WESTERN TRAPS. 
BINGHAM-STANNARD. 
Chicago, 111., April 26.— The match to-day between Eddie Bing- 
liam and W. D. Stannard for the E. C. cup, the Cook County 
League trophy, was a walk-over for Bingham, who beat his rival 
16 birds. The wind made the targets erratic, and the conditions 
were not easy, as may , be seen: 100 targets, 20 singles, known 
angles and traps, 25 expert rules, 25 reverse pull, 15 pairs. Score:

ELLIOTT-GILBERT. 
The race between J. A. R. Elliott and Fred Gilbert for the 
Star cup to-day was interesting and somewhat surprising. Gilbert, 
holder of the cup, was considered safe winner, especially since 
his remarkable race with Parmelee, one of the best scores he ever 
shot. To-day, tinder conditions at least 10 birds to the 100 easier, 
he only duplicated his score of 86, and showed some very ragged 
work indeed. His score of 16 birds out of 25 in the second quar- 
ter of the race is the lowest that Fred has shot for many a day, 
nor is he likely to go so low again very soon. He caught several 
very fast low birds which went off to the right at such a gait 
that he seemed not to find them at all. In the second half 
of the -race he stiffened up and closed the gap, but could not 
pyercome the remarkable lead of 7 birds which he had allowed 
nis opponent to gain. 
Elliott on the other hand shot in slashing style. Of course 
he missed his first bird, as he usually does, and he was one 
behind at the end of his first 25. He was grinning and happy 
■oil the 50 turn, and then began to be so confident that he was 
a little careless at times. He came back to Fred so rapidlv 
that there were only two birds between them. However, he forged 
■ahead a couple more before the end of the race. Elliott's high 
run was 33 birds, and Gilbert's high run 21 birds. Gilbert led 
up to the 28th bird, where Elliott said good-by to him. At the 
36th bird Elliott was 4 ahead. At the 50th he was 7 birds ahead. 
At the 69th he was only 2 ahead, and was showing some work so 
careless that many thought Gilbert would yet win. The latter, 
however, was a beaten man and could not close tlie 2-bird gap. 
Elliott should have scored 3 more birds than he did, being too 
careless with his work, as when he allowed a flagged bird to jump 
up and come directly at him, but get away unhurt. 
The weather was perfect for the Kansas City man, being bright, 
clear and warm. The wind was fresh and brisk, and it was a 
good shooting day. The wind came quartering from the score 
in the direction of a right quartering driver. There was .some 
talk that Elliott was luckier in the birds. He may have been 
in his second 25, but the luck of the birds runs about even in 
the 100 on the Watson grounds. The referee was of course Tohn 
Watson. The park dogs did the retrieving. Elliott shot his 
Winchester repeater, 42gr. of Hazard powder and l%oz. of 7s 
m Leader shells. Gilbert used his L. C. Smith gun, 3iAdrs. of 
Du Pont powder and li,4oz. of 7s in Leader shells. 
Among the spectators at the race were Jimmie Whitfield, of 
tike Kansas City Star; Dr. Whittier, of Kansas Citv; Bee, of 
Nebraska; Dick Merrill, Ed Silverman, E. E. Rogers and G. 
L. Deites, of Milwaukee; Elmer Neal, of Bloomington, Ind. ; 
and J. J. Hallowell, Jr., of the U. M. C. Co, All these took 
interest m watching the latest race among the cracks. At the 
close of the race Elliott announced that he would give any one 
the chance for this cup between now and the Kansas City' tour- 
nament. If the four men eligible to shoot in the final race 
for this trophy would put in $100 apiece and shoot at 100 birds, 
they would have a sportier event than can be possible in a 25-bird 
race. Jimmie Wliitfield, of the paper presenting this cup, tells 
rne that he has had some fine large-sized photographs made 
of It, and will give one to each contestant for the cup. 
In the order of the birds to-day Gilbert killed straight to his 
*th, which was not injured. His 20th halted at the trap, but then 
sprang high and got away. His 28th was low and fast and was 
nnliurt. He shot to the left of his 29th with his second barrel. 
He overshot his 31st. His 32d was low and fast, and fell against 
the wire in its eft'ort to get over. His 33d was high and fast, 
•and got away. His 36th was similar, and was hit very light with 
the first barrel. His 41st was a fast bird, and was hit hard, but 
•escaped. His 4-fth was low and swift, and was apparently not 
touched. His 45th wabbled over the wire. His 48th was missed 
'clean. His 56th was killed at least 48yds. from the score, and his 
■57th was another lucky long kill. Good work with the dog 
stopped his 64th bird. His 65th was flagged. His 70th wabbled 
^across the wire. His 84th was one of his low hoodoo birds, and 
he could not stop it. His 87th was a good kill on a fast one. 
His 89th he missed clean with his first barrel, but stopped it 
with his second at long range. Another long second on his 91st 
brought applause, and again on his 93d he used a good second. 
His 98th bird was apparently not touched. 
Elliott's 1st bird was knocked down inside the wire, but the 
dog could not gather it. His 9th was high and fast, and twisted 
out of both loads, and the same should be said of his 11th. His 
25th and 32d birds were startling long kills. He then settled 
down and did steady and clever work for his long run. He 
undershot his 51st bird, which was very high and fast, and he 
could not score his 55th, although it was jarred heavily. His 
59th was a careless snap shot. His 65tli struck the wire, but fell 
across and could not be scored. Luck, however, evened up, for 
his 68th bird wabbled up against the wire and fell dead inside. 
His 69th was a piece of careless work, but his 70th brought out 
applause, when he stopped a screecher with his second apparently 
at 50yds. His 68th bird hit the wire. His 76th was killed on top 
of No. 5 trap, but was so swift a flyer as to bring applause. On 
his 78th and S2d birds he did fine second barrel work, and on 
his 86th he caught one of Gilbert's hoodoos, a low and fast 
driver, which, however, he killed. He finished strong with 24 
out of his last 25, and won very cleverly. Score: ■

son's at 2 o'clock to-day. Paterson was, under the handicap, placed 
at 20yds,, and shot at 25 birds. Cnnnyngham was placed at 29yds. 
and given 26 birds. The latter, however, forgot to avail himself 
of his advantage in distance for more than three or four birds 
in the race, shooting for the most part at .30yds. 
This little race afforded a good deal of tun for the spectators. 
The weather was perfect, bright and clear, with a light wind. 
The birds turned out unexpectedly fast, and both men made 
some grand stand stops of a most sensational character. 
Cunnj^ngham is about one-quarter as big as Patti, and is 
snappy and positive in action. He fell down on his 6th bird, 
which was not caught with the second. On his Sth bird he 
actually shot ahead of the bird, which started slow, whereas the 
others had been fast. His 11th was fast and high, and was not 
hit. His 13th was a screaming stop, and his 15th and 19th were 
also deep field kills on very fast birds. Plis 21st fell in bounds, 
but the dog could not gather it. His 22d was a sensational kill. 
On his 24th bird Cunnyngham had hard luck, which possibly lost 
him the race. His second barrel failed to e.xplode the shell, and it 
was found that the plunger was broken. He borrowed Mr. Pater- 
son's gun, which did not fit him, and missed the next bird with 
his one remaining barrel. He managed to kill his nex^ two birds 
with Mr. Paterson's gun, and so tied the score. 
Mr, Paterson shot behind his second bird with his first barrel, 
and could not stop it inside the wire. His 6th bird sprang very 
high and was undershot. His 8th was killed with as fine a shot 
as ever was seen on John Watson's frounds. His 9th was shot 
too far back and wabbled over, and his 10th repeated the same 
performance, though hit very hard with both barrels. On his lltli 
he was slow getting on, but he stopped the bird at extraordinary 
range. On his 14th he flinched about 4ft. away from the bird, 
but killed it with his 2d, On his 21st he got a lucky wing with 
his second. His 22d was hard hit, but got away, and his 23d, 
equally high and hard, was only stopped with a fine second bar- 
rel. His 25th was flagged and proved an easv kill. On counting 
up the stfings it was found that the men were tied on 20 each. 
After some talk they decided to shoot off the tie one week from 
to-day. In the race to-dav Mr. Cunnvngham shot a Westley 
Richards gun, 3'^drs. of Schultze powder IVi. oz. 7s in Smokeless 
cases. Mr. Paterson shot a Remington gun, SVodrs. of Du Pont 
powder, ll^oz. .7s in- Leader shells. Seores :

After the Elliott-Gilbert race, "U. M. C." Hallowell cast his 
roving ej^e about for some easy money, and finally got on a 
race with B. Dicks, a Chicago heavy-weight. They only shot at 
10 birds, as Mr. Dicks said he could not afford to 'pay for any 
more than that. Instead he did not have to pay for any. Score:

PATERSON-CUNNYNGHAM FOR THE CHICAGO TRO- 
PHY. 
April 29. — The trustees of the Chicago challenge trophy met 
earlier in the week to decide which one of the challenges for 
that trophy Mr. Paterson should accept. The decision was that 
Mr. V. L. Cunnyngham's challenge should hold. To avoid future 
complications the trustees decided to require that all future chal- 
lenges for the trophy shall be made direct to the chairman of 
the Board of Trustees, W. P. Mussey, 106 Madison street, and 
shall be in writing, accompanied by the necessary forfeit money, 
which is only the cost of the birds. The first challenge received 
complying with the above conditions will be the one considered. 
Jlr. Paterson and Mr. Cunnyngham shot their race at Wat-

Ch icago, April 30. — ^The Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, held its 
regular weeklj' target contest on the club grounds, corner Seventy- 
ninth and Vincennes avenue. The day was one with an overcast 
sky, accompanied with continuous rain, which lasted until late in 
the afternoon. The attendance was small, but continued to shoot 
notwithstanding the elements. The wind blew strong in the .face 
of the traps, which made the flight of the targets generally sky- 
ward.

a similar number from Peoria, who came over to Pekin to engage 
in a little team race, 25 targets per man. The home talent won, 
the score being Pekin 223, Peoria 221. There will be a return 
match, as the Peoria men think that 2 birds does not mean a de- 
cisive difference of skill.

teur tournament April 27, with about sixty entries. J. A. Ruble

averages w^ere as follows: F. D. Alkire, Woodlyn, O. ; F. N. 
Snow, Brooklyn, O.; John Ruble, Chicago; Ralph Valentine. 
Monroeville, O. Snow made a 25 straight run the last day. O. 
P. Garland made four straights, and a squad of five killed 74 out

Centredale, R. I., May 1. — ^inclosed find scores of the third 
shoot for the C. F. Pope Co. trophy, held on our grounds Satur- 
day, April 30. The event brought out twenty entries, the largest 
of the season. The scores made were not very good, but when the 
wind, which was blowing a hurricane, is taken into consideration, 
they were exceptionally good. F. I. Hammond and C. M. Stanicls 
tied for lirst with 41 each, thereby receiving 5 points, and C. C. 
Griffith and N. PI. Sheldon, tied for second, receive 3 points 
each; Mr. Thoene, third, 1 point. The score now stands Griffith 
13 points, Sheldon 9, Hammond 6, Staniels 5, Gavitt 3, Greene 1, 
Thoene 1. The fourth shoot will take place Thursday, May 12, 
on the grounds of the Providence Club. Other events were shot, 
and .about 2,300 birds thrown from the magautrap, which worked 
like a charm. 
On Thursday, May 12, the .Pawttixet and Centredale clubs will 
try conclusions with the Providence Club for the State pennant, 
five men on a team.

Come, Bobbie, brace up, you have been fooling us long enough. 
Look out for Billy next time — three seconds you know! But don't 
lose sight of Grif. How the Doctor did smile yesterday, I was glad 
to see it, for he hadn't smiled m a long time. Good luck to 
the new Pascoag Club. - N. F. Reimek, Sec'y, C. G. C.

Valley City Gun Club. 
Grand Rapids, Mich., April 30, — I am pleased to state that the 
Valley City Gun Club has taken on a new lease of life, and expects 
to have a vigorous campaign this season. Inclosed circular letter 
indicates the plans proposed, and prospects are that a lot of new 
blood will be infused into the club. Scores of last shoot here- 
with. In the trophy shoot Kelsey tied Beeson, who won it the 
week before on a score of 24, or 23 targets. In the shoot-off the 
next 35 single targets, or events S and 10, were to decide, and 
resulted Kelsey 22, Beeson 21. The Junior medal was a tie be- 
tween Lisle and Rood on 16, and won bv Rood in the shoot-off 
on 17.

Dansville Gun Club, 
Dansvillk, N. Y;, .April 29.— The Dansville Gun Club held its 
regular practice shoot to-day. Again the April shower was with 
us. It may make May flowers, but it also makes unpleasant .shoot- 
ing, and consequently only a small number of shooters joined in 
the sport, The club will soon have the shooters' score under 
coyer, and then, with the magautrap to throw the targets, we 
can bid defiance to the elements, and the shooting will go merrily 
on. The following scores were made : „ „
