WESTERN TRAPS. 
Chicago Has No Shooter. 
Chicago, 111., Jan. 22.— It is a notorious fact that Chicago is about 
the poorest shooting town in the world, except when once in 
-a while she wakes from her deep slumber and does some brief, 
heroic act, such as getting skinned by Kansas City. The humilia- 
tion of Chicago's slackness in trap mattei-s lias, however, not for 
some time been borne in on tis so forcibly as it has lately in the 
case oi our inability to select a champion to meet Dr, Williamson, 
>of Milwaukee. It is only just to the latter to say that he has 
not been trailing his coat at all, and has not taken the position 
that he could beat everybody in the world. In point of fact, the 
challenge to the Chicago shooters did not emanate from him, but 
from a friend or his, and the hard-shooting doctor does not classily 
himself as a world beater. It is too bad that a race cannot be ar- 
ranged on this pleasant amateur basis, but the fact remains that 
such is not apt to be the case. A nitmber of our shooters thin.v 
that George Kleinman could beat Dr. Williamson at Burnsiue 
grounds, especially if he had one or two days of practice before- 
hand. But no one seems to care enough about the matter to take 
it in hand, sec to the practice and secure the backing, 
and all that sort of thing which goes with the getting up of this 
kind of a race. It is not likely that Dr. Williamson would on a 
hard day here score so many birds to the hundred as he would in 
Milwaukee, but onr folks seem to think that he would score so 
many that no local man would have sufficient cinch. Jack Winston 
would like to come up from Washington, Ind., to shoot the Mil- 
vyaukeean, but Jack doesn't qualify as a Chicago resident, and 
we have Tio right to enlist outside talent. 
Chicago Surplus. 
A personal letter from Col. C. E. Felton, lale member of the 
committee which won general approbation by selecting the Chicago 
team, states that he docs not favor the purchase of an amateur 
Biedal with the surplus funds left over from the intercity shoot. 
Col. Felton does not want to be reminded perpetually of the fact 
that he was a functionary at the occasion which created the sur- 
plus. He suggests that a better way to use this money would 
be to send back t)ie contributions of those who aided financially, 
but who returned their tickets. Failing of this, he thinks it 
would be well to get up one grand handicap shoot for the surplus 
as a purse, same to be divided into a number of small prizes. All 
this, however, he advances as late contribution to the many ideas 
suggested for the distribution of this fund, and aside from its 
actual disposition in the form, of an amateur trophy. 
Indianapolis Sparrow Shoot. 
The Limited Gun Club, of Indianapolis, in its tasty programme 
takes up further the matter of a sparrow tournament for the en- 
tertainment of gentlemen who can conveniently pass through In- 
dianapolis on their way to the midwintei- tournament held by 
John J. Sumpter at Hot Springs, Ark. The management an- 
nounce the dates of Feb. 10 and 11. There will be plenty of 
sparrows and plenty of targets, the latter shot under target handi- 
cap, 100 targets, unknown angles, .|10. A percentage of the net 
purses will be reserved for the five high guns. The club secretary, 
Mr. H. T. Flearsey, requests all who can attena to kindly advise 
him of that fact, and the club adds the following words of invi- 
tation and explanation : 
"In asking our friends to visit us so soon after our very suc- 
cessful live-bird tournament, we do so with a deep sense of appre- 
ciation and hearty good will to those gentlemen who, by their 
presence and their guns, contributed so much to the success of 
our first attempt; and we also feel grateful to those friends who 
gave us the .support of their wise counsel and good wishes, al- 
though unable to attend. 
"The rate to Hot Springs and return for fifteen or more is .^27.20. 
W« hope to have several times fifteen. The special parlor car to 
St. Louis is 50 cents. Special sleeper St. Louis to Hot Springs, 
$3. Same returning. Fifteen-day limit. Owing to the intiuence 
of Mr. John J. Sumpter and ourselves, we trust the rate will im- 
prove. We can leave here at noon and reach Hot Springs the 
, next nooti. Our car-will leave Saturday or Sunday; the majoritj' 
will decide after they reach here. 
"JNow, if those gentlemen who desire to go to the Springs, but 
can't spare the tiriie to shoot with us, will just mail their drafts 
to the management, we will secure tickets, parlor and sleeper, lor 
them with pleasure— just to show we have no hard feelings. « * * 
Now to business. 
"The management will accept the forfeit and post the condi- 
tions for any and all private matches for either day, or any part 
of either day, that may be suggested. These contentions to De 
decided by the scores in the regular programme. Here is where 
you get a run for your money. The complimentary dinners will be 
- on tap at the old stand." 
Audubon Club Election. 
The Audubon Gun Club, the patriarch of the shooting organiza- 
tions of Chicago, showed its up-to-date and vigorous condition in

has been begun at the traps, which are located on the ice in the 
bay. The following officers were chosen: John Isaacson, Presi- 
dent; F. R. Holmberg, Vice-President; Charles Kauppi, Treas- 
urer; Charles Johnson, Secretary. 
The Fulton Gun Club, of Fulton, Mo., was organized last week

A. Leavell, Treasurer, and T. Ed Carter, Secretary. 
At the annual meeting of O. K. Gun Club, of Kansas City, last 
week the old officials were continued in office. Ed Hickman and 
W_ill Herman tied for the new club trophy, 14 out of 1.5. 
The Kansas City Gun Club, at its annual meeting last week, 
decided to shoot henceforth at 25 birds in each medal shoot. The 
following officers were elected: J. P.. Porter, President; A. H.

St. Louis-Kansas City. 
Mr. G. M. Walden, of Kansas City, made a visit to St. Louis 
last week. Mr. Bert Taylor, of St. Louis, said to him that if 
Capt. ^'yalden would bring his men to St. Louis, ^the mooted St. 
Louis-Kansas City team race would be shot. The latter said he 
could hardly bring his men to visit St. Louis for the race, but that 
if the St. Louis men would come to Kansas City, th'e race would 
no doubt be shot there. This latter proposition will be accepted 
by Mr. Tavlor, and it is alleged that he will get together ten men 
and go up to Kansas City some time in February. 
Scattering Shoots. 
Painesville Gun Club, of Ohio, shot with the following resulf; 
jn Its last weekly shoot, 25 targets: Cain 19, Wasson IS, Hodges Ifi" 
Gill 13, Taylor 12, Donaldson 9, Carnegie 8, Hardway 7, Adams 7" 
Hoose 7, Morgan 6, Fitzgerald 6. . Gage 3, Elackmon 1 Plays H 
.Savage 11, Pratt 8, Steverson 7, McLeod 4. 
Away out in Pullman, Wash., I hear of Prof. T. A. Balmer 
-with whom I used to hunt auail in Vincennes, Ind. It seems 
that there was recently a little town competition between Pullman 
and Moscow, Wash., and that Moscow carried off most of the 
honors. The shoots at live birds were miss-and-out, and I am 
Vdeased to see that in many of these events Prof. Balmer's name 
IS m the high-gun rank.?. In his team shoot Moscow won with 4 
birds to the good. 
They shot a few live birds last week at North LaGrange Wis 
with the following results: Ten live birds: Hughs 10, Baker and 
King 9, Lewis, Malcolm, Browall and Eelbeck 8. C. H. Nott was 
chosen President for the coming year, and E. W. Taylor Secretary 
At St. Louis last week J. S. Morrison defeated F. B. Goodrich at 
100 live birds, 75 to 70. , 
Members of the Bevier, MO., Gun Club held a team shoot last 
week. It was small, but as interesting pro rata and per capita 
as though it were bigger. The following arc the results of the 
mixed competition, live birds and targets : 
Live birds: 
Rivers (captain) 5, Williams 7, Chadwell 4; total 16. 
Simpson (captain) 7, Rafter 6, Morgan 2; total 15. 
Bluerocks: , 
Simpson (captain) U, Rafter 10, Morgan 9; total 30.

The Garfield's Shoot on Jan. 29. 
The Garfield Gun Club will hold its monthly live-bird contest at 
Watson's Park, 111., Jan. 29. Visitors are invited to be present. 
Owing to an erroneous statement in a Chicago sporting paper, 
which stated that Garfield Club's shoot would be held to-day 
(Jan. 22), several members of that club were present at Watson's 
Park to-day. The day was a most disagreeable one, on account 
of the driving snowstorm that prevailed during the day. Some of 
those who attended to-day will positively be unable to attend 
again next week, and it is hoped that the Garfield Gun Club will 
grant them the privilege of shooting an extra score at the Feb- 
ruary shoot, in view of the fact of the mistake above referred to.

Some Sweeps at Yardville. 
Jan. 11.— There were 13 entries to-day in a 15-bird race shot on 
Charlie Zwirlein's grounds at Yardville, N. J. The entry fee was 
JflO. The birds were a very good lot, and as a result not a single 
straight smore was made. I. Warner won first money alone on 
14 out of 15, losing his second bird and then killing the last 13 
straight. There were four ties on 13 for second money, and curi- 
ously enough, as there was no 12 or 11, four men tied for third 
money on 10 each. A single 9 took fourth money. Scores:

Boiling Springs Gun Club. 
Jan. 19. — The semi-monthly series of prize shoots held by the 
Boiling Springs Gun Club was continued to-day. These shoots 
are held on the first and third Wednesdays of every month. A 
gold watch is put up for competition every two months, the 
party winning it the greatest number of times out of the four 
shoots to become the owner of the watch. Should there be a tie 
on wins, such tie will be shot off. As it happens, it does not look 
as if there was likely to be any tie in this series, as Capt. Money 
has secured first place on both shoots held to date. With his 
allowance of .seven extra targets to shoot at, he has scored 49 
and 50, his highest possible being made in to-day's contest. At 
the first shoot, held Jan. 5, Wright and Beveridge were close up 
with 48 each. To-day Wright had another chance of tieing Capt. 
Money, but he lost two out of his allowance of seven extras, and 
scored 49, one less than a highest possible. Among those present 
to-day were Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate Associa- 
tion. Mr. Shaner was persuaded to show his skill with the gun, 
and pounded out 10 straight and 9 out of 10. 
Below are the scores of the prize race in detail, the handicaps 
being shown in the figures after each shooter's name; where no 
handicap is given, we have received no notice as to what was 
allowed that shooter. It will be noticed that Money and Wright 
were the only ones to shoot their allowances, no one else being 
able to make a highest possible:
