Chicago and the World's Fair Shoot. 



Chicago. 111., Oct. 12.— The executive committee of ihe Illinois 

 State Sportsmen's Asscoiation endeavored lo meet at tiie Sber- 

 man Hoifp, this city, 4 P. M. Oct. 10; iiresent. Messrs. Organ, 

 Eich and Hough; no quorum. Tnt'oroial talk followed, and the 

 three on hand discusstd tlje seriousness of the situation in regard 

 to the World's Fair tournament. To them it seemed that all the 

 country was looking to five or six men for a successful isRue of a 

 great tindertakiner, wliile these men had as yet done nothing, and 

 were not even fully represented at a meetir? called for t he dis- 

 cussion of plans which are all too tardy. It was resolved that 

 serious thought and serious hustling were eminently in order, 

 and each man present promised to go to work. 



Mr. Orean thought that the Illinois State shoot shotild be 

 made entirely di.^tinct from the World's Fair shoot, and that the 

 latter should be held in October. He thought that hy October he 

 could get the magaiflcent grounds of the Washington Park 

 Driving Club, only twenty minutes from town and splendidly 

 equipped with every convenience. In Octo'ner al^o the birds 

 would be better and easier to obtain in numbers. Mr. Organ did 

 not see how the Illinois Association could swing this tournament, 

 but was disposed to think that perhaps a, company could be 

 formed to run the shoot, and that this might be the best solution 

 of the difficulty. He was sure the two State events alone of the 

 Illinois shoot would take nearly two weeks. A bier open shoot 

 after that to last €0 to 90 days, perhaps, would be more of a task 

 than the Association officers could handle. He did not insist on 

 the October date but preferred it. 



Mr. Eich thought that the Btate shoot could all be run off in one 

 week, but was confident that either a June or October date would 

 bring out many shooters. It seemed to him also tfantastock 

 company would be almost a necessity. While Watson's Park, as 

 now laid out, was entirely inadequate to a shoot the size of that 

 to be expected, a company might for the season secure grounds 

 adjoining on the south, and so extend the grounds that 

 three or four sets of live bird traps and perhaps twice as many 

 target scores could be run at once. If the October date was 

 not concluded upon, the State shoot might be held in J\ine, as 

 usual, and the open shoot at the close of the State events could be 

 handed, directly over to the company management. 



It was agreed that at least $50,000 should be bung up by the man- 

 agement, a sum larger than was ever shot for in open tournament 

 and sufficient to make the tournament really a world's event. It 

 was also to be considered as a fac t liot to be disputed that arrange- 

 ments should be set on foot at ouoe to make the proper supply of 

 pigeons a certainty. 



Matters being so uncertain, president Organ arranged for a 

 meeting of the committee on call of the secretary nest week, at 

 which time the spcretary will also issue Invitations to interested 

 sportsmen of Chicago to meet the committee in open oouucil. At 

 this meeting it is thought the plan of action will definitely shape 

 itself. The committee should all be present. Mr. Donald, of the 

 committee, was out of town th's week and sent ressons for 

 absence. Mr, Edbrooke and Mr. Nicliolls were also absent. 



Thus it may be seen that the question of the World's Fair shoot 

 is still unsettled, and is field for surmise. Let us. suppose that a 

 company management be formed to conduct this shoot. This 

 company could send a live man East, who should come back with 

 $10,0(30 added money from the heavy manufacturing concerns. 

 To this the company itself should add cash according to its 

 capital. Let us suiipoae that the live Mrd shoots would take the 

 form of the English ''star sweepstakes"— a miss-and-out with the 

 privilege of rp-entr.v. say, two or three times, with a time limit 

 for such re-entry. Witli an entrance fee of $25. $15, or even $10, 

 each man would be apt to want at least one more life la the shoot, 

 to cure the accident of his miss. Let us say that we have an entry 

 of 200 (we have had an entry of 133 in Illinois State shoot alone). 

 It may easily be seen that the money In the purse would be very 

 heavy, far heavier than was ever seen in America. With the 

 profits of the shoot, and with the added money offered by cor - 

 cerns which had always been liberal, and which would now" serve 

 themselves by being more than liberal, would it not be possible 

 for the management to offer a programme stating "One thousand 

 dollars added to ea.ch and every live bird purse. One hundred 

 dollars added to each target purse? " Assure the money, and you 

 couldn't keep the shooters away. Granted a decent showing of 

 American shooters alone, and not counting on the many who will 

 probably come from Kurope: the management would have its 

 money handed back to it with rapid interest. There is money in 

 running a shoot, and big money in a big shoot like this, wherp the 

 rates for entry and for birds should he graded distinctly higher 

 than usual. The only mistake a management could make would 

 be in getting seared, and trying to run this big shoot on any 

 picayunish basis. If the proper Chicago men take hold of it. 

 there is no danger of this latt^r. At any rate, here is a plan, 

 and something to criticise and improve upon. 



With the October date I could not personally at this writing 

 agree or disagree, although at first thought it seems to ma that 

 the widely-un<ierstood June date of the Illinois shoot, insepar- 

 ably fixed as it ha'i now become with the World's Fair shoot in 

 the public mind, would constitute just that much advertising 

 already accomplished for the shoot, whereas another date would 

 have to overcome all this advertising of the old date, besides 

 establishing its own. Yet another very serious reason against 

 October, and one a company should certainly consider, is that an 

 October date would mean possible rough weather and certainly 

 not more than a thirty days shoot, while June would offer good 

 weather and a tournament perhaps all summer long — naturally 

 more profitable. The June attendance would also, probably, be 

 heavier, as October claims many for the field or for soberer 

 work. 



With the plea that the date of October should be nhcsen in 

 order to gain more time for securing birds we should have no 

 patience whatever. If it comes to putting things off, we might 

 as well say a year from October. If Chicago could erect all these 

 great buildings, and in short create the Fair in two years, 

 Chicago can buy a few thousand pigeons in sis months. The 

 birds can be obtained for June as well as for O tober, but they 

 never will be obtained by sitting down and waiiing lor them, or 

 by putting off the proper work until the last moment. On the 

 question of ihese birds, and on the question of this great World's 

 I'air shoot, Chicago ought to go to work at once, and keep on at 

 it, hard, quick and plenty. 



Get. (.1.— The big house of Montgomery Ward & Co. seems dis- 

 posed to get hold of all the good men possible for its gun depart- 

 ment. I was up there to-day and saw Rolla Heikes with his coat 

 off, loading shells in the hand-loading department, next to Edoie 

 Bingham, and was suiprifed Co learn that he had gone in with the 

 house permanently. Shooters over the countrv mav well believe 

 there is luck in a shell touched b» Rolla Heikes. With Horace 

 Greely Holt, Bingham, Skinner, Moran. Grubbs, Drake, etc., all 

 in the gun department, it would seem that the firm was safe for a 

 while. 



Mr. Oswald von Lengerke this week encountered what in these 

 days of trap-shooting is generally called a "snap." He dropped 

 into a nice littie country shoot an Fulton, 111., and was fortuna te 

 enough not to meet more than one or two of the "rounders." Re- 

 sult, some cash. 



Once there was a tournament at Peoria, and all the separate 

 and iridxvidual rounders of the tournament gang took the notion, 

 each in his own head, that Peoria would be a good place to find 

 some "easy money." It is said that t(-n of the best experts in the 

 country had this same idea, and started for Peoria without saying 

 a word to anybody else. When they all met at Peoria there was 

 a sickly sort of smile all around, and what seemed a fairsvstem 

 of division had to bedrranged, Thatwasvary disappointing, very. 

 I have always felt sorry about it ever since. 



J. A. R, Elliott, of PCansas City, has challenged E. D, Fulford to 

 shoot five matches, $.500 a side each, at different cities. Fulford 

 is said to have accepted. 



SAB DAYS. 



Oct. tt.— The melancholy d^ys have come. The challenging has 

 begun. 



Mr. E. D- Fulford announces that next week he will spring a 

 surprise, indeed a sensation, upon the American public which 

 will divert attention from the cholera prospect, ibe World's Fair 

 and the political campaign. He will challenge Mr. J. A. R. Elliott 

 to shoot him five mafche=, 100 birds. S200 a match, one each in 

 Kansas City, Pittsburgh, H-trrisburg, New York and Chioagn, 

 winner of the series to be proclaimed champion of the world! 



This is a good thing. But has Mr. Fulford reflected how bad 

 Jack Brewer and Dr. Carver and Charlie Bada and Martinez 

 Chick, and Lewis Clark, of Australia, and Walter Blake, of Eng- 

 land, and Journeau. of France and others whom he names as pos- 

 sible contestants, will feel about this? Is there not danger of their 

 calling him real mean? And— oh, yes: I knew there was some- 

 thing I was trying to thick of— will the band please play some 

 ancient and soothing Scotch melody? 



Jack Winston, ohi Jack, come up here, Jaclc. You maybe can't 

 get a race for the championship ot the world, but you can have a 

 lot of fun. Come up here. Jack ; we wanr yon. 



There will be sweepstakes shooting at Watson's Park, Burnside. 

 at live birds and at targets Friday and Saturday, Oct. 21 and 22, 

 commencing at 1 P. M. each day, B. HoiTGH. 



175 Monroe Sikeex, Chicago. 



An American Handicap. 



New London, Conn., O St. 17.— jB(?/to»' Torest and stream: The 

 next shoot of the Interstate Association will be held at Modus, 

 Conn., on Oct. 25 and 26, This will be the last Interstate ahoot of 

 thp season at targets. The association has been a grand suecess 

 this year, and has certainly done a great deal of good in the way 

 of increasing an interest in trap shooting and in increasing the 

 demand for goods made by the different manufacturers of guns, 

 ammunition, etc. It is also very evident that a great manv 

 manufacturers have reaped the benefit of the association that are 

 not members, and we hope to see their names on the list next 

 season. 



We snail give a grand live-bird shoot the second week in Janu- 

 ary in New Jersey, as near New Y^ork city as po'^sible. The shoot 

 will open on Tuesday. Jan. 10. and we shall endeavor to make it 

 the grandest tournament evpr given in this country. I am at 

 present corresponding with different ones in regard to turnishinK 

 flrst-cJass country birds, and shall employ the best of experts to 

 handle same. We shall, during that tournament, give a ,25-bird 

 event, .$50 entrance, with at least .$100 added, which we shall make 

 the event", of the year, and we shall give this shoot annually. 

 There will be a book opened at said tournament, which 

 will be kept from season to season, and entries will be 

 taken for this event until the 1st of October of each year. The 

 entrance for the second season will probably be $iiX), and we shall 

 endeavor to have from $500 to $1,000 added. This event will be 

 shot Monaco boundary. The best improved traps will be used, 

 and everything pertaining to the tournament will be first-class. 

 There are so many world heaters or rather champions of the 

 world in our country that this event will give them an opportu- 

 nity to ascertain who the champion is, and will also enlighten 

 the pubiic on tlie subject. It has not yet been decided on what 

 grounds this tournament will be held, but it will Vte by the middle 

 of November. As itmaytalie two or three days to finish this 

 event we will not state just how long the shoot will be open, but 

 it will be kept open until this event is shot down to one man. 



Tuesday will be devoted to sweepstake shooting, with good fair 

 entrances at ftrst-class birds, and it is probable that sweepstake 

 as well as the other event will be shot under Monaco boundary. 

 We shall arrange programme for same and mail them to all 

 shooters by Nov. 15. Entries for the main event (which will be 

 for the champiorishio of America and will be known as the Grand 

 Amerieaa Handicap) will be received on a.nd after the first day of 

 November. All shooters will be handicapped for this event as 

 they arrive upon the grounds; 30yds. will be the limit, and such 

 men as Brewer, Fulford, Elliott. Budd and allin that class will be 

 compelled to shoot at the ;%yd8. mark. I have a very complete list 

 of live bird shots of America and have been watching their scores 

 very carefully and have my handicap made for a great many that 

 T think will enter in this contest, that they will be compelled to 

 shoot from. There will be no favorites played and nobody t)arrerl, 

 and this shoot will be conducted Under the strictest rules. We 

 will not vary from the rules one iota. Everybody will he com- 

 pelled to live up to the rules, which will be modified Hurlingham 

 rules with Monaco boundary. Any combinations formed or any 

 one shooting to favor another or trying to iilaee himself, will, if 

 detected, forfeit his or their interest In the purse. We shall en- 

 deavor to make this the live bird eA"ent of the year, from year to 

 year, and ask that all the manufacturers and shooters of America 

 assist us with the same and in the course of a few years we will 

 be able to have as much added money in this live bird event as 

 they have in any crautry, and it will be worth struggline for by 

 any American or foreign spnrtsman, H. A. Penhose.
