CHICAGO TRAPS. 



Cbicago, 111., Jan. 1(5.— There has been a vast simmering down 

 in the trap-shooting talk, here within the last ten days, or at 

 least a simmering down whose net result of performance com- 

 pares very badly with the original volume of promise. The 

 gathering of the clans so confidently anticipated and announced 

 has not taken place to any alarming extent. The proposed week 

 of match shooliug has elapsed, and not one match, one solitary, 

 single, lonesome little match with an outsider has taken place. 



The fault for this does not lie altogether with Chicago, although 

 it is true Chicago ia not as anxious to-day to challenge all tde 

 universe as she was a couple, of weeks ago. Then was the time 

 for the Eastern cracks to take at the flood that, flood which ought 

 have led them on to substantial and actual glory — if they could 

 shoot good enough. Now it is too late. It is, therefore, now the 

 right time by all championship canons, for the Eastern men to 

 begin sending in their challenges. 



Mr. Pulford announces that he has retired from the shooting 

 world. Oh! no he hasu't. He is just following the old customs of 

 the champion class. They often retire. It is like the farewell 

 habit with the prima donna. 



Mr. Brewer, it i« announced, has started West. Fouest And 

 Stream of last Thursday says he has started West. We have 

 received here a letter, bearing in the corner the card of Elijah D. 

 Fuiford, addressed to Capt. J. L. Brewer, in care of Capt. A. C. 

 Anson. 



There has been daily expectation of seeing Capt. Brewer stalk 

 solemnly into Chicago, with an Olympian frown upon his brow, 

 and cast a hundred weight of paltry gold upon thefloor of Mus- 

 sey's hall. He hasn't cast her yet. aud he hasn't stalked. I think 

 he is walking from New York. If he will remember the expedi- 

 ent of the tramp in the "Hole in the Ground," he can telegraph 

 his name and address without any charge under the telegraph 

 rules. Or maybe Elijah, who stands in with the telegraph people, 

 will help him out. At any rate, something ought to be done. 

 There has been h. mysterious disappearance in high life. Capt. 

 John L. Brewer is lost somewhere between New York and Chi- 

 cago. 



It is in this mysterious disappearance that there lies the cause 

 of the ignominious fiasco of the great shooting week in Chicago. 

 As I have stated before, Geo. Kleinman, the man whom it was 

 proposed to back here, has been experimenting with four or five 

 different makes aud sorts of guns, and has not yet got one which 

 fits him so that he can shoot in his old form. In spite of this, an 

 effort would probably have been made to arrange a match be- 

 tween him and Brewer, had the latter appeared here, although it 

 was decided within the past ten days not to issue any challenge 

 uutil George got settled into shooting trim. 



Had Brewer or Fuiford, or both of them, appeared here, there 

 would have beeu a more general assembling of the Western shoot- 

 ers. They would have come on receipt of wire. But there has 

 been nothing to wire them. Consequently, in the general inde- 

 cision, everything has fallen througn. 



As was announced last week, McMurchy, Budd, North, and a 

 few others arrived in good faith, expecting to see some good 

 shooting, and perhaps to do some shooting. Charlie Budd waited 

 a match in a quiet sort of way, but did not want, to crowd any 

 one here on that point, for he has been repeatedly advised that 

 he is the one man whom Chicago doesn't want to shoot. Charlie 

 is a sort of favorite here, and nobody wants his money or wants 

 to lose to him, which latter might be a very probable event. 



When Mr. Budd appeared here there was an expression of 

 relief on the part of the Chicago boys. They would not shoot 

 him, but they could aud would back him to shoot. If Brewer 

 had appeared here he could have had a match with Charlie 

 easily, if he wanted it. There were just three men, or perhaps 

 tour, including Fuiford, against whom Chicago would have 

 backed Bu id this week, and it did seem probable that some or all 

 of the races would be shot. These men were Jack Brewer, Jim 

 Elliott and Jack Winston, and Fuiford, if he appeared. 



None of these appeared. Brewer got lost. Fuiford "retired." 

 Elliott wrote from Excelsior Springs, Mo., Jan. 12, and said he 

 was sick with the grip, and would not come tiil he got well, and 

 until he was sure Chicago meant, shoot. Winston's backer was 

 on Jan. 12 reported also sick with the grip, and this slopped 

 another man. Meantime, Tom Marshall, of Keithsburg, also is 

 flown with the grip. Frank Patmalee. of Omaha, was expected 

 h a re next Monday, but he is by this time doubtless advised that 

 all dates are off, and will so remain at home. 



Under the circumstances thei e seemed nothing to do but have 

 a little scrub sweepstakes or two out at the park, and to-day a 

 few of the shooters met for that purpose. There were present 

 Messrs. Paul North, of the Cleveland Target, Co ; H. McMurehv, 

 of the Hunter Arms Co.; C. W. Budd, of Des Moines, Iowa; B. 

 Haywood, of the Haywood Arms Co., Denver, Colo.; R. E. Frank- 

 lin, of Crtcent City, 111.; and from Chicago Messrs. K. B. Organ, 

 R. O. Heikes. C. Antoine, I. W. Dukes, A. J. Atwater, A. E. 

 Thomas, E. Price, J. E. Price, John Kleinman, G. Lauterbacb, 

 Jas. Porter, E. M. Gardner, E. M. Steek, F. A. Place, C. B. Dicks, 

 B. Waters, D. F. Pryde and H. P. Pope, with others. With this 

 attendance a very pleasant lit tie shoot was had, in spite of the 

 peculiarly raw air and the sharp wind which blew from right to 

 left across the traps. 



The birds were not exceptionally hard to-day. John Watson 

 did not know until late yesterday that there was to be shooting 

 to-day, aud so fed the birds heavily, contrary to the custom on the 

 day before trapping. Some of the birds were fast. The wind 

 helped all of them that started well. 



Mr. A. J. Atwater rather carried off the honors of the day, as 

 the scores will show. In spite of the accident to his gun the other 

 day, mentioned elsewhere, and in spite of the fact that he has 

 shot three or four different guns since then, Mr. Atwater has 

 scored 96 of the last 98 birds he has shot at in sweeps. He will do 

 to keep an eye on. 



The change, of guns seems to work the other way with Andy 

 Thomas. Andy has just purchased a new gun. I do not remem- 

 ber ever to have seen a more evenly distributed pattern than, its 

 right barrel shows, though the left is not so regular; yet notwith- 

 standing the undoubted quality of the arm, be can't shoot, it vet. 

 Actual success with a gun is a hard thing to formulate. Unques- 

 tionably certain guns have quality which cannot be described or 

 duplicated. Lock and stock certainly are, as important as the 

 barrel in this question, and the barrel quality is something not 

 represented by the number of shot holes in a piece of paper. 

 When a man has discovered his affinity in a gun, he would better 

 stick to it. They say some guns "shoot out." Col. Felton assures 

 me that no good guns ever shoot out. But all guns are not good 



eU The following are the scores of the day:

Paul North first, 0 W Budd second, 



Mr. McMurchy left on an early train, to start East this evening. 

 He has been away from the factory a little over a week, and has 

 visited only two point*, St. Louis and Chicago As proof of the 

 hold which American guns have on the shooting public, I may- 

 state that within seven days after leaving Fulton Mr. McMurchy 

 sold, in those two cities, guns to the amount of $63 000. Thi3 

 statement was not made for publication, yet I believe the above 

 figures break the record for one week's work by one man in the 

 gun trade. 



Mr. North will remain here till Monday, completing trade ar- 

 rangements for the biuerock. There may be a little shooting on 

 Monday, though that is doubtful. 



Mr. Budd left t.o-nk'ht for his home in Des Moines, concluding 

 that the chances for a match here were, not good at present. 

 Charlie will continue to shoot an L. C. Smith pun, American 

 wood powder, aud the Chamberiiu Cartridge Co.'s load of that 

 powder. 



Mr. Budd gave me, just before he took his train, a bit of shoot- 

 ing news which I imagine will be pretty near exclusive for this 

 paper. He told me that, in February he was going East to shoot a 

 race with Jick Brewer, if the latter could he induced to shoot. 

 "I will take just exactly $250 with me to put up," said Charlie, 

 "and I won't shoot for any more. That's a plenty, and this talk 

 about $5,000 a side is nonsense. I've beaten Jack once, the only 

 time I ever shot him, and I think I can beat him again." 



Chicago would be very much pleased to see this match shot 

 here. Can it not be arranged in some mannet? E. Hough. 



The Newark Gun Club. 



Thursday, Jan. 14. was anything but a nice day for traveling 

 or tr'ip-shootiug. Wet and mushy underfoot, with banks of 

 heavy clouds fleeting to and fro overhead.it was not politic to 

 venture out of doors without a rubber outfit and umbrella. Still 

 the members of the Newark Gun Club would not allow any little 

 trifle such aa bad weather to deter them from enjoying their 

 monthly outing at John Erb's Old Stone House grounds, although 

 in this instance it, did cause a material decrease in the attend- 

 ance. It was about 1:30 P.M. when Mr. DuBray, the well-known 

 Southern States representative of the Parker Gun Company. 

 Samuel Castle, the old Newark veteran, M. F. Lindsley. m 

 American wood powder glory. Ed. Collins, W. Fred Quimby's 

 expert loader, and Hie Forest and Stream representative 

 jumped off a Bloom field car and waderf through the mud to the 

 opsu door of "the Old Stone House." Immediately after the 

 party meandered down the path to the shooting home, and pre- 

 pared for the business of the day, Everything was dank and 

 nasty about the Held, the combination formed r f rain and melted 

 snow having formed pools here and there that caused one to 

 imagine himself in almost anything but a winter clime. 



The first thiug in order, of course, was a "Jersey" sweep, with 

 the usual conditions of 4 birds each, $3 entrv, 2 moneys. The 

 score follows: 



Collins 1312-4 DuBray 323.3-4 



Liudsley 1222-4 Castle 1111-4 



It will be seen how great, must have been Mr. Castle's tempta- 

 tion as he stepped to the score for his last shot, as all he had to do 

 was to "accbkntly" shoot, too quick or too slow and get second 

 mouey alone. But Mr. Castle, I am proud to say. proved _ himself 

 a worthy member of this worthy club by grassing bis bird. All 

 that could he done was for each man to fork over an extra dollar 

 which, added to his share, of mouey from the above event, entered 

 him for the next. By this time the party had been auemsinted by 

 the arrival of another old vet., in the person of C. M. Hedden, 

 and a little later came the genial military trap-slnoter Major R. 

 Heber Breintnall. The. scores of event No. 3 were, as below: 



Collins 2211—4 DuBray 1011-3 



Lindsley 212.2-4 Castle , 0111-3 



Hedcleu - . 2121—4 Breintnall 311o— 3 



In this event both moneys were divided, or. more properly speak- 

 ing the contestants again made up the difference between their 

 winnings from No. 2 and the entrance to No. 3. There was now 

 another accession to the ranks, as Harry Smith, Gas. Freche's 

 dreaded oupouent, camfe on the scene, and was full of shoot as 

 usual. This set-to resulted as below. 



Lindsley 2121-4 Smith 1121-4 



DuBray U1S-4 Collins 2011-3 



Hedden Hll-4 Castle 1201-3 



Breiutuall . . 



A ""am was it the old story ot "eon tnhutmg" enough to enter 

 another sweep. Up to the second sweep the Parker gun mau had 

 not been shooting in brilliant form with his first barrel, his gun 

 being altogether too crooked. His second, however was able to 

 stop almost auythiug. After a few rounds, however, he got him- 

 self in form and made some, neat kills. 



Event No. 4, same conditions as before, resulted as below: 



Linaslev 1122-4 Breintnall 2122-4 



DuBray 2111-4 Smith H01-3 



Castle. Dll— 4 L-Jdv 0G3-E 

 Hedden 1111-4 Collins 0110-2 



Hu^-h Leddv, of Montclair, came in just in time to try his hand 

 in t.hfs event," arrl after the first miss got, mad and killed straight. 

 First and second moneys were div., while Eddy Collins got— left 

 in the cold alone. . . . 



Now came the regular monthly club shoot, at ten live birds per 

 man, modified Hurlingham rules to govern, $5 entry, there being 

 eleven entries and three moneys. John Erb and Gus. Ereche had 

 reached the seat of war in the interim and were ready for the 

 fun During the progress of the above mentioned sweeps the 

 bird's had been, as a whole, a miserable, lot of "duffers," there be- 

 ing a good one occasionally, but as a lot they were poor. The 

 weather, of course, was dead against good flying, but as Mr. Erb 

 said the lot in question -never knew how to go." The scores of 



F Collins' 1212211111-10 Gus Griff en 1011110112-8

H Smith . . 1111213120- 9 



The moneys were divided. Castle's fourth and Leddy's fifth 

 birds fell dead wilhin a foot of the fence. The birds for this 

 event were handled by John Erb and were of far he titer quality 

 than those used in the first few sweeps. The next event was a 

 miss and out, $1 entry. This resulted as follows: 



T-indslev 1186 Du Bray 14

Castle 11222120 



This was a hard fought battle in a fast fading light, in fact 

 after the second round it was so dark that one could scarcely see 

 a bird thirty yards away. Eddy Collins proved, however, that 

 his eyesight was as good as of old, the most of his birds being 

 grassed close to tie traps. 



A Big Shoot at Woodlawn. 



When any one club can turn out twentv-ttve members at a reg- 

 ular club shoot it has no reason to blame its members for lack of 

 enthusiasm. The Coney Island Rod and Gun Club, at its monthly 

 club shoot on Wednesday at. Woodlawn Park, Long Island, had 

 the above number present, and not only did every mau shoot, but 

 they shot in great form, as is evidenced by the fact that ten men 

 killed their 7 straight, while six others lost but, one bird each. 

 The contest was the regular monthly one for the club medal. The 

 day was somewhat cloudy and the birds fair to good. Hugh Mc- 

 Laughlin officiated as referee and J. C, De Frame was official 

 scorer. The scores follow, the tie for the medal being shot off 

 miss and out and won by J. A. Eppig:

The South Side's Weekly. 



Down on ihe edge of the Newark meadows helovv Emmett 

 street station, on the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, where 

 the members of the South Side Gun Club hold forth every Satur- 

 day afternoon, the weather conditions are not always favorable 

 for fine shooting, t he wind having a clear space from the grounds 

 to the borders of Newark Bay. Last Saturday was cold, and the 

 good Boreas was not in a pleasant mood, although he felt in a, 

 frolicsome one, and pla ved havoc with the biuerock targets, the 

 f cores at limes also suffering from his antics. The attendance 

 was good as it usually is, and all hands were anxious to shoot 

 and "willing to risk having low totals- All the events on the 

 regular programme were at 10 bluerocks per man, $1 entry', eight 

 entries or under, three moneys; over eight entries, four moneys. 

 The events are appended, all ties being divided:
