MrLWAUKEE-CHICAGO. 



CHiOAao, 111., Ang. 22,— The city of Milwaiikflo has a yoTing but 

 able .sLiooting orgiinizutioa in the Milwaukee Field and Trap As- 

 sociation, now imie over a year in ago. This society is devoted 

 to live bird shooting, and includes on itss list many very clever 

 followers o£ that sport. A short time ago this asnnciation con- 

 cluded it would like a little v\sit to Chicago, and in that course 

 •arrangements were made by which a friendly maioii whr to be 

 shot with the Fort Dtarhorn Olub of the latter citj'. I'urF^ianfc 

 to the programme, the Milwaukee boys left home yeslerd;i,y even- 

 ing, saillne in the steattier Virginia, and braving tiie dangers of 

 tlie uasalied seas, including the bumboats of the Government 

 pier. The voyage was a roughish one, and as the whole party 

 was crowded into one cabin the night was spent in a highly wake- 

 ful manner, though one hardly conducive to good work at the 

 traps on the day following. The following genilemen comprised 

 the Milwaukee party: Dr. J. L. Williamson, Dr. J. P. Carmichael, 

 Messrs. E. Merrill, H. B. Tefft, O. L. Deiter, F. P. Stannard, A. 

 H. Chapman, J. M. Marlelt, W. H, Thurston, Percy Thomas, Geo. 

 A. Wear, Chris, Schmidt, \V. B intam and Stephen Meunier. 



Ft. Dearborn Club had selected for its team the following gentle- 

 men: A. and G-. Kleinmau, A. Thomas, C. D. Gammon, C. E. 

 Telton. A. aiad G, Hofmaun, C. S. Burton, H. Ehlers, W. ISf. Low, 

 W. L. Sheparrl, H. Kleinman, .1. E, Price, C. B. Dicks and W. W. 

 McFarlaud; alternates, H. W. Loveday, W. L. Wells, J. M. Hutch- 

 inson, F. C. Donald and H. D. Nichols. 



Shooting began late this morning at Watson's Park, Burnside, 

 after a xjreliminary report down town. The conditions were 20 

 live birds, American Association rules, the match shot as a aeries 

 of individual races, the team totals to count. Milwaukee shot 

 only 13 men, Instead of 14 as was intended, and some said this un- 

 lucky number only completed the hoodoo began by starting away 

 from homo on Friday. The Ft. Dearborn team was changed a 

 Utile, Col. Felton, Geo. Hofmann and Mr. McFarland not shoot- 

 ing, and the team being made up as below. Dr. Hutchinson, from 

 the alternates, shooting a very pretty score. The Klein man family, 

 as see the scores, ran high as usual. Mr. Shepard let out one or 

 two unsuspected notches. Mi-. Low shot beautifully, and Al. Hof- 

 man also came within one of a straight. The only straight made 

 in the shoot was accomplished by Br'er GaWge Kleinman, with 

 his famous prize machine gun, the one with the discounts off, ' 



The Cream City men, broken up as they were by their hard 

 night, shot a very plucky race, and some performances were cred- 

 itable. Mr. Merrill, tirobably the youngest of their team, did the 

 best work, and came very near tying Geo. Kleinma.n. His style is 

 very neat and clever. Mr. Thurston shot a plur ky race also. He 

 shoots in the old style, gun below the elbow, and this position is 

 so rarely seen nowadays I hat it attracted much attention. Mr. 

 Thurston tied Andy Thomas, who had the misfortune of getting 

 three birds altogether, wiiich he hadn't the heart to kill. Dr. 

 "Williamson, Ur. (/armiohael and Mr Deiter all shot very neatly 

 aud got applause. Mr. Bantam, retriever for the team, did some 

 brilliant work as short stop on incoming birds, once receixdng an 

 ovation therefor. The following is the score as it was shot:

 lar olub days. The birds were above the average in quality, and a 

 strong cross wind helped them in their flight. The regular field 

 day is announced for Sept. 17, when a general jollification meet- 

 ing will be held, and a good .attendance anticipated. Previous to 

 the regular club event several sweeps were shot off, some of which

 temporarily appointed in place of Mr. W. G. McKendr:ck. assisted

 light wind. The race was wem by Gwen with Owa .second. While 

 drifting with no wind, the crew of Owa began to rock his canoe, 

 swinging the sails from side to side, and thus propelling her quite 

 rapidly. Gwen's crew noticed it and imitated the trick with good 

 results. 



Monday, Aug. 17. 



