WESTERN TRAPS. 
THE CHICAGO LIVE-BIRD CHALLENGE TROPHY. 
Chicago, March 5. — There has been some talk lately, some of 
it of a not altogether pleasant nature, regarding the disposition 
of the surplus fund left after the entertainment of visitors in the 
Kansas City-Chicago shoot last December. It was the wish of many 
that this sum should be devoted to the purchase of a challenge 
trophy for Chicago shooters, but these expressions having been 
made by corresij)ondence and not at a regular meeting of those 
concerned, nothing which could be termed of an official nature 
had transpired until this week. Mr. Rice, chairman of the 
Chicago entertaining organization, made arrangements for a badge, 
and rules, formulated as I understand by Mr. Rice, were published 
in a local paper. The latter rules, of course, represented nothing 
pertaining to the Chicago members of the entertainment body 
until after a meeting: had been called and formal action been 
taken upon them. Such meeting was not held until Friday of 
this week, March 4, at which time proper rules were formally 
adopted, the above-mentioned draft being amended in several 
points, and two additional rules adopted. 
The call for the meeting on this matter was setit out by Mr. 
Rice, chairman, on March 1. The following were present : T. P. 
Hicks, C. P. Richards, Ed Bingham, T. H, Amberg, R. B. Organ, 
W. P. Mussey, W. L. Shepard, H. Levy, E. S. Graham. S. C. 
Matthews, F. H. Lord, John Glover, Charles Morris, Mr. Comley, 
Dr. S. Shaw. Mr. J. Rehm sent regrets, stating that the ma- 
jority action would be approved by bun, and Slessrs. George 
R. Thorne and W. B. Leffingwell telephoned to similar effect. 
Mr. Rice called the meeting to order. He stated the purpose of 
the meeting and went on to say that he had written to all those 
who had contributed to the entertainment fund, asking each man 
his wish in regard to disposition of same. The great majority 
had expressed the wish that it be applied for the purchase of a 
Chicago trophy. He had gone ahead and purchased such trophy, 
and had caused to be published a set of rules on which he had 
heard no criticism. He stated that he had paid for tlie medal 
himself, and if the gentlemen did not care to take it over as their 
own he would offer it himself. The treasurer's report showed 
that there remained a balance of $1.33.08. The chairman 
passed up for reading a preamble and resolutions covering his 
action on this matter up to date. The resolution embodied the 
contemplated action, as follows: 
"Be it Resolved, First, that said surplus be and is hereby 
dedicated to the purchasie of a suitable trophy or badge to be 
oft'ered, first, in open contest to and bj' all who may have con- 
tributed in a financial way to the success of the recent entertain- 
ment of Kansas City shooters. All contestants to be hatidicapped 
as hereinafter provided. The holder of trophy as a result of the 
first open contest shall be subject to challenge as herein set forth. 
Suitable rules, to be hereafter adopted, shall govern in all 
contests for said challenge trophy." 
It was now suggested that to make the action regular there 
should be a meeting of the executive committee, and not of the 
general organization. There were present of this committee: 
Slessrs. Richards, Rice, Shepard and Hough. Mr. Rice called 
the committee together. The president's report was accepted and 
all the officers and committees of the original organization were 
discharged. The committee adjourned, and this was equivalent 
to the formal disbandment of the Chicago-Kansas City organiza- 
tion. 
On motion those present now went into committee of the whole, 
and Mr. W. L. Shepard was elected to the chair. Mr. Richards 
remarked that the badge had cost $150, whereas but $133 was left 
on hand. Mr. Rice politely offered to make up this deficit. It 
was carried then ihat we accept the badge as shooters of Cook 
county, and direct the treasurer to turn over the $133.08 to Mr. 
Rice. A vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Rice for his donation. 
On Mr. Amberg's motion the draft of the rules aforementioned 
was taken up and voted upon section by section.. 
It was voted that the contest be open only to contributors to 
the Kansas City entertainment fund, and that the first shoot be 
called for the first Wednesday in April. 
Mr. Mussey then made the following motion, which he stated he 
desired to have adopted as a preamble to the rules: 
"All persons desiring to enter for this contest shall make their 
entry and shall post each $2 forfeit at least ten days ahead of the 
first contest. Failure to shoot shall forfeit $2, the same to be 
paid over by the handicapping committee to Mr. Watson." This 
prevailed. 
Mr. Mussey moved that in Sec. 1 the word "pigeon" be substi- 
tuted for the word "birds." Carried. Sec. 2 was passed without 
change. Sec. 3 was on Mr. Rice's motion made to embody rati- 
fication by "general meeting of Chicago sportsmen" instead of 
the "executive committee." Mr. Mussey moved a substitute 
for Sec. 10, which substitute was adopted and is shown as Sec. 10 
in the complete copy of the rules found below. 
Mr. Mussey then moved the adoption of the following to be 
added to the rules: "In case any legitimate contestant shall win 
this trophy six times, it shall become his property." This motion 
prevailed and was made part of the rules, as Sec. 14. Mr. Hicks, 
seconded by Mr. Levy, moved that the trustees be elected by 
ballot, their term to be one year, or until their successors are qual- 
ified; said trustees to have power to fill any vacancy which may 
arise by death or resignation. This resolution was later engrossed 
and made part of the rules as Sec. 15, shown in full below. 
A ballot was held for the three trustees. Messrs. Alussey, 
Shepard and Hicks were elected. 
THE RULES. 
The following is the official copy of the rules governing the 
Chicago live-bird challenge trophy. As stated above, they were 
guessed at earlier. If they are printed again this week elsewhere 
than in Forest anb Stream it will simply be a case of guessing 
again, for Forest and Stream has the only official and correct 
copy of these rules. For record of current events it is well to 
consult the columns of Forest and Stream. If you see it there 
it is so: 
THE CHICAGO LIVE-BIRD CHALLENGE TROPHY. 
1. All contests for this trophy shall be at live pigeons, con- 
testants subject to handicap, either by what is known as the bird 
handicap, or distance handicap, one or both, as may appear best 
and proper to the committee having the matter in charge. 
2. All contests shall be at 25 birds per man, whether at first 
general or subsequent individual contests, and shot under rules 
known as the American Shooting Association rules, except wherein 
the following rules may differ. 
3. This trophy shall be placed in the hands of three trustees, 
such trustees having first been agreed upon at a general meeting 
of Chicago sportsmen held for the purpose of considering these 
rules. 
4. It shall be the duty of this committee of three, first, to 
care for the trophy; second, to receive and preserve all bonds 
given by individuals who may, by winning, for the time hold said 
trophy; third, it shall be the duty of said committee, or a majority 
thereof, to properly handicap, according to the best information 
obtainable and their better judgment, all contestants for possession 
of said trophy, and if in their judgment a bird allowance in addi- 
tion -to a distance handicap be necessary to the equalizing of two 
shooters, then such handicap shall be by this committee, or a ma- 
jority thereof, affixed, giving notice of such handicap to parties 
in interest. 
5. Finally, this committee shall have entire and complete say 
as to the care of trophy, the bond that shall be accepted, all ques- 
tions pertaining to handicapping, the appointment of referee, 
score keeper, etc.

a sum of money requisite to cost of 50 birds, and no more. The

Watson continues to manage a shooting park, name such "park 
as the place for contest. 
8. The holder of this trophy shall be subject to one challenge 
each thirty days, and shall shoot, if requested_ to do so, within

the trophy fail to appear, he shall forfeit the trophy to the 
challenger, who shall also have his bird money refunded. 
11. In case holder of trophy is not in condition to shoot

of trophy must shoot or forfeit. In case of bad weather on day 
of match, tlie same shall take place on the first favorable day there- 
after. No challenge will be accepted or recognised until alter

THE GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP. 
On March 19 a strong body of the best shots of the Western 
counti'y will leave Chicago for the East to participate in the Grand 
American Handicap at Elkwood Park, N. J. There will be about 
forty-four of these men, representing eight different States, the 
party having been arranged by Mr. E. S. Rice, of the Du Pont 
Powder Company. The names of these gentlemen, as nearly as 
tbey can be determined from their expressed intentions at date, 
are as follows, the party including also several ladies: 
Chicago: Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Rice, W. L. Shepard, Dr. and 
Mrs. S. Shaw, Ralph Kuss, John Watson, Ed Bingham, Silas 
Palmer, C. P. Richards, H. Vi''oodruff, Dr. H. H. Frothingham, 
John Glover, Fred Lord, George Roll, Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Carson, 
Thomas Hicks. 
Illinois: Hon. Tom A. Marshall, Kcithsburg; Lee Huckins, 
Kewaunee; Albert Bacon, Henry; E. E. Bacon," Kewaunee ; Wm. 
Dunnell, Fox Lake; ITcnry Dunnell. Fox Lake; Albert Bunnell, 
Fox Lake; Thos. Laflin, Rock Island. 
Undecided : Mr. Chauncey M. Powers, Decatur. 
Iowa: L. C. Abbott, Dr. Kibbev, Peter Densil, J, A, Lane, 
Marshalltown ; Chas. M. Grimm, Clear Lake; Chas. W. Bndd, 
Des Moines; Fred Gilbert, Spirit Lake, 
Nebiaska: Walter G. Clark, George Loomis, Frank Parmelee, 
Mr. Reynolds, Omaha. 
Wisconsin: Dr. J. L. Williamson, Geo. L. Deiter, John Plank- 
ington, Jr., Mr. Bush, Milwaukee. 
Undecided: Richard Merrill, Milwaukee. 
Minnesota: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. P. Shattuck, Minneapolis; 
Dr. Lewis W. I>yon, St. Paul. 
Indiana: J. C. Small, J. W. Hill, Aurora. 
Missouri : J. E. Riley, Kansas City. 
I^ndecided: James Porter. Lee Porter. 
.'\rkansas: John .Schmelzcr. Jr., Hot Springs. 
South Dakota : Mr. E. A. Leach, Tripp. 
The party will leave here at 7 P. M. oa March 19, over the 
Grand Trunk Railway. They will take in Niagara Falls, 
and from Buffalo will go East on the limited train of the 
Lehigh Valley Railroad. There is no need to announce the time 
of their arrival, for there will be a dull heavy jar in the neighbor- 
hood of New York when they get off the train. They go resolved 
to win first money again this year, and also resolved to bring back 
the Grand American Handicap to Chicago for 1899. They will be 
a fine lot of fine fellows, and will be sure to deserve the courteous 
treatment that has always been accorded them in the East. Wc in 
Chicago expect that first, second and third high guns in the great- 
est of all American shooting contests will come from the West, 
and if there is anything else lying around loose, we shall expect 
to have that also, to show there is no coldness. As to the han- 
dicapping, our men feel very sure there will be no discrimination 
against the West, nor against any other seciton; but should all 
the Western contingent be put at 40yds., we should expect to 
win, none the less. The West expects every man to do his duty. 
PETERSON— RAY. 
A race at 100 live birds, $100, was shot at Omaha, Neb., Feb. 
28, between George Peterson, of Coon Rapids, la., and Ray, of 
the Omaha Gun Club. The match came oft at the groimds of the 
Omaha Gun Club, Mr. Frank Parmelee refereeing. The men 
tied on 91 out of the first 100. In the shoot-off at 25 birds, Peter- 
son scored 22 and Ray 21, leaving Iowa the victory. 
ERB— BECK.

field, Ind., has challenged for the cup. The race was shot on 
the grounds of the Limited Gun Club. 
CENTRAL KANSAS SPORTSMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 
The success of the sportsmen of Newton, Kans., in their re- 
cent tournament has led to the organization of another general 
organization of shooters. This will be know.n as the Central Kan- 
sas Sportsmen's Association, and will be composed of the gun 
clubs of the territory bounded by Atchison on the east, Arkansas 
City on the south, Abilene on the north and Dodge City on the 
west. Tournaments will be held every three months. " This is 
merely a strong district organization, and does not conflict with 
the State Association, but will be governed by the rules of the 
latter. The following officers have been elected: George B. 
Dougan, of Newton, President; H. L. Ford, of Wichita, Vice- 
President; H. S. Montgomery, of Topeka, Secretary and Treasurer, 
AT MILWAUKEE. 
The Milwaukee Gun Club, of Wisconsin, held a two days' shoot

Frank Van Ells, George L. Deiter, Stephen Meunier, of Mil- 
waukee; W. Schuchardt, of Merton, and Dr. Browall, of Palmyra. 
On the second day the weather conditions were better, and the 
shooting more satisfactory. The Wolf trophy contest was begun, 
but will have to be settled at a later time. Ruble and Browall 
having withdrawn, the trophy will be contested for by Theo- 
dore Thomas and J. L. Lewis, who both killed 10 straight. 
Thomas, Meunier and Himmelstein were among high guns on 
the second day.

to fall off during this year. The principal trophy of this club 
is the Clark and Mollison silver loving cup. This cup will be 
owned by the man winning it five times in the weekly contests. 
Mr. C. E. Grun, of the Pipestone Gun Club, o'f Minnesota, 
writes that his club expects to hold a two days' tournament at 
targets and live birds at an early date, though the latter has not 
yet been determined. A good local attendance is anticipated. 
The Timber City Gun Club, of Maquoketa, la., is a new club^ 
but expects to have thirty-five members at its regular shoots the

club we ever had here. We are getting some good guns here, 
and taking quite an interest in trap-shooting."

EUREKA. ANNUAL, 
The annual banquet and meeting of Eureka Gun Club, of Chi- 
cago, was held at the Leland Hotel on the evening of Feb. 22, 
the affair being informal, but very pleasant. Dr. C. W. Carson 
was in the president's chair and Mr. W. A. Jones at the secre- 
tary's place, others of those present being as follows; Messrs. 
W. F. De Wolf, J. L. Jones, A. C. Paterson, John T. Glover, 
Ed Steck, T. Frank Liddy, Joseph F. Forbrich, C. C. Hess, Hoyt 
Shaw, R. B. Carson, H. B. Morgan, W. H. Cornwell, H. Lord, 
E. H. Goodricli, F. F. Spreync, Mrs. E. M. Steck, Miss Anna 
Liddy, Mesdames Joseph F. Forbrich, C, C. Iless, D. Thomson, 
C. W. Carson, R, B. Carson. H. B. Morgan. 
The Leland served a very tasteful repast at nicely decorated 
tables. At 10 P, M. the ladies withdrew, and business of the 
annual meeting began, introduced by a brief speech by the re- 
tiring president. In the routine work it was shown by the treas- 
urer that the income of the club for the year was $845 and the 
expense .$695, this leaving $150 in the treasury. The officers showed 
that the club was in a very solid condition, inventorying over 
$1,000 worth of fixtures. A graceful act was done in remitting 
the dues of Mr. Thomas Marshall, who is a non-resident member 
of the club, who came at his expense all the way from Keithsburg 
to help Eureka Club in the Eureka-Garfield match last Saturday. 
On motion of Mr. Lord it was decided to provide a first and 
second prize badge for each class in the club membership, owner- 
ship to be decided by the twelve best scores in the club shoots 
of the season. The board of directors were instructed to hold 
an informal ladies' night banquet at some later time, this to be 
distinct from the regular annual business meeting. The club 
determined to send one or more teams to the interstate shoot 
next June. In the election of efficer.s the following very satis- 
factory results were announced; President, F. IT. Lord; First 
Vice-President, J. L. Jones; Secretary and Treasurer, C. C. Hess; 
Captain A. C. Paterson; Directors, A. W. Adams, John T. 
Glover, E. S. Rice, W. R. Morgan, F. P. Stannard, L. H. 
Goodrich. Eureka Chdj is one of the stand-bys of this city, and 
it enters its career for the coming season fully equipped and en- 
joyirig the confidence of the shooting fraternity, 
WESTERN SHOOTERS ATTENDING HANDICAP. 
AjTangcments have been made for the Western shooters at- 
tending the Grand American Handicap in March to put up at 
the Hotel Norwood, Long Branch, N. J., where everything will 
Ise made suitable for their comfort and amusement. 
CICERO GUN CLUB. 
Cicero Gitn Club, of Oak Park, Cook county, held an all-day 
shoot at live birds an targets Feb. 22 at its grounds, west of 
Chicago. The weather, although cold, was not particularly disa- 
greeable to the few enthusiasts present. _ The grounds were cov- 
ered with snow, making a low-flying white bird hard to find; and 
the birds were as fine a lot as were ever trapped on our grounds, 
not one of them remaining 10 seconds at the trap. They were - 
tlirce-quarters carrier pigeon stock. The events were as follows: 
No. 1, five live birds: Barnard 3, W. Einfeldt 4. 
No. 2: W. Einfeldt 3, Nusley 4, Jennings 1, D. Einfeldt 1, Fur- 
beck 3. Barnard 2. 
No. 3: W. Einfeldt 4, Nusly i, Jennings 2, Furbeck 2, Kittle- 
strings 5, Barnard 4. 
No. 4: W. Einfeldt 3, Nusly 3, Jennings 1, Furbeck 2, Barnard 
3, Odell 3, Kittlestrings 3, Thurber 3, Billing 3. 
No. 5: Einfeldt 2. Nusly 3, Jennings 2, Furbeck 3, Barnard 5, 
Odell 4, Kittlestrings 4. Thurber 3. Billing 3. 
No. 6: Einfeldt 5. Nuslv 2, Jennings 0. Furbeck 3, Barnard 4, 
Odell 2, Thurber 1, Kittlestrings 5, Lowrey 3. 
No. 7 was a miss-and-out on the remaining birds, and was di- 
vided by Einfeldt and Barnard, each killing 3. 
Some target events followed. The snow was very trying on 
the eyes of the shooters. At the live birds Furbeck was usisg 
too long a shell for his pump, and this lost him several birds.
