Jacksonville Gun Club team won first and the trophy ^vlth 3a ; South 

 Chicago, second, 37; Geneseo Sporting Association third, 3h; Audubon 

 Club, of Chicago fourth, 3.5. There were no ties. 



Douglas Gun Club shot its first 3 mexi down and had 30 straight, ap- 

 parenflv a certainty to win. Their fourth man, BIi-. Church, went to 

 pieces, getting only two out of his 10. This score of 3 was tied by Mr 

 Robbins, of the Prahie Gun Club, winner of the Smith cup, Jet 

 another man. Mi-. Koehler, of the Lake Co. Club, went out with 3. The 

 Chicago June birds are not necessarily a cinch. 



THK WORLn'S FAIR SHOOT. 



At the close of the above State contest, the announcement was at 

 once made that the shooting was now open to the world, and the 

 World's Fair tournament began in its hve bird features. The entry for 

 the first open sweep, 20 birds, .^30, rapidly ran up to the neighborhood 

 of 30. As it was now nearly 4 P. M., this event runs over into the tol- 

 lowing day. The entry includes most of the cracks of the We.st, and 

 the win wfil be a valuable and worthy one. ^ , 



The different events were well filled, each averagmg about 50 con-

Thursday, Fourth Day, June 8. 



Weather still admirable, with a good breeze in the afternoon. 

 Shooting continued in the great 20-bird sweep, the live bird event of 

 the World's Fau- open shoot, which attained an entry of 39. This event 

 was rather full of surprises. Only one man went straight, J. A. Ruble, 

 shooting under one of his aliases as "White." At the 15 hole Ruble 

 went to Jack Parker, who was straight at 15, and made a whispered 

 side arrangement with him that if either continued on out with 20 

 straight he was to give the other $50. He also whispered to Elliott, 

 who was straight at 15, but it is not known that he made an arrange- 

 ment. Both Parker and ElUott feU out during their last 5. Ruble 

 paid Jack Parker S50, which still left him a big winner out of the fli'st 

 money, $234, unless Mr. Elliott had a mechanic's hen on another §50 or 

 so. In this event the shooters from outside the State rebelled on the 

 lUinois rules clause which demands that the gun be below the shoulder 

 until the caU of "PuU," To gain entries the clause was waived, and 

 the shooters made it go as you please. This clause is really a good 

 one. Nothing can be more awkward or unsportsmanlike than the 

 popular position, with gun glaed to the shoulder, which the money- 

 making system of taking no chances has brought into vogue. The

 shall, Minard and Rubo drew their pro rata, S3.53. In the ties on 5 

 Solomon and Pumphrey drew pro rata, $4.75. Others remaining in 

 these two ties will shoot out to-morrow morning. 



In all the live bird shooting, both in the State events and m the 

 World's Fair shoot, Mr. John Watson was and will be referee. If 

 there is a bettor referee on earth, or one more widely respected, we 

 out here don't know where he is, If the ti-ap-sbooters of this country 

 would let this rugged ScotcJirnoii frame their conditions tor them, 

 they would have to shoot in o, dead game, fair and sportsmanhke 

 manner, and have to sho(>t to a linish oftener than now.

Friday, Fifth Day, June 9. 



A keen wind made the sport at the live bu-d traps more eventful 

 than it was on the evening before. The first attention w^as given to 

 the undecided ties in the 7 birds event of the day previous. At the 

 end of the tbird birds in the tie on 6, only Budd, Bennett and Abe 

 ICeiuman were left in and they divided purse. In the 5 tie only Mr. 

 Barto, Mr. Heikes and Capt. Du Bray were on hand to shoot. Mr. 

 Barto missed his first bird, and Rolla Heikes let his second go. Capt. 

 Du Bray killed his 3 tie birds straight, and won alone. This was one 

 of the few ties shot down to a single finisher.

Winner L. C. Smith Cup, 1893. 



Another rattling live bird event now began, second only to the big 

 $20 sweep. The call for shooters in a $10 sweep brought out an entry 

 of forty two, a very notable one in its personnel as well as in its size.

It W'as 0:30 in the evening when this event was finished. It closed 

 the live bird programme offered in the World's Fair shoot. Further 

 sweeps were caUed for to-morrow, but it can not be told until then 

 whether or not shooting will be continued next week. 



A strong wind, blowing in directly from in front of the traps, gave 

 the bluerocks an irregular, erratic flight. The contests at inanimate 

 targets to-day were the last of this week. Mr. F. E. CoppernoU ref- 

 ereed aU the events on inanimate targets. He was alert, prompt and 

 painstaking. He gave praiseworthy service and satisfaction in the 

 exacting duties of his position.

Shooting suspended at 5:30 with the understanding that it would ne 



resumed by most of those present on the following Monday. On Mon- 

 day there will be a gi-and sweep, open to the world, 25 hve bTds, $35. 

 Nearly aU those on'hand to-day declared for this event. There wiU 

 also be an open sweep at targets, 100 bluerocks, $10 entrance, unknown 

 traps, known angles. This last should also prove a very interestmg 



Shooting may possibly continue later than Monday, and perhaps 

 we shaU have enough of it in all to make the boys beheve they have 

 been to a tournament of more than ordinary merit and attractiveness, 

 whether or not it be fit to term a World's Fair shoot. 



They Easily Could Have Said It. 



Col Felton— By long experimentation I have found that pink cot- 

 ton in the ear is the best, and most conducive to accuracy in shooting. 

 A combination of pmk and blue cotton, one color m each ear, is also 

 valuable. Pink cotton should never be worn except m the right ear. 

 You may consider this as autlioritative. , ^ ^ ^.-^ 



Mr. &. 8. Armstrong, of Kimberly, South Africa,— We shoot at tcie 

 trap a little in South Africa, and I am going to take home a set of 

 your King automatic traps. I have lived 30 years in Africa, and was 

 born in Australia. This is my first visit to America. It is more 

 thickly settled than I thought, and a gi-and country. At Kimberly we 

 have to go 800 mUes to get at big game, such as lions and elephants, 

 but we have plenty of springbolcs and such smaU game. Even m our 

 country we have reahzed the necessity of game protection, and now 

 no one is allowed to shoot except during three months in the year, 

 even upon his own land. , , j. 



Ham/ ffreener, of Engla7id— You may fancy I was pleased to see 

 that the last two men in the tie for your diamond trophy both shot 



Annie Oakleij, of Buffalo BilVs Wild West— I don't see why they 

 have scare-ropes here. „ -nr • 



Paul North, of the Cleveland Target Co.— I was over on thePlaisance 

 last night, to see the Egyptian dancers. Never was so shocked m my 

 Ufe, and I'll never go there any more. , 



Billy Ifiissei/— Talking about the financial flurry and the run on the 

 banks', I dont see where there is any kick coming. Isn't everybody 

 getting a run for his money? 



Frank Parmelee— You'W see the Smith Co. cup won next year by the 

 s-same man— w-w-when the r-r-robins n-nest agm. 



H. B. Organ— WhaX I Uke to see is a man shooting soft coal m a 10- 

 gauge withotit using any smoke-consvimer. 



Fred Ackerman, of Nebraska— I will recommend the 10-gauges to 

 the rain-makers now n'arring the clouds out our way. 



N W. Holt, President of the Michigan League— Somebody shoved 

 my safety up on me and I lost a bird. Was that my fault? I won't 

 shoot another shot on these grounds unless I get that bird over. 

 What, you won't give it to me? Then I guess I'U stay. 



Jimmy O'Srien—l never said the Infanta Ettlalla was a mere child. 

 Half the blame lies they tell about the Frenchmen are not true Say. 

 do you want to borrow a dog, I have got another one to lend you and 

 Roll Organ. , ^ , 



John Watson.— I could make twice as much money on targets by 

 running the old rapid-fire system, known angles, but I won't do it. 

 Making money isn't everything. 



Ike Watson.— We fixed you newspaper men up better this year, but 

 it don't seem natural not to hear you kick. 



Polla Heikes.— Yes, I am tanned up a Uttle. Some of it is from 

 going fishing, but most of it comes from just sawin' wood. 



Dr. L. Shepard, Seer etai-y.— This Oriental robe you see me wearuag 

 is really only a smoking jacket, but don't give it away. If any Turks 

 blow in introduce me as Shep Pasha till I get their mone.y. 



Dr. Britton. of Indianapolis.— I allow that IndianapoUs is only a 

 suburb of Chicago and I never shaU miss this yearly shoot— not on 

 my new yeUow shoes, I won't. 



Merrill Funk—1 am what I call a good all-around shot. I shoot all 

 around a bird and can't hit it. 



Dr. Moore, of Indianapolis— 1 find that although these pigeons are 

 bigger than sparrows, they are harder to kiU. 



Tom Marshall— 1 am old enough to know better than to go to a 

 shoot. 



Plumber Bead, of Omaha— 1 am $60 ahead on targets to-day, and I 

 think I shall shade prices on lead pipe a little when I get back home. 



Fli Young, of Hutchinson, Kas.—l brought just so much money 

 with me, and when that is gone I am going. If I lay up money shoot- 

 ing I shall stay at the Fair that much longer. 



Charlie Budd. of Des Moines, /a,— Say, which way is that place they 

 call the Midnight Plaisance? Why don't you move your old World's 

 Fair shoot over there? ^, , 



Mr. B. V. Jackson, of the Washington Park CZ-u6— Sometimes I 

 make a straight when it is useful. One more bird in the $80 sweep 

 would have been very useful, but everything goes. 



0 H. Portpr, of the Gun Club, Chicago— 1 am the Poo Bah of the 

 Gun Club. I paid the dues of the whole club in order to get to enter in 

 the badge shoot. Consequently there was a discourtesy to my whole 

 club in shooting me out of the badge as harshly as they did, They 

 forgot that I was the cook and the captain bold, and the mate of the 

 Nancy brig, and the bo'sun tight, and the midshipmite, and the crew 

 of tho captain's gig. Le Gun Club, c'est moi' 



F. F. Bra mhaU, of Lowell, Mis.s.— This is my first visit AVest, and 

 I am interested in watching your shooting, though my main purpose 

 here is to visit the Fair. You know we can't shoot live birds down in 

 our State. I don't see that it is so much more cruel than cutting off 

 their heads. 



Jack Parker, of Detroit— Kovf can I pitch the American Manufac- 

 turers' tent when the ground is leaking the way it does? I went to 

 drive a tent pin this morning, and it sunk and I never found it again. 



Charlie Grim, of Clear La.ke, Iowa— Yon missed it. not coming out 

 to our Iowa State shoot. We have taller corn, better pigeons and 

 bigger croppies at Clear Lake than anywhere on earth. 



J. M. Hershey, of Osaqe City, Kas.—THie Sunflower State is in the pro- 

 cession toward the Fair, and I am glad I can see the Fair and the 

 shoot at the same time. 



Copf. A. W. Du, Bray, of Parelcrville— In the old times it used to be 

 a question of getting a skillful friend to gather your crippled birds. 

 Nowadays there are few cripples, and you can hardly gather the 

 pieces of a bird when it has been hit. A Parker gun renders a pigeon 

 unfit for the market, at any distance between here and the fence. Now, 

 you know. 



S. T. Stine, of Seattle, Wash.— I know all your shooters by reading 

 about them, and I have seen a few of them out on the Coast. We 

 shoot a good deal out our way, both at the trap and in the field. 



A. L. Bemiett, of Kansas City.— Onr shooting park at Kansas City is 

 doing well, and the side hill is stiU there. 



Mr. Sill it h, of Dixon. — You talk in Fohest and Stream about funny 

 shots. Now, there's our friend Hale, of the Dison Gun Club. He was 

 shooting at live birds, and he missed a pigeon with his first barrel, 

 and with his second broke 125 bluerocks, in a barrel sitting near the 

 dead Une. He was not sitting in the barrel, the bluerocks were in the 

 barrel. When they tf>ld him he had broke 135 he ijust said, "Well, let 

 it go at that."
