FOREST AND STREAM, 
[Jtoy 31, 1897. 
Fulford's tQ "Charley and Mac." 
Utica, N. Y., July 24 — Editor Forest and Stream: Will you permit 
me a few words in reply to the statements of C. E. WUIard and also 
the recent utterances of Harvey McMurchy with respect to profes- 
sional shooters? 
Who will gainsay the fact that it was largely through the efforts of 
paid profc^siOHBl shootprs and expert amateurs, together with the 
masterhand of McMurchy. that placed his gun where it is to-day? L. 
C. Smith was, without doubt or question. thf< most astute gun manu- 
facturer of his day. and he early saw the advantage of a paid pro- 
fessional shooter to advertise his gun. I trust that Mr. McMurchy, 
after enjoying the field almost alone all these years, is not now get- 
ting afraid of competition. 
Will Messrs. "Willard and McMurcli.y kindly come fonrard and tell 
us when trap-shooting was ruined, and who did the deed? Again Mr. 
Willard says, after proposing the establishment of shooting parks. 
"We believe with this arrangement, and with targets and shells sold 
at a minimum price, that th<>re would soon be as much shooting as 
there was a lew years back." Why, bless your soul, Charley, don't 
yod know that there was never as much trap-shooting done in the 
history of the world as is done now ? Asb the target manufacturers; 
ask the shell trade; ask the powder men; and with one unanimous 
voice they will tell you that their business is increasing in a large 
ratio every year. The people who talk about the ''good old times" 
are the ones who, in the "good old times." had the professional 
field to themselves, and reaped all the benefit Now I contend 
that professionalism has not hurt Irap-shooiing at all; it has 
helped it in the way of introducing better guns, loads and me- 
thods in shooting; and if the big tournaments are not now 
the successes they once were, the cause can be looked for in the 
general depression and not as a result of professional shooters. The 
men who formerly went a hundred miles to a tournamen' now do the 
same amount of shooting on their own club's grounds That profes- 
sional shooters are not responsible is proven by the fact that strictly 
amateur shoots are not as well patronized as open shoots. Stripped 
of its mask, this wail is simpl.y the cry of the old commercial drum- 
mer professional shooter, who sees his preserves invaded by men 
whose only business it is to advertise goods instead of both advertis- 
ing and selling. Shooting is not going to the dogs, and if not a single 
big tournament were to be held next year in this country, there 
would notwithstanding be five times as many targets thrown as in the 
"good old days" when a half dozen men had things all their 
own way. "But." says Willard, "by this I mean that where 
there are now ten professional shooters employed, there will be 
but one when the trap-shooting season opens in 1898. Mac and I have 
talked this over, and we are both of the same opinion that this is the 
only way in which the good old days can be brought back " But why 
the one professional shooter, Charley? Why not abolish them all? 
Or is it that you mean that only yoii and Mac are to be left to reap 
the harvest, as you did in "the good old days?" Of course, if you 
can bar out Heikes, Glover, Gilbert, Parmelee, Winston, Budd, 
Brewer, Elliott and many others, and only leave in the business those 
whose business it is to sell to the trade,' then, no doubt, It would be 
''good old days" for Charley and Mao. 
But the real fact about the matter is that the manufacturers, 
whose trade has been doubled many times over by the efforts of these 
men, will quite likely have something to say as to whom they will 
employ in 1898. E. D. FuI/Pord, 
Elliott versus Grimm • 
Kmhsas Gnv, Mo., July Editor Forest and Stream: I readily 
note in several sporting papers, the desire of Mr. E. S. Rice to appear 
as the backer of Mr. 0. M. Grimm, of Clear Lake, la., m a series of 
three matches, and I am willing to concede him the advantage of 
even naming all the grounds the matches are to take place on. Am 
glad to see Mr. Rice desires a test of skill on good pigeons, although 
I have noticed, when two men desire to shoot a pigeon match, the 
conditions of the pigeons were as equally fair for one man as another, 
at any season of the year. There has also be(=n. for a number of 
years, a class of shooters— during the months of July and August— 
•who were usually redhot for a match, but who can never be confined 
in one until the fall of the year, when birds are good ; at which time 
a necessary postponemPBt extends the time until spring, when the 
challenges become obliterated by the spring rains and have to be 
renewed again through tbe press columns. It is now my purpose to 
accommodate each one's particular fancy. 
With a few modiflcatioDs and conditions. I will accept Mr. Rice's 
challenge on behalf of Mr. Grimm, and I will first meet Mr. Grimm 
at St. Louis, Mo., Saturday. Oct. 2, at 2 P. M.; second, at Omaha, 
Neb , Wednesday, Oct. 6, at 2 P. M. ; third, at Chicago, 111 , Saturday, 
Oct 9, at 2 P. M. Each individual match lo be at one hundred (100) 
pigeons each man, for one hundred dollars ($100) a side; American 
Association rules; thirty (30) yards rise. Matches to be shot to a 
finish the same day, daylight permitting, with a side bet of two hun- 
dred dollars ($200) a side on the man killing the highest number in 
the three matches. The fifty ($50) dollars forfeit to become a part of 
the stake of the last race, provided the former conditions have been 
complied with. The loser of each match to pay for the pigeons shot 
at by each contestant; also a gate receipt of fifty (50) ceucs to be col- 
lected from every visitor, including principals and their backers. 
The total amount collected to be turned over to the referee and be- 
come a part of the stake, going to the contestant winmng that day's 
contest. Mr. Rije being the challenger, is at each point he has 
named, to fui-nish inclosed grounds free of charge, further providing 
Al, first-class pigeons of which he speaks, at a nominal price, not to 
exceed twenty -five (25) cents each. If surface or' ground traps are 
used, the two hundred (200) selected pigeons which we are to shoot at 
are to be plscefl in coops and trapped therefrom, in plain view of 
both contestants. Not caring to lay out of the use of so much money 
as Mr. Rice has put up, and considering fifty dollars (Sii50) a sufiQcient 
guarantee of a m^n's good faith, I have forwarded to Mr. John 
Watson, Grand Crossing, Dl , that amount, naming him ns the holder 
of final stake and forfeit. Next! J. A. R. Elliott.

