FOREST AND STREAM. 
LSept. 5, 1896. 
South Side Gun Club, of Chicago. 
Ohioaoo, Aug. 92.— Editor Forest and Stream: Oolya few days 
ago our mutual friend aud shooter F. P. Stannard, formerly of Mil- 
waukee, now of Chicago, conceited the idea that a friendly contest 
at the traps in a team race with the South Side Gun Club, of Mil- 
waukee, would prove Interesting as well as agreeable; hence he set 
about to round up, and with the assistance of Mr. De Wolf was able 
to start by the steamer from Chicago on Friday evening with nine 
men, some of whom had the company oC their wives. 
The greater part of the evening on the boat was spent in singing. 
All retired early, and awoke to find themselves on boat tied to dock 
in Milwaukee. The following members of the South Side Gun Club, 
Henry Seifert, John Burnham, Thos. Grant, Adolph Gropper and 
Dr. J. P. Carmichael, were on hand and relieved the boys of their 
guns, shells, etc., transferring them to the depot of the railroad pre- 
paratory to eolng to the grounds. Arrangements had previously 
been made for breakfast, and the party were escorted to the St. 
Charles Hotel, where a bountiful supper of good things was par- 
taken of. 
At 9 o'clock the team was taken for the grounds, which are located 
at Lake, on the C. M. & H. P. Road, seven miles south of Milwaukee. 
Shooting commenced immediately tm arrival and continued during 
the day until train time in the evening; the only lull the entire day 
was when first call came for dinner, which was served in the spacious 
dining room of the mala building. Here is where the straight scores 
were made with the utmost ease. 
Among those present were the 2-men teams from Columbus, Wis., 
and Ooonomowoc, of the Wisconsin League, who contested for the 
Burnham and Pflster medals. 
After dinner there followed the team race between the South Ride 
Gun Club, of Milwaukee, captained by Henry Seifert, and the Eureka, 
of Chicago, captained by F. P. Stannard; 9 men on each team, 50 tar- 
gets, 25 known and 35 unknown. 
Much interest was shown by those present on account of closcn^s, 
and was won by the Eurekas only by hard work. 
On the announcement of the result, the boys of the South Side Club 
sent up three hearty cheers and a tiger for Chicago. 
The day's sport ended with a snipe shoot of singles and doubles 
which created no end of merriment among the participants. 
All returned to their homes well satisfled. 
A return match, to be shot in Chicago, is looked forward to with 
great pleasure.

The Binghamton Tournament. 
BiNQHAMTON. N. Y., Aug. 27.— Favored by fine weather, the loyal 
support of the home shooters and a few visitors, the tournament 
which closed to-day can be voted a success. The weather on the first 
day was perfect for target shooting, and scores ruled high consider- 
ing that there were no professionals present, this being an amateur 
shoot. On the second day a high wind prevailed and played havoc 
with the totals. Rain fell that night, but it cleared toward morning, 
and a brisk northwest wind blowing made it an Ideal day for live-bird 
shooting. The birds were furnished by Louis C. Kistner, of Balti- 
more, and were an excellent lot. George Mosher, of Syracuse, did 
some great shooting, scoring 63 out of hia 67 birds. Kendall was also 
in good form and dropped only fi, Adams being 1 behind him with 58 
out of 67. All shooting was at SOyds. rise. 
Among the visitors were: Willard A. Adams, of Chicago; George 
Corning, Jr., and Knapp, of Auburn; McOormick, of Ithaca; George 
Mosher, of Syracuse; Ripley, of Ovvego; Paddleford, of Sherburne, 
and Brush, of Susquehanna. The Ro=e system was used in the division 
of all purses and gave perfect satisfaction. Scores of the three days 
follow:

Bass and Trout. 
Ma. W. B. KmsKKRN, Gsneral Passenger Agf^nt of the Chicago & 
Northwesft'^rn RaUivay, sends us the following letter from Mr. W. M. 
Brinkerhoff. of Auburn, N. Y., written under date of Aug. 15: 
"My Dear Sir: I send you by tnis samples of some of the pictures I 
took while In the vicinity of Camp Franklin, Wisconsin. My trip from 
Chicago via the Northwestern to Woodruff, thence by wagon 
twelve miles to Camp Franklin, was thrronghly comfortable «nd en- 
joyable. I went up there this year for bass —black bass— and, like the 
i \ke trout fishing the last time I was there, I beat all previous records. 
There are lots of lakes in the vicinity of t)imp Franklin that are filled 
with black bass to overflowing. I fished four days on Palette Lake 
(r>r you might ciU it a pond), about one mile long and a quarter of a 
mile wide, and caught; nearly 500 black ba,ia in that time; but I let 
most of them go, as I was too far away to take them out of the woods. 
IE any of your friends are fond of that siad of Ashing, and want to get 
at it quick and have lots of it while they are at it, send them to Camp 
Franklin and have them get one of the guides that I had, either Judd, 
Blaisdell or Alexander Gilliea, and have him take them to Palette Lake, 
and thev will forget for the time being everything except the genuine 
pleasure that is incidental to black bass flabing on that beautiful sheet 
of water. In order to be cerrain of securing accommodations and 
guides ihey should write in advance to Mr. C. J. Coon, Camp Frank- 
Un, Woodruff, Wise jnsin."— ^dv.

have postponed their summer's outing.
