Illinois State Twenty-first Annual. 
Chicago, 111., June 8.— The Illinois State Sportsmen's Association 
•was twenty-one years old this week, and celebrated the occasion by 
giving tbe beBt, if not the largest, tournament of its entire life. The 
entry of seventy-four in tbe Board o£ Trade badge shoot and forty- 
two in the Smith cup has often been surpassed, but the smoothness 
and system with -which the shoot was run off havenever been equalled 
here. For the first time in tbe history of the Association the manifold 
scoring book and a systematic method of handling events and affairs 
took the place of the old and awkward fashions long peculiar to this 
fixture. We still have the ten-gauge rules here, hut we now manifold 
our scores. In general smoothness of running, the tournament would 
be hard to surpass, and it was a model in its way not to be easily 
equalled by other tournaments, because the live birds were as usual 
handled in John Watson's unapproachable way. The targets (em- 
pires) were thrown under Mr. Fred Quimby's personal direction and 
worked very nicely. Everybody got his money promptly and not a 
kick was heard anywhere on the grounds. Ike Watson served good 
meals as usual, and everybody else about the old park at Burnside was 
active and accommodating. All in all, the association and all con- 
cerned should feel happy and complacent this year. Even the 
weather, though it started in hot for two days, just to show what it 
could do, moderated Tuesday and was pleasant thereafter. President 
Shepard and Secretary Meyers should be complimented also on the 
quality of weather furnished. John Watson had for the retrieving of 
tbe birds the old reliable pointer Cyclone, also a lively younger one, 
Fiipaway, a third pointer of less experience and a Gordon-Irish setter, 
all very good at their work, so that the shooting advanced very 
regularly and rapidly. The birds were very good indeed for the 
season, and on some of the windy days became puzzling to the best. 
The grounds were in good order. The Audubon Club as usual had 
their hospitable tent open, and Montgomery Ward & Co. had an invit- 
ing pavilion just back of the target score, Messrs. Bingham, Stannard 
and.Qrubbs being on hand for that firm to shoot and talk with shooters. 
THE GRAND PRIZES. 
The grand prize of the association, the Board of Trade badge, was 
carried off this time by Harry Dunnell, of Pistaqua Club, Fox Lake, 
HI., one of a family of duck shooters who were raised on the edge of 
the Fox Lake duck marshes. Once again this trophy was won by a 
10-gauge gun (alow grade L. C. Smith, with Schultze powder). The 
last tie man, Mr. Hicks, of Chicago Garfield Club, also used a 10- 
gauge (a Westley Richards). Mr. J. J. Smith won the badge last year 
with a lO-gauge. Henry Ehlers, the year previous, won it with a 10- 
gauge. In fact, the 10-gauge at the same score with the twelve is, as 
Dr. Carver put it, "a bad gun to go against." Dr. Carver, who was 
st raight on the 10 birds, lost his first bird in the ties, Tuesday morn- 
ing, and fell out. There was objection made to his shooting, but aB 
he is a regular member of the Garfield Gun Club of the association, it 
is hard to see what justice there was in the objection. Carver used 
a 12-gauge weighing nearly lOlbs., a shell 4 or 5in. long, a cup full of 
E C powder and a copy of the Sunday Tribune for wadding. You 
want plenty of soft wadding in nitros. I always like to give the for- 
mula of loading uBed by eminent shooters. 
In the target ^-ophies very much of a surprise ensued. Dr. Froth- 
ingham was in great form and won the Smith cup and also the Mont- 
gomery Ward diamond medal target trophy. When it is remembered 
that last year it was he who won the Montgomery Ward diamond 
medal, the occurrence will appear all tbe more remarkable. Dr. 
Frothingham used a Greener gun and E. C. powder. It was suggested 
by Mr. W. 0. Thorne, of the firm giving these trophies, that if Dr. 
Frothingham should now go on and win their live bird diamond 
trophy, he would probably come down town and ask for the safe. In 
the latter event, however, Dr. Frothingham was not so fortunate. As 
it was, out of his good fortune he generously contributed a handsome 
sum for the good of the Illinois Association. Outside of a few such 
notable wins no one made very much money. Charlie Budd (who 
claim3 that bicycle exercise has put him back in his old form) only 
l"st two targets out of 110, but realized only S7 for the performance. 
Jim Elliott got WO out of 340 targets (in a stiff wind), and was about 
S3 loser on it, Courtney, with his Lef ever ejector, stood for a good 
thing on Tuesday and won out about $50. The heavy wind didn't 
trouble "Court" so much as light weights like Chan Powers and Dick 
Merrill, and he ground them a-plenty, losing only 7 out of 125. 
NON- WINNER HANDICAP. 
The tournament programme announced a non -winner handicap, to in- 
duce inexperienced shooters to attend, but no attention seems to have 
been paid to it in actual practice. The association should make it plain 
that it has nothing whatever to do with the open tournament, which 
really is given by John Watson. Even on this basis, no announcement 
should be made in this or any other programme, in regard to handi- 
caps, which is not scrupulously lived up to in practice, as a charge of 
bad faith coming from even one discontented shooter would rest very 
ill against this association, its substitute management or indeed against 
any management. The association claims to have no control over 
any of the open shooting ; yet the cash in the Montgomery Ward shoots 
at least, which are open events, is always handled by the association 
secretary. Next year this involved and obscure arrangement should 
be cleared up in the programme and in the practice. The association in 
convention disclaimed extending even its "auspices" to the open tour- 
nament, but in the past this has not been clear to the public by any 
means. In regard to the non-winner handicap, which has had some 
advertising in the sporting press in advance, one shooter said: "If 
we shooters don't want it we won't have it." That is very well, but 
if that is to be the case the programme should be very chary of mak- 
ing any announcements which look in another direction, and the as- 
sociation should be very jealous of leaving open any loop-hole to let 
in a criticism of its methods. Not that any serious damage was done, 
aud not that this i3 a criticism, but simply to show that to others it 
may not all be plain. 
VISITORS. 
The trade was well represented by such men as McMurchy, of the 
Hunter Arms Co.; Courtney, of the LsEever Arni3Co.; Quimby, of 
the Empire target; Keller, of the U. S. Cartride Co. ; Sylvester, of the 
Winchester Co., etc., etc. Mr. W. C. Thorne, of Montgomery Ward 
& Co., and Mr. E S. Rice, of the DuPont powders, were among the 
too unusual visitors. Mr. Francis DuPont, of the firm of E. I. Du- 
Pont de Nemours & Co., was in town this week, but unable to attend 
the tournament. Mr. Oliver Lippincott, a prominent shooter of Waco, 
Texas, came out with Mr. Rice. Another unusual feature at the 
shotgun tournament was the presence of no less than three Rocky 
Mountain guides— Elwood Hofer, of Gardiner, Mont.; J. W. Schuliz, 
of Piegan, Mont, and Ira Dodge (now famous aa the man eaten by 
the bear), from Cora, Wyo. All these riflemen are on their gradual 
way back West from the late Sportsmen's Exposition in New York. 
They looked on the curious doings of the tournament shooters with 
much interest, and many were interested in talking with them. 
THE CONVENTION. 
The wise plan was adopted of devoting two evenings to the annual 
convention, Monday and Tuesday. Sixteen clubs qualified. There 
was really not a great deal of news of general interest at the conven- 
tion of Monday evening. The secretary read extended minutes equiv- 
alent to a report for the directors. The report of the law committee 
and the speeches of Messrs. Mott, Baird and Johnson, of the committee, 
and of Mr. Bortree, had mostly to do with the story of the defunct 
Blow bill, to which proper attention was given long ago in Forest and 
Stream. It makes little difference now who killed Cock Robin, the 
main fact being that he is dead. Forest and Stream, being a news- 
paper, cannot spend more time over straw already so thoroughly 
threshed. It was agreed by all that, though the Blow bill was dead, 
and good riddance to it, there could be no hope for legislative action 
this term on the sportsmen's bill, though a superfluous resolution by 
Mr. Strell was passed embodying the information that the association 
was in favor of its own bill and would like to have it passed. Presi- 
dent Shepard told of the committee work at Springfield. A vote of 
thanks was extended the law and executive committees and Mr. Bor- 
tree for faithful labors. An assessment of $5 per club for all clubs 
members of the association was levied for the purpose of raising a 
game protective fund, this to be collected only in case the present 
sportsmen's bill did not pass. The latter is very unlikely to pass, 
though it has reached its third reading in the House. It was ordered 
that 0,000 copies of the game laws of Illinois be printed and 50 copies 
sent to each club for proper distribution. 
Tuesday's convention fell on cooler weather. President Shepard 
pushed things along rapidly. The minutes of the last meeting were 
read and the treasurer's report of the secretary-treasurer followed. 
The association has $75.45 on hand. A vote of thanks was extended 
Messrs. C. S. Wilcox and L. M. Hamline for funds advanced in pro- 
tective work last winter. Resolutions of respect were passed in 
memory of Mr. Wolfred N. Low, ex-president of the association, 
whose death occurred during the present year. By vote the Illinois 
State Sportsmen's Association became a member of the National 
Game Bird and Fish Protective Association, id to send five delegates 
and a $5 fee, the delegates to be appointed by the president, secretary 
and board of directors. By vote the rule governing order for shoot- 
ing in association tournament events was changed, the clause on 
"drawing for place" in entry being cut out. Shooting hereafter will 
be "in order of entry," and any shooter must be ready to go to the 
score within five minutes after the calling of his name. 
By vote it was determined to make next year's programme explicit 
in explaining that the association had anything whatever to do with 
running the open tournament which always follows the ^association's 
events. 
It was decided on vote to begin next year's tournament on Tuesday 
and not on Monday, thus making only a five days' shoot. Chicago 
was chosen for the meeting place for 1896. Election of officers fol- 
lowed. W. L. Sbepard was re-elected President; Wilson H, Doe, of 
Elgin, was elected First Vice-President; W. H. Harbaugh, of Geneseo, 
Second Vice-President; H. B. Meyers was re-elected Secretary-Treas- 
urer. Votes of thanks were extended the law committee, the donors 
of prizes, and the proprietors of the Sherman House, in whose rooms 
the convention assembled. Adjournment was made after an hour and 
a quarter of brisk work at 10 o'clock— ''The first time in the history 
of the association," as President Shepard remarked. Usually it is 
much later, but, as was mentioned earlier, the association reports pro- 
gress this year. 
Following are the scores of the tournament. The published target 
programme was run off the second day, and repeated from day to day. 
Additional sweeps, in soma cases unimportant, were shot. The last 
two days naturally had small target entries and less important.
