The Chamberlln Touraament.

annual blaerock lournanient eiveD_ by tbe Ohambfrlin Cartridge & 
Target Co.,etded jes.erday ia a mo&t flattering and sa'.isfactory

The tournamerit was held on the grounds cf the Clevelacd Gun 
Club, nn organizatioti having a metDberstiip of about 100 prominett 
spor'smen. The grounds are easi'y reached by electric cars; af t« r 
slightins at Kershaw avenue one walks abou'. two squares to the foot 
of the street where a long Ptfep oairof stfp< lead to the club grounds 
proper, situated on a hi?h plaii au and being In extent some tweniy 
acres. A 6ft. cinder path leads due sou' h from the steps to one of 
the largest, handsojnest and best finished club houses in th's country. 
It is of three stories, painted aricb warm ye Ilowand finished tbroiigh- 
outin hard wood, with an abundance of closet", gun racks, chairs 
and other necessary qualities. Large porches extend from one end 
to the other on both the first and second floors. ^ 
The upper story is occupied by William Cottshottand family, hav- 
ing charge of the property and being constantly oh hand, so that 
members or their friends can have a day's sport at any time. 
Running north and south some little distance frotn the club house 
stands a long structure or shed in the shape of a crescent, covered 
wirh a corrug-ited iron roof which completely protects shooters from 
incleinent weather. In the center of each end small rooms have been 
built for the use of trap-puller, scorer, etc. In fact, all arrangements 
are complete. ;Two magautraps were in constant use during the shoot 
and gave perfect saiisfac:ion, very few targets breaking in the traps; 
and never at any time was the shoot delayed by reason of breakdowns, 
or from any other cause. A description of ihe surroundings i^ abso- 
lutely necessary, as it is the only thing which tends to mar the other- 
wise perfect location. Shooters face almost due east and mu«t con 
tend with a background composed of heavy trees of various sizes and 
shapes, above which issue dense volumes of inky black smoke from 
the immense plant of the Cleveland KoUing Mill Co., a concern em- 
ploying in the neighborhood of 8,000 tpen. 
Paul North was tireless in his efforts tfl make everything pleasant 
for the visitors and at the same time preventany unnecessary delays 
How well he succeeded can best; be attested by the face that after the 
first gun was fired in the morning there was not a break until all 
events were flnisiied. As soon as one squad wotild finish shooting 
the next one would take their places, and thus it continued for the 
three days Another pleasant feature was the complete absence of 
any kifking over decisions, scores or anything else. 
J. E Brocklesby, compiler of scores, had a private oflBee on the 
second floor of the club house, and his work was executed in such a 
neat and systematic manner that every one made favorable com- 
ments, Messrs. J. H. Webster and James Mitchell had charge of the 
cashier's office, both gentlemen being exceedingly courteous, dis- 
charging their duties perfectly, and making many friends William 
fotlshott refereed at the No. 1 trap, bis decisions being so equitable 
that no objections were heard during the three oays. E.J Bissett, 
siJperintendent of the Chamberlin cartiidge factory, acted as puller. 
JS'o 2 trap was most excellently managed by popular Charles North, 
referee, md Al Barton, superintendent of the Chamberlin target 
factory, acting as puller A W. Jenkins, the inventor of the maeau- 
trap, was constantly on hand in case his services should be rfqiiired, 
which was very seldom, consequem ly his hands were not even soiled 
daring the entire shoot The traps worbed perfectly, so that his 
smile of triumph is justifiable. So much for the general description 
of location, appointments, eic. 
Among the visitors from out of town were noticed the following 
formidable iLst: C. Grimm, 0. Budd, F. Gilbert, H. FMcJiurchy (Hunter

First Day. June J 6; 
The first day opened dark and sultry, threatening rain; but toward 
noon a s.rong lake breeze sprung up, and the atmosphere cleared, so 
that the afternoon was delightful. Hundreds of visitors were present, 
among them many ladies, who keenly enjoyed the sport. Seventy- 
three men participated in the first event, and the list of entries aver- 
aged that number during the day. Eighteen men were classifipd as 
experts, or manufacturers' representatives, who had to pay gl per 
day extra for the privilege of shooting, viz.: Thursby, Gilbert, 
Wneeler, McMurchy, Crosby, Heikes. Fulford, Glover, Fanning, 
Grimm, Budd, R. Trimble, Wicstcn, Van Dyke, Rike, Courtney, Parker 
and Parks. 
Thursby was high on average with Vict ou • of 140. Followed by Gil- 
bert with ya, Whetler with 131, McMurcny 13U, and Crosby 189. 
FoUowi g are the scores; Asteri-ks back of name designating those 
who paid $4 extra each day. All targets used through the tourna- 
ment were bluerocks.

One hundred and forty targets constituted the day's programme. 
Shooting commenced at about 9 A. M , and at 5 P. M. all events were 
finished, which recorded a day of trap-shooting sellorn equaled in 
point of attendance, freedom from mishap and those disagreeable 
bicKerings incidental o the average tournament. 
Iq events 1, 8, 3, 4. 5, 6. 7 and 8 the money was divided into five 
purses, while in the ?5-bird event there were half as many |5 purses 
as tbere were entries. 
Second Day, Thursday, June 1 7. 
The second day opened anything but favorable, in fact, a number 
grumbled that just at this particular time buch weather snould pre- 
vail The sky was a dull leaden hue, with heavy clouds banging 
overhead, but, like the previous day, a strong breeze sprung up, and 
made pleasant shooting in the afternoon. The heavy black smoke 
from the rolling mill hung like a pall in the eastern horizon, which 
seemed to swallow the targets immediately afrer leaving the traps. 
However, some most excellent scores were made. 155 targets consti- 
tuting the programme Grimm won high average, scoring 146, Gilbert 
and Upson second with 145 each; Thursby and Hood third, with 144; 
Crosbv, Glover and Fulford, fourth, 143; McMurchy and Heikes, 
fifth, 142. 
The amateurs' averages were won by Red Wing. 140; Shorty 1.S9, 
Young 13S; E Trimble, Forrester and Lane, 137; Goss and Gambell, 
rm 
In events Nos 3 and 6 for the Diamond trophy watch charms, do 
nated respectively by the Du Pont and Hazard Powd-^r companies* 
there was lively competition. In No. 3 Crosby, Thursby and Parker 
tied with 25 slraight The programme stated that all ties on the tro- 
phies would be shot oil in the rext regular event. Parker and Crosby 
each scored 12 out of 15, and Thursby scored straight, which entitled 
him to the prize. Parker objected, stating that he did not under- 
stand it that way, and it was finally agreed to shoot off the tie af ler 
the regular events. Parker makihg the best score and taking the 
trophy In event No. 6 Shorty, C. Ross, Fulford, Crosby, Bower, 
Hood, Sdow, Gilbert and Parker tied on 24. Parker, having won the 
Du Pont trophy, was not eligible for this one, and did not take part in 
tbe shoot-off, which was won by Fulford.

Upson and Hcod having scored over 91 per cent, yesterday, moved 
up into the |4 class. Money divided as on the preceding day. 
Third Day, Friday. June 18. 
The third day was an ideal one for target shooting. The sky was 
clear and perfect, a gentle breeze stirring, but not enough to affect 
the targets in their flight. On this day the place was crowded with 
spectators, much interest being manifested in the races for the 
Hazard and Du Pont Diamond trophies at 25 targets. The first race 
for the Hazard orize resultea in a tie on 24 between Glover, Heikes 
Henry, Budd McMurchy and Thursby. In shooting off the tie in the' 
next event Heikes scored straight and won the handsome emblem. 
In the next 35-btrd race for the Pu Pont diamond loeliet Messrg. Red- 
wing. Rike, SprosB. Grimm and Thursby tied on 85 straight. In shoot- 
ing off it was holly contested for. Redwing and Thursby out shoot- 
ing all others aird tying each other a number of times before a de- 
cision was reachpd. Thursby finally winning by 1 bird. Following

Champions and Trophies. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
About two weeks since the public interested in shoo*ing matters 
were treated to a dissertation upon championship tropbies, criticism 
of Dr. W. P. Carver, the advertisine of J, A. R. Elliott and a very 
mild attempt to discredit a world's championship emblem to-dar 
prominently before the shooters of the world, known as the Du Pont 
smokeless powder championship trophy. 
While the writer has no wish, and in fact, does not propose to en- 
gage m a controversy with Messrs. James w hitfleld or J A R. Elliott, 
he begs to ask of these gentlemen that they confine themselves in 
their challenges and criticisms to those wno have willingly given 
offense. 
The letter of Mr. Whitfield opens the way for a peculiar style of 
controversy which Elliott is not slow to avail himself of, and since to 
the writer's certain knowledge the ElUott article was prepared before 
the Whitfield article appeared in print, the 8u^picion is not unreason- 
able that both were born at the same time and should acknowledge 
the same parent. 
It is not my purpose to offer anything in d'fenae of Dr W. F. Car- 
ver That gentleman is thoroughly capable of defendmg himself with 
either pen or shotgun, This faci has been demonstrated 
The trophy, of which Mr Elliott has so much to say. appeared upon 
the firmament in 18i-6, and, if Mr Whitfield is correct, "entries ninn- 
bered over fifty," and at the last open contest for this trophy, held 
in Kansas City "m May. there were sixty-three contestants for the 
trophy." 
It would further appear that there has been but two challenges to 
individual contestants for posses'^ion of this cup Mr. Whitfield boasts 
of this record, and criticises the Du Pont trophy as being handicapped 
by certain rules, which it would appear that neither he nor certain 
other gentlemen approved 
Now, let us look at the record of this Du Pont trophy, so alarm- 
ingly troublesome to Mr. Elliott and his immediate following. 
It was offered at an open contest at Baltimore, Md., in October, '95. 
The rules and conditions governing open contest and governing suc- 
cessful winner or h-^lder are known to the shooting public and ne^ 
not be discussed at this lime The entries in the contest for fhls 
trophy at Bahimore numbered fifty three, Mr. Fred Gilbert, of Spirit 
Lake, la , winning I'pon a straight score of .30 Mr, Gilbert was chal- 
lenged t-y George Deiter. contest taking place unonBurnside grounds 
of John Watson, this city, Deiter winning. Gilbert promptly chal- 
lenged; match was shot at Milwaukee. Gilbert again obtained pos- 
session of this world's championship trophy, defended it against I. 
W. Budd. Peraberton, N. J , and turned it in for the Du Pont tourna- 
ment in August of '96. 
On Thursday, Aug 6, 1896. at 10 o'clock, began the second annual 
contest for possession of the Du Pont smokeless powder champion- 
ship trophy with 335 contestants, Mr Bert W. Claridge, Baltimore 
carrying trophy back to Baltimore, there defending it in contest with 
J C. .M alone; was next challenged by George Roll, Blue Island. Dl., 
who defeated Claridge, again bnnging trophy to Chicago. Mr J W. 
Winston next challf-nged for trophy defeating Mr Roll; was in turn 
challenged by George H Mosher, of Syracuse, N. Y , contest tafcing 
place at Zwiilein's grounds in New Jersey Winston retaining pos- 
session, was again challenged by Chas. W Budd, Des Moines, la. 
Contest occurred at Watson's Burnside grounds, Chicago; Budd vic- 
torious, next accepted challenge from George Beck, Indianapolis, 
Ind.. successfully defending his title to the trophy, holds it to-day. 
The Du Pont trophy has thus made a record, of which its donors 
are justly proud Its banner has never been trailed in the dust; so 
far as intrinsic value is concerned, it in worth a carload of alleged 
trophies, and to the winner and successful holder as much money, no 
doubt, as any trophy ever placed in existence. 1 
I have an interest in common with every other gentleman who de- 
sires and is willing to labor for the elevation of trap shooting as a 
gentlemanly sport, and no sympathy whatever with the twaddle of 
self-styled ■ Champion of Champions" or promoter who would seek 
to couple trap shooting and pri^e fighting interests 
Concluding, let me say that the Du Pont trophy was offered in good 
faith by as generous a firth of manufactiu'ers as ever offered a good 
article to the public, who in the naming of conditions suited their 
own pleasure, and were governed only by an honesty of purpose to 
bring together the gentlemanly wing shots of the world in an honor- 
abla contest; the result of which must necessarily be creditable to 
the winner The result of the efforts of the donors of this cup, 
Messrs E I Du Pont de Nemours & Co., of Wilmington, Del., has 
been beyond criticism and has established a record that they may 
well feel proud of e. S. Kica;.
