THANKSGIVING DAY AT WHEELING. 



When, on WedDeeds.y. N^v. 23, we boarded a B. & O. train and 

 Started for Wheeliner, W Va., to attend the first aunual trap 

 tournament of the West Virginia State Sportsojen's Association, 

 the air was rattier cold and raw. bnt the sun was shinine brightly, 

 - and we wpre inclined to think that Thanksgiving Day might for 

 once he ushered in with fairly good weather that would attract a 

 goodly number to the shoot and convention. After leaviug 

 Waehington, however, the sun went under a cl mid, the air got 

 more chill and damp, and hv the time historic Harper's Ferry 

 was passed the snow, beautiful Imt unwelcome snow, was falling 

 at a rate that caused us to feel decidedly blue. For it must be 

 remembered that the success of nearly all tournaments, whether 

 State or club affairs, is troatly 'intiiienced by the state of the 

 ■weather on the day preceding the shooting, as it is then that the 

 most of the contestants are compelled to leave iheir homes in 

 order to be on hand for the opening events. West Virginia is 

 scattered over a considerable amount of territory, and at least 

 one-halt of the club delegates would have been compelled to 

 leave home on Wednesday in order to reach Wheeling in time for 

 the fun. The coming of thp snowstorm convinced us that the 

 attendance would be seriously affected. 



Passing Msrtinsburg, Cumberland, Piedmont and Grafton, the 

 snow was still falling, the mountains had taken on a white cover- 

 ing, and the wind blew fiercely through the gorges. When we 

 reached Wheeling, however, the fall had ceased, although there 

 was no promise of an improvement in the weather. The follow- 

 ins morning when we poked our heads out of Sdoora the outlook 

 was bad as ever, the thermometer showing its mercury very low, 

 the clouds being dark and heavy and the wind chilling one to the 



However, we were here and compoUpd to maVe the best of what 

 should come. It was not the day for sight-seeing, so at an early 

 hour wp bnarded an electr'c car, which soon carried us over the 

 Ohio River on to Wheeline Island and within a 'stone's throw of 

 the grounds of the Island City Gun Club, where thp shoot was to 

 take place. Although the weather had given us a chiUmg greet- 

 ing to the city there was nothing chilly about our reception at 

 the club house of the Island City Club, either as regards the tem- 

 perature of the room or the welcome accorded us by the genial 

 sportfmen who were gathered therein. The welcome accorded to 

 FoBEST AND Strbam showed conclusively that South as well as 

 in all other sections it has firmly established itself in the hearts 

 of all true sportsmen as the great and only exponent of all land 

 and water sports and nastimes. „ -d * t ^ 



In the shooting house we found Dr. Mver, R. B Burt, ,1. A. 

 Penn, G. W. Leraon and J. E. Wrieht, the famous "Big Six" of 

 the Island Citv Gun Club who won the great team race at Atlan- 

 tic City in July; R. S. Cowen, of Bellaire, O.: Messrs. Bel! and 

 Smitb.of the local club, and last but not least the ever popular 

 A. G. Conrtnev with hia grent Lefever ejector gun. "Court" had 

 been "doing" Pittsburgh and vicinitv and wss en route to the 

 Sunny South, but concluded to drop off and see the boys at Wheel- 

 ing and have a little shoot. 



Rut where are all the delegates from tlie outside towns^" we 



"Where are they?" said J. A. Penn, "the most of them are .iust 

 where all of us ought to be in such weather— toasting their shins 

 at the family fire. I have letters from a large numiier of clubs 

 promising the attendance of delegates, and had yesrerda^ 's out- 

 Ipok been at pU favorable eacli and every one would have 

 been on hand: but as soon .as the temperature dropped and the 

 storm began we cave up all hopes of a large turnout. Then agam 

 pomw would not be awav from home under any circumsfances on 

 Thanksgiving Day and others are off in the fields aftergame, so 

 that altogether we have The short end." 



The grounds of the Island City Gun Club are situated on the 

 extTPme end of Wheeling Island, which is separated from the 

 rest of the city of Wheeling by the fast rushing Ohio River. Tiie 

 foreground is such as to make the shooting extremely ditflcult. 

 From the rlub house to the water's edee is a wood toward which 

 the targets are thrown, thf* shooting beine done toward the 

 north. To the northwest of the gronnd=, on the opposite side of 

 the river, are several larae iron mills and f'^'undries, from the 

 tall chimneys of which heavy clouds of dense black smoke are 

 constantlv p wing, this mai<ing the foresrou"d still worse. The 

 gcenery from the grounds is vsrv rugued. lofty mountain pe«k8 

 being seen in all directions. On the exf.rpm° top of one "f these 

 peaks, northwest of Wheeling proper, is located a cemetery, 

 which can bp snen from any p >int i" the city. The club his a 

 smBll but comfortable club house, which on this occasion was 

 provided with a roarine fire th^t was aiipredated bv all. 



The shooting was done from 5 expert trans, the Parker three- 

 class handicap being used. Outside the club house it was bit- 

 terly cold and the wtnd wa.-^ strong and cutting. The targets 

 were thrown bard, the trani being at their highest ten«ioD, but 

 nevertheless the wind would cause them to talie erratic flights. 

 In consequence high scores were tb« excpption. Those who were 

 obligfid to shoot under the three-trap exp-irt rule were not able 

 at any time to do anv fair =hooting, the shooting from known 

 traps "at unknown angles being of itself a hard handicap for the 

 dav. 



While the crowd wai small, it was still an extremely jolly one, 

 not even the bad weather having any effect on the spirits of the 

 shooters. Several bottles of spirits fermenii. however, were 

 lowered during the day. There were five evpnts shot off previous 

 to noon, when a recess was tat-en for dinner, the most of the 

 local contpstants soing to th^ir own homes. J. E. Wright and 

 Forest and ?!TaEAM were invited to take dinner with the genial 

 Geirge W. Lemmon, who residps within a half-mile of the 

 grounds, and sonrerentwas the invitation that they could not 

 resist. And the wav Mrs. Lemmon's delicious turkey and con- 

 comitants did suffer at their hands wa'^ a caution. Portly 

 "Court" took dinner with ,Tobn A. Penn, and the labored manupr 

 In which thp Lefever man walked upon his rpturn to the erouuds 

 showed that he, too, had been trying to do justice to his host's 

 treatment. , , ^ 



As soon 88 the dan had he^n mustered the fun recommenced, 

 the pvent of the af 'prroon being the 50 target race for the cham- 

 pionship of West Virginio, ibis being shot at known angle". Ttiis 

 event was also a sweepstake, the entrv fee being S5. The result 

 was a hnrd-eamed vintorv for George W. Lemmon, who was 

 closply pressed bv J. E. Wrieht. Accordinsr to the t^rms of this 

 match the winner holds the chompionship subject to one chal- 

 lenge everv six' v days, whpu be will be obliged to accept or forfeit 

 hia title. Mr. L^mnion is likely to have his hands full, as we were 

 informed in the evening that e^-ery member of the club proposed 

 to chall'^ngp him. As he is onlv rr quired to accept one challenge 

 every sixtv da^s. some one will have to make a long wait. 



It was about i P. M. when the fun was endpd, and soon after the 

 party had left fnr their resp'=(ctiv« domiciles. "Court" and "we" 

 refused an urgent invitation to dine out. and repaired to the Mc- 

 Lure Hotise in Wheeling. After supp<>r a "session" was held at 

 the furniture house of John A. Penn, where a couple nf local 

 newspaper mpn put in the evening in copyng scores and the rest 

 of the party dtscnssed the past, present and future of trap-shoot- 

 ine, while '"'Court" expatiated on the goo<^ qualities of the Lefnver 

 ejector and showed wherein it was "the best" ejector in thn 



It had been announced that the State Association would hold a 

 convention in the evening to elect directors and discuss the game 

 and fish laws, but the meeting was not held, as only the local men 

 would have been at hand. The meeting will be called for some 

 later date this winter, when it is to be hoped that the members of 

 the various West Virginia pportsmen's clubs, as well as individ ual 

 sportsmen, will evince enough interest in the question of game 

 and fish protection to be present. Judging from expressed opin- 

 ions of those met at Martinsburg and Wheeling, there is great 

 need nf legislation, and now that, the Whepling people have 

 showed their earnestness in the matter, they should receive sup- 

 port from the entire State. The next call will be issued for some 

 dav other than a holiday, so there will be no excuse for non- 

 attendance. Due notice of the meeting will be given by Forest 

 AND Stream. ^ , ^

 with the scores of a tournament held by the club in October, 

 these scores never having appeared in print. The shoot was an 

 open one, and in some events there were 18 entries. There were 

 a number of merchandise prizes in several events. The Parker 

 handicap was used. Among those present were Elmer E. Shaner, 

 "Jim Crow" and "Old Hoss," from Pittsburg, and J. E. England, 

 from Alleghany, Pa. The scores follow:

The attendance at the regular monthly shoot of the Atlantic 

 Rod and Gun Club was rather poor on account of Thanksgiving, 

 the majority of the members preferring a hot stove to facing the 

 cold wind at the seashore. Bonden furnished a fine lot of birds,

No MATTBE what time of the year the Union Gun Club chooses 

 for the holding of a tournament the fates seem to conspire against 

 them so far as weather conditions go. It was prettv generally 

 known that the club would hold a tournament on Nov. 83 and 23, 

 and a good number of shooters In various sections had promised 

 to attend. On the morning of the first day, however, the condi- 

 tions were such as to cause a good many to change their minds. 

 The clouds looked very much as though a snowstorm was en route, 

 the B.ir was heavy and damp and a strong wind was blowing' 

 During the early hours there were frequent dashes of snow, and 

 taken altogether the prospects were not encouraging. At noon 

 the aky cleared and the sun appeared, hut by this time the mis- 

 chief was done, and when the shooting began it was with just five 

 entries. The shooting on this day was at Keystone targets from 

 five Keystone traps. The light discs were flitted about in merry 

 stvle bv the frisky wind and the ahool ing was extremelv difficult. 



The club announced that cash prizes would ba paid for first, 

 second and third averages in all programme events, and these 

 were paid despite the lia-ht attendance, thus showing good faith 

 by the manftgement. There were 135 targets in the regular pro- 

 gramme, and of these J. W. Smith broke 117, securing' first aver- 

 age money ($3), Miller got |3for brea.king;il5,Hobart$l for break- 

 ing 114. 



Events No^. 1, 4, 7 and 9 were at 10 tirgets, SI entr 

 8 and 10 at 15 targets, $1.50 entry; No. S at 20 targets, 5

The Second Day 



was announced to be live-bird day. and good attendance was 

 counted upon. But alas, alas and alack-a-day, the good attend- 

 ance resolved its If into the comii g of one roan, and one man 

 onlv. The comer was Harry E. Smith, of the Newark Gnn Club, 

 and he was full of shoot. Hin onlv opponent was E. D. Miller. 

 The two, however, had lots of fun, shooting three matches instead 

 of confining themsplves to the regular programme events. The 

 first match was at 50 live bitds each, the second and the third at 

 25 each. Both men were in fine form, each killing 93 out of the 

 100. The scores:
