Chicag-o Traps. 



Chicago, HI , Sept. 29.— Cumberland Gun Club held a big clam 

 bake and pigeon shoot last Saturday at the lodge near Lowell, 

 Ind. More than 40O birds were shot and fully that many clams 

 disposed of. The birds came from Chicago, and the clams from 



^To-morrow evening Garfield Club will hold its semi-annual 

 meeting at the Sherman House. Business of importance will be 

 taken up and some changes in the by-laws proposed. It is also 

 proposed to have a series of live -bird shoots for a diamond medal 

 or bai^ge. to be shot for once a month in Novemher, December, 

 .lanu iry, February, March and April, at 20 birds each. The man 

 winning the trophy the greatest number of times in the sis shoots 

 retains it as personal propeity. Subscriptions to this medal fund 

 are 85 each. No entries will be received after Oct. 1. These 

 matches are entirely independent of tbe usual holiday shoots, 

 and all expenses will be paid by the medal contestants. 



Charlie Budd is beginning to pester again, and writes as follows 

 from Des Moines under date of Sept. 25: , ^ . 



"You may think 1 am not in shooting matters, but I am, just 



the same. I will be in Chicago about February ready to battle 

 with some of the record breakers, and be in condition to do .some 

 shooting, I hope. How do the boys take to the new park? I am 

 in hop'fs it will be a fast ground and as lucky for me as the old 

 one. I shall surely be on hand during the World's Fair series, 

 but am sorrv the shooling could not take place during the cold 

 weather, as 'the birds would be much better and it would put more 

 life in the work. 



"I see Jack the Giant Killer is still killing 'em bv the hund- 

 reds. Uops E. D. Fulford still hanker after my scalp? 



"1 am going to do considerable field shooting this fall, and run 

 about SOi.bs. weight off me, as I now weieh 190. 



"Kindly remember me to all the boys."

Live Birds at Claremont. 



For a long time some of the more liberal members of the New 

 Jersey Shooting Club have been agitatins a movement in favor 

 of having live bird shoots on their Claremont grounds, which are 

 now in fair shape for that sport. They have not as yet succeeded 

 in having live bird contests ofhciaUy sanctioned by the club, but 

 still have been allowed to put out traps, establish a 21yd8. bound- 

 ary and enioy the sport whenever they chose. The grounds have 

 been flUed in as far as the boundary fence, which is IS-n. high 

 and 21yd8. from the center traps. One of the prime niovers m the 

 pigeon shooting agitation is Fred G. Moore, who is one of the most 

 enthusiastic shooters in this vicinity, and it is hoped that he will 

 finally succeed in securing tbe club's permission to run a series ot 

 regular Wednesday afternoon invitati'in shootp, open to mem- 

 bers and invited guests. The arrounds are to be given a few more 

 loads of filling, after which they will be equal to any m this sec- 

 tion. On Wednesday, Sept. 28, Mr. Moore. I. H. Richmond, H. E. 

 Smith J. R. Sunderman and Messrs. "Edwards" and "Meadows" 

 went to the grounds and in a quiet way enjoyed half a day's sport 

 with about a couple of hundred rattling good birds. All stood at 

 30yds., the events beine at ten birds each and the entry fee nomi-

On the Old Stone House Grounds. 



A FINE lot of birds were furnished for the shooters who visited 

 the ' Old Stone House" grounds on Saturday last. The day was 

 clear and cool and in the afternoon a heavy breeze made the 

 birds feel like crossing the fence, which a number of them suc- 

 ceeded in doing. The main event of the day ws a match at 35 

 live birds each, between John Erb and Henry Newhouse, for a 

 stake of $25 a side. Hurlingham rules to govern. The old veteran 

 Samuel Castle officiated as referee. This lot of birds were 

 "corkers" and three of those shot at by Newhouse carried their 

 loads of shot over the fence and died ^-^f^ ^If^^^^^^^^
