Elkwood Park's New Shootins: Grounds. 
Our visit to Elkwood Park on Tuesday, Oct. 20, was extremely well- 
timed. We had started originally with a view to witnessing the 
Winston-Hoey match, and incidentally looking over the plans for 
some new shooting grounds at Elkwood, which we had been told were 
about to be laid out by Phil Daly, Sr., of Long Branch, N. J. We had 
no idea that the grounds were so far advanced in course of construc- 
tion that nothing, practically speaking, beyond the erection of the 
new club house is needed before live-bird shooting can be pursued on 
the best planned grounds in this or any other country. We say "best 
planned" advisedly, for, barring one small item which we shall refer 
to later on, the new grounds at Elkwood Park will be perfect, nothing 
having been left to chance. 
THB "CLOVKR-LBAF FIKLD." ^ 
In FoRBST AND Stream of Aug. 29 our Chicago correspondent, Mr; 
Hough, gave under the head of "Three New Ideas" a plan for laying 
our three sets of traps in the shape of a clover leaf. The publication 
of this plan, together with the cut illustrating the idea, was undoubt- 
edly a prime factor in the present movement at Elkwood Park. The 
idea was not altogether a new one, for a similar scheme, only for a 
four-leafed system of grounds, has been mooted many times during the 
past few years. The promoters suggested a club house in the middle of 
four sets of traps, one on each side of the house, thus insuring a 
straightaway wind on one set, no matter from what quarter of the 
ELRWOOD PAKE AND IIS SEW SHOOTINQ GROUNDS. 
heavens the wind blew. Members of the club and their guests, when- 
ever a match was in progress, were to reach the club house by means 
of a well-lighted ttumel. 
There is also, we beUeve, a diagram of some such scheme hanging 
now, where it has hung for years, on the walls of the Eiverton Gun 
Club's house at Riverton, N. J. 
The above schemes, however, brought forth little else than talk. It 
has remained for Mr. Phil Daly, Sr., and his son, Phil Daly, Jr., to be 
the first to go to work and lay out a real clover-leaf field after 
the plan so graphically described in Forest and Stream of Aug. 39 of 
this year. 
A FIFTEEN-ACRE LOT PURCHASED. 
The proprietors of Elkwood Park realized that some such shooting 
grounds were needed, and that when once established there would 
always be a chance for any one desiring t" shoot a match to get a 
suitable pftce for deciding it at the shortest possible notice. Around 
New York there are not many such places. As a matter of fact, 
shooters from this city and vicinity are none too well provided for in 
this respect. To lay out such a set of traps on the clover-leaf plan 
requires ample space; it actually takes about fifteen acres to do it 
properly. Accordingly Mr. Daly spent a good many dollars in getting 
possession of a plot of fifteen acres that lies to the west of Elkwood 
Park, but adjoining that property. It is on that fifteen acres that is 
now located the "clover leaf." 
The accompanying diagram wUl explain thoroughly to those who 
were present at the last Grand American Handicap, held in March, 
1896, at Elkwood Park, the exact location of this tract of fifteen acres. 
On it will be noticed the grand stand, the old shootins grounds where 
the Grand American was actually decided, the Elkwood Inn, and 
other famihar landmarks, such as the stables for trotting stock, etc. 
We do not boast that the plan is drawn accurately — that is, so many 
feet to the inch— but we do brag that it will convey an excellent Idea 
of the present new grounds and their locatioa to any one who has 
visited Elkwood Park. 
THE CLUB HOUSE. 
Although the grounds are not in working order, and although it is 
not proposed to open them before Dec. 1 at the earliest, they are so 
far advanced that every little detail can be seen. No start has been 
made on the club house, but probably before this reaches our renders 
ground will have been broken for its foundations. The builBing itself 
will be absolutely perfect, every desire of a shooter having been 
thought out and provided for. We were amazed when we realized 
the completeness of detail with which the Messrs. Daly, Sr. and Jr., 
and Harry Ohanfrau had planned the interior fittings of this large 
building. The total floor space of the building, which is to be two 
stories high, will be about lO.SSOsq. ft. ! That is S.HOsq. ft, on each floor. 
