Chicago, 111., Jjn. 1.— Tne pMt week m.s 

 the t i- p shooters, thougn quiet in all other 



shonin,* is quite the mge here now, as the scores from Buiiisi&B 

 Will show. The man who has not a half doz n matches on, to be 

 shor uexr. month, or nest week, or right away before dinner, 's a 

 lowly light m the galaxy of shooting stars at this writing. The 



would go to support, the 'belief that all Chicago is carrying a 

 large-sized chip on her shoulder and laying for some one to knock 

 it oft. it is a common word here now that nobody can, or not 

 anybody can, or not nobody can't, come here now and get away 

 without shooting a match. Last Tnosdav Husky George Holden 

 tarat Col. J. W. Sheahan, J. A. Ruble beat R. Rock, 'tad thai, sub- 

 stantial youth B. Dicks once more defeated ./. L. Wilcox, as s^e 

 Beojrfia. Three or four races a day isn't bad. and you are liable to 

 hnd that almost any day these days. This is one of the cycles 

 VUeij Spots appear on the sun and the moon is overcast with an 

 ensanguined hue. Such times come every once In a while, times 

 when every one is brave and wants to wade in trouble. 



I here is trouble of good size brewing for the future, unless all 

 plans go wrong The talk of a Chicago challenge to Fulford and 

 Brewer has now progressed to such point that it is practically a 

 certainty that the challenge will he issued, and issued soon. 

 ( bicfigo has not at present two men to place against a Fuiford 

 and Brewer team, but proposes to back G-torge Kloinmau against 

 those two men separately. The challenge will be for $500 for each 

 match. If the Eastern men can win both of these races they will 

 have enough for an oyster supper, anyhow, a- d the way they 

 figure, they ought to win them both easily. 1 understand Brewer 

 doi s not tnink much of George as a pigeon shooter. Yesterday I 

 heard of one Chicago man who offered his check for $1,000 to back 

 fjsorge in these t wo races. This will not he needed to secure the 

 challenge money, but I do not doubt that this and other money, 

 to a. good figure, will be offe ed on a silver plate to the Eastern 

 autocrats as a side inducement. Chicago is nothing if not sensble 

 and practical. To Chicago a ladder has holes in it. It is no partic- 

 ular use for Messrs. Fuiford and Brewer to sprirg the old, old 

 hoary fake about shooting for "championships" and $10,000 a Mde! 

 A new fake is needed to catch this settlement, and the $10,000 

 racket, is not new. We've even had it oat here. But if either Fui- 

 ford or Brewer, or both of them, want to shoot a race for more 

 actual cash than either or both of them had up in their last race, 

 or enherof their other races, tbey can get that sort of a race out 

 here now, and Chicago won't be backing a "champion" either. 

 George Klein man isn't any champion. He is just a tall, slim, sick- 

 sort o( a follow, with consumption and Bright's disease and an 

 $H gun. He isn't a champion, but he has moved among the 

 champion class of society a good deal, and it is Ctr.cago's hope and 

 heliet that he will he among Fuiford at d Brewer toward the close 

 of the shooting match. Ii'sa pretty tough place out here. All 

 our trap shooters wear red shirts and six-shooters, and if either' 

 man from the East got a lead of a bird or so he would need to be 

 caretul that some one didn't hamstring him or deprive him of an 

 eye. Still, there will be a detail of police, and a sort of bluff will 

 be made at decent conduct, so the Easlern men may cauot them- 

 selves reasonably safe iu coming out to garner in the savings of 

 some of these Chicago folks. If they come out of the races alive, 

 there will be a sort of attempt made to treat them right. 



The only question in the minds of the Chicago men who are 

 trying to arrange these matches with the Easlern shooters is one 

 of the relative quality of the. Eastern and Western birds. No 

 shooters on earth can score 98 or 99 birds to the 100 on hard birds 

 In the last Fuiford— Brewer race the birds wera hard, but the 

 scores, m proportion, lost all phase of being phenomenal. Mr. 

 C. E. Willard, of this city, who is familiar with our birds here, 

 witni ssed the last Fuiford— Brewer match. He says the birds 

 were very hard, as good as he ever saw. The top score of that 

 race is not out of the reach of George Kleinman's gait on our 

 birds here. The comparison of the birds is what should be con- 

 sidered in framing odds or opinions in regard to the match now 

 sough t_to be arranged. We all sincerely hope to see the match 

 shot, (should Messrs. Fuiford and Brewer decline it it will be a 

 mistake mil t rating against the popularity of either, or both of 

 them, for public opinion is only too ready to find flaws in the con- 

 duct and the motives of prominent men. 



It is the more especially to be hopad that these two celebrated 

 shooters will come West in view of the importance which the 

 time of their stay here would assume. It would he made ihe 

 greatest week in the history of Chicago traps. Icis now certain 

 i bat all the prominent shooters of the West so far as the Mis- 

 souri River would be here, and there would be a season of heavy 

 sweeps and probably matches, such as was never seen here and 

 perhaps not elsewhere. It can not be denied that Chicago is 

 practically the West, If the Eastern magnates wish to shoot for 

 W estern money the. time for such arrangements will be just this 

 shooting week above suggested, for all of the match shooters of 

 the West will be here— Parmalee, Budd, Elliott, Winston and 

 plenty more. Fuiford and Brewer wish to sheot for heavy stakes 

 1 do not think they can get a $5,000 stake here, but during the 

 week they probably would be able to shoot for $2,500, without in- 

 cluding side bets. This ought to tempt them a little. We all 

 hope t hey will come. 



Mr. R. B. Organ, just, back from Omaha, says that he met Frank 

 Parmalee there and that that amiable genius expresses a keen 

 desire to be in Chicago about Jan. 15, hoping then to meet sundry 

 and divers shooters who are of the opinion that they can beat a 

 left-handed, stammering man. 



I suppose everybody has heard of Frank Parmalee's historic 

 wooden bluerock r»c6. I shall not need ti mention names, for 

 there is a lawsuit about it, and some of the parties are touchy. 

 \ ears ago, this happened, and it happened this way: Frank had 

 a race, $503 a side, 100 bluerock targets, and to make a complete 

 cinch of it he got a lot of wooden bluerocks made, turned and 

 pftitp tea in exact imitation of the genuine article. These he fed 

 i o his opponents' traps, and the result may be imagined. Unfor- 

 i unately Frank was too nervous and put in too many of the arti- 

 ficial artificials. The gatherers in the field found some, of the 

 woOden birds. Again the result may he imagined. The opponent 

 ft joined the stakeholder not to pay over the stakes, and the thing 

 wt nr into the courts and has, been going ever since, though Frank 

 lias a childlike confidence that his innocent joke will not be taken 

 r miss by the law. 



By the way, while I am on this, I might add another apoendent 

 s'ory to the above. Not long ago the same stakeholder (who de- 

 i lares he has spent all that money long ago and never will payit 

 to anybody,) was 'n at. Frank's gun store. The, latter sought to 

 sell him a gnn, a $125 Greener. 



•I haven't got any use for a gun," said the stakeholder man, 

 "for I've got, plenty now, and besides, I couldn't afford to buy it, 

 hot I would put up $125 against it and shake i he dice with you for 



'1 g-g-got, you!" said Frank, as quick as he could. 



Ttiey shook, and Frank lost. The stakeholder man took up his 

 new gun and walked whistling out, of ihe door. On the walk he 

 met a policeman, 



"Here's a gun for you, officer," said he. 



"Pfwhat!" said the officer. 



"A gun. Take it. I don't want it. 1 want, to give it to you." 

 After hard work he managed to coax the officer into accepting 

 t he gun as a gift. 



' Now, you need some shells," continued he. "You just step in- 

 side. You'll find a man crying behind the counter, and vou tell 

 him you waut to shake the dice with him for the price of twenty- 

 live shells." 



Frank wouldn't shake anymore, but had the mournful satis- 

 l action of selling a box of shells for the $125 gun he didn't. Fell. 

 The vicissitudes of t he gun trade are. peculiar. 



Garfield Club Shoot. 



The weather to-day has been peculiarly abominable and un- 

 sifted for New Year's Day festivities, rain, mud and slop being 

 everywhere upon the face of nature. This doubtless prevented 

 ntauy pleasant shoot wlodi wonlfl otherwise have come 



off. At Watson's Park, Burnside, sweeps were announced for all 

 'lay. Outside of this doubtless the most considerable meet for the 

 day was that of the Garfield Gun Olub, on i he West Side, where 

 sweepstakes shooting began at 11 o'clock and lasted until dark a 

 very good attendance of club mem be: b and guests being on hand. 



Ordinarily Garfield grounds are verv pleasant, being situated in 

 the middle of a breezy prairie, which the advancing of the build- 

 iiig lines has left untouched. To-day, however, the. rain had 

 turned this prairie in t.o a bottomless sea of mud, unspanned bv 

 nay sidewalk, and approach to the grounds from the car liue had 

 10 be made at. the expense of a regular wade of over 300yds. 

 t hrough the muck. As one progressed on this dangerous journey 

 he was in further danger of being shot by some of the innumer- 

 able guerriias who formed an irregular bolv close up to the honn- 

 dary line, there being no fence upon the grounds. At the in- 

 stance of the club members, a local policeman finally succeeded 

 in clearing away these gentry. The skies, however, could not be 

 cleared, and the space immediately about the cosy shooting box 

 remained, very muddy and grew worBe indeed as the day went on. 



I bis did not prevent I he jovial crowd from having a pleasant 

 time, and nobody found lautl with the inevitable. I understand 

 it is the plan of this able and prosperous r ub to fill in its house 

 grounds with cinders and lay walks. This would make the place 

 very convenient and pleasant. 



To-day there was a strong wind blowing from right to left across 

 the traps, and although the birds started badly, the stronger ones 

 grew very hard th^ instant they caught this wind and swept by 

 like a flash. As almost any shooter was liable to fall heir to one 

 or two of these fast twisters, the scores ranged very low, only one 

 straight in three 10-bird sweeps being made, that by Rolla Heikes, 

 who shot very finely throughout. Toward night the rain troubled 

 the birds and they flew poorly. In the anxiety to finish the last 

 sweep the shooting was continued until it wa« impossible to see 

 any but a white bird go from the trap, and this being guesswork 

 the sweep was concludrd in the 9 frame. 



The boundary u;ed was the 80yds. Illinois State, but mostof the 

 shooters seemed to think the rules were the Association rules, for 

 the gun was held agninsr, the shoulder all the time. This received 

 no caution under the happy frame of mind befitting the day, and 

 everthing proceeded as each saw fit. Indeed, toward night this 

 proceeded mrther than should he allowed on any grounds under 

 any circumstances, if the gentlemen will pardon th* well-meant 

 criticism. Shooting at stray pigeons was constant at and about 

 the score and clubhouse. One shooter came within the nearest of 

 killing one of the boy trappers by a shot too close to the line of 

 the score. In the dusk as many as three loaded guns were seen at 

 the same time at the score waiting for a shot at a pigeon which 

 had been freed by mistake. After the rain commenced it was 

 common to see a shooter turn from the score and run htck into 

 the house with a loaded shell still in his closed gun. This was 

 done more especially by two or three of the more careless. These 

 things are finable under the rules and should not be tolerated for 

 an instant, as they make possible an accident for which all the 

 regret of the club could not atone. There should he swift reform 

 in this, and also in the custom of leaving wounded hirds tin- 

 gathered. This latter gives an appearance of inhumanity to the 

 sport which was never intended under the rules. I do not think 

 that many days, however, could be so trying as tc-day to the 

 management, for the weather threw everything into confusion. 

 Certainly I should say the ahove only as a suggest ion 1o those by 

 Whom the facts may not have been noticed in the general crush 

 and hurrah. The following are the scores of the day:

The Coming Year. 



From the grounds of belief obtainable it would appear that the 

 year of 1892 is to be one of importance in trap shooting at this 

 city, doubtless the busiest and most important ever yet known. 

 There comes on apace also the year 1893. mat of the World's Fair, 

 and for this some forethought should be had. The greatness of 

 that year in every feature of activity is not easily measured, but. 

 it ought to be forecast so much as possible. Tne world does not 

 yet fully know how gteat the plans and the accomplishments are 

 in the essential preparations for ihat event. Even Chicago hears 

 little from the city of record and of enterprise which is silently 

 but swiftlv springing into being upon her southern confines. The 

 years of 1893 and 1893 will be colossal for America and for Chi- 

 cago. Are the sportsmen to be behind in the work of preparation 

 for that time? There has been talk, duly recorded in these col- 

 umns, of a great international tournament to be held in Chicago 

 in 1893. International tournaments do not hold themselves. Be- 

 tween every large idea and its large consummation there are 

 many steps of detail. It is nearly time some of these steps should 

 be taken for the World's Fair tournament. Talk will not bring 

 it. Talk will aid in formulating plans for it, and so there should 

 be talk in the sporting press about, this and for this. The country 

 should not, think the World's Fair a Chicago enterprise, for Chi- 

 cago is only the theatre for the American enterprise. From New 

 York and from all sister cities Chicago needs help and ad vice 

 for the conduct of such an undertaking for ihe benefit of sport at 

 the trap as this international tournament must be. Something 

 of the sort, at least, should be prepared to make the year mem- 

 orable here in sport as in everything else. 1 893 should prepare 

 for 1893. 



I shall take the privilege, for the many friends of Forest and 

 Stream in Chicago, of wishing every shooter in the world a very 

 happy new year. But no shooter without the improved Forest 

 and Stream can be happy now. E. Hough.

Words of Appreciation. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I did not receive a copy of your paper containing report of the 

 Fulford-Rrewer match until this week. I will now say that vour 

 report is the best, not only of this shoot, but it is the best I "ever 

 saw of any shoot. Toe cuts of the shooters are simply perfect,

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



From all quarters are received letters commendatory of the 

 active inte, rs} ft taken cv t or est Asm (stream in matters pertain* 

 mg to trap shooting. All of this tickles the palate cf the editor 

 and prompts him to put forth an extra effort each week to try and 

 improve the column, if improvement can be made in what is now 

 the most complete record of the sport published. Yes, we are on 

 top and there we intend to stay, blow hish or blow low. Our con- 

 temporaries, m everyday slang, '"are not in it." Our reports are 

 the most complete of any punished, and our pictures are perfect: 

 so what more need be said? During the coming season Forest 

 and Stream will have a special correspondent at all the tourna- 

 ments, and has arranged to receive detailed scores of all club 

 shoots, wherever held; so that in the future, as in the past, its 

 xeaaers can say./ If it is not recorded in Forest and Stream, 'it 

 never happened!'" '

Cleveland Gun Club, 



Cleveland, O., Jan. 1— Ttie county badge has been shot for a 

 number ot years. Now and then one of the crack shots of Cleve- 

 land has won ic twice in succession, but the third effort has 

 proved too much for the nerves of the successful oues when it 

 came lo a final attempt. Mr. Sheldon has won it twice in succes- 

 sion and so has Mr. North; hut, woe be to them, they will never 

 have that chance again, for it has gone where it will be a fit cen- 

 ter piece tor other trophies that have gone with it in the home of 

 u VP™- It J wa8 . » uoor day, httf, Mr. Upson was in good 

 shooting trim, and with the final round the crowd broke into

house and judge requested him to announce the result. "Mr 

 Upson has shot. 46 targets out of 50." said he, "and that leads all 

 the contestants. The nearest man to him is Mr. North who has 

 shot. 43. Then the judge, taking the badge, presented it to Mr. 

 Upson, stating that by the rules and agreement under which it 

 was competed tor he had won it fairly, and it was now his personal 

 property. He was entitled to its possession as the champion shot 

 of Cuyahoga county. He had been led a great race hy some of 

 the best shots, not ouly in northern Ohio, bu- in the entire State 

 During all the shoots for the couuty badge in which he has par- 

 ticipated he has had the best averaee of any one who has been in 

 the contest. 



The contests for the county hadge in the past twelve years 

 have been interesting and exciting, and a great d^al of sport has 

 been gained from them by the local trap shooters. Now nothing 

 is left to contest for hut the Sipe & Sigler cup, and doubtless the 

 interest m shooting for that will increase under the favorable 

 conditions which have been announced for the coming year It 

 is a magnificent trophy, and whoever earns it mav well feel proud 

 If it should be some other gentleman than Mr. Upson, a contest 

 between the two would be an exceedingly entertaining event for 

 the future. The final score of the shoot is as follows-

Under Long Island Rules. 



The little village of Verona, N. J„ just above Montclair, has. 

 quite an active organization known as Ihe Verona Sporting Club 

 the members of which follow up trap and field shooting, fishing 

 or- whatever other' sport their fancy d 'fates. On New Years Day 

 they decided that a little practice at live birds would relieve the 

 monotony, and nine of the mcuibei s. went U> the dub groun.l 

 about noon to carry out the fun.' Th» contest, was an interesting 

 one from the fact that the shoot was governed by old Lone Island 

 rules, single barrel, gun below the elbow until bird is on the wing- 

 Each man shot at t weutv birds, all of which were good flyers The 

 scores follow. Boxall 21vds., rest at 21:
