the trap-shooters of Chicago ai:e at length rid of a well meant but 
cumbersome and unsuccessful organization which has taken up 
a great deal of time and proved a large-sized Jonah all around. 
In the course of the next few years it may be possible that any 
interested party who is diligent in figures may be able to cal- 
culate what the different classes rn this elaborate and complicated 
system were, what they won, how they won, and wlioni it belongs 
to; but the shooters of Chicago have resolved that they have 
had enough of this differential calculus. It was one 'of those weill- 
pianned and apparently well-featured enterprises — well coaducted, 
moreover— which in practice proved different^ from what th'ey 
seemed in theory. • It was not satisfactor}% and it is no more". 
Inasmuch as the League concluded to disband, the question 
of a series of intercity shoots, earlier mentioned as among the 
possibilities for this section, could _ therefore not be ta_ken up. 
It will be carried forward under different form. I believe this 
idea originated with Charlie Antoine; at any rate Mr. Antoine 
has been writing to several different clubs, representing the cities 
of Ro'ckford, Elgin, Aurora and Milwaukee, all adfaccnt and ca.sily 
accessible to Chicago,- and all these different bodies are desirous 
of entering, into an arrangement for a series of contests for the 
coming season. There is little doubt that such a series will he 
arranged. This, with the regular club shoots of this city, will give 
the trap lovers of Chicago a far more rational and enjoyable 
season than the schedule of the now defunct league, with its rami- 
fications of classes and possibilities of jockeying in teams, which 
took all the genuine pleasure out of the past two years of Chicago 
club shoots. The directors decided that Garfield Club -won in 
the A Class teams. Calumet in the B, Eureka in the C; D Class 
not placed, though Garden City filed a protest, which protest now 
has no head to which it may be carried. 
Let the teams of the different cities put aside a small sum- 
per m-an at each shoot, to go toward a season grand prize or a 
good trophy, and then let them shoot for their s%yeep monejf 
at each contest with such entry as they like. This will give 
them a plain, simple and sportsmanlike schedule, and will avoid 
a lot of wrangling over the old-time plunder prizes, for which 
thanks are never returned, and for which owners are not always 
in evidence, as in the case of some of the prizes of this body, 
which has now peacefully laid down its burden of classes and 
plunder lists, 
At'the meeting to-night a report was submitted from the former 
secretary, Mr, Fox, the saiue earlier submitted at the directors' 
meeting — a verv brief and bald statement of the doings of the 
League. Mr, Fox stated that he had sent out some ninety letters 
to manufacturers and others, asking donations. He had received 
forty-five replies and twenty-nine donations. There had been 
seven business meetings and blank number of field meets, at 
which blank entries were made and blank sums taken in, etc. 
He had received the entrance of four clubs, $20, of which he had 
expended about $13. The report was not satisfactory. The treas- 
urer, Mr. Richards, explained that the report had been read at 
the directors' meeting, and that the directors had refused to ac- 
cept it. He asked that their action be ratified, and that the sal- 
ary, $25, which had been voted to the secretary for his services 
for the season, be withheld, allowing him to retain the unexpended 
portion of what: money he had taken in, about $7. On tnotion 
this action was approved. 
The treasurer's report showed that the League had on hand 
a( the beginning of its last year $167.40. To this had been added 
sums from the different shoots, etc.. amounting in all to $503,57. 
Necessary expenditures had reduced this amount to .'SH^SS, which 
he now held on hand. The report of the treasurer was accepted. 
A motion to disband was carried. 
it was carried that the funds left in hands of the treasurer, after 
paying all remaining just bills, be divided among the ffve clubs 
making up the League, all bills to be paid and all claims settled 
not later than May 1. So the Cook County Leagite passed into 
history. 
The disbandment of the Cook County League conveys no sig- 
nificance in Chicago trap-shooting matters to the effect that the 
sport is weakening here, but rather means that it will be stronger 
now than for two years_ past,_ The clubs having^ set their hands 
to this enterprise all did their best to support it, thus allowing 
their own club matters to suffer. They were loyal as long as oos- 
sible, but now they are going to be loval to better enterprises. 
If there have been any mistakes they have been paid for, and 
the obseauies have been conducted uoon a cash basis, so that no 
one can have any grievance, "Requiescat in pace,"

EUREKA GUN CLUB. 
The Eureka Gun Club held its opening day contest on its 
grounds, corner Seventy-ninth and Vincennes avenue, to-day. It 
was largely attended. notwithstandin,e the coolnesR of the weather. 
There was a clear skv the greater part of the afternoon, with a 
strong wind blowing from the left quarter across the traps. The 
fliR-ht of the targets was somewhiat erriatic, and many poor scores 
were made. 
The club has started in the new year's work with a verv prom- 
ising future before it. The medal contests will be divided in three 
classes, namely. A, B and C, and there will be two medals in_ 
each class, for highest and second highest averages.

The medal contest for this year will be at 25 targets, from 
known traps, unknown angles, classified. As yet the shooters 
have not been classified, but this will be done before the May 
shoots start. 
The club has elected many new members during the winter 
months, and it is felt necessary that they should do some work 
at the trans before they can be properlv placed in classes for the 
season. Following are the scores detailed in the medal event:

GARFIELD GUN CLUB. 
The final contest of the winter series at live birds of the Garfield 
Gun Club was held to-dav at Watson's Park. Burnside Crossinsr. 
111., and was fairly well attended. Considerable interest was manifest 
on account of the closeness of the leaders of the series. Tberp 
•was a STOod light the entire afternnon, and the bird'^ were a good 
lot. The wind blew from the left quarter,_ and the birds were 
largely rierht quartering. Workman, -^vith his handicap of thirty 
birds, tied the leaders, Shaw, Ktiss and Wiley, They were un- 
able to agree on a division of the money, which consisted of all of 
the monev, amounting to about $75; hence the distribution is as 
yet unsettled. 
There were three moneys to the high guns, divided 50, 30 and 20 
ner cent. It is probable that the tie will be shot off in the near 
future.

The Eurelcas only lost first place by a narrow margin, with an 
average of 87 1-6 per cent. 
The Class D prize was not awarded to either the Garden City

WELLrNOTON. Mass, — Guns and p(iwders and the inevitable shoot- 
er fought for supremacy at Wellington, WednosdavT March 30, As 
it was no Grand American Handicap, but just a wee little pnaclice 
shoot, there is no tale to tell of the victor in either case; simnly 
a record made in grand good fellowship, and a lesson taught in 
how best to take recreation. Everybody went home feeling bet- 
ter tor the afternoon out of doOrs, regardless of the ups and 
down.s .shown so iilainly on the score sheet. But seldom does 
one hold so good as to be always on top with a variety o[ events 
tending much to level the totals. A straight in one event oil 
these' grounds is quite likely to be followed by a half in the 
next. This is encouragement for "others," and nobody secvires 
all the pie. 
To-day Woodruff and Miskay divided honors 'in the mdividhal 
match; Spencer and Eastman likewise in the team match, an even 
thing all round. Straights succumbed one each to AVoodruff, 
Jacic and Spencer, two each to Hollis and Miskay, while East- 
man is to be felicitated on a smaller straight of five at one man up, 
five unknown traps, arid angles. Scores complete:

Boston, 
Re the Grand Amerkan Handicap. 
Chicago, April 1.— Editor Forest and Stream: It has been truth- 
fully said that where there were many men there would be many 
minds, and I am prepared to subscribe to the truth of this say- 
ing. 
In the Western party recently visiting Elkwood, N. J., there 
were fifty-two people, and I find nearly as many minds upon some 
subjects. 
Arriving in Chicago two days later than the main bodv of the 
partjr, I was somewhat surprised to learn that various degrees of 
satisfaction or dissatisfaction witk the Grand American Handicap 
had been expressed. 
While I do not for a moment assume to speak for others, 
permit me to say, first, that officers of the Interstate Association 
treated the Western gentlemen with greatest possible courtes}'; 
second, that the handicapping of the party, with one exception, was 
entirely satisfactory, and any objection that might have been 
made in the case of the one was made impossible by a correction 
\eforc the handicapped went to the score for the first time. 
Third, I think I may safely say that where dissatisfaction is 
expressed it is not with the management of the Grand American 
Handicap, with the treatment of the Western sportsmen by fel- 
low sportsmen of the East, or with the handicaps, but with an 
adjustment or division of moneys contributed alike bv all who en- 
tered the one great event, which was so disposed of as to make 
imoossible a division in favor of those who in the one event killed 
as high as 23 out of 25, or shooting at a 92 per cent. gait. 
This is the one weak spot, it seems to nie, in the management 
touching disposition of prize money, and will I think prevent 
so large an attendance upon the occasion of next year's tourna- 
ment. 
Personally 1 desire through your good paper to thank every 
gentleman with whom I came in contact at Elkwood for courtesy 
and little attentions to myself or individual members of our West- 
ern Dat-t}^ 
This statement I make to the Interstate Association, to sports- 
men of the Fast and to whom it mav concern, understanding as I 
do that statements have been accredited to me not strictly in line 
with the foregoing or at all warranted hv the facts. E. S. Rice 
Revolver Club Notes. 
LouiSVLLE, Ky,. April 1.— Mr. Sim Watkins, the secretary of 
the Louisville Revolver Club, has presented the club with a medal, 
to be used as a competitive medal in the 15yds. distance, and the 
member making the two highest scores next month will be entitled 
to wear it until his record is broken. A time limit of 20 seconds 
for 6 shots is placed on this distance. The club has several crack 
shots, and much interest is taken in the contests. Visitors are 
always welcome to attend. . 
Mr. G. F. Norton, who joined at the last meeting, has ordered 
a beautiful silver cup, to be presented to the member making the 
highest average score during this month, at all distances, 10,_ 15 
and 20yds, This will be an incentive for the mernbers to make high 
scores and possibly break some of the now standing records. There 
will be a series of eight nights during the month, at which this cup 
is to be contested for. Each member is to shoot ten times at each 
vdastance, making a total of 30 shots per night. The cup will be highly 
engraved and will be a beautiful trophy for the winner. Mr. 
Norton first intended this cup to be given the member making the 
highest score in the anticipated Brooklyn-Louisville revolver tele- 
graph match, and if the clubs arrange the match in the next 
few days will allow it to be shot for as such; he i.S anxious tO 
have the contests come off this month.

