Carver Defeats Elliott. 
■Kansas City, July 14.— Trap-shooting in the West received a great 
impetus this week through the series of three matches between Dr. 
W. F. Carver and J. A. R Elliott, which were shot at Exposition Ball 
Park during the past three days, and the series will go down into gun 
club history as one of the best and most closely contested ever seen 
in America. The first race was won by Elliott by a single bird on the 
good score of 96 to 95, the best made in the series. The second was 
wbn by Carver, 94 to 93, and the. last by Carver, 95 to 94, making a 
grand total of 284 for Carver and 282 for Elliott. The matches were 
all three most stubbornly contested, and the first and last were in 
doubt until tlie last rounds were fired. The second was equally 
hard fought, hut Elliott fell down in the last fifteen and Carver beat 
him out by two birds and lost his last bird apparently intentionally. 
Elliott and Carver have been nagging at each other for a match for 
two or three years, hut they could not be got to the sticking point 
until last week, when some Kansas City friends of Carver threw down 
the gauntlet and a series of three matches was arranged for $100 a 
match and $100 additional on the odd, Hurlingham rules to govern 
and the gate receipts to be divided after expenses were paid out. 
Elliott probably did not lose much money, hut his pride was hurt; 
and while he made a gallant fight he feels his defeat keenly and wili 
seek to get on another series of matches under the same conditions 
for next September. Andy E. Thomas refereed the matches, W. V. 
Rieger judged for Elliott and E F. Swinney for Carver and James 
Whitfield scored. 
Elliott was fortunate in the. first race and got two birds that were 
saved to him only by the fence, but in the last two, the fickle goddess 
of fortune smiled on the "Evil Spiritof the Plains," and he won out the 
last two matches. Elliott shot a grand race to-day. He fell behind 
in the early part of the game, hut shot gamely and finished strong, 
and while defeafed the victor had to acknowledge that he had met the 
hardest task of his life before the traps, and conceded that his winning 
of to-day's match was largely due to his luck in getting birds that 
were only slightly winged. 
Carver used a 71bs. 9oz. Cashmore gun, and his loads were 3}£drs. of 
wood powder with lj^oz. of 7% chilled shot in Winchester leader 
shells. Elliott also used the Winchester leader shell loaded with 3J^ 
dra. American E, C. powder, lJ4oz. of chilled 7's and wadded with the 
new Winchester system of nitro wadding, and he thinks that his loads 
were more penetrating than were those used by Carver. 
There were quite a number of visiting sportsmen in town during the 
series, among whom were John Cook, of Mound City; M. F. Myers, of 
St, Joseph; Dr. F. P. Hatfield, of Grenola, Kas. ; W. W. Dale, of Cedar- 
valie, Kas. ; and the florid complexion of W. H. Skinner loomed up in 
the stand on the second day. 
Thursday's Shoot. 
The opening shoot was shot under favorable circumstances, and 
while the weather was hot there was a good breeze blowing. The 
birds were fairly quick to wing and as a rule were strong flyers and 
many pretty kills were made in the first fifteen rounds, Dr. Carver 
was the first to miss, losing his 16th bird. He slobbered it with the 
first barrel and missed with the second. The bird was hard hit but 
managed to rise over the fence. Elliott continued to kill his birds in 
good style and killed 27 straight. The 28th bird, a right- quarterer, he 
hit with both barrels apparently, but it was a big strong bird and 
managed to get over the fence into the right bleachers where it fell 
dead. Carver fell back again on his 32d, a hard straight-away bird 
which got away from both barrels and was last seen going over the 
fence to the races. He also missed the 47th pigeon, an easy right- 
quarterer. Elliott in the meantime was shooting in grand style, but 
after a run of 26 straight he lost another which fell dead in the stand, 
and his 64th bird, a right-quarterer, which looked as big as a turkey, 
got away unhurt, Elliott shooting under him with both barrels. This 
left the score a tie again, hut Carver lost his 73d, a swift-flying black 
bird, that made tracks for the exposition building as soon as the trap was 
sprung. Elliott led until the 82d round, when he fell down on another 
big cinnamon-colored bird which rose above the two loads and left 
for Independence. Both shooters were steady, and it looked as if 
they would finish straight, but Carver lost his 96th bird and the race 
on a bird that went straightaway toward center field. The bird was 
hit bard, however, and fell dead at the stone wall. Elliott finished out 
straight, although he had a narrow escape on his 99th bird. It was a 
weak bird that hopped up in the air and sat right down again, and 
Elliott overshot it when he fired at it on the ground. The boy who did 
the retrieving, and, by the way, he was as clever at it as any veteran, 
lost him at the first attempt, and the bird flew to the home players 1 
bench in the shadow of the grand stand, where the lad gathered him 
safely. Beferee Thomas called for the bird, and as it showed a shot 
mark in the wing, declared it a dead bird. Elliott was also fortunate 
in getting his 77th bird, a white one, which wheeled out of the second 
charge and alighted in the field. The boy failed to gather him at the 
first attempt, but it flew toward the club house and was gathered on 
the door sill. A cheer went up for the local shooter when the referee 
announced the score. 
Beferee Thomas was deliberate but positive in his decisions, and his 
judgment was never questioned by the judges. Dr. Carver accepted 
his defeat gracefully, but appeared confident that he would still win a 
majority of the series. Elhott's steady work, however, has impressed 
his friends with the idea that he will win at least one if not both of the 
other matches . The score :

Friday's Shoot. 
The second match resulted in a decisive victory for Carver over the 
local crack, by a score of 94 to 92, and it was the opinion of a majority 
of the spectators that Carver could have tied his score of Thursday 
and made it 95, had he desired to do so. He apparently shot behind 
his last bird intentionally. The match was witnessed by a larger 
crowd than on Thursday, and until Elliott fell down in the stretch the 
shoot was fully as interesting and exei'ingas the opening one. The 
birds were a much gamer lot of flyers than on Thursday, as the 
weather was not so oppressively warm, and they were also a hardier 
lot a number of them carrying a heavy load of shot out of the bound- 
aries. The same officials that acted in the opening shoot performed 
the same duties, and their work was beyond criticism. 
Carver Btarted the match by grassing an incomer, although he was 
forced to use his second barrel and Elliott killed his 1st clean with his 
first barrel, but used the second as a precautionary measure. Both 
men did some close shooting in the first 10, but Elliott lost his 11th 
bird, which was slow to wing and he misjudged it as it hugged the 
grass on its way out to centerfield. He also lost his 15th, a slow flying 
right-quartering driver, which, while hit, scaled the fence. At the 19th 
round Carver scored a lost one, shooting behing an easy right quarter- 
ing bird with both barrels, and at. the 30th shot he slobbered a fast 
outgoing bird. He hit it with the first barrel and it dropped as he let 
go the second. The boy who does the retrieving failed to gather the 
bira, which rose to fl'ght as he approached it and went to the races. 
This left the score a tie and it remained so until the 36th round. 
Elliott was unfortunate on his bird, the puller failing to pull the 
trap on his first call, which rather disconcerted him, and at the 
second attempt a fast flying bird wriggled off in a right-quarter- 
ing direction. Elliott got feathers with the first barrel, but the bird 
wheeled suddenly and, escaping the second load, journeyed on south- 
ward. From this on Elliott settled down and did some remarkably 
clever work, killing 36 straight, by far the best run of the match. In 
the meantime Carver lost his 43d bird, a big cinnamon and white 
pigeon, wnich was hard hit, but managed to get over the north fence, 
falling dead at the stone wall. He also lost his 54th, and for the first 
time during the match was one bird behind. It was a right-quarter- 
ing bird, and, although hit by both barrels, the loads struck too far 
back and the bird fell dead on the right bleachers. Elliott came near 
losing his 61st, a similar bird, but it cjuld not quite scale the south 
fence. He droppadhis 73d, however, breaking his run. The bird was 
a right-quarterer and fell dead on the bleachers. At the 75th round 
two birds were trapped at once and Elliott killed both in good shape, 
but his judgment in shooting the second one was criticised by the ex- 
perts, and characterized as a grand stand play that was dangerous. 
While the first bird was killed clean, many birds hit apparently as 
hard have raised after striking the ground and winged their flight 
back to the lofts. Should this have occurred yesterday Elliott would 
have been in a nice predicament without any load In his gun. Carver 
fell back again on his 81st, a low flying right-quarterer that he did not 
lead far enough, but Elliott lost his 82d, a twisting driver that escaped 
both barrels, and the score was again at a tie and remained so until 
the 87th. when Elliott slobbered another right-quarterer. The bird 
was shot badly, and when it flew against the wire in the grand stand 
it looked as though luck was still with Elliott, but it recovered and 
flew out over the right bleachers. Elliott shot in poor form from that 
on and lost his &2d and 95tb birds, both of which he touched slightly. 
This left him three behind, and Carver had the match won at the 98th 
round. He killed his 99th for good measure, but let his century bird 
get away without much apparent effort to stop its flight. The score:

The Saturday Shoot. 
Dr. Carver won the last shoot of the series in another exciting finish 
in what was one of the hardest fought pigeon shooting matches on 
record, by a score of 96 to 94. The match was styled a world's cham- 
pionship contest. It was entitled to the distinction, and those who 
witnessed the series can truthfully say that they have seen the great- 
est trap-shooting event that has ever fallen to the lot of the most 
ardent patron of the trap and trigger. Elliott won the first match by 
a score of 96 to 95 and Carver the last two by scores of 94 to 92 and 95 
to 94. Each of the three matches was fought from start to finish, and 
the result was in doubt in the first and third matches until the last 
round was fired. While Elliott was beaten he made a gallant fight 
that stamps him a wing shot of the first class, and the world renowned 
rifle and wing shot, known on both sides of the Atlantic as the greatest 
wing shot that ever put a shotgun to his shoulder, was fortunate in- 
deed to carry off the honors, as he certainly had luck in his favor in 
the final and deciding race of yesterday, two birds being scored to his 
credit which, it seemed, would certainly wing their flight out of the 
Inclosure. 
The race was a repetition of the first one, and it was anybody's up 
to the last round. Carver won the toss and elected to open the game. 
He grassed his first, a good straightaway bird, with the first barrel, 
and Elliott did the same. The birds were hardly as fast as those of 
Friday and they were interfered with somewhat by a drizzling rain, 
which also bothered the shooters. Elliott's work generally was supe- 
rior to Carver's as he killed his birds cleaner and killed 53 birds with 
the use of a single barrel. 
Elliott was the first to lose a bird, his 12th getting away with the loss 
of a few feathers. His 14th and 17th also escaped in like manner, on 
account of his failure to lead his birds sufficiently. This left him three 
behind, and his most enthusiastic admirers thought it was all over, but 
he surprised them by shooting a great uphill game. Carver lost his 
19th bird, a right-quarterer, which was hit but reached the scoreboard 
and perched and afterward flew out of the inclosure. He lost his 20th 
and 25th, while Elliott was killing in good shape, and the race was a 
tie until the 36th, when Elliott lost another right-quarterer that showed 
evidence of being hit. He also lost his 4Sth, which put him two behind 
again. Carver in the meantime was shooting a grand race, and made 
the longest run of the series, losing his 71st bird after scoring 45 
straight. The lost bird fell over the fence at the stone wall. He lost 
his 83d, a corkscrew rigbt-quari-ering bird, and the score was again a 
tie, and remained so until the 92d round, when Elliott overshot a low- 
flying outgoer that managed to reach the high fence in center field. 
Carver finished straight and won the match and the Beries by a score 
of 95 to 94. The score:

New York German Gun Club. 
When the New York German Gun Club held its July shoot at Dex- 
ter Park the weather was e~tremely hot and the attendance not as 
heavy as was expected. The medal shoot at eigh^ birds each, handi- 
cap rises, attracted ten competitors and necessitated a shoot— the re- 
sults being here shown:

Wilmerding Gun Club's Tournament. 
On Friday, July 13, the Wilmerding (Pa.) Gun Club had a most suc- 
cessful little tournament. For a one-day's shoot the number of en- 
tries was unusually large, but Pittsburgh is a very hotbed of trap- 
shooters, consequently all shoots in that neighborhood are well 
attended, Among those present were "Old Hoss," Elmer E. Shaner, 
W. M. C. Jones. J. O'H. Denny, J. E. England ("Bessemer"), W. J. 
Vance, John Gelm, Mr. Anderson of Braddock, Laughrey from Ligo- 
nier, Cochran, Zumer and a number of others. The most notable 
absentee was "Jim Crow." It appears that Jim has been suspended 
by the Pittsburgh Gun Club, the reason for his suspension being that 
he has not attended a shoot for a long time; the understanding is that 
"Jim Crow" will be reinstated just as soon as he shows up at a shoot. 
Jim's plea is that just now he believes that he can shoot like Bolla 
Heikes and doesn't wish to undeceive himself. 
To return to the shoot of the 13th, the grounds of the Wilmerding 
Club are situated in a narrow valley along the line of the Pennsylvania 
Railroad. On the day of the shoot the wind came down the valley 
during the morning with such force that it drove the targets in all 
directions, making straights, even] in such company, extremely rare. 
The club had fixed everything with a view to making their guests 
comfortable, and succeeded in making things run smoothly from the 
start.

Traps at Narragansett Pier. 
Narragansktt Pier, R. I.— A few of the shooters of this place, who 
have taken up trap-shooting within the past six months, met on Sat- 
urday P. M. last at the grounds near Sherry's for a few hours' sport 
with the clay birds. They had with them Mr. S A. Tucker, of the 
Parker Bros., a native of this town, who is visiting his brother at 
Wakefield, and his presence seemed to inspire the boys into doing 
some pretty good shooting for amateurs and some very creditable 
scores were rolled up. The first event, not down on the programme, 
was the appearauce of a minature cyclone coming from the West, 
which was evidently sent in honor of Mr. Tucker's visit, as most of 
his time is spent in traveling through the Western States. After the 
departure of the storm, which dampened everything but the ardor of 
the enthusiastic sportsmen, a 25-bird race was shot, and although the 
atmosphere was very heavy, causing the smoke from the guns to 
hover over the traps like a cloud, sometimes entirely obscuring the 
birds from view, some very good shooting was done— as follows:

other shower seemed to be approaching at the close of the match it 
was proposed to postpone the remaining events till the following 
Tuesday. 
Tuesday, the 17th, was all that could be asked for as regarded 
weather conditions, being bright and sunshiny, not too hot, and a 
gentle breeze from the southwest, which, as the traps are set facing 
the northeast, only served to impart a little impetus to the speed of 
the swift-flying targets. After a little p eliminary shooting to warm 
up, the following races were run off, all being at unknown traps and 
angles, rapid-fire system:

Trap-shooting is a new departure at Narragansett Pier, none of the 
above men with the exception of Messrs. Tucker and Randolph ever 
having seen a clay pigeon until last February; but it is believed that 
there is material for a pretty strong team, as nearly all the scores are 
better than 60,^. No club has yet been organized but the results of the 
above shoot may tend to awaken a little enthusiasm among the local 
sportsmen. It should be taken into consideration that this is the first 
time the men have ever shot under the rapid fire system, all the prac- 
tice shooting having been done at one score. R.