The first race on Monday was the record paddling, 17 starters, 

 over a half-mile straightaway course, L'Hirondelle being the

Tuesday, Auy. 18. 



Tuesday, visitors' day, was cloudy and rainy in the morning, 

 but cleared before noon and became iiuite hot, \yiih a stray shower 

 in the afternoon. The attendance was very different from last 

 year in point of numbers and in the behavior of the visitors; they 

 were mainly country folks, who drove to camp in buggies and 

 buckboards, silting quietly in their conveyances all the morning, 

 and In the afternoon gathering in the grove on th^ point to watch 

 the races. The main and ladies' camps were not invaded and 

 overrun as at Jessup's Neck, but the visiters were well behaved 

 and unobtrusive. 



The camp has been very fortunate in this respect, outside visit- 

 ors have been few in number, mostly friends of the canoeists, and 

 the tourist and summer hotel element have been entirely absent. 

 The Willshorough House has afforded all the advantages of a 

 hotel in the way of good food and of accommodation tor those 

 unable to camp out, while its regular guests are quiet people bent 

 on a sensible outing. The meet can hardly be called a dress affair 

 this year, the men being mostly in boating rigs, while the ladies 

 are nearly all old campers and well posted on camp dress. 



The first race of Tuesday was for tue paddling trophy, won last 

 year by Mr. Harry McKendriok, who is not here to defend it. 

 There was a large field of entries, but the Canadian contingent, 

 with their handsome paddling craft, scaretl off the men with 

 regular decked canoes, only one man, Mr. Kaappe, coming to the 

 line to represent the United States. He had wita him the famcms 

 Narka, owned and paddled by Dr. Rice at Lake George in 1888, 

 since which time, when she won from Johnson and Knappe, she 

 has not been seen at a meet. 



The four Canadian paddlers were all good men; M. F. Johnson 

 is well known at the meets, though he has not paddled at one 

 since 1888. He used the canoe paddled by Mr. W. A. Leys last 

 year, a very light boat which has since been strengthened by more 

 timbers. He paddles in a standing position, the feet being laced 

 in shoes screwed to the floor boards, his paddle being about 10ft. 

 long, with spoon blades. Mr. Tilley, of Toronto, the second man in 

 the trophy and record paddiing of last year, and Mr. Carnegie, of 

 Coboconk, who was flrscin the record and third in the trophy, each 

 paddled a handsome Hpanish cedar canoe built by the Toronto 

 Canoe Co. from Mr. Tilley's lines, their paddles and positions 

 being similar to Johnson's. Mr. Muntz, an old oarsman and 

 member of the Argonaut B. C, of Toronto, paddled a light open 

 canoe built by Wallace, of Toronto; a shell builder. He knelt on 

 one knee, the position used by Mr. McKendrick, and used a very 

 short paddle, 8ft. 9in.. the blade itself being very short. Mr. 

 Knappe sat in his boat, using a foot stretcher. Though a light 

 canoe, Narka is probably 10 to20lbs. heavier than the others, being 

 decked with wood, the others being open or decked with oiled 

 silk. 



The course was measured as accurately as could possibly be 

 done with a log, being run several times eacn way. The start 

 was up the bay, the finish one mile away, off headquarters. The 

 water was smooth and the wind light on starboard quarter. 



Knappe held a good place at the start and for the first quarter, 

 but Johnson took the lead, with Carnegie near him, Tilley had, 

 trouble with his shoe and stumbled in the boat a couple of times. 

 When on tue last quarter Mun z drew up, m'-ikiag a fine spurt 

 near the finish, and won by a length. Johnson was second and 

 Carnegie third. Knappe dropped to fourth on the last quarter. 

 The lime was 6m. 39s., which is very far ahead of previous reooi-ds, 

 over 83. 



The great sea serpent made a cruise about the camp to the great 

 amusement of the spectators and the consternation of a small dog 

 In a canoe. His presence was announred by the signal B. H. 

 'There are sharks about, keep a sharp lookout for them." During 

 the morning there arrived in camp Mrss Sophie Burnet, of Peter- 

 borough, with Col, J. Z. Rogers, Dr. Neide, the former secretary- 

 treasurer, hardly recognizable since he has parted with his beard, 

 and Mr. Stoddard, on the search for pictures for a new volume of 

 "Glimpses," which will be published this fall. 



In the afternoon the combined race was called, but there was go 

 little wind as to make the three sailing legs mere drifts. Tt was 

 oontest'-o on the outer trla.ngle, the first leg under phddlo, all 

 buoys to starboard. There were thii'teea stiirtera, Cricket holdi