Limited Gun Club's Summer Meeting^. 
Indianapolis, Ind., July 8.— The summer meeting of the Limited 
Gun Club, which closed to day. was "the hottest ever was." At the 
coolest place on the wide veranda of the club house the mercury was 
crowding the 100 mark, while down town the intense heat was hourly 
claiming its victims. Under 'such conditions it was not expected that 
the attendance would be large. The secretary was at home sick, and 
his work devolved upon Mr John M. Lilly, who was assisted by Mr. 
A. E. Ball wag as referee, Mr. Ray Williams as cashier, and by Mr. 
George Miller as scorer. 
The programme was alternate events of 15 targets, entrance 
and 20 targets, entrance $3.50. Ten per cent of net purses was set 
aside and divided equally between the five high guns shooting in the 
first ten events. 
The out of town shooters were: A. W. du Bray, of Parker Bros.; 
Ralph Trimble, of the Du Pont Powder Co.; H E. Norton, of the 
Winchester Arms Co ; H. J Lyons and J. S. Phelps, Jr , Louisville, 
Ky.; J. W. Penn, Cincinnati; Ed. Novis, Crawtordsville; J B. Stipp, 
Bedford; Proctor and Glunt, Union City; Small and Gamble Aurora; 
Van Dolson and Cartright. Anderson; Thompson, Lafayette; Cum- 
berland and Apperson, Kokomb; Schwartz, Columbus; E. Trimble, 
Covington, Ky , and E. D, Alkire, Woodlyn, O. 
The trade representatives were barred from the sweeps, and shot 
for the targets only, as did several others, who thought the company 
too fast for them. In this way about 1.800 targets were sold. The 
club will encouraee this sort of thing in the future. Mr. J. L. Head, 
of Peru, and Meyers and Webb, of Greensburg, were new men on the 
second day.

Boston Gun Club. 
WKLLiNaTON, Mass., Jul.y 21.— The final shoot of the Boston Gun 
Club series took place at Wellington to-day, and eleven assembled to 
do justice to the event. The afternoon was fine for shooting, and no 
fault could be found with it; the sun was hidden by many clouds, 
affording reduced temperature and also a relieved light. Not a few 
are sorry that the shooting on these grounds is concluded untU snow 
flies, for each Wednesday, as they all . too quickly sped away, meant 
a pleasant hour or two with gun and friends The series consisted of 
eight shoots with the four best scores counting tor prizes; and one 
score consistirg of i5 targets each dsy, 15 known and 10 imknown.

