THE ORBAT TBAM CONTBST, 
Aug. 5.— The heat continued intolerable, the thermometer during 
the day ranging at 95*. As usual upon these grounds a smart breeze 
blew during part of the time, but the air was* laden with heat and 
failed to refresh the sweltering mass of humanity that crowded the 
ground. Of shooters and spectators there were several hundred 
W. B. CLABIDGK AT THE SCOKK. 
present, including a large number of ladies, who held the places of 
honor in the headquarters tent and under the canopies near the 
scoring Ime. It was a beautiful crowd, and one whose presence was 
inspiring to the management and to the shooters participating. Both 
sets of traps were kept busy during the day. In spite ot the heat the 
birds did their part well and straight scores were by no means 
numerous. It was commonly said that any man ought to kill every 
bird he shot at in such weaiher, but not every man did so by any 
means. The sultry and oppressive day did not serve to materially 
lower the spirits of those present, and the time passed by in merri- 
ment and jollity of a quiet sort. Toward evening the heat became 
mitigated Komewhat and the shooting was more enjoyed. The crowd 
Stayed until nearly dusk, reluctant to leave the scei e. After the close 
of the regular events Mrs. Shattuck, of Minneapolis, shot a few birds 
at No. 1 set of traps. She killed 4 out of 5 in very pretty style and 
called forth much applause. 
As mentioned earlier, the 15- bird sweep was earned forward another 
day, and shooting was begun at once on Wednesday morning in the 
team contest, the conditions of which were as follows: Five men 
from any one State (all members of an organized club) to constitute 
a team, no limit to number of teams entering from State, 10 birds per 
man, entrance per team $50, added money per team enteting and 
shooting $50, birds included, 4 moneys. ...... 
The liberal terms of this contest called forth the magnificent entry 
of twenty-eight teams of five men each from all parts ot the country, 
a total of 140 men who put up SIO each on the third day of a live-bird 
shoot in the month of August. We have had no event of any such 
magnitude in live-bird matters in this part of the country. ' This con- 
test attracted a great deal of attention, and was concluded late m the 
day amid the close attention of all who understood the least about 
shooting. The emulation among the diflferent teams was very keen, 
State pride entering into It somewhat as well as the desire to get high 
up in the great purse of $2,450. It was well in the middle ot the after 
noon when matters began to approach a climax in the ceam com est. 
It was rumored about the grounds that no team could go straight, but 
that a possible 49 out of 50 remained for Iowa and Illinois teams, Mr. 
Chas. Griinm for Iowa, and Mr, Chauncey M. Powers for lUinois, stiii 
having to shoot their 10 birds. In order to make the competuu n 
absolutely fair no team shot together, but the squads were broken up 
so that each team member shot with members of teams other than 
his own, and shot 5 birds at each set of traps. This method was 
cer;ainly fair, though it made the shooting appear somewhat compli- 
cated to those not posted in the game. ........ 
At length it was noised about that Grimm was to shoot his score. 
The Iowa veteran stepped to the line as sturdy and self-confident as 
ever Bis friends were around him and behind him, regarding his 
every move with eager interest. In his first 5 there were whispers 
that he was not centering his birds with his first barrel, though he 
mowed them steadily with his second. In his last 5, however, he 
steadied down and shot like a machine, going straight amid great ap- 
plause. Then the scene shifted to No. 3 set of traps, where, amid a 
iquad of other team members, the tall, dark and slender young Deca- 
tur shooter, Mr. Chauncey M. Powers, was called on to shoot the last 
5 birds of his string. He too was surrounded by his friends; the non- 
shooters openly eager and disturbingly apprehensive, the shooting 
friends equally eager, but encouraging hy their stolid silence. Or 
course the squads were shot in rotation, each man shooting 1 bird 
out of 5 in order. This prolonged the finish. As his turn came, Mr, 
Powers stepped to the score quickly and nervously, but without agita- 
tion. He had said to the me mbers of his team, "It those other fellows 
can run 10 straight so can I, and I am going to do it." Each time as 
he stepped to the score he dr led the perspiration on his ungloved right 
hand carefully, and stood with hia gun broken, not inserting the shell? 
until the trapper boys were wtll back from their worK. His coolness 
was good prophecy, and he cut down his birds, none of which were 
very ha'd, in very handsome style until but two remained for hioa to 
shoot at. At this time there was heard along the spectators line, 
which crowded the rail, a certain amount of talk of a sort whic < 
had come ud earlier in the day over this question of the flnish 
between the Illinois and Iowa teams. One lanky individual voiced this 
Inudly in the remark, ' If that man drops one bird, he wiU make about 
K300 for his gang." Another asked him how this was, and he ex- 
plained by showing that if Mr. Powers should drop one bird and throw 
his team in the second place, the two teams could divide all of first 
money and a part of second money among themselves. Mr. Powijrs 
knew this situation perfectly, and indeed it had been recognized IjF 
members of both teams. He must have heard something of tlie talk 
which was going on abL Ut t^le sore at the finish, and if he did the 
situation must have been a peculiarly trying one, for any man is apt 
to miss a bird, and had he dnne so there would have been ugly rumors 
about, although no one in the least acquainted with him or his friends 
upon his team would have entertained the least suspicion of their hon- 
esty, no matter what happened. While some of this talk was going 
on, the artist. Mr Wells, and myf elf were standing back of the score, 
and we had occasion to remark to the lanky individual above men- 
tioned that they could not pile up money enough in front of Chan. 
Powers to m»ke him misi a bird. About this time I heard Tom Mar- 
shall talking behind us (Mr. Marshall, by the way, having lost the only 
hird for the Illinois team through over confidence in the use of his 
second barrel. He had his bird knocked down with the first barrel 
near thelineand it could have been retrieved, but he fired at it on the 
ground with the secemd. missing it, but scaring it over the hne, where 
it died). Mr, Marshall when overheard was talking to some one about 
the situation in progress, and I heard him say, "I will bet you $-300 to 
$100 that Powers kills straight, and if he did not I would bet you all I 
had he did not miss on purpose." ^ , .... , 1 „t 
There was silence when Mr. Powers stepped to the score for his last 
bird. He rubbed his hand on the side of his coat, and quietly dropped 
in his shells. His bird, out of No. 5 trap, tarried an instant and then 
went an easy right-quartering incomer, which he killed in one-two 
order There was a great burst of applause at this, and Mr. Powers 
was very heartily congratulated on his plucky flnish. There was 
much talk upon the grounds of this after the conclusion of the con- 
test, and a great many pointed out with pride the fact that the West- 
ern men had not dropped for place when the opportunity offered. 
One fails to see the pertinence of such pride It is a matter of course 
that gentlemen shooting in competition for money will shoot honest- 
ly. It is not necessary to remind a gentleman that he is a gentleman, 
nor does he need cautioning to be one. Had Mr, Powers been unfor- 
tunate enough to lose his last bird, he would not have received the 
slightest suspicion from anyone who knew him. All of which shows 
the benefit of a clean and gentlemanly record as a man and a shooter. 
Inferentially it shows the disgust in which the public holds any other 
kind of a shooter. , ^ , , v.- j . 
Mr Trotter, who was unfortunate enough to lose the only bird for 
the Iowa team, shot a strong gait, but caught a twisting, left-quarter- 
ing driver which was too much for him. 
It was expected that some of the Eastern teams would go up into 
the money, but Baltimore went to pieces, and New York got two 8a 
and a 9 in her string. The Buffalo Audubons fell down and did not 
get into the money Kentucky shot the strong gait of 45 and yet did 
not get into the money. Second place was shared by Pittsburg s 
team; the Summer Gun Club of Chicago, and the Ohio team, these 
tieing on 48 Capt. Parmalee. of Omaha, escorted a strong team into 
third money with 47. Fourth place on 46 was divided by Kansas City, 
Wisconsin and Garden City team, of Chicago, It is a pretty hot com- 
petition when in a five men team event at 10 birds there are four 
moneys and 45 will not pet a place. Yet there were five ties on 45; 
Ohio No. 2, Ohio No. 3, Kentucky, South Chicago and New York. The 
purse was divided; $980 first money, $740 second money, $435 third 
money, and $345 fourth money. ^ . 
Consideratio interest attached during this team contest to the squad 
of veterans known as the "Old Shooter's" team. Of these the names 
are familiar with the shooting public, Capt, Bogardus once electrified 
the word with his skill. Col Felton is one of our old old-timers, and 
Abner Price, his companion in the Chicago Audubon Club, showed he 
cruld still shoot a bit when he went out with 10 straight, J, J. Klein - 
man is getting along in years now and is well entitled to be called a 
veteran of the gun. J. E, Price is also one of the familiar faces at 
Chicago traps. ^ , . ^ ... .. u m 
The Kentucky team might have done better had it not been for an 
accident which occurred to Mr. Watson's gun. A hit of primer blew 
back into the Icck and the gun would not stand cocked. He took up 
another gun and lost 3 birds with it, , ^ „ .. ^ . 
This learn contest was admirably conceived and well executed, and 
constituted an event of great shooting interest. 
It now appearing that th- programme could be shot through, it was 
resolved to take up on Thursday the unshot 15 bird sweep and the 
grand Championship Handicap for the trophy.
