Trap-Shooting Association to the publio. The shoot, despite the un- 

 favorable weather and the comparatively light attendance, was a suc- 

 cessful one throughout, and the innovations of stj'le and money 

 awards were grateful to those who have had a satiety of the rapid- 

 finng system and the 50. 30 and 20^ divisions. Jack Parker, assisted by 

 club members previously named, kept everything running smoothly, 

 and no murmurs of discontent were heard. It is certain that the 

 Association has made a safe departure from old customs, and that its 

 future success is assured. 



After the surplus shoot was finished on the above day the party ad- 

 journed for supper, after which a "social session" was held in .Jack 

 Parker's room, those who took part being Messrs. Lemcke, Parker. 

 Lamotte, Rocker, Reideman, Westcott, Jaugstetter, ;Monahan and 

 FoRicsT AND Stream. The evening passed pleasantly with chat on 

 trap-shooting matters, etc. The most interesting portions of the dis- 

 coursing, however, were stories of hunting and adventure on and 

 around the Savannah River, told by Mr. Westcott, whose fund of 

 anecdote would fill a large volume Mr. Westcott is a professional 

 hunter, and lias had manj- a thrilling adventure, not only in the legiti- 

 mate hunting but in the hue of hand-to-hand encoiiutera with outlaws 

 as well. Other members of the party also gave recitals of adventures 

 in the days when the negroes were considered legitimate game for 

 those who chose to hunt them. The Savannians are not given to 

 keeping extremely late hours, and conseciuently the party had dis- 

 persed and those who were stopping in the hotel were in bed and 

 asleep by midnight.

The day following the close of the tournament we were obliged to 

 spend in the town, our ship not sailing until Friday. After a stroll 

 about the town, a call on some northern friends and a look at some of 

 the line squares with which the city abounds, we started with Harry 

 Lemcke to visit the "Thunderbolt," Savannah's Coney Island, a 

 famous amusement resort situated on the Thunderbolt River. On the 

 previous day Mr. Lemcke had sent word to the proprietor of the 

 Tivoli to catch a couple of hundred laigeons and had arranged for 

 quite an attendance. Messrs. Monahan, Parker, Jangstettei-, and a 

 number of others were on hand at the appointed hour, but tUe pigeons 

 were not, the jiroprietor of the Tivoli pleading pressure of business as 

 his excuse for not having the birds ready. The majority! of the 

 shooters soothed theu- wotmded feelings by witnessing a match be- 

 tween the Baltimore and Savannah baseball clubs (11 to 1 in favor of 

 Baltimore). 



Mr. Lemcke and "we" spent an hour strolling about, admiring the 

 weird beauty of the famous Bonaventure cemetery, a place known to 

 tourists the world over. The giant-like oaks, covered with Spanish 

 moss forming arches here and there, great beds of bridal-wreath, ja- 

 pouicas and other choice flowers all came in for tlieir share of ad- 

 miration, and we secured several "snap shots" of fine views. After- 

 ward we dropped in to see the finish of the ball game, by vv hich time 

 we were ready for dinner, at which we had the pleasure of Mr. 

 Lemcke's company. After dinner there was a short stroll about town, 

 a brief "session" in the smoking room, then farewells were said and 

 we retired to recuperate in order to eat a 5 o'clock breakfast and get 

 on board the City of Augusta before six the next morning. 



We made our connections in good shape and a few minutes after six 

 were steaming down the river, passing old Fort Pulaski, Tybee Light 

 and other landmarks and getting on the open ocean about 7:30. The 

 trip up was fully as xJleasant as the Southern one, a slight blow on 

 Saturday evening being welcomed as a vai-iety. The vessel made fast 

 to her dock at 12:15 P. M. on Sunday, the time from Savannah being 

 about 54 hours. Thus ended a pleasant outing and one which we hope 

 has effectually cured us of the evil effects of malaria and put us once 

 more "in the ring," C. H. Totnsknd.

CHICAGO TRAPS. 



IBy a Staff Correspondent.] 



niNGHAM— KLEINMAN. 



Chicago, 111., April 1.— Some time ago Br'er George Kleinman came 

 and stood up in the middle of a crowd and said, deliberate, that he 

 allowed he could kill more birds in a hundred than any one then resi- 

 dent m the city of Chicago. This he said out loud, and sort of look«3d 

 hard at Eddie Bingham, who was standing next to hhn. Eddie Bing- 

 bam allowed from this that he was persona non grata to Mr. Klein- 

 man, so he got red in the face and trod on Mr. lOeinman's coat, They 

 agreed on the conventional terms for 100 of John Watson's depraved 

 pigeons, and after long delay at length met to-day, each believing or 

 hoping, that he had an awtul good joke on the other fellow. It was a 

 race fraught with the most intense' interest. George had reputation 

 at stake, but Eddie had far more. At Montgomery Ward & Co. 's where 

 he labors, there are .300 lady stenographers, each of whom sends Ed- 

 die a nice letter every morning, and as the date for the race drew 

 near, each of the 300 informed Eddie that he must win or cease to cor- 

 respond. Mr. Holt, chief of the gun department, served notice on 

 Eddie that if he lost the race he lost his job. "You can come up in 

 the freight elevator after yow clothes if you lose," said Mr. Holt, 

 "but after that our relations are at an end." Thus it was that the 

 paleness of a desperate resolution sat on Mr. Bingham's brow as he 

 leaned against the fence and looked dismally over the ground where 

 was to be decided an event which meant for him success and joy. or a 

 future spent in hopeless search for some one to commit suiciile on 

 him. Under these circumstances, although one can not pick a favor- 

 ite from two such good men, it was with a feehng of reUef that, at the 

 last shot, the strain of public sympathy for Mr, Bingham in his trying 

 situation was relaxed. Faces which had been pale resumed their nor- 

 mal color, all but John KJeinman's. John was backing George. 



George Kleinman thus met the second adversars^ who has ever made 

 him lower his coloi-s here. For his defeat he made no apologies, but 

 was as unruffled,.appai eut,ly. as he had been all through the match. 

 If George would take a. .stove hd and hammer a little more choke into 

 the left barrel of his gun, he would help matters. His left barrel was 

 not performing so well as the right. I understand George has lost the 

 stove lid which he used to fix the choke on his prize machine gun, but 

 this did not deter him from challenging the victor of to-day for an- 

 other match of the same sort, and offering to wager S50 that he would 

 lieat his score of to-day— which latter wager he 'would probably win 

 easily, be.sides makinj^' things very iutere.sting indeed in the vicinity of 

 the mam wager. 



it was a pretty race to-day. indeed,- the most Interesting that has 

 been shot at Watson's for a long time. The day was lovely, the wind 

 was just strong enough to keep the birds right, and the birds them- 

 selves ware so wicked that some of th,em were absolutely unfit for 

 publication. Such birds call tor expurgation and are indicated by a 

 • or sometimes an 0. The birds had away the best of it, and for a 

 long time it looked as though both men together weren't gouig to kill 

 enough for a mess for supper. Some of the slate-colored birds were 

 .so hot they scorched the paint on John Watson's fence as they flew 

 over it, and every one muisc aUow that that is pretty hot. All the ex- 

 perts agreed that a better lot of birds was rarely seen in any country. 

 Only two were flagged, at each of which a deep crimson blush of 

 shame appeared like a sunset behind John Watson's whiskers. 



At the 20 hole George led Eddie 3 birds, but at 40 the score was a tie, 

 and everybody saw^ that it was a pigeon match. Then Eddie got a 

 lead of 1, but let go of it promptly, and then they had it give and take 

 to the 60 hole, where Eddie was 2 ahead. They exchanged courtesies 

 some more, and at the 80 hole Eddie was only one ahead. His very 

 next bird he missed and the score was a tie. "At 86 he missed again, 

 and George was 1 ahead. George lost his 90th bird, and the men were 

 a tie with only 10 to go. Both were getting hard birds, and it was a 

 close finish. Bingham ran his last 14 straight, doing in this some 

 magnificent shooting. From 91 to 97 he drew 6 birds, as fast birds as 

 ever flew, every one a right-quarterer for the deep field with the wind 

 under it, and he cut down all six with the second barrel at seemmgly 

 impossible range, probably over 60yds. in two or three cases. At every 

 shot of this run he met applause, which was highly deserved, for he 

 was sustaining a gait winch would have taxed the best shot m the 

 country. 



Against this winning spurt George could not stand, although he had 

 good luck in gathering one or two of his birds, and the score closed 

 with Eddie two birds in the lead, George letting his last bird go with- 

 out crowding it ver3' hard. The whole was a very pretty aflau-. The 

 birds flew all sorts of ways, but the flight that cut the scores down 

 was that of the bii-ds which started for the left, caught the wind and 

 twisted over, going to the right quarter with the fuU force of the wind 

 behind them. If ever a bird got around the corner of that high twist, 

 he was well nigh safe to go over the line, no matter how he was shot.

THE VISITORS. 



It was quite a shooting crowd to-day, take it all around. Among 

 those on hand were Miss Annie Oaldey and her manager, Mr. Frank 

 Butler (whom many American shooters know to be also her husband). 

 Miss Oakley has a season engagement with Buffalo Bifl's Wild West 

 show, and will be in Chicago all summer. She impressed the Chicago 

 shooters as being a dehghtfully pleasant Uttle woman, and they will 

 welcome her very gladly when she cares to come out and shoot with 

 them. Trying a new gun for the sweeps wiiich foUowed the matcli 

 above, Miss Oaldey missed 3 out of 6 practice birds. "They're too 

 swift for me," said she, laughing, though in the sweeps foUowing she 

 showed they were not all so swift. 



Miss Oakley says that trick and exhibition shooting spoil her live 

 bird shooting and also her shooting on game. Of this latter sport she 

 is very fond. She says that when she was a ^irl, from 10 to 13 years of 

 age, she made all her own pin money by killing quail for the market. 

 She always liked to shoot, and at 8 years of age used to follow her 

 brother out into the woods. Her first flying shot was at her brother's 

 Sunday hat, which she ruined for him in spite of the fact that he had 

 overloaded the gun purposely so that it would kick her. He was try- 

 ing to break her of her shooting mania, but this he coidd not do, 

 though this time the gun kicked her severely cutting open her face 

 and shoulder. From that time on she was allowed to have her own 

 way about going shooting. 



Mr. Butler says that AVatson's Park is as fine pigeon ground as he 

 ever saw in any country, the fight and background being perfect, and 

 the location such that the wmd has full chance to make the birds 

 harder. He also said that no such birds as those shot to-day are to 

 be had anywhere in the East, except on the grounds of the Carteret 

 and Westminster clubs of New York, 



Mr. C. E. H. Bi'elsford, late of Harrisburg, Pa., is now a citizen of 

 Chicago and is engaged in business here. lie has been here three 

 days and has already applied for membership in the Chicago Shooting 

 Club and the Eureka Club. He was present at Watson's I'ark to-day 

 and took part in the sliooting. 



Mr. John F. Cowan, champion of Montauk, was another visitor to- 

 day, and took a lively interest in certain pigeons, as did also Mr. C. 

 W. Tuttle, of Albany, N. Y. Uv. W. W. Holmes, an Eastern shooter, 

 who will represent the Waterlmry A\"atoli Co. at the World's Fair, 

 made his first appeiiraiice at A\"at on's am)jhitheatre this afternoon. 

 Mr. Holmes thought a J. Watson pigeon was not much like a Water- 

 bury watch, because the pigeon was alway.s ^vound up.. At least he 

 might have thought this, I should think. A good attendance of Chi- 

 cago shooters kept the traps warm tUl evening. All in all, it was a 

 very pleasant day. E. Houqh.

Some Pertinent Queries. 



Lapsing, Mich., Ma-vchZB.— Editor Forest and Stream: In Fore-st 

 AND Stream of March 10 I read a communication from Mr. John L. 

 Brewer which created in my mind no little degree of astonishment, as 

 it has no doubt created in every trap-shooter's mind who has read the 

 article. Is it possible that Mr. E, D, Fulford, in open violation of the 

 rules under which he shot w^ith Messrs. Elliott, Work, Thompson and 

 Smith, used IJ^oz. of shot? 



Again in the same article Brewer intimates— indeed, more than inti- 

 mates — ^that the five matches that were shot between him and Mr, 

 Fulford about a year ago were hippodromes, and that there w^as no 

 money put up between him and Mr, Fulford. I am sure that this is 

 the &Bt intimation that liad ever been published in your paper that 



those matches were not honestl,y shot and upon the honest wagers as 

 announced thi'ough the press at that time, 



I am sure I do not know the temper of sportsmen outside of the 

 State of Michigan, but trust I do know something of the temper and 

 make-up of the sportsmen of the State of Michigan. They are gentle- 

 men; and while we don't shoot big matches at "one hundred first-class 

 pigeons" and five or ten thousand doUai-s a side, we do, in our qifiet 

 way, break a few artificial tai-gets, and we also read wjth intei-est the 

 results of these great matches by these great men. But now^ that there 

 has been somewhat of a faUing out between the greats, we are told 

 bj; the greatest of them aU that these shoots have all been frauds, 

 with no wagers behind them as between the parties, and simply for 

 the purpose of gulfing those who are interested to such an extent as 

 to attend the shoots, and those w^ho were not, to rush to the news 

 stands for the sportsmen's journals. That it is aU a fraud and hum- 

 bug, I must say, Mr, Editor, that the reputation your paper has

 Association: The members of the gun clubs of this city take this' 

 means of publicly thanking you for the honor you conferred upon 

 us, and our city, in conceding to us the privelege of holding the initial 

 shoot of your series. 



The management of the shoot., under the able supervision of BIr.

 wrangle occurred to mar the pleasure of the participants. 



The programme was the best arranged of any we have ever seen, 

 and the fact of having such a variety of shooting, as well as the 

 equitable handicap and divisions of money, met with the unquaUfled 

 approval of every contestant. f Signed,)
