FOREST AND STREAM, 
[Dec. 18, IIM. 
word of sickness in his fainily, aaad ^vished if possible to finish his 
acore and leave for Kansas City to-night. Therefore, though it was 
now growing very dark, the efficient Kansas City field marshall, 
Captain Walden . put bim in to shoot next. The Chicago banner was 
carried by Geo. Roll, the big Blue Island craekerjack, who offered 
some contrast to his slighter opponent Both these men turned out 
to be shooters, and they did what one takes to be about the best 
shooting yet seen. It was a question of eyesight. The birds were 
not flying so fast, but it was so dark one could hardly see to score. 
How the two men managed to do such work is a mystery to be solved 
only by the instinct of direction which enables the good field shot to 
kill without taking aim. The men had to stop at tne 25th bird, and 
were then a tie on 22, each with 1 dead out and 2 lost clean. At the 
16th bird it was very dark. l\Ir. Herman was apparently fast asleep 
and killed 15 straight. He shot in good form. Roll was prompt and 
regular and made a very good impression. The score was set fcr 
completion the first thing the following morning. Herman had his 
Eth bird flagged, and his 10th was a "no bird." The dog saved his IQcb. 
Roll bad flags for his 6th, 9th and 18th. His 8th was a good second. 
Saturday, Dec. 1 1. 
The weather continued cloudy all day, but was much colder. The 
wind shifted more to the north. The result was seen in a very marked 
improvement in the birds. Incomers became rare, and outgoing 
birds ruled many of them very high and hard twisters. The men 
who shot to-day iiad a very different task from those who came to the 
score earlier. The crowd was now small, but ic was choice, and inter- 
est was continued to the close. ChiCBgo made one spurt toward the 
close, but the gap was too wide, and the big men from Kan'sas City 
carried off the honors with a good wide margin. This places Kansas 
City winner of the series of three interciry races. She won the first 
by 4 birds (if memory serves), the secocd by 2. and this, the third, 
by 7. She holds fairly the palm of the West. They say they have 
100 more as good as these ten left yet down there; but if so, we don 't 
want to shoot a 100-men race. 
HEBMAN - EOLI, (COKTINLTED), 
At an early hour shooting began in the unfinished race of the day 
before, between Herman, of Kansas City, and Roll, of Chicago. The 
men were tied in the dark last night, hut this morning the Kansas City 
man was too good for George. He was cool and steadv and centered 
his birds fair, seemingly encouraged by Roll's miss of his first liird. 
The wind was now light, from the N.W., and the birds were uneven, 
some hard. Herman's Vth w^as a fast black, but he lost his 8tb, a 
duffer. He had only one bird flagged, and he ran out with 46, top 
score of the shoot, as easy as playing marbles. Large chunks of sad- 
ness dropped upon the club house platform, and Chicago began to 
think it never could pick even one winner. 
Roll's 1st bird was an easy one, and slobbered badly. His 9th was 
a hard cinnamon. He had 1 flagged. His 50th was a brilliant kill of 
a hard twister. Kansas City was feeling good, now being 10 birds in 
the lead. The Chicago team was not yet decided This opening race 
of the day showed top score and second score of the whole series, 
and was a very prettily contested event. Score:

FHOTHINGtHAM— RILEY. 
Here Chicago braced to expect again, but she misunderstood the 
big and smiling Riley, who W'as not there to lose. Dr. Frothingham, 
a short and boyish-looking, but sturdy figure, shot with his usual in- 
tensity and nervous energy, and he put up a fine race. The birds re- 
mained a little mixed, but now and again a screecher would go out. 
The Chicago man's 22d was a great scop, and his S'ith was a hot one. 
His 85th was low and fast. His 40th was a plain miss. His 41st was 
an ugly one, and got over also. Frothingham got his share of hot 
ones, and his score of 43 is good. 
Jim Riley has a fine position at the score and shoots in a beautiful 
style. His gun is low and easy; he does not need a guy rope to keep 
him from falling on his nose, but stands graceful and erect. He has 
a rapid second, and all in all is a very good specimen as he shot to- 
day. His 1st bird was flagged, also his 47th. His 12ch fell in bounds, 
but the dog chased it out to die. His 19th was low and nasty; his 
2.5th fell inside, but again the dog caused him a loss, chasing it out. 
His 26th was a hot one, and this made the race a tie at this point. 
His 27th was a warm baby too. the birds at this point freshening up 
and beginning to go like demons. He was slow with his 33d, but his 
49th was a scratch second in the deep field that brought down the 
house. Riley shot beautifully, but the dogged doctor hung to him lo 
the finish and gave him a lot of company. Grief now was 3 cents a 
bushel in Chicago, for K. 0. now went up another bird and stood 11 
ahead. Score:

GOTTLIBB— VON LKNSERKE. 
The band played the "Wacht am Rhein." Big Chris Gottlieb 
looked rosy and healthy as ever, and he was picked by many for top 
score of the meet. Luck did not favor him to this extent, but he beat 
his man, after the fashion of his fellows. These men got a real race, 
the hardest birds of the day so far. Incomers were few and far be- 
tween, and the score shows very many drivers. These bU-ds were 
many of them very fast Chris feathered his 5th, his 6th was a strong 
one and bis 7th hit the wire pull, causing Chris to chew gum very 
fast for a moment. His 17th got off easy, his 19th was ugly and was 
only saved by quick work with the second, and his 80th was another 
grand second-barrel kill. His 24th was just across the wire, but to 
offset this his 28th hit the wire and was saved. His 34th was high and 
hot, and his 46th a corker which was too fast for the shot. Ic was 
anybody's race for a long time, as O. von Leogerke got off with a long 
lead. 
The Chicago man was well keyed up and had his eye on the birds 
He was anxious and careful, but quick and snappy, getting down 
many stingers right at the traps betore they grew harder. The Chi- 
cago mkn had one flagged bird. Von's 19th was a good, fast second. 
His 26th was luck.y, suddenly letting go and dropping dead after it 
was thought sure to go out. Pis 80th fell inside, but rose and went 
oiit. His 3M was a hot one. His 33d had to be flagged, but started 
swiftly directly toward the score and was missed. His 46th was 
stopped after a deliberate wait for it to straighten out in flight. His 
4'?th was scored by luck, after a long circle about inside, His 50th 
bird dropped a bit inflight, but recovered and went out, this finish- 
ing a very pretty race, a casual reference to the score, however, 
showed that Chicago had dropped yet another point back, the lead 
of K, 0. now being 12 birds.

BINGHAM— J. B. PORTER, 
Here was where we got revenge. Jim Porter was considered safe to 
make a big score for K. Cbut he had left his timepiece at home. 
On the other hand, Eddie Bingham apparently thought that he was 
home '/n the old stone blind in Koshkonong shooting teal. He was in 
tent on his work, but he was not too nervous, and he never shot? a 
better race in his life. His style was very sharp and his second rarely 
wasted. Porter got too slow and cotdd not find the birds. The wind 
was now fresher, and the birds better and very fast. With the excep- 
tion of Dave Elliott, Bingham's score covered the best work yet seen 
in the series, for he stopped many very wicked birds, and did it in 
brilliant style. His 9th was high and hard. His 10th fell to great ap- 
plause, but the dog chased it out, and the scoi'e had to be changed. 
His 17th was flagged. His 27th was a good second, and his 32d exous- 
.able. His 38th was a hot one, and his 40th and 41st high and fast. 
His 45th was a stinger, a big cinnamon, the color so many of the 
twisters wore 
Jim Porter was cool, easy and deliberate, and shot with his usual 
freedom from strain. (In position at the score the K. C. men could 
give Chicago cards and spades.) His style was just a trifle too slow, 
however, the birds gettlog hard before being hit. Toward the middle of 
the race his time was bad, and he tied the low score on the other side. 
37. His 13th lit on the hand rail at the score, but Capt. Waldron did 
not push it back, of course, and it fluttered into cipherdom. His 18th 
was a good second, his 19th a "no bird.'' At the 25 hole he was too 
slow. His b9th was a red hot low bird, and his 43d a lucky second, 
far out. Porter did not lose his head under the stress, but pounded 
along calmly. He had the bad luck to lose his 50th dead out of 
bounds-afast driver. 
At last Chicago had won a race, and Eddie Bingham a hundred 
years from now will teU his grandchildren how he pulled his team up 
6 birds in the big intercity shoot. Score:

ELLIOTT— KLEINMAN. 
•18-37 
Only one more race remained. George Kl»inman was put in to 
shoot with Jimmy Elliott, late winner of the Du Pont trophy. George 
acquitted himself very well, and some of his second barrel work had 
his old phenomenal quality. Twice he lost hard drivers by getting 
his second in just a shade before he meant to do so, knowing as he 
pulled trigger that he was not on, But some of his other birds were 
out down like lightning, and they needed to be. George said that 
some of his first 25 string were as fast birds as he ever shot at in his 
life. We were now getting birds such as we should have had all the 
week had the weather been good. 
Elliott shot in his usual rapid style, at times almost carelessly. He 
scored his 4th by a lucky sudden fall. His 7th rose as the boy started 
to gather it, and the dog was started after it and gathered it. Ttie 
referee, John Watson, decided another bird should be shot, Capt. 
Organ waived the right, and Capt. Walden thanked him. EUiou's 
22d was flagged, his 33d not hit; his 34th chased against the wire by 
the Cur. one of the retrievers. His 48d had a wing ofl' luckily, Elliott 
ran 43, and chewed gum all the time George was quick with both 
barrels on his 14th, but it was no use. His loth was a duplicate, but 
he got it. His 17th was a grand fast second, and his 18th another. 
His 19th was still another very fast one, but this was n«t centered, 
and the 20th, another screamer, though hit hard both times, also got 
over. His 49th was gathered by the white pointer, which went crazy 
and tried to bring in 2 birds at a time, having found another dead 
one ungathered. This was a pretty race and a good exhibition of 
skill, but the Kansas City man followed custom and beat his oppo- 
nent by 1 bird. Score:

KANSAS CITY WINS BY 7. 
The official team totals were now announced to be: 
Kansas City 424, 
Chicago 417. 
Kansas City won by 7 birds. 
THE KANSAS CITY "STAB" MEDALS. 
The Kansas City Star, the able newspaper which Jimmy Whitfield 
makes the best rod and gun daily in the West, had offered two indi- 
vidual medals for competition at this intercity meet— a medal for the 
highest individual score on the Kansas City team, and a duplicate 
badge for the highest Chicago individual score. C. C. Herman, of 
Kansas City, had won his badge by his score of 46. Two men on the 
Chicago team were tied on 45— Ruble and Roll. They shot at 10 birds 
and Roll won the medal. Score:

THE captains' RACE. 
The captains of the two teams now got gay. Capt. Walden 
allowed he could skin any Chicago captain— or all three of them— and 
Capt. Col. Pelton was put up against him, no weight for age allowed 
or asked. They shot at 25 birds and showed they were both right up 
in the first rank and fit to command their lusty privates. It was 
approaching evening, and everybody felt good but the birds, which 
flew mixed Col. Felton missed 2 eas.y ones and killed a few hard 
ones, beating out the handsome Kansas City man by 2 birds. Capt. 
Walaen shot a Greener ejector, 7lb3. 14oz., Winchester metal-lined

CHICAGO SHOOTERS CHALLENGE DEFEATED TEAM. 
Messrs W. W. McFarland, Ed. Steck, Silas Palmer, T. P. Hicks and 
R. Kuss, all well-known Chicago shooters, who were possibilities in 
the selection of the Chicago team of ten in the Intercity shoot, have 
had on their war paint and now want a better chaace to go to war. 
They say that they and five others would like to shoot a friendly race 
with the Chicago team which was to-day defeated. Messrs. Shaw, 
Von Lengerke, Eich, Roll and Bingham have informally signified 
their personal willingness to accept such a challenge. The race 
would beforfO birds per man, ten men teams, for the price of the 
birds and a little wager. Nothing more definite is known to night of 
this, the matter having arisen after the close of team shoot to-day. 
The race may or may not be shot. E. Hough. 
THE BANQUET. 
The banquet of the Chicago Athletic Association on Saturday even 
ing was a notable affair. The grand dining hall of the club was ar- 
ranged in a quadruple rank of tables with a cross-board running the 
entire width of the room, plates being laid for 105 and nearly all seats 
occupied. Among others present were the following, though in the 
hurry of the late hour some ma.y have been omitted who shared in 
the entertainment offered all visiting sportsmen by the Chicago 
organization:

written address of welcome and congratulation, introducing speakers 
of the evening. 
Col. Felton made an address of welcome to the visiting gentlemen 
of Kansas City, marked with his usual happy turns of thought and 
phrases. 
Judge E. Gifford, of Kansas City, responded pleasingly. He said 
Chicago hospitality was befitting the reputation of sportsmen. 
Judge Gifford recounted the doings of the early citizens who built 
the beginnings of the city by the Kaw. He said they never killed an 
Indian dead out of bounds. That was where the Kansas City men 
learned to .shoot so well. He told of the history of the (Jate City 
which had bred so sturdy a lot of sons. He spoke of the glorious 
chmate of Kansas City with apparent seriousness. He said any man 
in Kansas City would split a $20 bill with a perfect stranger, he was 
so large hearted. Judge Gifford's speech was cheered to the echo. 
Mr. W. T. Johnson, former treasurer of Cook county, III., and an 
old sportsman, told in turn of early days in Chicago and on the 
Western traU that ran through Kansas City in the frontier time. Mr. 
Johnson spoke feelingly and weU, and his remarks elicited hearty 
applause. 
Capt. G. M. Walden, the "Prince of Kansas City," was called upon. 
He spoke gracefully and with dignity, and added to the fine impres- 
sion "he has created throughout the entire week. Mr. Walden is a 
man of fine presence and winning address. It is said that to his tact; 
and well-balanced judgment the sportsmanship of Kansas City owes 
its united and shoulder-to shoulder condition to-day. His was the 
speech of the evening. He paid a high tribute to Chicago, ascribing 
praise to his own city only with modesty and delicacy. He said that 
nis fellow-townsmen would always be ready to receive Chicago 
sportsmen, and would accord them a good place to shoot and all the 
welcome in the world. 
Mr. Harry W. Loveday, State game warden, took up the running for 
Chicago briefly. 
Mr. EmU Werk, of Cincinnati, and Mr, W. W. McFarland, of Chi- 
cago, were called upon for a song. They gave Scotch and German 
renditions of rattling Irish songs, Mr. Werk bringing down the house 
and Mr. McFarland ruining the rest of the roof with his song of the 
"Bould Melniyres." 
A flash-light photograph was at this point taken of the banqueting 
hall. 
Mr. Tom Vallins, ex Chief of Police of Kansas City, stirred up the 
house with his "first oratorical appearance at the trap." He claimed 
an early citizenship in Illinois, and an early education (from the 
almanac) as an orator. He married a Chicago lady, and had affilia- 
tions with this city. He convulsed the audience with apropos re- 
marks. He said the Pullman porter had taken him for "Mistah 
Elliott," and he felt proud to be mistaken for a shooter. Mr. ValUna 
added firmness to the conviction that Kansas City could beat Chicago 
at speaking as decisively as at shooting. His speech bristled with 
anecdote and wittv metaphor. To hear Mr. Vallins tell a Swedish 
dialect, story is a liberal education. 
Mr. Jas. Whitfield, of the Kansas Citj^ Star, now called upon Messrs. 
C, C. Herman and Geo Roll to receive the individual high-score 
medals mentioned earlier. Mr. Whitfield mentioned some of the Old 
Guard members of the Kansas City shooting cult. 
Mr R. B. Organ moved a vote of thanks to the Kansas City Star 
and Mr. Whitfield for the able representation offered at this shoot. 
Carried. 
Hon. Tom Marshall and Mr. Alfred Price (of Illinois) were both 
called for. Mr. Price spoke briefly and feelingly, commending the 
royal hospitality of Kansas City. He said we had to go west of Chi- 
cago to find shooters, but they had a plenty at Kansas City. 
Speaking now became general. Votes of thanks to the Kansas 
City team, to Referee John Watson and the visiting and competing 
match shooters were passed. Fred Gilbert, Tom Marshall, Emil 
Werk, Fred Quimby, C. P Richards, Dr. Whittier, R. B. Organ, W. 
L. Shepard, Geo. W. Stockwell and others. 
A formal motion was passed, seemingly unnecessary, admitting the 
fact that Chicago had been defeated thoroughly, satisfactorily and 
elegantly, which nobody could deny. 
Adjournment was had between the hours of 1 and 2 in the morning.
