FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June 29, 1895. 
Crystal Lake Tournament. 
Urbana, 111., June 9.— "Pete, what in the name of gin fizz is goin' on 
over there toward town? Did you hear the shootin' yesterday,— bang, 
bang, bang I all day? Jest kinder made my mind wander back to '62, 
when us Indiana boys made a little of that sort of mu ic down at Fort 
Donelson." 
"That was -what was puzzlin' me all day yesterday, Sam ; durned if 
I ever heard such shootin 1 and shootin'. Haven't heard of any rail- 
road strike nur nothin' except a Democratic convention in town yes- 
terday to nominate some 16 to 1 delegates, or something like that. 
Some-one said Col. Purcell wanted them to, and I did allow maybe 
they hadn't done just as the colonel wanted them to, and he had 
called out some of the State soldiers, and was annihilating the hull 
durned community. 
"Well, Sam, I done a little flghtin' 'way back in the sixties myself, 
and I was down on the back forty plowin' corn, and the wind was 
blowin' from towards town, and the way they kept banzin' and bang- 
in' away put me in mind of old times, and got me terrible interested 
to know what was goin' on. It's purty dry plowin', and old Nell's got 
a galled shoulder, and thinks I to myself, I'll jest rest the hosses up a 
bit this afternoon, and walk over to town and find out what's goin' 
on. I started out after dinner to hoof it in and 'long comes a chap going 
the same way and says, 'Hop in,' and I hopped. Told him I was 
goin 1 over to Urbana to investigate all this shootin'; was afraid thar 
was trouble. He laughed and wanted to know if I had not heard any- 
thing of the shootin' match Jud Ayers and Postmaster Bills was gettin' 
up? and kinder all at once I remembered readin' in a paper printed in 
Urbana, that Sam Slick's wife put over a settin' of eggs she sent 
my wife last Thursday, something abou- the second annual tourna- 
ment of the Crystal Lake Gun Club. I just recollected readin' some- 
thin' about the shootin' tournament and a good deal the editor, Tom 
Morgan, said about the 16 to 1 question and 'gold bugs,' and peoples 
wantin' to pay all their debts with half their money. 'Pears to me 
like I never seed a durned editor of a country paper who looked like 
he had half enough of any kind of money. 
"Well, I went up and found out they were shootin' between Urbana 
and Champaign, on the fair ground; and they are havin' a booming 
big time. Got anything perticular to do to-day ? If not, lets go up 
and see 'um shoot; Andy Miller told me— you know Andy who is 
Captain of the club and used to be City Att'y of Urbana— well, that's 
the same fellow — I see you've heard of him, everybody has— he told me 
they were goin' to have some great sbots there to-day and that he, 
Andy, was goin' to show some of the Eastern and Western cracks a 
thing or two about breakin' targets." 
"Now, you've said enough Pete, if Andy said that, the blasted pig- 
weed and pussly ken grow over the corn a foot high. I'm with you 
to see the shootin'. 
"Gee whiz, they hev started the fun, haint they. Pete? There must 
be a dozen or more of 'em up there firing a way. Man] what the deuce 
is that sucker standing out there yellin 'Dead,' 'Lost ?' I haint seen 
anything killed. There, he's called 'lost' tw ice now at the same feller, 
Pete; is his name 'Lost'?" 
"Naw, his name's Geer; he's the jeweler over in Urbana; don't you 
know him? Say, T can tell you a whole lot about who these fellers 
are. I was introduced to lots of 'em yesterday. See that good-look- 
ing chap with the black mustache sitting down by tbe ice-water? You 
do? Well, they told me that was Charlie Budd, of Iowa " 
"Say, Sam, b'gosh, you orter seed him smash them pesky targets. I 
was walkin' along behind him, watchin' him lam it to 'em, and he let 
down the barrels of his gun, and durned if the shell didn't fly out and 
pop me in the neck. Guess the powder hadn't all gone off." 
"Who is thatfeller?" 
"Knew you would ask who he is; everybody knew him Lou Howe 
said before he had been here two hours. That's T. H. Keller, from 
Down East, and the boys all seem to think he's a dandy. 
"Yes, I knew you'd notice him. He's all round, aint he. That's W. 
Tramp Irwin, of Peoria. 
"Say, Sam, jist watch that big bruiser make black smoke out of 
them tarnal saucers; that's Postmaster Bills. Don't he maul 'em! 
No, he don't handsome much, that's a fact, but he sboots quicker than 
the left hind leg of a mule; his name's Charlie Grimm, from Iowa. 
That Keller feller from down East told him yesterday to take 
his mask off, and he wanted to treat the crowd to a chew of them 
fine-cut whiskers of that dude-looking cuss over there, Rhoads, I 
think they call him. He said that tall chap Ruble, of Chicago, never 
would miss shootin' out a race yesterday unless he found a hole to fall 
into. I don't see no hole out there big enough for him to fall into. Do 
you? 
"I guess that's that new-fangled Winchester shotgun, and say, that 
Mr. 'Rex,' of Dayton, Ohio, shows up close to a twenty clip using it, 
don't he? Do you know, Sam, I'll be chopped fer link sausage if these 
Crystal Lake Gun Club fellers don't know how to do a thing or two. 
Here's about seventy-five of these fellows here from all over the 
country." 
• The high and hot dry wind made the shooting difficult and lessened 
the attendance the last day. We had an entry list of sixty the first 
day, fifty-five the second and forty-eight the third. Not a bad num- 
ber. Below are the scores:

The team shoot was won by Seymour Gun Club, six Champaign 
county clubs contesting. This ended our second annual tournament, 
and the boys expressed themselves as having had a good time. It was 
very gratifying to the club members to hear the majority of them 
say, "We will be on hand when the third annual tournament of the 
Crystal Lake Gun Club occurs. 1 ' P. M. 
The Utica Tournament. 
The scores given below were made on the grounds of the Oneida 
County Sportsmen's Club at Utica, N. Y., on June 11 and 12. The at- 
tendance was not large, but the quality of the shooters present was 
of a very high class. In event No. 7, on the first day, out of twelve 
entries, six broke 14, four broke 13, while the other two shooters 
broke 12 and 11 respectively— an average of 84 per cent, for the two 
squads. The following are the

The Worcester Tournament. 
Worcester, Mass., June 14.— The closing tournament of the New 
England Shooting Association was held here to-day under the auspices 
of the Worcester Sportsmen's Club. The attendance was not as large 
as could have been desired. In all other respects the tournament was 
a success, while the averages made by the shooters are seldom sur- 
passed. Among those present were F. N. Hoyle, Sutton ; H. G.Wheeler, 
Westboro; A. R. Dickey, Wellington; W. W. Bennett, Boston; H. M. 
Federhen, Quincy; F. E. Bennett, Boston; William Allison, Bingham; 
Pitkin, Hartford ; C. H. Burbridge, Hartford ; J. F. Mascrof t, Sutton, 
and several of the home club, including A. W. Walls, W. L. Davis and 
C. E. Forehand. 
The weather was absolutely perfect, the heat of the sun being tem- 
pered by a cool breeze that was not strong enough to render the flight 
of the targets erratic. Interest of course centered in the sixth and 
eighth events on the programme— the championship for teams and in- 
dividuals respectively. In the team race a curious mistake occurred. 
After the race had been|shotand the totals added up, the honor of first 
Slace was awarded to the Worcester Sportsmen's Club by a single 
reak. Later in the day it was discovered that an error had been 
made, and that the Worcester and Boston totals were the same. 
Some of the members of the team having gone home, it was impossible 
to shoot off the tie, the decision of the matter being left until some 
future date. The scores in this match— which was shot under these 
conditions, 5 men to a team, 15 targets per man, known angles — were 
as follows:

representing the live-bird championship of the State of Oregon took 
place to-day, Mr. Martin winning the medal after a prolonged struggle 
with Mr. Moore. The medal had previously been won twice by Mr.

No notiee taken of anonymous communications. 
N. K, New York— Will you inform me in your next issue if there 
are any foxes in eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island, and whether 
red or gray, or both? Ans. Both varieties are found in the sections 
named, though the red largely predominates in numbers. 
Mr. Wm. H. Wood's address is desired; and we would thank the 
sender of it. Mr. Wood, it will be remembered, was the pioneer in rod 
fishing for tarpon.
