CHICAGO AND THE WEST, 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
Tbe South Side Gun Club's New Year's Day shoot has been a popular 
fixture for the past 14 years, and the fifteenth annual tournament of 
that club set for Jan. 1. 1895. promises to be no exception to the gen- 
eral rule. The secretary, W. R. Hobart, is getting out a programme 
that ought to fetch the boys, as no one knows better than Billy what 
those same boys enjoy. 
Conny Furgueson, 3d, and C. A. Sykes, secretary of the New Utrecht 
Gun Club, Woodlawn, L. I., are now tied for that club's prize with 9 
shoots each and a score of 85 kills. To qualify, they must each shoot 
one more string of 10 birds; this they will do at tbe next club shoot. 
T. W Morfey, who has shot at 10 birds has 94 kills to his credit. 
Conny's handicap allows him one miss as a kill and one miss as a no 
bird. As he is doing some great shooting now, he will give Secretary 
Sykes a hard race to beat him out. 
Nkw London, Conn , Dec. 17.— Tbe Standard Keystone Target Co., 
of this city, was totally destroyed by fire on Saturday night The loss 
is Stated to amount to $20,000, of which one-half is covered by insurance. 
Targets on Thursday, Dec. 20, and live birds on Friday, Dec. 21, is 
the programme at Elizabeth, N. J., this week. 
The next contest for the New Utrecht Gun Club's holiday cup 
will be held on Christmas Day at the club's grounds, Woodlawn, 
L. I. The fourth contest for the E. C. powder cup will take place the 
following Saturday, Dec. 29. 
A fifty-bird race, 30yds. rise, between Charles WoolmiDgton of 
Union Hill and T. T. Edgerton of Brooklyn, was shot on Tuesday, Dec. 
11, on the grounds of the Union Hill Gun Club at North Bergen. The 
match was for $100 a side, Woolming£on winning with the low score 
of 34, Edgerton scoring but 32. 
The New Utrecht Gun Club held its annual meeting on Dec. 12, 
when the following officers were re elected: Walter F. Sykes, Presi- 
dent; Jeremiah Lott, Vice-President; Charles A. Sykes, Secretary and 
Treasurer. The report of the secretary shows the remarkable growth 
of the club during the past year and of its excellent financial standing. 
The membership now numbers eighty, and there is a balance on band 
of over $ f ;7 in the treasury. Nearly $1,000 was spent in improving the 
club grounds both at Woodlawn and Bay Ridge, and the assets of the 
club amount to about $1,200, alow estimate, while the liabilities are 
not much over $300. Nearly 7,000 live birds were shot at by the club 
members at Woodlawn since July 1. Those present were Walter F. 
Sykes, Charles A. Sykes, David O. Bennett, Wm. Wynn, Garrett W. 
Cropsey, Robert R. Street, G. W. Coulston, Charles C. Bennett, Geo. 
E. Nostrand, A. A. Hegeman, Dr. Parker, W. Lair, P. A E. Hogeman, 
Donly Deacon and G. Kattenstroth and Conny Furgueson. 
The Keystone Shooting League, of Philadelphia, Pa., has issued the 
following cards to its members: "Philadelphia, Dec. 10.— Dear Sir: 
Mr. George Cohen, one of our memoers, has kindly donated a trophy 
to the League, to be shot for by members of tbe League. We expect 
to have it on exhibition at clubhouse on Saturday, 15th inst, when 
there will be optional sweepstake shooting. It is the desire of the 
committee that all members that possibly can get out to the shoots 
between now and first of year, do so, as they wish to establish handi- 
cap shooting, go that all members will have equal chance to win this 
and other trophies that we are assured will be offered for members to 
contest for. If you have any f riendB that thin k of joining the League, 
if possible get their propositions in for the January meeting, as after 
the first of year all indications are that there will be very interesting 
shooting for members. — Property Committee, J. C. Shallcross, Sec'y," 
The second card runs as follows: "Phtladblphia, Pa., Dec. 12. — Dear 
Sir: The members and friends of the Keystone Shooting League are 
cordially invited to participate in a good old-f ashioned target shoot on 
Christmas Day. Each member will confer a favor by inviting all his 
friends. Three sets of traps will be used and all shooters can be 
accommodated. Events will be gotten up for those desiring to shoot 
sweepstakes and for those not desiring to shoot sweepstakes. There 
will be live birds on the grounds for those desiring to shoot them. The 
house is thoroughly heated, and everything will be done for the com- 
fort of our guests. Loaded shells for sale on ground by superinten- 
dent. Trains leave Broad Street Station for Holmesburg Junction, P. 
R. R., at 12:01, 12:50, 1:50, 2:43 and 3:32, returning at 3:36,4:25.5:11, 
5:54, 6:05 and 6:49. And leave Kensington Station, Front and Norris 
6treets, at 12:10, 12:35. 2:50 and 4:30, returning at 3:10, 4:23, 5:08 and 
6:30. Shooting will start on arrival of 12; 50 train, Broad Street Sta- 
tion.— Property Committee, J. C. Shallcross, Sec'y." 
The second shoot for the Flushing (L. I ) Shooting Club's Invitation 
cup takes place on Thursday next. Stages meet the trains at the 
Murray Hill station on the Long Island Railroad. Among the 
entries are C. M. Meyer and C. Furgueson, Jr., of the New Utrecht 
Gun Club. 
Don't lose sight of the Newark City handicap, Jan. 24, Erb's ground, 
25 live birds, $10 entrance, birds extra. The shoot is given under the 
auspices of the Newark Gun Club. 
The third match in the Clark-Morfey series of 100-bird races comes 
off at Yardville, N. J., Charlie Zwirlein's grounds, on Friday, Dec. 21. 
At the recent annual meeting of the Frankford Gun Club the fol- 
lowing officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: President, 
Geo. Steam; Vice-President, Charles Schock; Secretary, E. Beck; 
Treasurer, H. Longhead; Trustees, C. Bourne and J. F. Crowther; 
Field Captain, E. Betson: Assistant Field Captain, H. Longhead; Offi- 
cial scorer, Frank Linzey. The club will hold a prize shoot for mem- 
bers only on New Year's Day. 
Jack Brewer has backed himself to kill 46 of 50 birds at Frank Class 
grounds, Morristown Driving Park, N. J. Frank Class has backed 
the birds and will select his fastest; the stakes are $100 a side. The 
shoot takes place on Thursday, Dec. 20. 
Paul North is in this city on business, and (inter alia) has brought 
East with him the new bluerock trap and electric pull attachment that 
his company will place on the market early in the coming year. 
There are several important changes in the make-up of the new blue- 
rock trap, changes that have done away with whatever chance there 
was of finding fault with the expert trap now in use. A more ex- 
tended notice of the new trap will be given in a week or so. 
Somebody is after Brewer's scalp! In the Forest and Stream of 
Oct. 6 Capt. Brewer offers to shoot any man a race at 500 targets, un- 
known angles, for $250 a side. Northern New York has beeu heard 
from and Brewer can get a match whenever he wants one. A Roches- 
ter (N. Y.) shooter, to be more particular, is willing to cover Brewer'^ 
money as soon as tbe Captain is ready to put up. In view of the fact 
that Brewer is just now attending strictly to live birds, the man from 
Rochester (can it be Glover?) is willing to wait until Brewer gets 
through wiih Elliott and Carver, 
In the brief account given of the scores made at the Townsend testi- 
monial 6hoot on Dec. G, an error crept in that should be rectified; em- 
pire targets and not bluerocks were used in every event at Marion, N. 
J., on that date. 
The attention of all officials of gun clubs and game protection asso- 
ciations in the State of New Jersey is directed to the account of the 
convention held at New Brunswick, N. J., on Saturday, Dec. 15, which 
appears elsewhere in this issue. 
Pittsburg is all right! "Old Hoss" has put himself on record as 
backing up Forest and Stream's scheme for the control of trapshoot- 
ing. 
Mr. C. C. Napier, representative of the firm of Hartley & Graham 
315 Broadway, New York, has just returned from a southern trip' 
Mr. Napier says that he found the boys too busy shooting quail to 
pay any attention to targets, 
Those New Englanders held their own in the Morristown' (N. J.) han- 
dicap on Thursday, Dec. 13, didn't they? Leroy was a tamale hot 
enough for anybody that day. 
Elmer E. Sbaner, manager of the Interstate Manufacturers' and 
Dealers' Association, is in New York on business connected with the 
Association's career in '95. (Wonder if the Association won't accom- 
modate us a little and chop a cubit or so off its title?) 
C. A. Bogardus is anxious to shoot Dr. Carver a series of matches 
and doesn't seem to care much whether the matches are shot with a 
rifle, a shotgun or both. 
Dr. Carver will spend the holidays at his home in Kansas City re- 
turning to Chicago shortly after New Years Day. On his return to 
the Windy City he will shoot George Kleinman for the live bird cham- 
pionship medal recently won by Kleinman. This medal represents the 
live bird championship of the United States. 
The Swan Lake Shooting Club held its annual meeting at the Grand 
Pacific Hotel on Monday evening, Dec. 19. The reports of the various 
officers showed the club to be in a flourishing condition. Officers for 
the ensuing year were elected as follows: E. W. Bangs. President- 
Wm. Nash, Vice President; S. R. Jewett, Secretary and Treasurer; g' 
H. High and D. M. Cummings, Directors. This club distinguished 
itself among shooting clubs last year by blackballing Gov. Altgeld 
The reason that the club did so was because it considerpd that the 
Governor did not use his influence for the strict enforcement of the 
State game law. 
A tournament at live birds and targets will be held at John Watson's 
grounds, Burnside Park, during Christmas week. Watson has gotten 
out an interesting programme which covers every day of the holiday 
week, 
The Present and Past in the Wilder West. 
[From a Staff Correspondent] 
ANACONDA, MONTANA. 
Chicago, 111., Oct. 24— In my desk I have a large and beautiful 
photograph. It shows ten miles of rough and ragged mountain front, 
scarred with caiion and defile, and covered with scant forest growth. 
So lofty is this mountain that although it lies far in the background of 
the picture, it towers above and dominates the whole. Taking a 
general glance at this interesting bit of the Rockies, one might natur- 
ally call it a delectable place for game of the larger Eort. 
But alas! when I study my photograph closely I can see on the face 
of the nearer mountain slope the faint line of a wagon trail. Worse 
yet, I discover the gash in the face of the rocks here on the lpft of the 
main canon to be the work of the hand of man, and not that of nature. 
The long white line running from it to the bottom of the canon is not 
a series of fallen trees, but the long flume built by the diligent and 
avaricious hand of the human mining beaver. These lines leadiDg 
down from the foot of the flume, and spreading out divergently upon 
the flat which lies below the nearer foothills are well beaten roads. 
And alas I again, and worst of all, here on the flat valley below the 
mountains, occupying half of my picture, there lies spread out in 
prim and mathematical exactness the streets and buildings of a well 
ordered modern city. 
This is Anaconda, destined, so its inhabitants think, to be the cap- 
ital of the State of Montana, and in their opinion the biggest little 
town on earth. A beautiful location it has and a beautiful little city 
it certainly is, showing in the picture as neat and trig as a flower 
garden, with its right-angled streets and compactly built business 
blocks. In the picture one caQnot see the great smelters which are 
the foundation and support of Anaconda, and it is just as well one 
cannot, for nothing spoils the landscape more than a big and smoky 
smelter, and our mountain scene is spoilei sufficiently by even so 
clean and pretty a little city as tbis. I can see the great hotel, a 
credit to any city, and the substantial block in which is published the 
Standard, the greatest newspaper of Montana, and here is the big 
court house, and there the elaborate school building, and here are at 
least three churches, though there may be others whose spires I can- 
not find. In the background, there is the Past of the wilder West. In 
the foreground, more's the pity, occupying still more space, and 
showing not yet all that is to be, is the Present of that same West. 
The present of smelters, churches and schools. 
When the sportsman of Anaconda wishes to go fishing, he boards 
the railroad and takes a journey. When he wuhes to gat a deer, he 
goes over the range. When he wishes to get a bear, he starts for 
some spot which you and I know as well as he. Alas and lack-a day 1 
and this is in the heart of the continental range of America. 
I know the readers of Forest and Stream would a great deal rather 
read about Indians and bears and the killing of the same than listen to 
the chronicles of a tame trap-shooting town, but if I tell the truth 
about Anaconda I must declare the plain mud pie of commerce to be 
the chief object of those of sportsmanlike pursuit. I would rather 
say that fourteen lusty grizzly bears were killed in the edge of town 
during the past wioter, and that the little red riding hoods need to 
be herded off the streets to keep them from the fangs of numerous 
ravening wolves; but all lean really say is that the Anaconda Gun 
Club in the year of '93 broke 37,000 targets and paid out $1,600 for live 
birds and inanimates. I may add also that the grounds of this flour- 
ishing ' organization are perfectly equipped and modern ia every 
respect. The traps are covered, the pulls are of the latest sort, and 
there is a good shooting house which protects the shooter in either 
sun or rain. Anaconda, in short, and Anaconda shooting club, would 
offer the best facilities for a modern tournament at the traps. 
If we are disgusted at finding bluerocks instead of bear, and pigeons 
instead of deer, we must at least be fair and admit the excellence of 
the rules and regulations of the Anaconda Rod and Gun Club. Under 
the system of this club the young shooter is rigidly protected, and the 
amateur is not left at the mercy of the shooter whose skill and experi- 
ence give him an undue advantage. The shooting is done under a 
medal system of a very ingenious arrangement, there being two 
classes, A and B, and the entrance moneys are arranged so that the 
shooting is as cheap to each club member as possible. The success 
and popularity of the system adopted would seem to be fully evident 
by the shooting record of the club, mentioned above. There are very 
few trap clubs in the country which shoot 37,000 targets in a year, and 
there are few clubs where the interest of the m«mbership is kept up 
so unflaggingly as in this one. The Anaconda clubmen shoot fifty-two 
weeks in the year, rain or shine, and when there are not many mem- 
bers present on the grounds, there are at least a few. 
Dr. Rockefeller, at the time of my visit to Anaconda, appeared to 
be fairly entitled to the name of local champion, and in Mr, U. A. Tut- 
tle I think I discovered the practical man of affairs, who in every com- 
munity forms the center of the shooting interest. Mr. Tuttle's store 
is headquarters for the boys, and very good company, too, one may 
find there. Mr. Tuttle was elected the secretary of tbe Montana State 
Association, and being naturally a diligent and practical man was a 
wise choice for that responsible position. 
At the time I saw the city, Anaconda in common with all Montana 
towns was suffering from the silver depression, but a pluckier and 
more hopeful hodyof citizens no town ever had even in the self-reliant 
and energetic West. Of one thing one may be sure, and that is that 
the visitor from the East, who comes within the gates of Anaconda, 
will have as hearty and genuine a welcome as he can get anvwhere in 
the world. This feature of the West of the Past still remains in the 
West of the Present. For the stranger there are no latch strings and 
no locks on Anaconda doors, and I am prone to believe that it will be 
many, many years before the trait of sincere hospitality will vanish 
here as it long since has in the older cities of the world. One can 
only wish for the future of such a community tbe brightest and most 
roseate days, whether in matters of business or of sportsmanship In 
the columns of Forest and Stream we will sometimes hear of Ana- 
conda, and there also the Anacouda men will read of the doings of 
other portions of the world. Surely the purposes and accomplish- 
ments of a great sportsman's journal are of usefulness and beauty.

Trap at Closter, N. J. 
Closter, N. J., Dec. 12. — Bill Linderman of this place had a couple 
of New York friends out here this morning with the intention of show- 
ing them how Bergen county Dutchmen" can shoot quail. As luck 
would have it, the weather was altogether unpropitiou3 for quail 
hunting, yet Bill managed to awake the echoes of the swamps with 
his 10-bore gun loaded with 4drs. of soft coal, one quail falling dead at 
the report. The New Yorkers with their nitro powder and feather- 
weight guns did better. During the afternoon the weather became 
warm, rain falling in torrents. An adjournment was made to the 
Closter Gun Club's house, where a few target races were shot for 
nominal stakes. The chief event was the team race between sides 
chosen by the two New Yorkers. Edwards's side was an easy winner 
by 8 targets. Greiff, Linderman and Edwards shot from two unknown 
traps, the balance from one trap, known angles; one man up was the 
rule, as the shooter had to stand in the door of the club house to be 
out of the wet. Scores:

The Fathers Beat the Sons. 
There was a good afternoon's amusement at the grounds of the 
New Utrecht Gun Club, Woodlawn. L. I , on Saturday, Dec. 15 The 
chief event was a match between C. Furgueson, Jr., and E Lohman 
on the one side, and their respective sons, Conny and Danny, on the 
other side. The race was a very close one at the finish, Lohman Sr < 
going to pieces badly in his last 11 birds. As it was, the bovs were 
beaten but one bird. A return match will be shot in the near'future 
Scores in the various events were as follows:

Good Scores at Morristown. 
Deo. 13 was in direct opposition to its predecessor, the day on which 
the "hog shoot" at Fanwood, N. J., was held. On that day it was dull 
and wet, yet by no means cold; on Dec. 13 it was dull and wild, with a 
chill nor'wester that made pigeon shooting at Frank Class's grounds, 
Morristown (N. J.) Driving Park, anything but warm work. It is 
true, there was hot company present, company warm enough for any- 
body; such names as J. A. R Elliott, -T. L. Brewer, Eddie Hill, T. W. 
Morfey, Frank Class. B. "Leroy," O. R. Dickey, F. Van Dyke, Milt 
Lindsley, "Dutchy" Smith, etc., tell the tale. The list, shows that 
quality was by no means lacking. Among those who looked on at 
the shooting were C. W. Dimick, Lowell, Mass. ; W. Fred Quimby, 
Neaf Apgar, T. H. Keller, Mrs. M. F. Lindsley (-'Wanda") and others, 
The first three events were 5-bird sweeps, with 8 entries in No. 1, 
Leroy and Dickey killing 8; No. 2 had 7 entries, half of whom killed 
all their birds; No. 3, with 7 entries, had Ave among their number who 
killed their string. In these three events 110 birds were shot at, 95 of 
which were scored, four others falling dead outside the flags. Next 
came Event No. 4, 8 birds, $5, with 11 entries, Morfey, Leroy and Class 
killing straight; five others scored 7, the remaining three killing 6 out 
of their 8. The combined score in this event was 77 out of 88, with 3 
dead out of bounds. 
The main event, No. 5, had 18 entries; it wa3 at 15 birds, $15 en- 
trance, 4 moneys, handicap rise. The handicapping was in charge of 
Mr. Jacob Pentz, who also acted as referee. Handicaps ranged from 
26 to -32yds., Brewer and Elliott being placed on the 32yds. mark; this 
did not prevent Jim from killing all his birds in a quick, clean style. 
"Dutchy" on the 28yds. mark killed his 15 and received hearty con- 
gratulations on his precise work with that rheumatic south paw of 
his. "If it hadn't been for my rheumatism," said Dutchy, "perhaps I 
would have killed more!" As for the birds they were a good lot that 
were aided in no small degree by the strong wind that was blowing 
from the score to the traps. Altogether 462 birds were trapped during 
the day; 379 of them were scored, in addition to which 20 fell deadout 
of bounds. The best work of the day was unquestionably that done 
by B. "Leroy" Woodward, of Brockton, Mass., one of the latest con- 
verts to nitro powder. Leroy's total for the day was 36 out of 38, his 
two lost birds being dead out of bounds; he ran 27 straight before he 
missed; T. W. Morfey killed 23 straight, all he shot at; Jim Elliott 
scored 22 out of 23, one dead out of bounds being scored against him

Ward's Record for '94. 
Columbus, O — The Sherman Rod and Que Club recently brought its 
season to a close with its thirtieth weekly shoot, at which five mem- 
bers contested for the club badges. Pansy won the Class A medal, 
Duncan taking first honors in Class B. 
The table given below shows the work of nineteen members who 
took part in the weekly shoots of this club. Ward's average is a great 
one, when it is taken into account that his 400 targets were shot in 
strings of 25, unknown angles, on no less than sixteen different occa- 
sions. The average of S3 makes Mr. Ward captain of the club for the 
coming season. His record in the badge contests is only a part of his 
work at the traps. Since January of this year he has shot at exactly 
2,820 targets, scoring 2,620, his general average being thus equal to that 
made in the badge contests— viz., 93 per cent.:
