The Grand American Handicap. 
New York, April 21.— Editor Forest and Stream: It seems some- 
what unfortunate that so successful a shoot as the recent Grand 
American Handicap should have given rise to such an amount of 
hostile criticism as has been poured upon it and its promoters, 
the Interstate Association, by certain daily papers published in 
Western circles. Having been closely identified with the man- 
agement of the last three Grand American Handicaps, 1 feel 
personally interested in having these attacks, and the misunder- 
standings that gave, birth to them, ventilated as thoroughly as the 
columns of the sporting press will admit, with a view to relegate 
them to the position they ought to occupy in the history of the 
greatest live-bird event in the world. 
While it is perfectly true that the Interstate Association is a cor- 
poration composed entirely of manufacturers of and dealers in 
sporting goods, it is also perfectly true that this Association was 
not formed to cater to any one section nor to individuals. The 
purpose for which it was organized was the encouragement of 
trap-shooting, with the idea of increasing the consumption of the 
various articles manufactured and dealt in by the firms forming 
the Association. There is nothing quixotic or disinterested about 
its methods. Everything it does, or has done in the past, has been 
devised with that one end in view. The selection of the SouUiern 
and the New England States as the scene for its circuit of target 
tournaments in the last three years has been made solely with a 
view to fostering a spirit of trap-shooting in those sections where 
the sport had little more than a mere foothold. That was business. 
It \vas business too which prompted the interstate Association to 
retain the Grand American Handicap in its list of fixtures. From 
a very small beginning in 1893, the Grand American Handicap has 
grown to be something more tliaji an experiment. It has been a 
record-breaker during the past three years. In 1896 it broke all pre- 
vious records, and since then has kept on eclipsing its own 
records, initil in this year it reached a mark scarcely dreamed of 
before— 207 entries, with 197 actual contestants! After quoting 
the above figures it almost seems superfluous to say anything more 
in the way of explaining the action of the Interstate Association. 
It needs nothing in the way of a defense. Results show that its 
policy has been approved of by the shooters of the country. It 
seems, liowever, that there is still some misunderstanding as to the 
rights of the Interstate Association and the rights of the shooting 
public respectively in this great annual live-bird tournament. 
First, it is made to appear that (judging from the above- 
mentioned daily newspaper reports) the shooters of the West look 
upon it as a right belonging to them, that the Interstate Associa- 
tion should hold its Grand American Handicap next vear at some 
point in the West, Chicago, for instance. This I look upon as a 
slur cast upon Western shooters by some hungry space writer, 
who has grasped at an expressed wish and magnified it into a 
declaration of right. My reasons for so thinking are the interviews 
I have had with visitors from Western points both during the 
Grand American Handicap and at tournaments held since the date 
of the great shoot. 
Next, as I have said before, the Interstate Association is in the 
business not for its health, but for profit. It cannot, therefore, with 
any degree of wisdom go beyond its means, and the advertising 
obtained through the medium of the Grand American Handicap 
is bought at a good price. While the Grand American Handicap 
has now grown into an event of national importance among 
trap-shooters, it is still a private enterprise, and as such it is 
likely to remain. Such being the case, the Interstate Association 
names date and place, and draws up a programme which it carries 
out faithfully to the best of its ability, being governed by the time 
limit of three days for its tournament. This year, to accommodate 
the shooters in the tie for first place, it violated its rule and ran 
over into a fourth day. 
The selection of locality is the most important point of all. 
Learning by bitter experience in the years of 1895 and 189fi that 
it was necessary to make more than ordinary preparations for the 
comfort of the shooters^ the Interstate Association is never likely 
to take the Grand American Handicap to any place where 2O0 shoot- 
ers cannot be accommodated with comfort to themselves, whether 
the elements are propitious or not. Being a fixture that falls 
due in the springtime, when the weather is fickle, shelter from 
the storms that may come is a sine qua non when it comes to 
choosing the scene for tlie Grand American Handicap. Having 
been present as a newspaper man at all the meetings of the In- 
terstate Association when the choice of grounds was under dis- 
cussion, I think I may state without fear of divulging any State 
secrets that this point had more to do with the selection of the 
grounds than anything else. The comparative inaccessibility of 
Elkwood Park was more than counterbalanced by the ample ac- 
commodation furnished for the shooters, and by the perfect equip- 
ment of the grounds. The question of East or West, North or. 
South, never appeared in the discussion on location. To get 
the shooters to the grounds; to house them well and comfortably; 
and to carrjr out its programme to a successful conclusion, have 
always been the aim of the Interstate Association. That, again, is 
business. 
As to the prograihme and the division of the moneys, it seems 
very strange that \Ye should not have heard something of that 
prior to the conclusion (and the successful conclusion too) of the 
sixth annual Grand American Handicap. The division of moneys 
in this event has always been "high guns, not class shooting." 
It would be tiresome to count the number of times that phrase was 
repeated in the programme for the event of 1898. Anybody who 
read the programme with any degree of care must have seen and 
noted that "high guns" would win the money in every event, not 
in the Grand American Handicap alone. 
In 1896 there was no disapproval of this method of dividing the 
purse, but in that year there was not a single straight score! The 
eight 24s and the thirteen 23s divided the purse. The 22s got noth- 
ing. 
In 1897 th^re- was still flo expression of dissent in regard to 
the division of the purse. In that year Hon. T. A. Marshall won 
first money, $500, as the result of his 25 straight, which was the 
only one made. The weather was wild and stormy, and the 
birds were exceedingly good, hence the three-miss men got into 
money. The 24s each drew down $188.45, the 23s r-eceived $99.50, and 
the 22s got $19.55 apiece. 
Then came this year's event, with good birds, a first dfess lot, 
but with little or no wind to help them. The result was nine 25s 
and twenty-two 24s. Each of the 25s drew down $412.60, while the 
24s got $61.85 each. The 23s got nothing. Still thirty-one men 
out of the 207 entries got into the money, being a proportion of a 
little more than one out of every six entries. If anybody has one 
of the programmes for the Grand American Handicap lying on his 
desk let him turn to it, and he will find that the Association, in 
figuring out the moneys in the purse, had calculated up to 170 
entries, making two additional moneys for every ten entries above 
sixty; pretty close figuring, I take it. At the time of drawing up 
the programme, it was thought to be scarcely worth while to figure 
on more than 170 entries, so the proviso was made that in case 
there were more than 170 entries, all money in the purse in excess 
of $4,250— that is, 170 entries at $25 each— should go to form a fund 
to be divided equally among the ten high guns. This was thought 
by some to be wrong, but did any one, save the most sanguine, 
expect that there would be an addition of thirty-seven entries to the 
number figured upon? This gave a sum of slightly over $80 to 
each of the ten high guns, the total purse, forfeits and post entries 
included, amounting to $5,075. 
Suppose, however, that the Interstate Association had embraced 
a total of 200 entries in its figures, continuing its proportion of an 
additional two moneys for every ten entries over and above the 
sixty entries required to fill the guarantee of $1,500. This would 
have raised the total number of moneys from twenty-five to thirty- 
one. But there were just nine 25s aiid twenty-two 24s, or exactly 
thirty-one shooters in for money in those two classes alone! The 
forty-five 23s would not have received very much apiece, would 
they? 
Again, much stress has been laid upon the fact that the 25s each 
received $412.60, while the 24s, with one kill less, only received 
$61.85 each. This it was pointed out was a discrepancy that was 
aljsurd, and not warranted by the score of only a solitary kill more 
to the straight man's credit. But suppose that the nine straight 
scores had shot out for the money as well as the cup. Fulford's 
48 straight and Loomis' 47 straight would have netted them $600 
and $500 respectively, while Junius Davis (Jim Jones) would have 
received $400 for his 38 straight. How about the proportion there? 
Loomis killed 9 birds more than Jim Jones. 
Continuing this analysis, go on and figure out what would have 
happened had the twenty-two 24s shot out for place and money. 
Six of the 24s would have been shut out, while the last nine men on 
the list of those in for money would have received only $55 apiece. 
Also Elliott and Wagner, the two men in the straights who fell 
out in the first round of the ties, would have divided onlv 13 oer 
cent, of the surplus, while the high man in the 24s would have 
taken 5% per cent, of the surplus. Not much diflference there 
after all, is there? 
It is rather interesting to note that the stress is laid chieflv on 
the fact that a man scoring 92 per cent., or 23 out of 25, did not 
get into the money. Such a score, while certainly a good one, 
is good only relatively as it were. There were thirty-one shooters 
out of 197 who made scores better than 92 per cent.; and nine 
the thirty-one made 100 per cent. ! As a matter of fact, it is only 
feir to presume that had there been a gale of wind, such as pre- 
vailed in 1897, the majority of those 23s would have been com- 
paratively just as far out of the money as they were under the 
existing circumstances. While this may not be true in every 
instance, yet the argument is good as a whole. 
Knowing as I do the value of space in the trap columns of a 
Sportsmen's journal, ], must plead the exigencies of the case as 
my excuse for trespassing so boldly upon the same.

NEW UTRECHT GUN CLUB. 
Woodlawn, April 23.— The bi-monthly live-bird shoot of the 
New Utrecht Gun Club \vas held at Woodlawn to-day. and it was 
tairly well attended. The birds were a good lot, and .<tlso the 
shooting was good. Close scores were the rule. The grounds 
are in first-class condition. The addition to the house has been 
completed, and we will now be glad to have any of our friends 
to come and see us, and we will not feel ashamed of our grounds. 
The special cup shot for yesterday is to be contested for in live- 
birds shoots for the rcmaindei- of the season. The cup will be a 
beauty. Distance handicap and point allowance will be given in 
this contest. 
Clay-bird shooting next Saturday.

BROOKLYN GUN CLUB. 
April 23.— The shoot of the Brooklyn Gun Club, held on its 
gi-ounds to-day, was well attended, and the moments from tlie 
time the first gim was fired till the last were busily occupied 
with competition of some kind. Mr. Banks refused to enter in 
any of the sweepstakes, shooting for birds only, thus giving the 
poorer shots a showing in the top of the scale. In the two mer- 
chandise events, however, they being handicap events in which 
the competitors received a fair allowance of misses as breaks, 
he joined in the competiton, he being scratch man, a hopeless 
position in an event of that kind. 
Beveridge won handsomely in the gold button event with a 
straight score, the only one of the event. Wright won in the 
§un case event. The Troisdorf cup event was won by Waters. 
Several more contests are necessary before the absolute winner 
is determined. 
No. 9 was a fast event between Banks and Swan, each shooting 
his Winchester with the full six loads. Their quickness and pre- 
cision were extraordinary, there being smashed targets in the air 
close to each other while they were shooting. Their performance 
was heartily applauded. 
The weather was pleasant, there being no wind until about 4 
o'clock, when a gentle 5 o'clock wind sprung up. 
The contest for the gold cuff buttons resulted as follows:

WESTERN TRAPS. 
WEEK'S GRIST. 
Chicago, 111, April 21. — In the grist for the ensuing week I 
ob.serve the challenge of Monsgr. Edward Bingham by Mr. W. D. 
Stannard, for the Cook County League E. C. cup', lately won 
by Mr. Bingham from Mr. A. C. Paterson. This comes off 
Tuesday at 11:30, and the schedule laid down by Mr. Bingham 
includes 20 targets, unknown angles, 25 expert rules, 25 reverse 
pulls, and 15 pairs — pretty near the gamut of the traps. 
On Tuesday next, at 2 P. M., April 26, Messrs. Elliott and 
Gilbert meet for their last match for the Star cup. It would 
please the spectators if these two should get as hard a day for 
shooting as Gilbert and Parmelee met. I have seen some com- 
ment on the "low scores" made that day. Really the scores were 
not low at all, but very good ones. It was not a case of pop- 
up s, that was all. 
On Friday next Mr. Paterson will meet Mr. V. L. Cunyngham, 
who challenges for the Chicago live-bird challenge trophy, won by 
Mr. Paterson in the open event. This challenge was received 
too late for publication in last week's Forest and Stream, 
Mr. Paterson at a late hour determining to select Mr. Cunyng- 
ham in preference to Mr. Shepard or Mr. Amberg, as seemed 
his privilege under the rather loose rule governing on this point. 
The match will be, at Watson's, of course, and will be shot at 2 
P. M. Thus we shall not be altogether given up to ennui at 
the center of the West for the next few days. 
CINCINNATI GUN CLUB. 
Cincinnati is just a shade ahead of all the American Monte 
Carlo joint stock companies with its shares at $5 each and $525 
paid on one night. Mr. R. S. Waddell is top hustler there, 
and as chairman of the committee on site is ready to report 
on a location for the elaborate grounds. It is trusted that this 
club will be one of the great ones of the country, and will make 
much and honorable history. 
BUTTE AND ANACONDA. 
It was always one of the wonders to me to see trap-shooting 
attain such a hold as it has out in the mountain countries 
of the West, where one would think the attention of shooters 
would fall upon other things. Yet at many mountain cities 
of the West the sport is followed keenly. Out in Montaria the two 
sturdy cities of Butte and Anaconda have begun their season's 
friendly argument at the traps. The medal shoots of the Butte 
Gun Club have also begun, in the last one the medal being won 
by Christian son, captain of the club, with 24 out of 25, a very 
good score under the wind and rain, which made the sport 
difficult and unpleasant. Butte Gun Club is getting ready for 
the big State shoot. May 20-21-22. An addition has been 'built 
to the club house, the puller's stand has been raised to the second 
story, and the grounds have been leveled off in good shape. The 
distances are pretty long between towns out in Montana, but 
the State event has not yet failed of being a full success, and 
will no doubt be a repetition of such success this time.

Chicago, April 23.— The Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, held its 
regular weekly contest for medals to-day on the club grounds, 
corner Vincennes avenue and Seventy-ninth street. The attend- 
ance was light, owing possibly to the fact that many of its mem- 
bers, arc away from the city snipe shooting. The shooting was 
hard, owing to the overcast sky and the strong wind, which blew 
from a left quarter toward the traps. Large scores were infre- 
quent during the day. The following are scores in the practice 
event preparatory to the medal contest:
