FOREST AND STREAM. 
[OCT. 3, 1897. 
City Club, with 168 out of 175 targets shofat io the various events of 
seven different meets throuehout the sumnaer. A very good showing, 
indeed, for regularity. K, Kuss, of Garfield, was close up to him with 
a total of 165 
Last ypar the method pursued in the team contests was to designate 
the personnel of the teams before they entered the contests. This 
year a different course was pursued, the six highest scores in each 
class beinsr selected after the close of each contest. This makes the 
matter of figurine: out the different winning teams a matter too long 
and complicated for covering at the late hour of night at which the 
closing scores of to-day were at hand for arrangement. It is, how- 
ever, practically certain that the Garfield A Class team has won high 
average. It will be a near thing between the B Class teams of Eu- 
reka and Calumet Heights clubs. The issue in C Class teams is still 
in doubt. 
Following are the team scores of the interclub contest to-day, ar- 
ranged to show the teams of each club represented. 
Teams of six men, 25 targets per man, unknown angles:

CALUMET HEIGHT.? CLUB. 
Calumet Heights Club, of Chicago, held its usual weekly shoot on its 
g-rounds the 19th inst. The attendance, including members and their 
families, numbered thirty-eight persons. The farly morning was 
spent on the river and marsh, which affords some httle duck shooting 
at this time of the year. The latter part of the morning was employed 
in live-bird shooting by a few members. After dinner followed the 
target contests. Some 200 live birds wpre also shot at, and 645 targets 
thrown. There was a very strong wind from the lake in the face of 
the traps, which sent the asphalts high in the air: mast of those 
missed the wind would carry back, even to a point behind the shoot- 
iner score or stand. Notwithstanding these contrary elements.'some 
fair Fcores were made, as follows: Houston winning in Class A. Nor- 
com in Class B, and Schmidt in Class C after a shoot-off with Cham- 
berlain.

at kansas oitv. 
At the last regular medal meet of the Metropolitan Gun Club, of 
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 19, Dave Elliott won the A Class medal wilh 
34 out of 25 targets, N. i Jarrett taking the B Class medal with 23. 
Hafvey McMurchy was in town at the time, and he got tangled up 
with the ."Strong boy, Chris Gottlieb, of Western famo as a shooter, 
the two shooting a friendly race at 25 live birds. Gottlieb won with a 
score of 25 straight, McMurchy scoring 22. This reminds one of the 
time Bennett, of Kansas City, came up to Chicago and beat one of our 
shooters here the way Gottlieb beat Mac. The injured partv in that 
case remarked, with some justice: "Beat him! How could I beat 
him, when he killed 'em all?" Following were the scores in the 
medal target event:

MARINETTE SHOOT. 
The following scores of the Marinette Rod and Gun Club, of Mari- 
nette, Wis,, live-bird shoot of Sept. 6 were promptly forwarded, but 
personally addressed, and so did not reach attention as business mail 
until some days after they reached Forest and Stream's oiHce at Chi- 
cago. Mr. John E. Dafter was very kind to score the flights in For- 
est AND Stream's trap type, and he adds the folio wing notes in regard 
to the pleasant httle event: 
"The weather was perfect, just cool enough to make the birds fly, 
and the birds— a fine lot— only thrpe of them failing to get off at the 
pull of the trap. A good breeze was blowing from the east, making 
most of the shots left-quartering. Three traps were used, plans of 
same being kindly furnished us by C. M. Grimm, ot Clear Lake, la. 
Too much praise cannot be said in behalf of these traps. They are 
simply perfect. The shooting was done in blocks of five, one man up, 
unknown traps. The score shows considerable difference in the num- 
ber of birds shot at, but as it was purely a club shoot, the members 
merely shot at as many as they wished to. The score doesn't figure 
up very high, but most of those shooting have never been in anything 
of the kind before and it was a new thing to them. Our club is 
young, but growing, and in time we trust we will be able to furnish 
better scores. We propose having another live-bird shoot Thanksgiv- 
ing Day. Ducks are flying now, and until late in the fall more atten- 
tion is paid them than anything else. Next year we trust we will bo 
in condition to have a State tournament here."

our IN THE cow COUNTRY. 
The Douglas Budaet, of Douglas, Wyoming, pays some attention to 
the tournament which will be given by the Douglas Gun Club Oct. 13, 
mabinff the following comment, which shows that trap-shooting is 
not imknown even in the far lands of the cattle range: 
"It ia expected that the shotgun artists of Casper will comedown 
in force and attempt to recover the trophy won by our bnys recently, 
in that city, although no definite notification has been rec?ived from 
them as yet. A live bird shoot for $15 or $20 entrance money each- 
three prizes, to be divided among high guns -is being arranged, 
which ought to bring some of the crack shots of Chadron and Chey- 
enne. A match shoot has also been arranged between four of the 
best shots of the local club, which will prove a drawing card. Messrs. 
Jesurun and Rice shoot Messrs. Morton and Rimington, for $50 a side, 
SO birds to the man. This will be a close race. Bluerock events will 
be made up during the day, to suit all comers." 
ELLIOTT-GILBERT . 
Some interest is evinced over the coming race between Jim Elliott 
and Fred Gilbert at Kansas City, Oct 8. Much sympathy is expressed 
to-day in Chiaago with Mr. Gilbert, whose father died yesterday at 
his home at Spirit Lake, la., after a short illness. The news came 
very suddenly to Fred, and was a shock to him. I have often heard 
him speak very highly of his father, who appears to have been taken 
into his confidence in many ways of intimacy. The elder Gilbert 
was one of the pioneers of Iowa, and was engaged in trading with 
the Indians and trapperain the early days of that State. 
GOODRICH SMITH. 
F. M, Smith and L. M. Goodrich, both of Chicago, on the termina- 
tion of tournament at Watson's Park, Sept 31, shot a race for $10 
and the price of the birds. Smith shooting at 30 birds and Goodrich 
at 27. The latter killed 24 out of his 27 and won by one bird. 
PISTAKEE SHOOT. 
There v/ill be a two days' target shoot Oct. 2-3, given by the Pista- 
kee Gun Club, at Ben Billings's place. Pistakee Bay, Fox Lake, III 
Open to all. 
TRAP NOTE, 
From the nature of a loud wail emanating from the vicinity of the 
Masonic Temple, Chicago, last week, methinks that about six or eight 
toes of somebody's No, 10 or 12 foot have been rudely stepped on by a 
few facts printed in last week's Forest and Stream about the Grimm- 
Elliott fiasco. The owner of the toes will please accept polite apolo- 
gies to those, them, him or it; though, really, it would seem that they, 
those, he or it, ought not to leave so many toes exposed in the public 
highway. b Hough,

Rhode Island Trap-Shooting Association. 
Providence, R. I., Sept. 23 —The individual championship contest 
for a silver cup and the title of '97, took place to-day under the aus- 
pices of the R. I. Trap-Shooting Association on its grounds in John- 
ston, and resulted in bringing out all of the crack shots in the State. 
The wind and weather were anything but pleasant. Showers and a 
strong wind blew direct against the shooters, making the targets 
quite erratic in their flight, and poor scores were the result. 
This ends one of the most prosperous seasons of trap-shooting by 
this club, and next year will be looked forward to for even better 
prospects. 
The conditions for the contest to enter were: Each man to shoot at 
,50 known targets and 50 unknown targets, entrance free, winner of 
the event entitled to championship honors and a silver clip suitably 
engraved, for the year 1897. Below is a summary of the event:

When this issue of Forest and Stream goes to press, the tourna- 
ment of the New Jersey State Sportsmen's Association at Passaic, 
N. J , will be well under way. This tournament is an important one • 
loJerseymen. It is the first State tournament held since 1884. From 
that year the old Association went to sleep, waking up for a moment 
or two at intervals, until it finally closed its eyes in 1890 or there- 
abouts. Early in the spring of this year a movement was sec on foot 
by Forest and Stream to wake it up or to form a new Association. 
That movement was successful, although the efforts to amalgamate 
the old Association and the new, a scheme that never was favored by 
Forest and Stream, brought about complications and muddles that 
took much time and thought to circumvent. AVhen it went to sleei"r 
ii 1884 there were about thirteen clubs members of the old Associa- 
tion, the New Jersey State Association for the Protection of Fish and 
Game The new Association, the New .Jersey State Sportsmen's As-' 
sociation, has the names of eighteen clubs upon its roster, and has a 
constitution and by-laws that are up to date in every particular. Iti 
starts on its career in such .shape that it ought to be at the top of tJtiO' 
heap in a fen years.
