SHOOTING BY ELECTRIC LIGHT. 



AiCHisox. Ksns., July SS.— Editor For&s't and Stream: On the 

 niehtbl: July 23, between 9 and 10 o'clock a nov«l sweepstake 

 shoot took place in thi - city, as per arrarigement with Mr. J. H. 

 Jacobs, patentee of the illuminating targpt. TLe object of this 

 shoot was 10 thoronghlv test the iiew target by artificial light, 

 which was done at the hands of our amateur club. 



The invention has been materially impiovtd, so much that it 

 works without » single omiss'on, and can bp. handled as rapidly 

 bv night as any device made for shooting at daytime. This fully 

 illu*i.rates that shooting under electric lights will be enjoyed 

 before long all over this country. Thp expnnse is but a trifle 

 more. Manv sportsmen are so situated that they cannot ' njoy 

 the sport of the day, who otherwise wmild engage in it if theie 

 was buch a thing as shooting after dark. Now there is such a 

 thing. The aim under the electric light is equally as good, if not 

 belter, than in da.yli.ght, as thTe is no dark background or trees 

 to interfere. One trial will convince any trap shooter that it 

 works to perfc' tion. When shot it will record correctly, and 

 look beautiful, leaving behind it a display of sparks. Oiir local 

 trap shooters were pleasfd viitb this first shoot so much th«t they 

 have arranged for a team shoot one night each week. At this 

 trial Mr. Jac^hsused the blnerocks, which carry the attachment 

 splendidly. Out of 12.'i bird.s shot at only two were brokpn at the 

 trap, and the flight was perfect. Any one wishing information 

 can write to tne inventor. J. W. Jacobs.

FRED HOEY-CAPTAIN MONEY. 



At Hollvwood on Monday, An sr. 3, these two crack shots met 

 inaconte«t at 100 birds, for a $.500 stake. The birds were of 

 superior quality, and np to the 70th rf^ur d the race was a neck 

 and neck one, after that rou^d the Captain forged ahead and kept 

 killing straight until he had m^de a run of 26 the largest of the 

 contest. Both gentlemen were in fire fettle, and considering the 

 quality of the birds, the scorf« are grand ones.

WESTERN TRAPS. 



Burlington. la-, Aug. 4.— [Special.]- The Burlington and Des 

 MotU'-s County trap sho' ters waittd in vain f"r the Chicago 

 Sporting Beview fcp«m of 10 men. consisting of Bndd, Marstiall, 

 and others, to appear to-day. The Chtcigo team was billed to 

 shoot a hundred-bird match with thp INimrods of Burlington, but 

 owing to ihoir non-appearance the tournament was hpld without 

 thera. Notwithstanding the omission of the principal feature the 

 day's shooting was full of interest. la the first shoot, 10 singles 

 Black and Hale div, first, with a score of 9. Hickey and Delong 

 lied lor second, and Forbes pnd Cable for third. In shoot No. 3, 

 15 singles. BUck took first money with a score of 14. Hale second 

 witli 13, and Cable and Minard div. third. In sbont No. 4, 5 pairs. 

 Marshall took first money with a clean score. Miller and BaVicock 

 div. spfoud. and A. Bab ock took third. In the last shoot. 15 «in- 

 gles. Black, Babcock and Hale div. first with p-^rfect scores; Tobie 

 and A. Babcock t0"k spcond money with 14 birds each; and 

 Marshall. M-yer and McKie div. third with 13 birds each. 



The tpam above referred to was a feature of a midsummer tour 

 which did not tour. 



Chicago, III , Aug. 4 — Garflpld Gun Clnb, West Side, this city, 

 opens a three days' rourn«ment to-day at tin birds and live birds. 

 The Montgomery, Ward & Co diamond badge will be shot for to- 

 morrow, and this wiU probably be the leading event of the tour- 

 nament. There are 30 events programmed, and a pleasant little 

 time should he eTpPcted. 



The Northwestern Indiana Shooting AsFociation will bold its 

 sixth tournament at Crown Point. August 6 °nd 7, Thursday and 

 Fridav. I was laughing with Mel. Hart, of C own Point, the 

 other day. over the unique consolation priz 8 offered in the pro- 

 gramme, which run« as follows: 



"The following prizes w 11 be awarded in the events named to 

 the shooter makitig the best score and failing to get a i>lar-e for 

 money: First evpnt. first prize. 1 box High Art cigar", by Jos. 

 'Elder, 31.75; second pnze, 41bP. cofCee, by Ed. Church. SI 25. Sec- 

 ond eveni, first prize, 1 pair fine =hoPS, by Wm Krimbill, iJ3;

 pagne, nv J'lS. Rosenbau^r, $3; third prizp, buggy whip, by R. G. 

 Bielpfeld, $1. Fourth event, first prize, Idoz. Aristo panels, by W. 

 H. Havward. $4; second prize, 200 Ftaridard shells, by H. Marble, 

 $3; third prize, bottle bay rum, Kiiboura. & Aston, ®1. J'ifth 



event, second prize, 501bs. flour, by E. B. MUler, S1.50; second 

 prize, lOlbs. roast beef, by Ohas, Frpderich, $150; third prize, 1 

 pncketbook. by J. P. MBtrill, $1. Sixth event, first; prize, collar 

 and cuff" box, by H. Swartz, $3; second prize, case of beer. L. 

 Reeder, $1.50; third prize, gan-wippr, by Wm. Minas, $1.50. Sev- 

 enth event, first prtZ", easel, by H. C. Griesel & '^'on, $2; spconri 

 prize. lOlbs. roast beef, by John Zea, fl.50; third priz", hox of 

 Schultze's powder sbel's, 81. Fiehth event, first prize, vear's sub- 

 srriptton to the Lalie Gimntxj Star, by .1. J. Wheeler. $1; second 

 prizp, 25 Blaichford shells, by O, G Wheeler, 50 cent=>. Ninth 

 event, first prize. Igal. jar butter, by J. G. Scrabpl, $3; SPCond 

 prizp.3doz. Flfirida oranges, by Mrs. C. E. Englert, .50 cents." 



These homely rewards of merit only show the substantial 

 nature of a Crown Point wplcnme. and the man w>io expects to 

 drop in there and win even a t^utrgy whip or a jar of butter with- 

 out shooting o plenty for it is badly mistaken, for the Crown Point 

 men are hard to beat at the trap. Bluemcks the first day, and 

 English spirrows the second, the latter rather a novelty still. 

 Mr. R, B. Wadaworth and Mr. W. P. Mussey will go down from 

 here and perhaps others. Few events are pleasanter than the 

 Crown Point shoots. 



^^(£f. C— Mr. A. W, Bruner, of Riverside, Cal.. once an Illinois 

 man and one of the best known shooters of California, where be 

 is known as "Wiley." is in this cty for a short time enjoying him- 

 self. He will challenge Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, of Kansas Citv, for 

 the cbampionshin cup. and it is thought =iure that this race will be 

 shot be' ore Mr. Bruner's return to California. 



Mr. Low Harrison, the robust exponent of M'nneapolis sports- 

 manship, is in Chicago for two days, iust for instance. He often 

 comes over, turns around and goes back again. K H. 



CLEVELAND. O., Aug. 4.— The regular shoot for the Sipe & 

 Sigler championship cup was held at ihe trans of the Clpyeland 

 Gun Club yest^^rday afternoon. It was an excellent dav for the 

 event, but the scores were only fair, with the exception" of that 

 made by Upson, which was extraordinarilv good. The only b'rd 

 that he missed was the forty-eigth and it, was the straightaway.

SAN FRANCISCO, Atig. 2.— The Recreation Gun Club, of Ssn 

 Francisco, held its fifth live-bird shoot fo'- this season at the Oak- 

 land race track grounds this forenoon. The attendance was good, 

 though the day in many respects was not a favorable one for 

 pigeon shooting, there bemg a strong wiad constantly sweeping 

 across the range. The birds werp about the liveliest lot evpr taken 

 to the gr.'uads. Th^re were only two "duffers" for the day, and 

 the large number of birds lost caused the sportsmen to siarh for a 

 few "duffers." Th« scores were not up to the aver age from this 

 and other reasons, but several of the nrack shots managed to keep 

 up their record in spite of the difficulties enumerated. In the 

 regul r match Qfteen contestants entered with appended result at

Following this came a six-bird pool shoot, $3.50 entrance fee, 

 same rules governing as in match, whieh resulted as follows: 



Smith 6 Barney 6 W J Golcher 5 



Haas 6 Dasey 5 Rand ell 6 



Slide 4 Bolander. 6 Dunham 4 



H C Golcher 4 _ _ , , 



In another pool shoot between Smith, Haas, bchroeder, Slade, 

 Dasey, Bolander, W. J Golcher, Randall and Dunham, Dasey and 

 Bolander both killed six straight birds and divided first and second 

 money. Smith mi^ised his second bird, a swift driver. Haa.s 

 missed two— the first and fourth— Schroder missed his sixth and 

 Slade missed two 'n four trials and withdrew. W. J. Golcher l^st 

 his second, an incompr, after using both barrels, and Randall lost 

 his first, which went out of the trap almost as swi ft as a shot from 

 his own abreviated piece. Dunham held ont well till the last bird, 

 using his second barrel only for the third, but missed the sixth 

 a ad last. 



HACKRTTSTOWN, N. J., Aug. 5.— Kindlv change the dates of 

 our tournament, as by some mistake they include Sunday. Aug. 

 80. Thev' should b« Sept. 1 and 2 at targets and on Thursday, 

 Sppt. 3, live birds. A large attendance is expected. The shoo'ers 

 will be entiri-ly protpcted from sun and rain by a canvas awning 

 pstending the full length of ihe traps. The shooting will be from 

 five traps rapid firing system , and it will take r bag full of shells 

 to get around. An extra set of trans will be in constant use dur- 

 ing the whole t' ree days. We hope our second effort may prove 

 as pleasant and as successful as our maiden effort last Septem-