Trap at Lancaster, Pa. 
Lancaster. Pa,, July 16.— This afternoon one of the largest and 
most exciting live- bird shoots that has been held in this section for a 
long time took place on Clark's shooting grounds, on the Conestoga,

to defend it against all comers, and to hold it permanently must win 
it three times in succession. As will be noticed by the score, Messrs. 
Taylor and Hoak tied for first honors. In the shoot-off at 10 birds Mr. 
Hoak won, scoring 8 straight, while Taylor lost bis 1st, 5th and 8th 
birds.

IiOke Charles Rod and Gun Club. 
Lake Charles, La., July 21.— The Lake Charles Rod and Gun Club 
of this city, will give its flr.st annual shoot next month, Aug. 18-20. 
Its programme as yet has not been announced, but the same promises 
to be veryinterestlng, from the mere fact that there will be a num- 
ber of guaranteed pr zes. 
The club was organized Ma.y 1, 1898. and is to-day in a most flour- 
ishing condition. Its members are a jolly, good set of men, being of 
Lake Charles's best citizens, and all are typical sportsmen. 
It is expected that Dallas, San Antonio and Houston, Tex ; Shreve- 
port, Alexandria, New Iberia and New Orleans will be well repre- 
sented at ithe shoot next month. I can promise all sportsmen who 
wish to attend that the Lake Charles people and members of the 
gun club will extend to them hospitalities that time will never erase 
from their memory. — A. Gardona, Jr.

The Indian Wolf Shoot. 
Clear Lake, Iowa, July 23.— The first annual tournament of the 
Indian Squad closed to day. The attendance was not as large as was 
expected with $500 added; possibly the location had something to do 
with this, as many shooters thought it too far to go to attend a tour- 
nament. But those who did attend were amply repaid for the trip, as 
Clear Lake is one of the pleasantest places to spend a few days' in 
the heat of the summer we know of. Mr. Grimm bad every arrange- 
ment made for the convenience and comfort of all. 
The target shooting was done across the lake from the city, on a 
place known as Grand View. The traps were set to throw the targets 
over the water, and the background was perfect. The shooting was 
very difficult, owing to a high wind, end straight scores were very 
scarce. About 20,00n targe s were thrown in regular and pxtra events. 
The programme had ten 20-rarget events each day, entrance $2 SO. with 
815 added to each event The shooting was done under the Sergeant 
system; coast pigeon targets were used. Mr, Stratton, of the Grand 
view Hotel, served a fine lunch, and looked after the comfort of his 
guests. 
On Friday, 93d, the shooting was changed to grounds on the oppo- 
site side of the lake, near what is known as the camp grounds and 
Oaks' Hotel, and at 10 A. M. the 25 live bird event oommenced. The 
birds -were a good lot and not a straight score was made. Mr. Gilbert 
scored 24 and won a nice cut-glass lemonade set, donated by Mr. E. S. 
Rice, of Chicago, and first money. 
Mr. Parmelee won high average on targets, leading Gilbert and 
Heikes by 5 targets, and won a Marlln repeating rifle, donated by Mr. 
Robbins, of the Sportsmen's Review, of Chioago. Four Indiana were 
absent— McMurchy, Parker, Merrill and Erbardt: we have since 
learned that Mr. Erhardt is very sick, and the Indian squad and his 
many friends are very sorry to learn of his being ill, and hope for his 
speedy recovery.

The Indians have not decided on a location for their tournament 
next year, but as soon as the location is decided on will advise you. 
[Since the above was written we have learned from Hawkeye that 
the Indians will bold a Wolf shoot in '98 and will add $1,000]. 
Owing to our receiving the scores of the Indian Wolf shoot shortly 
before going to press, we are able to give onlv the general averages 
of those who shot through the programme of 600 targets. Parmelee 
leads, with Heikes and Gilbert tied for second and third places, Gott- 
lieb, of Kansas City, being fourth:
