be men of judgment and wisdom enough to p«8 

 well upon a case of this kind. Much discussion arose over this. 

 It was decided to vote through the chairmen of the difiPereat del- 

 gations from the clubs making the membership. Mr. Donald 

 thought that these conrtesy-members should be honorary and ad- 

 mitted without dues. Mr. Booth moved to amend by making 

 their admission fee $3, and their annual dues $L Mr. Low moved 

 to refer the matter to the incoming Hoard. Mr. Donald with 

 some warmth contested that this would be only doing illegally 

 what he now songbt to have done legally, and would leave the 

 present directory under the discourtesy of not being sustained in 

 an action which they had only intended to be delicate and kind. 

 Mr. Donald continued and said that inasmuch as the rebuke must 

 come he would forestall it. He thereupon moved tft table the 

 whole matter, and this was done. Later by motion of Mr. Kern 

 it was taken from the taMe nnd on vote the action of the directory 

 in admitting Messrs. Fahnestock and Britten was indorsed. Par- 

 liamentarily speaking this was ratiier a lame way out, btit no 

 real discourtesy was intended anywhere, some of the members 

 votin e who did not anpreciate the real bearings of the case. 



On motion of C 1. Felton the constitution wa« so amended that 

 in future the outgoing ofQcers will hold over until July 15, thus 

 leaving the administration of power until relieved. This was a 

 wise movement, as previously the annual tournament, after the 

 convention and election, was really completed without a working 

 head, being really given under two directorates. 



Mr. Organ proposed to so amend the constitution that a club 

 could enter more than one club in the State club teams shoot. He 

 thought this would avoid diecord in choosing the team represen- 

 tatives This met opoositiion. Mr. Price moved to table and 

 Mr. Organ thereupon withdrew the motion. 



O ' motion of Col Felton it was decided to appoint a committee 

 of Ave, to be chosen by the incoming president, for the revision 

 of the Illinois Slate rules. This carried easily, for the rules are 

 acknowledged antiquated.in some respects under modern develop- 

 ments of shooting. . . , . .„ 



On motion of Mr. Low the incoming president wm appoint a 

 committe to revise the constitution and by-laws. 



Mr. Peasley, for the Carmen Gun Club, moved to reconsider the 

 action of thp Association in disqualifying that club and Mr. Bab- 

 cofk, its representative, who won the L. C. Smith cup year before 

 la^t. He s'lld the Carmen Club had new facts to offer. Mr. 

 Organ moved for a written statement. Mr. Donald moved to bar 

 further expense to the Association in the Carmen Gun Clnb mat- 

 ter. Mr. Peasley thought Mr. Shf pard's late invt'Stigation had 

 been imperfect, and Mr. Shepard hotly denied that it was any- 

 thing of the kind. The chair rapped loudly for order. There 

 being no second to the onginal motion the matter dropped. Mr. 

 Babcock doesn't get that money. , . . 



Mr. Organ moved the next convention be held in Chicago, it 

 wa= explained to him that there was no other place to hold a con- 

 vention. , . , , 



Mr. Low moved that the president's address be printed and 

 given to the sportsmen's journals for publication. This was 

 carrieil. 



Mr. Organ nominated Dr. N. Rows for m-election as president. 

 The latter with blushes declined, thanking the Association for the 

 past honor heartily. 



Mr Gillespie nominated Mr. Abner Price for president. Amid 

 grea' applause the ballot was cast for him at once, on motion of 

 Mr. Dnnald. „ 



On motion of Mr. Donald the ballot was cast for Mr. Thomas 

 Marshall, of Kelthsburg, for first vice-president. Again great 

 appUuse met tbis popular choice. . , , , 



On motion of Col. Felton the ballot for second vice-president 

 was cast for Mr. Wm Harbaug^', of Ganeseo. 



On motion of Mr. Kern the chair cast the ballot of the Associa- 

 tion for penretary-treasurer for the present faithful incumbent, 

 '■■ Mr W. L. Shepard. , . 



The cabinet of directors wiU be appointed hy the mcommg 

 president. 



Col. Felton, with customary courtesy, moved an expression of 

 thanks to the outgoing officers, to the donors of prizes, t^i the 

 press. Mr. Richards offered a written resolution thanking espec- 

 ially the ourgoing officers, the domrs, and the Palmer House. 

 Col. Felton withdrew and the resolution waa adopted. 



Mr. John G. Smith, of Algona, Iowa, president of the Iowa State 

 Sportsmen's Association, was present at the right hand of the 

 chair, and was loudly cheered when called upon to speak. Mr. 

 Smith explained that it was late ard that he was weary from 

 travel. He complimented and thanked Che genilfmen. 



The convention a ijourned at 11:15 P. M., attention of all being 

 first caUed to the Possum Club banquet, at which all were ex- 

 pected on Thursday evening next. 



Wednesday, Third Day, June 10. 



The weather continued bright and pleasant and another highly 

 enjoyable day was uissed. Still other new men dropped in, 

 among these Jack Winston from S . Louis and Jim Riley from 

 Kansas City. Shooting was kept up steadily at both the live-bird 

 and inanimates traps. The first shooting at the live birds was in 

 the closing of the ties in the Board of Trade diamond badge hhoot, 

 the first called up being six tie* left in the 9 hole la t nignt. Mr. 

 Steck, o'le of these gentlemen, was not on hand in time and was 

 declared forfeit. The following are ttie scores in The ties as shot:

C. B. Burton won fourth with 7 straight. 



Immediately following the Board of Trade ties the hardly less 

 interesting event of the great annual club team shoot was called 

 up. Shooting in this was only about half finished when darkness 

 came. The scores will therefore be eiven in to-morrow's report 

 when the contest is finished. 



THE TAKGBTB. 



No very pressing endeavor is ever made at the Illinois State 

 tournaments to crowd through a lot of target shooting. More 

 money could be made out of this and some visitors better pleased 

 if more target events were hustled through. Bnt in spite of this 

 the shooting hp re went on in a pretty steady manner and five 

 good events were run off. Jim Elliott did not miss a bird all day. 

 At the close of this his third day here Charlie Budd had only 

 missed three birds in all. McMurchy missed four birds in two 

 and a half days.

Thursday, Fourth Bay, June 11, 



Again a lovely shooting day and a lovely shooting crowd. More 

 new faces, and among others many lady visitors. Mr. Lew. Har- 

 rison, of Minne polls, appeared to-day, likewise Messrs. M. T. 

 Hart and Geo. I. Maillet, of Crown Point, Ind. Mr. Skinner, of 

 the Whitney gun, was also shooting to-day. McMurchy left lo- 

 night for the Bust. The falling oil in numbers is not yet notice- 

 able. In the ^1500 guaranteed purse, in hve birds, the entry ran 

 near SO, and the target entries ran high aU day. The tourna- 

 ment is phenomenal. 



The club team rhampionship, teams of four men, is an event re- 

 garded by Illinois shooters with an interest almost equal to that 

 in the Board of Trade badge shoot, and the rivalry of the differ- 

 ent clubs is very strong. To-day the honors fell to the youngest 

 club of them all, the Fort Dearborn Club, of Chicago, organized 

 only last winter, but already one ot the notables, and made up of 

 some of our best known Chicago shooters. This club offered for 

 its team Abe and George Kleinman, W^ W. McFarlacd and Andy 

 Thomas. The latter gentleman is newer in Chicago than even 

 Fort Dearborn Club, but the transplanting from Kansas City to 



Chicago has not hurt him any in his shooting craft. To-dav ag 

 he fired the last shot and went out with the 10 straight which 

 assured his club tbe victory he wa< greeted with a round of 

 applause which made even RoUa Organ drop the sandwich he was 

 eating, and caused the seven Ethiopian cook? to hide under the 

 lunch ciunter. 



Mike Eich, who had ju3t emerged from winning the champion- 

 ship of the State in a very clean and clever Wftv. went to pieces 

 on the club team shoot, acq'iiring only 5 out of 10 birds, much to 

 the amusement of his confreres, though gr-^atly to the confusion 

 of the Chicago Shooting Club, who thought they hid a lead-pipa 

 sinch on first, as usual. Mike said he could not s-ee the birds at 

 the late hour in the evening, after 4 o'clock, bnt was guy«d all the 

 more mercilessly for his explanation. Mr. L iw of the Cumber- 

 land team, also went wrong, only getting 5 out of 10. To-day 

 Alex. Loyd has started a new cluh, the only qualifications for 

 admittance bfing that a member shall not be able to get over 6 

 out of 10. He has the assurance of Messrs, Eieh and Low that 

 they will join at once. 



During the day the new traps worked splendidly, and the shoot- 

 ing was steady and the flight of the birds satisfactory. Every- 

 thing went smoothly, barring one little hitch over a bird which 

 Geo. Hofmann caugtit. This bird came in and lit on a cross- 

 beam of tbe grand stand, Mr- Shepard, acting referee, gave it a 

 dead bird. It was challenged for shot marks, under the Illinoia 

 State rules, ^nd it was hard to decide whether or not it had been 

 wounded. Finally, it was announced by the committee a,pp anted 

 that the referee had changed his decision to "lost bird.'" The 

 reason was that the bird could not have been gathered by band 

 by a pt^rson standing on the ground. A local custom of the Wat- 

 son's Park had momentarily confused the referee. Had this bird 

 been given dead Mr. Hif mann's team would have been in the tie, 

 while as it was it was be a ■ en. This was unfortunate to happen 

 just as it did, but. wa« doubtless correct on the facts. 



That irrepressible bluffer. Jack Winston, was on hand to-day, 

 and he and Roll Organ got tangled up together, and the result 

 was that the latter, or rather Al. Hofman, put up a forfr^it of $35 

 that Jack would not deposit S125 that evening to bind him for a 

 series of 5 r.j,ceB, 100 birds each, §100 each, to be shot on alternate 

 days next week, guns to be under Slbs. The Chicago men were 

 not afraid of this race, but to their regret Abraham declined to 

 shoot. Abe shoots a .13-gauge Scott over Bibs., and does not care 

 to change guns. Besides, he says he can make his own matches. 

 He isn't mad enough to shoot yet. If they can get Abe real good 

 and hot, he will likely enough shoot Jack, and beat him, too. As 

 it was Roll had nothing to do this evening but to hand Jack his 

 $35. 



The following are the scores of the club team shoot. Third con- 

 test, club team championship, open to teams of 4 men from any 

 club members of the State Association. 10 live bird=. entrance 

 pricf^ of birds only. Fir-t nriza, value 81.57; second, 887.50; third, 

 $72.60; fourth, S60: fifth. ?.50:

Immediately at the close of the team shooting it was announced 

 that the Slate events at live birds were finished, and the tourna- 

 ment was LOW open to the world, no genilemon barred. This an- 

 nouncement was received with great pleasure by many of toe non- 

 resident shooters who have come here for what they know is the 

 best chance in the country for some good old-fasluoced live-bird 

 shooting for big money. The books were at once thrown open for 

 the S500gnaianteed purse, andbetore Secretary Shepard could bat 

 his eve the entry had gone up over 70, and the purse was filled and 

 overflowing. Shooting went on steadily in this event lill dark. 

 At that time 35 men had shot, and there were only 3 straights in. 

 So it 1 oks as though some one would make a winning. The scores 

 of this shoot will be given for to-morrow, at which time it will be 

 concluded. The following is the announcement of rules for the 

 open tournameni: All live-bird ctmtesis in the following pro- 

 gramme shot under American Shooting Association rules, with 

 the following exceptions: The shooter shall not put his gun to the 

 shoulder until he calls "pull." The load of shot shall be limited 

 to 1M'3Z. for all gauges. A bird to be scored dead must be gathered 

 within three minuti s, and must show shot marks. Ten-gauge 

 guns shall stand at 30yds., and aU other gauges. Bibs, or under, 

 shall be allowed J^iyd. per gauge. 



THE TARGETS. 



Meantime the open tournament at tai-gets had progressed 

 steadily, joUilj and satisfactorily. More money could ha ^'e been 

 made out of thesetraps under a crowding management, butevery- 

 body was satisfied, and a better target shoot has not been hpJd 

 anywhere this year. A considerable number of Fred Kimble's 

 Peorias have been put out of the combai, and a good many more 

 will be served likewise before the end of the week, f'-r every 

 s' ooter here has blood in his eye, and is mighty apt to slay 

 through the week. FoUowinc are the .'cores:

 were Powers, .Kazoo, P. North, McMurchy, J. 0. and H. Bab-
