CHICAGO TRAPS. 



Chicago, 111 , March 24, —There has come to light a rather tad 

 piece of news this week. Roll Organ has gone into politics and its 

 running for Alderman in "der Virty-fort ward, see'/" Last night 

 Mr. Organ incidentally remarked that he intended to go to 

 Europe this fall, from which it would appear th^t he is aware of 

 the. gravity of the aldermanic situation here. The election is not 

 yet. If Mr. Organ wins, it wjll he. Mr. R. B. Ot'Sran runring; if he 

 is defeated, it will be Mr. R. B. Wadswovth. He will have a shot- 

 gun ballot. 



Mr. A. M. Hof mann. who b&\ been laid up for a week or more, 

 is still unable to he about, and a couple of interesting races he had 

 scheduled for this week are off. 



There was a faint sort of $5,000 ripple passed across here this 

 week in the form of a good, old-fashioned |5,000 a side challenge 

 from Jack Brewer to Charlie Bndd. Nobody gasped a great deal, 

 all being used to these things. Yesterday a telegram was received 

 from Mr. Budd which said: "Will shoot no more matches for 60 

 days." A greifc deal can be said in 60 days by patient effort. 



The following card has been received from Jack Winston, the 

 "N. O. Meade" who so signally defeated George Kleinman here: 



Covington, Ry., M«ch 19.— What a world of fun you all have 

 been baving. AndlmiRsed it all. 1 .congratulate you and the 

 boys of ''Chicago and the West." I have always said that 85 of 

 your best was pretty fair. Why, oh! why, did you not add the 

 Cap's (?) scalp? A lost opportunity. Is that safe door so pas? on 

 trigger at all tiuif S? Methinks I remember it as having a 5(000)10. 

 pull. My kindest to ali. Yours sincerely, Jack. 



Last week, I believe, 1 mentioned thai Mr. Fulford had goue 

 East. His start was delayed, and 1 hear now that he goes to- 

 morrow, Friday. Within the week Mr. Fulford is to be married, 

 at Utica, N. Y. 



Da v before yesterday Mr. Fulford shot at 50 practice birds, scor- 

 ing 37. Yesterday he shot at 50, and scored 15. He has changed 

 t he cast-off in his gun stock, and thinks he will recover some of 

 his former speed. In form, he says he can kill 05 of the hardest of 

 the pigeons herp. He did not think, to the extent of $100. that he 

 could pick 100 of the easiest birds out of a lot of 506 at Watson's 

 Park, to-day, and kill 00 of them. 



Last week, in the. course of a general talk. Mr. J. L. Wilcox and 

 a Mr. Watson were speaking of Mr. Fulford's shooting, and a 

 match was arranged by which Mr. AVilcox backed Mr. W. P. Mus- 

 sey to beat Mr. Fulford, at 100 birds, S135 a side, Friday next. 

 Articles were drawn by which should either shooter fail to appear, 

 the whole amount of the wager was to be forfeited, this in view 

 of recent numerous matches which had not materialized. Mr. 

 Fulford agreed to shoot the match, but on Tuesday handed Mr. 

 Mussey a written statement declining to shoot, "for several 

 reasons." The reasons he did not state. Mr. Mussey had ordered 

 • the birds at the park, and had called off his races with Mr. Hof- 

 mann, which might otherwise have been postpoued. Mr. Fulford 

 yesterday declined to shoot a match with Boll Organ, and, as 

 stated earlier, has forfeited to Bolla Heikes. He tells me that no 

 match was concluded between him and George Kleinman, though 

 George challenged him to shoot. Mr. Fulford has, however, chal- 

 lenged Jim Elliott for his cup. and this match will probably be 

 shot at Kansas City about the middle of April, 



Dick Turtle challenged Mr. Fulford also, for a race at 50 hens, 

 not pigeons, but hens, plain cooking hens right off South Water 

 street. These hens were to be plactd on a storebox, not an auto- 

 matic King storebox. just a plain piue storebox, at 50yds. Using 

 any gun or load he liked, Mr. Fulford was to fire at. these, paying 

 a dollar for each he missed killing, and receivinga dollar tor each 

 he killed. The match was not concluded. This is a trick match, 

 and a bad one to go against, as any shooter might learn. Mr. 

 Turtle did not mean that Mr. Fulford could not hit the hens on 

 the box, but that he could not kill them outright. These hens are. 

 possibly not as hard as Eastern hens, cither. Evidently Mr Ful- 

 ford grows cautious as to his ability to shoot. Well, now. he's 

 going back East for a little while, and will be near the St. Law- 

 rence River. Why would it not be a good plan for him to see if 

 he can't shoot the raoids, you knewi" That's easy. 



"You fellows have got the laugh on me," said Mr. Fulford to a 

 lot of us last, night, "and I don't blame you for having a little fun 

 out of it. That's all right. I'm going to let you alone now, this 

 spring, but in the fall I will be back somewhere nearer my old 

 form, and then I will go after a lot of you. I will file a bond of 

 $1,000 to shoot half a dozen matches here next fall." 



At this expression of willingness to book a few attractions there 

 was a general willingness on the part of the attractions. At his 

 request there were written down m his notebook the names of a 

 few of those who would be willing to shoot with him. These he 

 arranged in order and aunouncfd bis schedule to be a° follows • 

 1, W. P. Mussey, 100 birds. $150; 2. J. L. Wilcox, 100 birds, $150: 3 

 R. B. Organ, 100 birds, $150; 4, Geo. Hofmann, 100 birds, $100; & 



«. — .ww. BLinmon ™ hi.^o atom, ft TT>„„„1, r» , 1-- ' 



100 birds. $150. 



•'I will hie a bond of $1,000 to-morrow to bind any or all of these 

 races, to b° shot here in the months of October, November and 

 December, 1892." 



It is probable that Mr. Fnlford's shooting will have improved 

 materially by next fall, but it is also likely that some or all of 

 these men will be waiting for him when he gets ready. Mr. Ful- 

 ford is a p'cturesque challenger, but I fear that this last gem of 

 his is injured in an artistic sense by too much of what the artists 

 call a pjcine aire effect. 



In short, we have become used to Mr. Fulford out here, and he 

 now comes around where the boys are, and we all sit around and 

 talk and bluff, and challenge, and have a good time, just as shoot- 

 ers always will. He's a Chicago man now. 



The name of the private eun club mentioned last week as or- 

 ganised by Mr. Tborne, of Montgomery Ward & Co., is the Ken- 

 wood Gun tJlub. It is now incorported under the laws of the 

 State of Illinois. The membership is 15, the officers ami morn hers 

 being as follows: Geo. R. Thome, President; Wallace L. DeWolf, 

 Vice-President; Clement L. Eaton, Secretary; Dr. H. Frothing- 

 ham, Treasurer; John E.Cornell. Benj. F Cummins, R'-mben H. 

 Tbnnellv, Edward S. Frasber, John S. Frasher, Wm. R. Gwinn 

 Ernest C. Johnson, Edwaid W. McCleilan, Wm. C. Thorne, Sidney 

 F. Underwood, Chas. C. Whiteacre. 



The above is probably exclusive information, but comes too late 

 lo be added to the list of Chicago clubs published this week. New 

 organizations constantly spring up in so large a place in these 

 days of growing interest in trap matters. 



March 2.5.— Yesterday Mr. R. S. Cox and Mr. H. B. Foss shot a 

 50-h'rd match, and Mr. Foss didn't win. Io has to be sort of rea- 

 soned out, for this is the first match Mr. Cox ever won. He is 

 after Jim Wilcox and Percy Stone again to-day, and is plucky 

 enough to make some more of them keep thinking. "I ascribe 

 the unforeseen result of to-day's match," said Mr. Cox, "to the 

 unusual preponderance in my favor of a line of coarse, fat. two- 

 for-a- quartering incomers. At these t I am simplyj hot tamales, 

 with horseradish on the aide." 



Mr. Fulford yesterday shot at 50 more practice birds, and this 

 time scored 16, losing one just over the line which was found to be 

 hit with 13 pellets of shot. These last two practice scores, 45 and 

 40, make the best shooting he has done since he came here. I hope 

 he will rally fully, and could come pretty nearly hoping that he 

 will yet be able to beat some of his numerous challengers or chal- 

 lengees. He is wise, however, not to shoot any more matches 

 this spring. This bracing lake breeze has not yet fully permeated 

 his entire system. After a while, if he stays around here, he will 

 be all right. Fine air here. 



I notice that in the issue of MaTch 34, Mr. Townsend in his 

 clever column of "Drivers and Twisters," takes me to task for the 

 assertion that "it is the strength and speed of a bird, not its course, 

 that makes it hard," and concludes that the course of the bird 

 snould come first in consideration and before its strength and 

 speed. There is, of course, much justice in this also, as there was 

 in the original statement, thought imagine that neither is abso- 

 lutely correct, as each bird must be a law unto itself and may in- 

 stance several combinations. In the case of a twisting bird, the 

 course is naturally the mam thing, for you are obliged to hit the 

 bird before you can kill it, be it weak or strong. Yet I should 

 rather shoot at a soft trailer than at a good screaming bird that 

 went to either quarter, came in, or towered, because such a bird 

 as the latter might be shot nearly to pieces and still lug over. 