In addition to this there is ample space left for a wide piazza, to run 
the entire length of the building, facing the three sets of traps. The 
front of the building wUl practically be all glass. There will be a 
wide exit on each side immediately in front of the score at each set of 
traps; the distance from these exits to the score respectively in front 
of each door wiU be just 40ft., scarcely enough for a shooter to get 
moist in a heavy downpour. Gun racks and lockers will be a promi- 
nent feature on the first floor, plenty of accommodation in these re- 
spects being supplied, however large the attendance. 
Eetiring rooms for ladies and for gentlemen ; lavatories fitted with 
'the best sanitary plumbing; telephonic and telegraphic communica- 
tion with any point on the world's surface; press room, restaurant, 
baths, a cashier's office, with a railing in front of it, hke a well-ap- 
pointed ticket office in one of the trunk line stations of America's 
great railroad system; in fact, everything that can be thought of has 
been arranged for on the plans. On the second floor there is ample 
accommodation for spectators. Bo much for the club house. 
NO DELAY IN FILLENQ TRAPS. 
The method that will be adopted for trapping the birds wlU astonish 
anyone who has never seen the underground system adopted at Kan- 
sas City, Mo. All the birds will be trapped from underneath by trap- 
pers who will be unseen by the shooters or spectators. A deep trench , 
some 6J^f t. deep by 4ft. wide, has been dug under the line of each set 
of five traps. This trench has been carefully boarded up, both top 
and sides, with stout planking. In this trench is located the trapper 
or trappers, supplied with several crates of birds. Down in this cel- 
lar-like place both trappers and birds will be actually warmer in win- 
ter and cooler in summer than if placed above the ground. The filling 
of each trap as soon as sprung, even if No. 1 is sprung immediately No. 
5 has been filled, takes such a short space of time that 150 birds an 
hour is not an impossibility if the shooters can only be gotten to the 
score to shoot as fast. 
THE DOa AND THE DEAD BIRDS OUT OF SIGHT. 
To the right of each score is another cellar-like excavation. In this, 
sheltered from the view of shooter or spectators, stands the handler 
and the dog that is to retrieve the dead birds. The ground in front is 
out away, making a grade, enabling the dog to get out easily, and also 
permitting it to see the bird as soon as it leaves the trap. After re- 
trieving the bird the dog comes back to the handler, and the dead 
birds are laid out to cool off before packing, out of sight of spec- 
tators, etc. 
' EVERY MAK HIS OWN TRAPPER. 
By a series of strong railings, everyone except referee, scorer, 
puller and shooter is kept well away from the score. An automatic 
pulling apparatus will be in position, and each shooter as he steps to 
the score will give the wheel a turn, thus setting the combination, 
which is absolutely unknown to him or the actual puller. 
It will thus be seen that the Messrs. Daly and their manager, Harry 
Chanf rau, have thought of and provided for everything that can be 
devised to make pigeon shooters happy and sure of a fair deal and 
quick trapping. The only unfortunate thing in the whole matter, the 
item which we referred to earlier, is the fact that it was impossible, 
owing to the lay of the ground, to face one set of traps to the north 
instead of to the south. This, however, is a small matter ; much smaller 
than it would be usually, as the prevailing winds in the fall, winter and 
spring are favorable to driving birds from traps that face slightly to • 
the south. 
THE APPROACH TO THE GROUNDS IS SAFE. 
It Will be noticed on the diagram that the road to the grounds from 
the inn takes a turn to the right in front of the manager's house, and 
then follows the northern boundary fence until it is in a straight line 
with the north end of the club house. By following this road shooters 
and their friends will be out of all danger of being peppered, as a rise 
in the ground acts as a natural screen from all stray pellets of shot, • ( 
To make access to the Elkwood Park grounds as easy as possible, 
all trains on the N. Y. & Long Branch R, R. will stop to set down or 
take up passengers on the trains that run over this line. A platform 
and a shelter, perhaps a station, will be built to accommodate such 
passengers. 
Thus are the shooters of New Jersey being provided for. 
Edward Banks, 
Greensburg Gun. Club. 
Greensburo, Ind., Oct. 23.— The Greensburg Gun Club, one of the 
strongest as well as one of the most popular organizations of the 
kind in this State, held its second annual tournament on Wednesday 
and Thursday, Oct. 14-15, at Its park to the northwest of the city. 
The weather was fine for shooting, with the exception that a portion 
of each day the wind blew quite hard. Taking it all in all, the bright 
October sun, shedding its warmth and glory over the beautiful land- 
scape, made the ground a scene of surpassing beauty, and furnished 
an excellent background for the sport. The club had made perfect 
arrangements. Two sets of expert traps and electric pulls were used, 
and here was the only trouble. One of the pulls, although new, hav- 
ing just been received only a day or two before, worked very 
poorly from the beginning and finally had to be discarded. This 
was quite annoying to the club, but the shooters seemed to take 
it with the best of feeling, all seeming to recognize that such 
accidents will happen, and that the club had done all that was in their 
power to do in the matter. The programme for the two days con- 
tained twenty events, and these, together with a number of extras on 
the first day, were disposed of in regular order, there being as many 
as thirty shooters in a number of the events. The interest of the 
participants and spectators centered in the badge event on the second 
day. In this event there were twelve entries, and some fine scores 
were made— 0, D. Tillson, of the Greensburg Club, winning with a 
score of 49 out of 50. This badge is a handsotne $100 trophy, emble- 
atic of the amateur championship of Indiana, and is contested for 
annually on the Greensburg Gun Club grounds under the following 
rules and conditions: "The contest for this badge is open to all ama- 
teurs of the State. The contest will take place annually on the 
grounds of the Greensburg Gun Club, and will consist of 50 targets per 
contestant, known traps and known angles, the club to receive 40 per 
cent, of the entrance money, the balance to be divided 40, 30, 20B,nd 10. 
Ties for first place will be governed by the American Association 
rules. No charge will be made for targets in this event, except for 
shooting off ties." 
The fact that the trophy was won by a home man was the cause of 
general rejoicing upon the part of the local club, and the visitors all 
were delighted with the splendid showing made by the victor. 
Among the visitors were the following; H, T. Hearsey, George 
Beck, Royal Robinson, E. H. Tripp, J. W. Cooper, Dr. Charles Everts, 
of Indianapolis; H. E. Norton, of Ironton, O.; R. L. Trhnble, of Cin- 
cinnati, representing the Du Pont Powder Company; Frank Smith, 
Brookville; George Schwartzkopt, Jr., F. Thomas and Dr. Rolland, of 
Columbus, Ind.; J. B. Stipps, Bedford; Jacob Kirsch, Aurora; Frank

of the participants, but the following scores speak for themselves:

Des Moines Gun Club's Annual. 
Des Moines, la., Oct. 23.— The annual tournament of the Des 
Moines Gun Club, Oct. 20-22, closed to-day. The attendance was not 
large in numbers, but was made good by the interest taken by those 
who were present. The weather was fine and the shooting by a number 
of the contestants was well up. Two sets of target traps were used; 
one set threw known angles and the other unknown angles. The 
targets were thrown about eOyds. Those who reached 90 per cent . 
were few in number. 
Among the noted shots from abroad were: S. A. Tucker, represent- 
ing the Parker gun; Herman C. Hirschy, of the Robin Hood Powder 
Co. ; C M. Grimm, Fred Gilbert, Dr. Kibby, J. Kibby, Deusel, Abbott, 
Lane; Woodbury, from Marshalltown; Parmelee and Brucker, Omaha: 
J. Van Emmon, Geo. Peterson, Harkins, Cottrell, Gittens, Hoffman, 
Geo. Hughes, Taylor, Day, Cole, Correy, Frankie and Schales. 
The best averages for the three days were: Budd first, with 95.1; 
Gilbert second with 94.1, Grimm third with 91.1, Parmelee fourth with 
88.1. On the second day of the shoot O. W. Budd shot at 141 targets 
and live birds, losing his 104th target, making an average of better 
than 99 per cent, for the day. 
The last day Marshalltown and Des Moines had a team shoot for the 
Shooting and Fishing State championship cup, 5 men on each team, 
80 singles and 10 pairs to each man. Marshalltown won by 1 bird. 
Their many friends congratulated them on their success. One of the 
features of the tournament was Tucker vs. Hughes, or gold and 
silver. Hughes is a large, strong man, but Tucker landed him in the 
42d round. Every one knows that Tucker is a talker from 'way back, 
and the writer never saw him put out but once, when Ed Rike put 
him out in the 51st round at Atchison, Kan., last April.