Mr. Dye Scores 99. 
Mr. Eugene B, Dye, of the Louisville Revolver Club, at a prac- 
tice shoot yesterday at the Armory, made a record which will 
probably stand for seme time to come. Mr. Dye made a score 
r in °* ^ possible 100. shooting at a distance of 10yds. Out 
of 10 shots he hit the bullseye nine times, and the tenth time 
missed it by only the fraction of an inch. 
Mr. Dve used a new Smith Wesson revolver, .SScal.. double- 
action, 4in. barrel. Peters' cartridges were used, loaded with King's

Dr, Sumner Paine, of Boston, well kno-wn as a sportsman who 
IS entlnisia.stic m matters pertaining to the rifle, pistol and shot- 
gun, and a skillful performer himself with either, liberally 
devoted himself to the entertainment of the brethren during the 
late Boston Exposition. AVhile the entertainment necessarily 
ended with the Exoosition, the encomiums and appreciations live 
on. We have heard many kind words of esteem and appreciation 
uttered concerning him and his generosity to the stranger within 
the gates.

E. G, B,, New York,— What is the frost fish found in inland 
waters? The dictionaries give frost fish as another name for the 
tomcod, but the tomcod is a sea fish, I believe. There is a fresh- 
vvpter fish called the frost fi,=;h, formally too, as witness laws of 
1S92 as to the taking of frost fish and whitefish with nets in inland 
lakes. Ans. The frost fish to which voii allude belongs to the 
family of Salmonidte and is one of the white fi.shes. Its scientific 
name is Lorcgotms richardsonii. The names frost fish and fall fish 
are e-ivcn because the fish are caught in the autumn when running 
up the streams to spawn. It is not a game fish, as it does not take 
the hook, but is highly esteemed as a food fish. 
TtJ'. ?• Providence, Ky.— Can you tell me name of this fi.sh? 
Weis-ht from % to IVolbs. ; shape like green bass, only smaller 
-mouth: pale yellowish green on back: sides white, with from three 
to five indistinct stripes down the side, the middle stripe always 
darkest. They take minnows readilj- First noticed theni in a 
small tributary of the Ohio. Thev are only found during the 
latter part of March to the first of Tune. After that they all 
disappear. Do any of the U, S. fisheries stock anv of the 
streams with a fish of that description? It is a new fish for this 
country, Ans. The fish is probably the white bass (Roccus chry- 
■■!of>s), a native fish common to the Great Lakes and upper Mis- 
sissippi Valley. Jordan describes this fish as "Silvery, greenish 
above, sides with several duskv longitudinal streaks, those belov^ 
lateral line more or less interrupted. Dorsal fin 9 hard rays and 
14 soft,_ anal 3 hard and 12 soft." The yellow bass (Morone inter- 
rtipja) IS often confounded with the above: it has 7 distinct black 
.stripes; those Mow Intcral line interrunted behind and beginning 
lower down. Dorsal 9 hard and 12 soft ravs; anal 3 hard and 9 
soft. Ihe range of this fish is given as the lower Mississippi 
north to Brookville, Ind. It is possible that our correspondent 
ma-v tind both species near him. We do not think that the U S 
JH. has planted any new percoid fishes in the Ohio.
