Friday, Fifth Day, Oct. 6. 



The C!Iimate looked thoughtful for a few moments and then turned 

 out another sort of weather, the kind of weather that makes a man 

 think it is time to get the cabbage and turnips down cellar, and have 

 the stove put up in the sittmg room. There was some rain and the 

 Chicago air was in action. It humped itself from the score toward 

 the traps at about leventy-flve miles a second, so that John Watson 

 had to put guy ropes on the shooters when they went to the score. 



And the birds? Well, the Climate thought it was a shame the way 

 the birds had acted for a few days and resolved to save unditnmed 

 the pristine reputation of the park. To-day the birds were harsh and 

 heartless as of yore. We will draw a veU of charity over these birds 

 and hope for the best. A great many went over the bounds; so many 

 that the shooters stood in a row at the score and sang softly the old 

 air, "WiUie, we have missed you." This kind of a WiUie bird was 

 very frequent. The wind was a gale and many birds killed stone dead 

 simply blew over the boundary. Scores:

THE TARGETS, 



The traps in front of the target house were kept smoking all day. 

 The aborigines who infested this part of the landscape still refused to 



be elevated by John Watson and myself, and so continued to walk. 

 They would not join the great popular movement of Mr. Watson and 

 myself. They would rather stay at home and shoot by electricity; if 

 they could, so they could break them all without bothering about aim- 

 ing or anything of that sort. It was a good, swift lot of shooters, but 

 the wind simply toyed with their reputations. Don't make any matchs 

 with any of the.ie people on account of the low scores, you may note.

Saturday, Sixth Day, Oct. 7. 



The Climate was right in line again, and it didn't dispense any more 

 New Jersey weather, either. It turned loose a sunny, snappy day, 

 with a wind that would jerk the masts out of some taU Admiral, not 

 made by a trust, and it murmured to the boys at Watson's, " Now play 

 ball " It was the kind of day where a man wishes fall trowsers didn't 

 come at $22 or $4, and when he goes home and gathers his family 

 about his knee, or his both knees as the case may be. I don't believe 

 in playing favorites in knees any more than anything else. Anyhow, 

 he goes home, and gathers his family about him in front of the great 

 roaring fire place, or the stove filled with coal at a roaring great high 

 price, same thin^ e.s:cept in poetry, and he orders, as Mr. Digby Bell 

 would have it, a hot pousse caf(5 with an egg in it, and sends down 

 stairs after some apples for the children, and he says to himself, says 

 he. Let her blow, I have a roof over my head to shelter myself and 

 the loved ones, unless this wind gets a little stronger, and the rent 

 won't be due till 30 days after I pay this section of it. Well, this 

 is about how the weather was to-day. I don't consider it professional 

 to pay it was clear, with a strong 4 o'clock wind. The Chicago 

 Climate is not to be handled lightly. 



The shifting crowd showed hew'faces, but the attendance continued 

 large. The shoot has .sustained itself remarkably well The number 

 of good shooters was so large that there was no lamb element to speak 

 of, and no one man nor any combination of men was getting the lion's 

 share of it. As an interesting and satisfactory tournament it showed 

 itself on this closing day to be a perfect success. Perhaps in these 

 times we can not hope for any tournament which will exactly fill our 

 ideas as tr what is purely busioe.'^slike. but as tournaments go we shall, 

 in all probability, wait a long time before we see in any part of the 

 country another one so representative of the whole country or so far 

 above the criticisms which lie naturally against so many tournaments, 

 whether or not concealed by the timid or good-natured sporting press. 

 In short, without being accused legitimately of flattery, eulogy or even 

 of plain taffy, we may safely and concisely say that, on the face of to- 

 day's ^ummary, this tournament has been a great one. It was a corker, 

 likewise a bird, also a James dandy. Scores:

Br'er Gawge Kleinman won Ist, $176. He also won a special prizis, 

 $25, offered to the winner of this even* by E. I). Fulford, who was so 

 sorry he couldn't be here that he contributed his check with his letter 

 of regrets to John Watson Other ties divided. 



Sweep, straight freeze out, $5. There were 16 entries. At the 13th 

 bird Young, Robinson, Suydam and Parmalee divided §42. This was 

 the last live bird event of the programme. 



In I he above miss-and-out shoot Mrs. M. F. Lindsley ("Wanda") 

 shot in with the others, shooting for the birds only, and killing 6 out 

 of the 12, a feat a long ways harder than it looks on paper. 



In the morning before school took up Miss Annie Oakley again came 

 over and shot a few practice birds. She kiUed 9 out of 10 very cleanly, 

 dropping the other dead out of boimds. 



THE TARGETS. 



To-day was set for the decision of Shooting a^id Fi.'ihing'a cham- 

 pionship team race AU through the week the Western men have felt 

 that they had a sure thing, and the Eastern men went to tb« scortj to- 

 day admitting that they were beaten and would have to u alk home. 

 It came to them in the nature of a surprise when well along in the 

 race they found they had a lead They gathered, and administered a 

 nice walloping to their Western rivals. The scores were by no means 

 high, but scores don't run high under such hard conditions. The result 

 was a general surprise, but the surprises of results are what make 

 sport. The Eastern men perhaps snot poorly early in the w eeH on 

 aecount of the fatigue folfowjng a long journey. To-day they were 

 too good for the Ohio boys. To-night they have a baiji|iift.' Iheir 

 winning was $500, the defeated team taking $250. The total purse of 

 $750 was contributed by .30 firms prominent hi the sporting trade of 

 the United States. They paid the freight. I notice the big dailies and 

 big weeklies mostly pay their own freight, but I confess au open ad- 

 miration for the Boston paper which got the trade to pay such a good 

 husky freieht bill for it. That is genius which can only mean one 

 thing, namely, a great surgical success. Such a paper may never be 

 able to set a le^, but it certainly could pull it hard. I hope the Boston 

 paper will forgive us for publicly toyiog with Its whiskers in this 

 familiar way. Scores:

The last above closed the shooting of the day. There may be some 

 shooting here next week, but the forces will break up to-night. Frank 

 Parmalee may get on a race which he is looking for next. Mr. M. 

 Collenberger, a shooter whom the Jerseyville, 111., boys will back 

 again.st almost anybody, he having defeated Haggerty of St. Louis and 

 others, thinks that he may come up later and shoot a race or so with 

 the Chicago boys. He will be welcome. During the week that Collen- 

 berger shot at lOO birds in all and lost only 4. He uses a 10 gauge 

 lifter action Parker. Having no 13 gauge, he was unable to enter the 

 big World's Fair sweep. He may remain and shoot a race with 

 Parmalee, but this is only a possibiUty. 



Closing, there remains a thing or two to be said. Perhaps this can 

 be done well enough by quoting Capt Money, of New York, who went 

 up to John Watson this evening and said heartily. "Mr. Watson, I 

 want to congratulate you on this tournament, and especially in your 

 big World's Fair race. This has been the best managed and the 

 smoothest running shooting tournament in every respect, it has even 

 been my pleasure to attend. I do not see where a fault could be 

 ascribed to it." 



Capt. Money's verdict is that of all. It was a finely managed event, 

 and of proportions beyond the thought of the promoter. In actual 

 news interest, it was of more worth than any shooting event ever held 

 here, a fact to which the dailies and most of the other sporting press 

 may awake next week or later. Apropos of this, I wish lo say a word 

 to prove that the heart of the newspaper man is not altogether harsh, 

 discordant and unkind. John Watson and his boys, George and Ike, 

 never were kinder to the press men and never gave them tietter 

 opportunities to do their work Other managements mi^ht do well to 

 follow this example. For these things this paper owes its thanks, as 

 well as for a man's tournament, laid, least on lines original and 

 thoroughly sportsmanlike. " HoUGH,
