THB POSSUM CLUB B.^NQUET. 



Prominent in this week's entertainment for visiting shooters 

 was the banqnot to-nigiit under the auspices of that rare bod.v, 

 the Possum Club, of Chicago. That organization could haC'e 

 grown BO soon to such proportions ou none but Chicago soil. Its 

 history has been brief but full of glory. The idea of the Possum 

 Club was a happy thought. Under its roof tbere are no club lines, 

 no factions and no dissensions. It has united the sportsmen and 

 solidified the sportsmanship of Chicago. No club could oiler a 

 banqnet this week to the sportsmen of the Illinois State Sports- 

 men's Association except the one and only Possum Club. 



At 8;30 the guests were seated at table under the roof of that 

 ■well-known hostlery. the Palmer House. The attendance was fair. 

 Those who were not on band missed the best part of the week, for 

 an evening at, the Possum Club Is one flavored with Attic sale. 



The menu was simple, but coming from Ft. Dearborn and ihe 

 Gun Club tents the gentlemen present needed little of the alleged 

 skill of the Palmer Hou^e chef. 



in due course thectiairman of the evening, Dr. N. Rowe, called 

 the gentlemen from cigars and convers itiou. He de.'scribed briefly 

 the origin ol the Possum Club and its influence on Chicago sports- 

 manship, and dwelt lor a moment on the successes of the week, 

 and called for Mr. Chas. Kern, president of the Audubon Club and 

 sn ex-presiaent of the State As=ociation, to respond to the toast, 

 "The Sportsman." Mr. Kern pictured for that type a kindly, 

 generous and humane man, a noble man. 



The chair called tor Mr. Abner Price, president-elect of the 

 association, to speak of "The Trap Shooter." Mr. Price's great 

 personal p opularity was manifest hy the cheering which broke 

 forth at the mt^ntion of his name. Mr. Price said that in the early 

 days of shooting around Chicago he and his brother had been con- 

 sidfred as good duck shots a.« any, and he had supposed be could 

 <>asily kill every pigeon that might fly out of a trap. A friend in- 

 vited him to a tr&p shoot, however, and to his dismay he found he 

 only got one out oi his ten birds. This set him thinking, and later 

 he began and continued to shout s'eadily ai the trap, and as the 

 field shooting grew poorer, he cared the more for the trap. He 

 had seen the trap shooting of Chicago in its inlancy, was an orig- 

 inal memb-r of the old Audubon club and of the old historic 

 l-rairie club. Trap shooting got to have a boom. At one time he 

 had known the clubs to have 20.000 wild bird.?. No 8h0'>t so good 

 as that of this week had been held, however. He had found trap 

 shooters for the most part gentlemen. He asked their kindliness 

 for his administration. 



The chair called for Col. C. E. Felton, the Chevalier Bayard of 

 Western sportsmen, and again a storm of applause began as he 

 arose to speak upon "Tbe Ethics of Field Sports." Col. Felton 

 outlined the various sports of the field properly to be so called, 

 and showed their tendency toahigii manhood. Shooting, angling, 

 coursing, all these, even honting the bumble coon, he conceived 

 to be of occasional and frequent benefit to a man, provided no 

 element of money-making ever entered into the sport. Live bir i 

 shooting at the trap the Colonel indorsed, out said he did not like 

 tnanimite target shooting. The ethics of field sports suggested 

 themselves to gentlemen, and fair play, tiumauity, generosity, all 

 these you will find innate with the real sp >rtsma,n. 



Mr. J. G. Smith, president of the Iowa State Sportsmen's Asso- 

 ciation, was to have replied to the "Protection oi Game and Fish," 

 but was absent, having been summoned home that evening. Mr. 

 W. J. Edbrooke, oue-of the directors, and now a resident super- 

 vising architect for the Government at Washington, replied 

 bri' flv in Mr. Smith's stead. 



Mr." Wolf red JS . Low, also an ex-president of the Association and 

 one of our best known sportsmen, replied to the toast "The Illi- 

 nois State Sportsmen's Association." Mr. Low said the Associ- 

 ation needed no eulogy, the prfsent t mrnament spoke loudly 

 enough for it, nor did any of its members, for they usually spoke 

 loualv enougb for themselves. The motto of the Associaiion was 

 '■Pulij " Now. he had something in his mind on which he wanted 

 the Association, '-nd all Illinois, and all Kansas City, and all the 

 West, and all the United Stales, to puU upon, \vith a long and 

 strong pull and one all together. He wanted measures taken for 

 a World's tournament at Chicago in 1893 at the time of the World's 

 Fair. He wanted an Ail- American team to challenere all Europe 

 and a $,50,000 purse oft'ered m competition. He was confident that 

 if the Pmnce of Wales would drop his baccarat long enough to 

 come over hero and shoot a little, the bf^ys would shoot him to a 

 standstill and make him walk home unless Victoria sent for him 

 He was confident that this tonrnament for the great fair was a 

 necessity. Steps should be taken at once upon the matter. He 

 had the assurance of Mr. Elliott and Mr, R ley. of Kansas Citv, 

 that the latter city would help, aud he wished to state that he first 

 heard the idea of a World's tournamenr. advanced by ihese two 

 gentlemen. Mr. Low's remarks were interrupted by frequent ap- 

 plause. The idea of the grand tournament went like wildfire. It 

 Is safe to say now that such a tournament will be held, and that 

 it will be a success. When that time comes, let these pages be the 

 record of its inception. An editorial in Forest and Strbam, at 

 the time Chicago secured the fair, bore in this direction; but the 

 I'ossum Olub was the Bcepe of the firet actual movement hereon. 



Mr. R. B. Organ, too well known all through the "West to need 

 mention here, told what he knew about "The True Object of 

 Sportsmen's OInhs." He thought that object should be harmony, 

 fun. improvement, and vet moderation in all things. He did not 

 think a club should be devoted to house wsrming. He had lately 

 moved into a new house, and some members of his club had come 

 to opeu his house for him. They brought him a $.50 Inmp. but it 

 cost him S175 befnra the houso-opeuiug was over, because be had 

 to settle for every j.ack potthat was opened along with the house 

 that night, and he nad counted 73 cards in one deck, 9 of them 

 aces, and not on ace on his side. He did not think house-opening 

 was one of the proper objects of sportsmen's clubs. 



Mr. F. C. D'mald. the seventh es-president on the list of speak- 

 ers, should have spoken upon "Man and h's Relation to Sporl.8." 

 but was absent. Mr. Tom Marshall, of Keithsbarg, spoke briefly 

 in hi" stead. 



"Shooting Cranks and Their Vagario" gave Mr. H. D. Nioholls, 

 president of the Fort Dearborn and Cumberland clubs, a text 

 for one of his customary happy speeches. He said it was the 

 crank in shooting matters wno had brought about progress. It 

 was a crank who drojoped the lO-bore for the 13, and a crank who 

 first began to drop black powder and to ubc the nitro-powders. 

 The era ilk was a boneflt. It was a crank which turned the world. 

 He was glad he was a crank himself, and he hailed the pure- 

 blooded crank as a benefit to humanity. He had never seen a 

 worse lot of vagaries than his frisnds, the cranks there present, 

 could get up upon occasions, but he found some method in their 

 madness. 



"The Fisherman" was replied to by the representative of For- 

 est and Stream, who said there were many kinds of fishermen, 

 some of which some people were whom. 



Mr. W. W. McParland, wbohad attempted to sneak off home 

 about 11 o'clock, was captured and told to sing a song, under 

 penalty of death on non-compl'ance. Mr. M<^Farland has really 

 a fine voice and his Irish song of the "Ballahooly Blue Riblwn 

 Army" was a good bit of work. This ditty recites that a com- 

 bination of whisk J, lemon and water is harmless and that 'They 

 call it limonade in Ballahooly." A rapturous encore met the 

 singer and he was forced to respond with the ballad of the 

 "Elegant Bold Mclntyres," who, so tradition hath it, did "Whale 

 ivery blaggyard McGuire." 



The chair acked Mr. George C. Bock, of Indianapolis, to speak 

 fnr "Our "Visitors" and this Mr, Beck did briefly. Mr. Riley and 

 Mr. Elliott, of Kansas City, when called on spoke heartily in 

 lavor of the World's Fair tournament. They pledged Kansas 

 City's cooperation in any step Ch'cago took. 



Mr. Low offered a formal motion advising the incoming presi- 

 dent of the Association to draft a tiieory of action in the matter 

 of the World's tournament. Mr. Kern said he thought the idea 

 of such a grand tournament would meet with a hearty and 

 prompt reception in Europe, where there were many shooters 

 who would like to come and try their fortune with us. 



Mr. Thomas Keller, better known as Tee Kay, from the mos- 

 quito-swept barrens of New Jersey, was ordered to his feet. He 

 f aid that New Y^rk had no organization like this and could well 

 look West for points. He had been forced to admit to his friend 

 Charlie Burton that Chicago had more lobsters, bigger lobsters 

 and better ores than they had in New York, and fx'esher ones, 

 too. He supposed they got them in the lake. 



Mr. Burton said he would speak, and made a mighty good 

 speech, but his arm was tired from pulling the corks out of sand- 

 wiches in the Gun Club tent. He nnd worked hard and had not 

 laid up a cent, as mentioned earlier. 



Mr. Tom Laflin, of Geneseo, one of the quietest but beat known 

 sportsn-en of the State, soeke briefly when called upon and 

 tbauked the chair for the flattering remarks which prefaced his 

 call. 



Mr. Paul North said Ohio was ready to help whenever anything 

 was done in the work for the World's tournament. 



Mr. Chas. Kenr was called on for a song and gave one. This 

 was a chef d'auure. It was ausoczcicJtnd. But Mr. Von Len- 

 gerke sang a Platt-deutsch song soon after which was out of 

 sight. 



Col. Felton nominated Mr. Chas. Kern as chairman for the next 

 meeting of the Possum Club. He was elected. Adjournment on 

 call was had at 13 o'clock, midnight. Tom Marshall's room at 

 the Palmer House h.nd bean used as a cloak room. When the boys 

 went in after their hats they found a card hanging on the gas fix- 

 ture which read: 



; DON'T BLOW OUT THE GAS. : 



Friday, Fifth Day, June XH. 



The weather remained lovely. Shooting went on steadily in the 

 big guarantee purse, open for all. which was barely finished he- 

 fore dark. It takes a day and a half to run ofl! a shoot here, the 

 entry is so large. The full entry in this event was 98, and four 

 men appeared after the books were closed and wanted to go in. In 

 yesterday's report I believe 1 said that at the ciose of yesterday's 

 shooting in this event only three men out of 35 had made 10 

 straight. It was really wor-e than that, for in fact there were 

 only two. RoUa Heikes and Ben Dicke This morning one man 

 after another continued to fall out of the 10 hole, umil at the close 

 of the entire shoo', 98 entries, only three straight men were left. 

 This is something wnich does not often happen, and is the more 

 singular waen one rememliers that such men as EUiott, Budd, 

 Riley, Lflflin, Eich, Thomas and others of the very best rank were 

 shooting and fell off. It could not be mere accident. The fact is, 

 the biros were too good for them. Wnen John Watson put in 

 these King traps he had misgivings, and grumbled that thn old 

 way was good enough; but he builded better than he knew. These 

 traps do far more tnan merely hasten on the shooting in a large 

 event. They settle a question long debated. No one can quite 

 approve the old plunge trap, single-barrel, bird-crippling stvle of 

 shooting, and yet with the old ground traps it was often 

 simply piokening to see a bird walk out and refuse to 

 fly, while flapping-rags, clods, stones and perchance an old 

 hat were all brought to bear upon it to induce a hop high enough 

 from the ground to allow the bird to be called technically on the 

 wing. That was not shoot'ng, and it wa.s not aport. and often it 

 was hard to get a run of birds even enough to prevent that all 

 the time. These traps may be said to have happily avoided all 

 the old difflctilty without exorcising the slightest additional 

 cruelty to tue bird. The puller simply presses down a levor in 

 the side of an upright box (I have said, I believe, that these 

 were the electric traps, but that is not the case here, I find, 

 though Ihe traps can be arranged to spring by electricity) and at 

 once the sides of the trap fall flat to the ground, and a big brass 

 ball rolls directly in toward the bird, startling it into flight. A 

 refusal to fly has been the exception. That the birds did fly- 

 well, look at the se.ores. Now, if we could only got rid of the men 

 who are too stingy to use a second barrel upon a bird down but 

 not instantly killed, or who are anxious to acquire a single-bar- 

 rel record, something which at ground traps m this modern day 

 of close scrutiny of pigeon shooting, no sportsman should be very 

 anxious to do, we should be much further along in the sport of 

 live bird shooting than could have been prophesied a few years 

 ago. 



Well, one by one the snowy goose eggs fell on the blackboard, 

 and one by one the chances for 10 straights grew less in the big 

 guarantee, much to the edification of Ben Dicks and Kolia Heikes. 

 Charlie Gammon had everybody tninking he would get his 10 all 

 right, but he was too blamed contrary to do anything he ih ught 

 anybody wanted him to do, so he missed his ninth bird just for 

 meanness, though he had been doing some shooting of as quick 

 and clean a sort as had ever been seen on the grounds. Matters 

 sifted down till the last squad appeared, Messrs. Al. Hofmann, 

 Geo T. Farmer, Geo. Peterson and Col. ITslton. Each of the first 

 two dropped abruptly, with a dull, listless sound, into the bosom 

 of theSfumlly, and the third fell clear out of the game. Onlv 

 Col. Felton remained, steady and imperturbable as ever, the last 

 man on the last squad, and Ben and RoUa shuddered as they re- 

 membered his everlasting propensity to shoot the better the hot- 

 ter the place he Is in. One after another of good birds he slashed 

 down, and as he spoke tn friends upon the benches his voice was 

 low and sweet. It came to his last bird. The Colonel twre no 

 smile upon his calm countenance. He waited till the trappers 

 were clear back from the traps, lifted his hat for the evening 

 breeze to kiss his brow once for luck, then trod smile less and mel- 

 ancholy to the score, knowing full well there was going to be an- 

 other figure funeral. A moment he leaned forward, his gun at 

 45-ieg. exactly, not more, not less, in front of him. Thus he sup- 

 ported it with h^a right hand, while with his left he twice more 

 lifted his hut to give the breeze a ebanee. Then he grasped the 

 gun with both hands, pushed the safety up exactly tbree times, 

 paused a moment, asked if the puller was in a state of prepara- 

 tion, and on being assured that such was the case, politely re- 

 quested him to relieve the bird, which at once he cut down with 

 his right, in less time, as the novelist would say, than it has taken 

 to write these words. And then a wild yell of delight arose, for 

 no one ia more popular than the Colonel, and he bad diffloulty In 

 eBcaplDS! from oongratulatiuBt han.de, to tW* to S«n Oioljg and 

 RoUr Helke* and s^y: Wa will dmde." 



There were $150 in the 9 tie, and 18 men longed in unison for that 

 same, while again the wind sighed softly through John Watson's 

 new wire boundary and waftea homeward numerous birds vrhich 



gRftsed with oud derisive whistlings in their wings. Mei-ers. Budd, 

 eck and Powers managed to get ti birds each in the ties. With 

 pale faces and trf mbling voices they turned, fell on each other's 

 necks and murmured "Divide." 



Your Uncle A^-ner Price, Billy^ Mnssey, C. M.Price. Br'er Gawere 

 Kleinman, Kicking Horse Charlie Srrawn and W. W. McFarlaud. 

 the Nightingale of Austin, were scared to shoot at more than 6 

 birds. They said, go to, we will divide; and each allowed $16.6665 

 to fall into his clothing. 



The ties on 7 were exciting also. Jim Elliott. Tom Laflin, Geo. 

 T. Farmer, O. H. Porter and S. A. Tucker all climbed up to 6 

 straight. T'hen Jim Elliott got shot out harshly and abruptly, and 

 Georee Farmer al«o retired. Laflin, Porter and Tucker then 

 agreed to draw out .810 apiece and go on. Laflin then at on<-e 

 missed his next bird. Porter cnt down two seemingly impossible 

 birds at long distance, and Tucker's 10-eauge and black powder 

 got away with a similar number, whereupon these two sailed in a 

 friendly way and whispered "Divide." And they divode. So closed 

 a very interesting shoot, one of the largest and most remarkable, 

 live-bird sweeps of late days. The sc-ire: 



F^fth contest at 10 live birds; 5 ground traps: entrance $10. birds

 aneles or more properly speaking, at unknown traps, had been 

 going on, was this morning discontinued and the shooting 

 went on at 5 known traps and aneles. It bet ame all the more

 in it. Tee Kay shot some. Tee Kay bousht a 'icket to Lyons, N. 

 Y., yesterday, and checked his trunk there. The New York State 

 shoot was at Lyons last year, and though most people will go to

 because it was there last year. He started yesterday, but got off 

 at Burnside, concluding that he couldn'tget away from this shoot
