PiTTSBmtG, Pa., March 5.— I liave received the entrance money of 

 James O'Hanlon and Jim Crow, of Pittsburg, Pa., to the Interstate 

 Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association grand American handicap, at 

 Uve birds, April 5, 6 and 7, at Dexter Park, L. I.— Elmer E. Shaner.

AYhile live bu'ds can be bought for from twenty-flve cents per pair 

 upward in the West, managers of Eastern trap grounds experience 

 difficulty in getting them at any price. Last week ststy cents per 

 pair was the bottom figure. 



At Erb's, last week, E. D. Fulf ord informed us that he would never 

 enter into another contest with John L. Brewer. Whether or not Mr. 

 Fulf ord wiU allow the latest challenge by Mr. Brewer to influence him 

 or not we ai'e imable to state.

CHICAGO TRAPS. 



THE NEW YORK VISITORS. 



Chicago, 111.. JIarch 4.— Thepersojiaei of the Eastern shooting party 

 this week the guests of Washington Park Club was as follows: Messrs. 



S. Hoey, of the Hollywood Gun Glub. New Jersey; Messrs. E. H. God- 

 shalk and T. S. Dando, of theUiverton Gun Club, Philadelphia; Mr. C. 

 Roosevelt, of the Cercle des Patineurs, Paris, France; also Mi-. Chas. 

 Duggin and Mr. A. M. Beadleston, of New York. Gentlemen of the 

 Wasnington Park Club active in the entertainment of the visitors and 

 also in the shooting were Messrs. G. A. Schwarz, Chas. E. Felton, E. 

 W. Bangs, J. F. Barrell, C. H. Lester, S. B. Raymond, A. J. White, N. 

 Rowe, J. R. Adams, C. L. Hunter, E. S. Hunter, T. C. Edwards, D. S. 

 Babcock, D. M. Oummings, E. S. Worthington, B. V. Jackson. 



The Eastern gentlemen have now all returned to their homes, after 

 nearly a week of hvely days at the trap and a visit which all the 

 Chicago men, at least, unite in caUing one of the pleasantest occasions 

 in the liistory of their organizations. The visit itself had no special 

 significance beyond a social one and, indeed, is the tardy fulfillment 

 of an intention expressed some four years ago by some of the Wash- 

 ington Park men. they wishing to see the representatives of some of 

 the best Eastern amateur cluDs as guests in Chicago. The thought 

 was a happy one and the fuUiliment has been pleasant. It is quite 

 likely that ine next mutual felicitations wfil be exchanged in New 

 YorK^ with the Cnicago men as guests. On that occasion the Eastern 

 men may olfer in competition a loving cup similar to the one that 

 formed the text, or pretext^ of the pleasant controversy over the traps 

 here this week. The cup of the Washington Park Club is a handsome 

 affair, of tall and graceful outline and has a probable value of $300. 

 As stated in last week's brief telegi'aphic jnention, the cup becomes 

 the individual property of the winner and therefore now belongs to 

 Mr. B. V. Jackson, of Chicago. Mr. Jackson's friends had to urge 

 him to go into this contest and he pleaded bodily ailments, especially 

 rheumatism, as excuses for himself in advance. At the gait of 25 

 straight with rheumatism Mr. Jackson should hope to be a good one 

 without rheumatism. Yet the exigencies and vicissitudes of shootuig 

 form were well shown in following sweepstake events, where Mi'. 

 Jackson did patchy work, and in his race with Capt. Money, where 

 Mr. Jackson undeniably went to pieces — though, as he and Captain 

 Monej'' discovered by tests at the close of their match, this latter fact 

 was without doubt largely due to the unsuitabiUty of his ainmunition, 

 which did not work well with his gun. 



THE COP RACE 



The conditions of the cup race were twenty -five birds, modified Hur- 

 lingham rules, 50yds. boundai-y beyond traps, 35yds. dead hue. A $10 

 sweep was made concurrent. Mi'. John S. Hoey, of New York, acted 

 as referee. The birds were good strong ones, furnished by John Wat 

 son. Only five bu'ds stopped at the trap during the whole of Monday's 

 shooting. King automatic traps were used, but the springs of these 

 seemed nardly strong enough to throw the scare baUs in, so that the 

 balls had to be placed du-ectly beyond the trap in order to get up mo- 

 tion when the trap was sprung. This, of course, would roU the ball in 

 on the bird, and so the large number of incomers may beaccoimted for. 

 After the second day the scare balls were not used at all. During all 

 the shooting no Hag ropes were used. Any bird failing to take vying 

 was put up by wooden crotiuet balls Hung at it by the trappers fi-om 

 the score. Even among the strongest birds one wiU occasionally stop 

 at the trap. As many of this sort were lost as any, for when they 

 sprang they went wide and liigh. One of ,the aiTangements for the 

 snooting was that when a contestant had missed four Du-ds he was to 

 fall out temporarily until those stiU in had shot down to a finish or an 

 equal number of niisses. This saved some time in determimug the re- 

 sult. As may be seen by the following scores, twenty-two was not 

 good to win. Ml'. Jackson's score, even though the dull character of 

 the weather kept the birds from doing so sharp flying as a keen wind 

 assures, must be considered a very commendable, as he went in against 

 some of the best pigeon shots of the entire country

TUESDAY AT THE TRAPS. 



The erratic Chicago thermometer took a tumble by itself on Monday 

 night, and Tuesday was clear and very cold. A terrific wind blew 

 from the score across the traps, only partiaUy broken by the buildings 

 of the shooting box. Proba.bly more pigeon shooting does not often 

 come up than was ofi:ered here. Even the best of the good ones fell 

 out, and one miss-and-out of 15 entries was over on the second bird! 

 The Forest and Stream graphic type wiU show a great number of 

 twisters, in many cases in close conjunction with a large, significant 0.

Examination of the scores of the day will show that Mr. Moore, of 

 New York, cai-riedoff the honors of the day. Out of 12 sweeps iH 

 which he started, Mi-. Moore landed among the winners 6 times. Mr. 

 Jackson, of Chicago, was among the winners 4 times out of 9 entries. 

 Mr. Page, of New York, was in the winning hole 4 times out of 12 en- 

 tries, and Capt. Money, of New "iork, 3 times out of the same entry. 

 Mr. Dando, of Philadelphia, won 3 times out of 11 entries, ifr. 

 Schwartz and M. Bangs, both of Chicago, each won twice, and Messrs. 

 Work and Thompson of New York, Mr. Godshalk, of Philadelphia, 

 and Col. Felton, of Chicago, all left the gi-ounds with only one pleasant 

 reminiscence apiece out of their respective efl:orts. although the latter 

 gentleman and Mr. Thompson only shot in 3 events. 



WEDNESDAY'S WORE. 



On Wednesday the weather was warmer and the wind not so high. 

 It was an admirable day for a nice little individual match, at least So 

 thought Mr. George P. Work of New York, .and T. S. Dando of 

 Philadelphia. They agreed to shoot at 200 birds each for the price of 

 the birds- and then something. Both men did elegant work up to the 

 50th bird, though after that the result was never in doubt. Mr. Dando 

 was shooting a gun cast-off for a rightr-handed man, while he is a 

 left-handed shooter. Moreover, either through fault of his gun or his 

 ammunition, he was continually troubled by miss-fires, having no less 

 than 8 miss-fires in his fii-st 45 birds. After his 60th bird Mr. Dando 

 became very, very slow, and was not ready with either first or second, 

 so that one after another his bu ds went over the fine. Any one could 

 have beaten him under the cu-cumstances. On the other hand there 

 are few shooters who could have defeated Mr. Work in the form he 

 was showing, for he cut down his birds with wonderful speed and 

 time. At the 125th bird Mr. Dando gave up the match with 89 to his 

 credit to 107. Score.

At the close of the above match the decks were cleared for Captain 

 Money, of New York, and Mr. B. V. Jackson, of Chicago, wmner of 

 the cup. The tall Englishman won under a heavy pull. I do not think 

 any of our Western shooters have any bustaess with Capt. Bloney, 

 who somehow impresses one that he could beat almost any one he 

 liked, so easy and perfect is his style. He is the swiftest fii-st barrel 

 man I ever saw, snapping his birds not with the stiff, awkward and 

 unspeakably execrable gun-at-the-shoulder position, for which our 

 American Association rules are responsible, but with the easy and 

 graceful carriage of a field shot of perfect form. Capt. Money bal- 

 ances his gun lightly and appm-ently unsteadily as ho caUs "pulV' but 

 his delivery is instantaneous and accurate, and his position through- 

 out erect and gracef td— a vei-y good pattern Indeed for a young man 

 wisliing to become an accomplished master of the shotgun. I consider 

 Capt. Money the finest one-barrel snap shot I ever saw, though per- 

 haps his second barrel work does not surpass that of some of our duck 

 shooters who understand the lead. 



Yet I saw Capt. Money in one case shoot too far ahead on a fast low 

 bird that was quartering in the deep field— the only time I could ever 

 say I had seen such a bird missed by too much lead. Mr. Jackson 

 had a hard competitor, indeed, but he was game to the end, though 

 bird after bird of his fell dead out of bounds. Perhaps no score was 

 ever shot with so many dead-outs in it. Only three of Mr, Jacteon's 

 birds got away apparentlj^ unhit, though some feU too far for a star. 

 Mr. Jackson's load would not drive the shot thi'ough a tin box lid at 

 the distance of the traps, as he found by experiment later. The match 

 was at 50 birds, for the birds— and a Uttle something. The score:

On Thursday, Capt. Money had another victoi-y and an easy one. 

 Col. C. E. Felton entered the Usts with him for a 100 bird contest, but 

 caUed for the decision at the 50 birds post. At the 50, Capt. Money, 

 very much unruflied indeed, had scored 43 to Col. Feltou's 85. Mr. J. 

 SeaverPage. of New York, also defeated his Chicago competitor. 

 These races lack of time prevented my seeing. The thanks of Forest 

 AND Stream are due the Washington Park Club for the unusual 

 privilege of attending the meetings above reported. 



It seems an easy conclusion that such men as Capt. Money, Mr. 

 Fred Hoey and Mr. Page can defeat our best Chicago men, and would 

 make warm company for the best professionals. 



Washington Park gi-ounds are admirable. The shooting box is 

 located in the center of the mile track. The grounds, raised a foot 

 with cinders on the trapping ground, are flat and well cared for, with 

 no obstructions to break the force of the wind, and with the even and 

 pleasant background of the amphitheater and the surroimding build- 

 ings. In perspective World's Fan- buUdings. So pleasant a meeting 

 of sfiortsmen had a suitable setting and a pleasing frame. 



INTERNATIONAL SHOOT NOT FORJIED. 



At the club banquet Monday evening no decisive action was taken in 

 the matter of an international amateur championship shoot, to be 

 held World's Fan- time. That matter, I understand, was in the hands 

 of a committee of Washington Park men. The opinion seemed gen- 

 eral that the matter could not be arranged in time for summer. It is 

 a matter of regret that we cannot announce this interesting tourna- 

 ment as concluded upon and reasonably certain. Every worthy 

 sporting event of this Idnd, if brought off successfully, is a credit to 

 Chicago and to the high grade of sportsmanship exacted of Chicago 

 and the Fan-. The more the better, open or amateur, and the better 

 and more typicaUy representative they are the better for that still 

 higher grade of American sportsmanship to which the shooting inter- 

 ests of the country are legitimately and steadily temUng.