 Instance, Mr. Fulford's bird of Thursdsy, which I mentioned as 

 hit with 13 pellets. Of these, 3 pellets went through the wings and 

 10 through the body, yet the bird went over. It was its strength 

 which did that. The character of the wind has much to do with 

 shooting, and we may say the "strength and speed" of the birds 

 depend much on the wind, as equally strong birds mav make vary 

 different shooting on different days. Often a bird'killed stone 

 dead will skate across the line on the wjind. Often, too, when 

 there is little wind, you may see a gallant bird, hit hard and full 

 with both barrels, struggle on and in some way get over the 

 boundary, no matter what the direction may be. 

 t Thus we come down to the case of the shield which had two 

 sides, of different colors. Perhaps also we may arrive at the 

 general le«al maxim that in any divorce suit uoth parties are 



usually to blame, I shall be hard to persuade, however, that 

 divorce is ( Dntemplated between New York and Chicago. Ium 

 disposed to think shooting and shooters are much the same in one 

 city as m the other, that good birds are about the same in both 

 places, and that the methods of the best shooters are about the 

 samp. As 1o the shooters themselves, God bless their irascible 

 hearts! they are much the same the world over, full of fV.ncy, 

 spleen and readiness for a, row on general princinles, yet lovahle, 

 as any man must be who has something of the boy left in him yet. 



Arrive we now again and again at another interesting fact, 

 virlrhcd. the rapid progress of Fokest and Stream in shooting 

 matt era. I do not remember to have seen a journal advance in 

 any department so rapidly as has Forest and Stream in trap 

 matters within the last three months. Ideas and enterprise will 

 continue to do their work. I consider the New York columns of 

 Forest and Stream to show the best shooting news service that 

 goes out of any city in theUnitedStat.es Much of this is due 

 directly to Mr. Townsend, and for this there are manv Western 

 men, rnvs< If one, who would like to thank him very sincerely, 



March 27.— The most amusing typographical error I remember 

 ever to have seen occurred in my trap communication of la«t 

 week. In this I am made to say, "it seems to me that the blower 

 of the effete East, grafted upon the wild and wooly stem of the 

 exuberant West, ought to make a good combination." This is 

 pretty good, though 1 am afra : d about 10,000 men will take that 

 as a personal allusion. What I meant to say was the "Jlower of 

 the tftete East," etc , etc., which would much improve tue meta- 

 phor at least, if it didn't the accuracy of the remark. One must, 

 1 presume, get used to seeing his grammar and spelling knocked 

 out by the types, but this felonius assault upon my personal rhet- 

 oric has resulted, it seems to me, in something which comes 

 mighty near being funny. E. Hornn.

The unusual scarcity of live pigeons caused a change In the 

 programme at John Erb's "Old Stone House" grounds in Newark, 

 N. J., last Thursday. As previously announced in these columns 

 a twenty-five bird sweep was to be shot on (hat day and a big 

 crowd was expected. Erb however had been unable to secure as 



and balmy and the sun clear. Among the prominent shooters 

 who were on hand ready to t*>st one ahoLher's skill were Win. S. 

 Canon, the one-armed expert of Newark; J. Frank Kleinz, Rich- 

 ard Irwin and R. "Roberts," of Philadelphia; Allen VVillev. the 

 man who wields the editorial pen on the Hartford: (Conn.) '(iUfnr; 

 M. F. Lindsley and E.^dy Collins of Hoboken; Captain Wm. Crae- 

 mer of Jersey C;ty; Samuel Castle, E.Francis and Charles M. 

 Hedden of Newark; Enoch W. Miller of Springfield, and Wm. G. 

 Hollisof Kearney. Among the spectators were J. CocVefair of 

 Bloomfield; John Riggott of Kocka^ay; Robert Baar of the East 

 Side-Mutual Gun Club; Gottfried Snellen, Andrew Walters and 

 Fred C. Dietz of tne Essex Amateur Rifle Club. John Erb acted 

 as referee while C. H. Townsend and Frank Mason alternated as 

 official scorers. The result of the work is shown in the order m

Dexter Park, March 22.— A dozen members of the Jeannette 

 Gun Club had an outing here to-day. Only match and sweep- 

 stake shoots took place. The weather was fine and the birds 

 good but the snow badly interferred with the shooters. Under 

 the circumstances the shooting of A. J. Christian, secretary of 

 the club, was very good, he winning second prjza in the first 

 sweep and first in the second. 



The first event was a team match, five on a side, for a dinner, 10 

 birds per man. C. Biuuie's side won by the following score

Woodlawn Park, Mai ch 23.— The regular monthly shoot of 

 the Erie Gun Club was hel 1 to-day in very disagreeable weather: 

 a d-nse fog at times interfered with the shooters in using the 

 second barrel. The birds were a good lot. and most, of the mem-' 

 hers shot well. C Detlefsen, C. Plate. C. Mohrman, H. Dohrman 

 and W. Scheelje were the most effective.

The shoot-oils for tne ties were hotly contested, the one for sec-

 ttraight before forcing C. Detlefsen out of the race. The club 

 badge and first money were secured by C. Mohrman, while fourth 

 went to J. Plate; Hayden won third in the shoot. 



At the February shoot there were not enough birds to shoot off 

 ties for the club medal and money prizes and these were decided 

 to-day. the result being as follows:

Dexter Park, March 23.— The First German Gun Club of New 

 York held its first shoot of the year at Dexter Park to-day, fol- 

 lowed by a dinner. The birds were good lively flyers, but the fog 

 interfered with the shooters. H. Miner, G. Grau and F. Pfaender 

 shot well. The two first shot off the tie for medal and Grau won
