CHICAGO TRAPS. 



[By a Staff Cor respondent. 'i 



Chioaoo, UI., May 6.— Mr. W. A. Alderson and his friend, Mr. Knight, 

 both of Kansas City, were in Montgomery Ward & Co.'s when I hap- 

 pened to call there last Wednesday. Mr. Anderson was prominently 

 identified with field trial matters in the West a few years ago. En pas- 

 sant, it is a pleasure to mention that he still owns good dogs and in- 

 tends breeding more. But his anecdote about some trap shooting is 

 what will be most interesting to the reader. It Avas something after 

 this fashion. A man who lived near Wichita, Kans., kept about ^00 

 carrier pigeons. They became very ofEensive to his neighbors. At 

 last he determined to get rid of them. It so happened that a St. Louis 

 gun club, which shall be nameless, became their purciiaser. The 

 pigeons were intended to meet sudden death from the deadly aim of 

 the club members at the traps. In a few days about 150 of the pigeons 

 returned to the original owner. Thus is a new field opened for the use 

 of carrier pigeons, if they can be sold an indefinite number of times to 

 the same club to shoot at. , ^. ^ , 



The following is an interesting account of heavy shootmg taken 

 from the Pailij Evening Post (Pekin, 111.): "Among the strangers 

 attending the shooting tournament in this city is a man named Ed- 

 wards, weighing 2911bs., and one Courtney, who tips the beam at 378. 

 They are a ioUy pan- and afforded a great deal of amusement for 

 th"se present at the shoot yesterday. They took part in nearly every 

 shoot and after the programme a great many special shoots were 

 held ' Near the close of the afternoon one of the gentlemen suggested 

 getting up a heavy-weight team, as there were several large men 

 present. No sooner was the matter spoken of when the team was 

 made "p, six men being entered. Their combined weight was 1 ,5581bs. , 

 distributed as follows: Edwards 291, White, the ex-saloonkeeper, 395, 

 Courtnev 278, Hindert 378, Sheriff Friederich 255, J. B. Irwin 313. The 

 men selected their guns and stripping off their coats stepped forward 

 to the mark. Edwards shot first and broke his bird. Then came 

 White, who has done very little shooting. He leveled his gun for the 

 bird, gave the signal and the trap was sprung, but the gun failed to 

 explode, behaving pulled the wrong trigger. He was given another 

 trial and when the trap was sprung fired away with both eyes shut, 

 several feet below the bird. Each contestant was given 10 birds, and 

 at nearly eveiT shot some amusing incident would occur that would 

 call forth a loud cheer, and during this event the people enjoyed 

 themselves more than they had during the entii-e day. Ii-win has also 

 done very little shooting with a shotgun and never before over traps, 

 but he handled the gun in very good style. For some cause or other 

 he did not succeed in covering the birds and was making as clean a 

 score as White up to the ninth shot, when he hit the bu-d square in the 

 center, breaking it into a hundred pieces. For this work he was 

 greeted with tremendous applause. At the close of the contest the 

 score stood as follows: Edwards 7, White 0, Hindert 5, Courtney 10, 

 Friederich 5, Irwin 1." 



The Los Angeles Wing-Shooting Club elected the following list of 

 officers: President, E. B. White; Sec.-Treas., J. B. Winston; Direc- 

 tors. E. Unger, E. B. Tufts and Dr. W. R. Bird. The club held its first 

 shoot this season AprU23. The scores were small. 



The programme of the Jack Rabbit Tournament of the JanesviUe 

 Shooting Club is now ready for distribution, and can be obtained of 

 the secretary, H. H. McKinney, JanesviUe, Wis. The tournament will 

 be held on May 30 and 31 . * 



THE PBOGBAMME OF THE ILI.ISDIS STATE SPOaTSMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



The programme of the nineteenth annual tournament of the Illinois 

 State Sportsmen's Association is arranged with many novel and im- 

 proving features. It is concisely written and shows original thought. 

 It shows also that shooting matters are developing, and that the Asso- 

 ciation is up to that development. It keeps up tbe old tradition that 

 Chicago shooting- is a contest of skill. It breaks up the mechanical 

 features of the snooting, and while it makes the shooting hard it gives 

 the amateur a chance in it. Useless old ideas are discarded 



The merchandise prizes are no part of it. The Association is a dig- 

 difled, self-supporting organization. Trai)-shooting has long since out- 

 grown the evolutionary stage where charitable gifts are necessary to 

 give it life. 



The absurd walk-around, rapid-fire system has no encouragement in 

 this programme. With known traps and known angles, it made clean 

 scores a certainty to those who could get suflcient practice to acquire 

 the mechanical skill which that style of shooting admits. 



Dropping for place is energetically discountenanced and penalized. 

 The management reserves the right to bar objectionable entries. Each 

 shoot is so arraug-ed that there is no cinch for the rounders. There is 

 one jack rabbit shoot for the experimenters. In short, the manage- 

 ment has thrown every possible safeguard around the competition, 

 which will bring it within the realm of true sport. 



The nineteenth annual convention will be held at the Sherman 

 House, at 8 P. M., June 5. Beginning on that day, the tournament 

 wiU be held at Watson's Park, Burnside. The World's Fair shoot 

 will begin at the close of the State tournament. The events are as 

 follows: 



First contest, Board of Trade diamond badge, value S500, and $100, K75 

 and f 50. 



Second contest, L. C. Smith cup, value $500, and $50 and S135. 



Third contt»st, the Club Team Championship, open to teams of four 

 men from any club a member of the State Association; ten live birds; 

 entrance, price of birds only. First prize, sterling silver cup, value 

 .filOO; second prize, cash STS: third prize, cash S60; fourth prize, cash 

 $50; special prize, four opera glasses, one to each member of the 

 winning team. 



world's fair, shoot, sweepstakes tournament, open to ALL. 



Under the auspices of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association. 



(The management reserves the right to bar objectionable entries, 

 but np reputable man of any rank or any nationality will be barred.) 



Rules. — All live bird contests ia the following programme will be 

 shot under the new Illinois State Rules. 



Dropping for Place. — ^Any shooter found dropping for place in any 

 event shall be debarred from all furthex interest in that event in case 

 of the first offense. Upon detection a second time in a similar offense, 

 he shall be ruled off the grounds.

 at 30 bluerocks, $5, four moneys, everything known, walk around.

THE DOUGLAS GUN CLUB. 



The Douglas aun Club of Chicago, held its first shoot this season on 

 Wednesday, May 8. The principal event was the shoot for the club 

 medal, or medals, there being three of them, first, second and third, 

 one eaohfor the three members mailing respectively the tenbestscores 

 of the season. 



The afternoon was most unfavorable for good work with the gun. 

 The weather was raw and damp. A solid mass of black clouds ob- 

 scured the sky, and a light fog added to the badness of the light. A 

 spark ignited the roof of the club house, which was of inflammable 

 material. Fortunately the fire appeared on the inside of the roof 

 through a crack and thus was discovered before it had a chance to 

 spread. It was quicldy extinguished. 



The club held a meeting after the shoot was ended. Mr. C. Lansdon 

 was elected captain in place of Mr. J. Morton, who resigned. Mr. B. 

 AVaters was elected an honorary member. The next shoot takes 



place Saturday, May 13, alternately on Wednesday and Saturday 

 Tue elub is an active one and the weekly shoots areVell attended.

lowship and the presence of a large number of members at each 

 shoot. 



Messrs. F. E. Adams and R. S. Mott were elected to membership at 

 a meeting held toward the close of the shoot. 



The weather was clear, though the shooting was made a bit diffi- 

 cult by the wind, which was strong enough to make the targets fly 

 irregularly at times. Known traps and unknown angles were the 

 conditions in each shoot, except double birds.

The Tournament at Independence. 



Independence, la.. May 3. — The toiirnament of the Independence 

 Gun Club, held in this city May 2 and 3, was not very well attended, 

 owing to the rainy weather. Rain has fallen in this locality twelve out 

 of the last f oiu-teen days, and the roads are almost impassable. What 

 shooters were in attendance had a first-class time and went home well 

 pleased. Among those in attendance were C. M. Grim, Clear Lake; G. 

 E. Hughes and Kid Chingren, of Fonda; Frazier. of Lost Island; Van 

 Shaff and Staghey, of Waverly; McBride. of Victor; McGoogle, ot St. 

 Paul, Minn., and Budd, of Des Moines. The targets were thi-own about 

 60yds., and the shooting was very difiicult and but few straight" scores 

 were made.
