shot in only one event. 
STAR CUP. 
This contest was schediiled to beRin Thursday morning, and 
regardless of the fact that a drenching rain was falling, which con- 
tinued until well in the afternoon, the event was promptly started 
and shot to a finish without interruption. The bad weather kept 
the attendance down somewhat, but notwithstanding sixty-five 
entries materialized. This exceeded those of the previous year 
by three, and of course more than filled the guarantee. The race 
resulted in five men killing their 25 straiglit — Budd, Graham, J. B. 
Porter, Gottlieb and Glover. Eiglat killed 24, and of these Laflin, 
Heikes and W. A. Porter's birds were dead out of botmds. 
The tie was immediately shot off, resulting in a win for Budd, 
who had to kill 40 straigtit to obtain temporary possession of the 
cup. As the absolute ownership of the cup will be decided to- 
morrow, the tie was hotly contested by those interested. Glover 
was especially anxious to win it, as thereby he would only have 
to dispute with Elliott, Gilbert and Riley for its permanent pos- 
session. Porter was the first to lose, going out on his second bird. 
Gottlieb's 4th managed to get over the wire, and this retired 
him. Graham stayed until the 11th round, when he let a good one 
throw him out. Glover still hung on, but got his quietus when 
his 14th got away with the loss of a few feathers, as Eudd killed 
his 15 straight. The birds that put each of these contestants out 
of the race were good, fast ones, and it was no disgrace to lose 
out on such. 
This event was class shooting, entrance .$25, birds included, 
five monevs. The different places paid as follow^s: First .$73.10, 
second $38.05, third $20,30, fourth $14.05, and fifth $1.5.20. Of the 
sixty-five entries onlj' eighteen failed to share in a division of the 
purse, so naturally the moneys were pretty well cut up. 
The birds in this event were a good lot, when the number it 
required is taken into consideration. The first day they were 
somewhat hampered by the weather, though at times there were 
some exceedingly fast ones. The event was begun Thursday moin- 
ing and it was not until Friday afternoon that it was concluded 
and the tie decided.

STAR CUP CONTEST FOR FINAL POSSESSION. 
This race was decided Saturday and began about 3 P. M. re- 
sulting in one of the most exciting contests it has ever been mv 
lot to witness. With such men as the principals in this contest 
it IS but_ natural to expect a spirited race. However, it is ques- 
tionable if there ever was such uniform good shooting done under 
similar circumstances. Every one of the contestants was in the 
best of form and shot with rare skill and judgment, and it was 
only the very best of birds that managed to get away. Riley was 
the first to lose; he fudged on his 6th bird and was unable to re- 
cover m time to kill it with the second barrel. Aside from this 
little piece of bad luck, he shot a great race, centering all of his 
birds and killing them close to the trap. Elliott's 9th bird, though 
hit with both barrels, went almost to the wire before it lay down 
Gilbert had a piece of good luck on his 12th. This bird quartered 
off to the left, and was evidently hit too far back; it struggled hard 
to get out, but died against the wire. Glover's usual good luck 
forsook him in the 17th round, as this bird went about a yard be- 
fore it expired. However, he missed his 18th, and this virtuallv 
put him out of the money. Elliott's 19th bird caused all sorts 
of trouble, as it was only hit lightly, and being game made a 
great struggle to get away; however, it was gathered bv a most 
skillful piece of retrieving on the part of his brother Dave 
Charley Budd had been killing his birds close to the trap but 
his 22d, a big, fast one, went away with verv little damage 'This 
left only Elliott and Gilbert straight, but the latter immediately lost 
m the next round a bird very similar in flight to that of Budd's 
It now only remained for Elliott to kill his remaining two birds 
which he did in fine style, and thereby winning the cup without 
a tie, being the only one to kill straight. Budd, Gilbert and Rilev 
tied on 24, and they decided to shoot off for the remaining two 
moneys. This resulted in Riley getting second and Gilbert third 
The former killed 10 straight and Gilbert 9 in the shoot-off. 
The cup was first put in open competition at -the Missouri 
State tournament, two years ago. At that time it was won by T E 
Rileyj of Kansas City. Tn November of that year L A. K. Elli tt 
won It frotn Riley and retained it ixntil the second open competi- 
tion took ytlace, a j'car ago, when Sim Glover, of Rochester, N. Y., 
won it. J. A. R. Elliott again went after it, and defc.'itcd Glover 
for the trophy at Rochester in August, '97. Fred Gilbert won it 
from KUiott itl Kfinsiis City in October, '97, and defended il against 
him in Chicago during December of that year. Elliott, however, 
managed to regain possession of it by winning it from (rilbert in 
Chicago in April of this year; then he defended it againpt Heikes 
here two weeks ago. Charley Budd held it for about twellty-folU" 
hours, as he won it in. the opert contest Friday. 
The conditions of the race were 25 live birds, entrance. $25, money 
to go to the three bigli guns, being divided 50, .?0 .and 20 per Cent. 
All shooting froui the 30yds. mark, otherwise Americin Associa- 
tion rules. Mr. VV. V. Rieger, of Kansas City, was referee, and 
Mr. P. M. Kling, of St. Louis, Mo., was trap-puller. 
While there was no sunshine the weather conditions were good, 
though there was little wind. The birds were a superb lot, licing 
selected especially for this race, and were the best I have evei- 
seen here. Everything passed of! satisfactory id all ccmcjined 
and the best man won.

WESTERN TRAPS. 
CHICAGO CHALLENGE TROPHY. 
Chicago, 111., May 21.— There are thirteen pigeons, and T lielieve 
thirteen diamonds, on the face of the Chicago challenge trophy, 
and every one of them is unlucky. That imfortunate enibleiir 
seems born (o trouble as the sparks fly upward. The meeting 
last Monday did nothing to add to the auspiciousness df the 
trophy, but the rules were cut and amended till their own 
motlier wouldn't know them. Henceforth the challenger will 
notify the trustees when he challenges. All challenges heretofore 
filed have been wiped out. The challenge of Mr. J. H. Ambern 
is the first to be filed under the new rules. Meantime the medal 
reposes calmly on the broad chest of Mx. Paterson, where it will 
remain until further news from the center of harmony. 
CHICAGO ATHLETIC CLUB SHOOT. 
Trap-shooting is now recognized as one of the spi--rts of the 
Chicago Athletic Association, thanks to the efforts of Col. I'elton. 
Dr. Frothingham and other cognoscenti. Elsewhere will lie found 
the story of the first shoot. There will be no club formed in the 
C. A. A., hut such members as care to do so will shoot at the 
monthly contests at Watson's. 
ILLINOIS STATE SHOOT. 
The programmes for the big Illinois State shoot at Peori? Tune 
7-11, will soon be in the mail, conveying the detailed in' .nnation 
regarding what will he a large and interesting list of events. Tt 
is thought that the Peoria tournament will be really larger than 
any we have had for some years, as more of the chibs from 
the lower part of the State will go to Peoria than would tn 
Chicago, while the Chicago contribution to the tournament is ex- 
pected to be a very full one. Mr. E. S. Rice tells me he is 
making up a party to get a low railroad rate. Mr. Simmons, the 
secretary, is working hard, and it need not be said the big 
city of Peoria will be able to offer ample and pleasant accommo- 
dations to all. 
It is a feature of the coming year in the Illinois Slate As- 
sociation that we are to have a mid-winter shoot here at Chicago 
next winter, in accordance with the resolution introduced bv Mr. 
Mussey at the last convention. What, with the winter co;nv:ntion 
on the subject of game laws, a summer shoot, and a winter shoot, 
there seems to be no doubt of the activity and robust health of 
this standard old organization 
AT PEORIA. 
At the last medal shoot of the Peoria Gun Club, fiftv t.argels, 
thirty unknown angles and twenty expert rules, the follo\vin'c were 
the scores: E. Giles 44, G.' Putman 40, R. Jenkins 36, J. M. Brown 
43, A. E. Leisy 40, J. Fargo 26, F. Whitiiig 48. H. Connor 35, D. 
Thorne 40, R. Baker 41, J. Stafford 40, G. Simmons 41, W. Meid- 
roth 35, T. J. Scott 33, G. Weber 40, W. Wetjer 34. Fn.nk Whit- 
ing won the Herald trophy in the contest with A. E. I jisv. with 
a score of 23 to 22 live birds. Mr. Whiting also won th .• VVhiting 
medal from Mr. Leisy with a score of 45 to 41 targv ts. Then 
he went on to win the club medal with a score of 48 out of 50. 
It was evidently Mr. Whiting's day. 
NEAL-ERB. 
At Lafayette, Ind., May 17, Elmer Neal, of Bloomlield, Ind., 
defeated Fred Erb, of Lafayette, with a score of 88 to 81 live birds 
for the Grand Hotel cup. indicative of the State amateur ch.Tm- 
piyonship. 
COMING. 
The grand circuit of the West reaches Omaha next week, and the 
gathering of the clans there will be not less full and fit than it has 
been before. Frank Parmelee's town is nothing if not a shooting 
settlement. I luiderstand that at Kansas City civiiizalion has be- 
come very effete, so that some of the citizens have been seen wear- 
ing boiled shirts, but at Omaha any man caught wearing aiij'thing 
but a red flannel shirt is in danger of lynching. There will be a 
warm week at Omaha. 
The meet of the Ohio Trap-Shooters' League at Chprlie Young's 
town, Springfield, bids fair to be a big one. Ohio is full of fine 
shots, and they will go after the $250 in donations. 
At Huron, S. D., June 1, 2, 3, the Soutlt Dakota Sporlsmen's 
Association will hold its twelftli annual tournament. The Huron 
men are hard at work getting ready, and promise perfect arrange- 
ments. There will be a good attendance from Min iesota towns 
also for the opening shoots of the tournament. 
NORTHWEST. 
The fifth annual tournament of the St. Cloud Gun Club, of 
Minnesota, brought out a good little attendance from Minnesota 
and Dakota. The weather was windy, and the scores averaged low. 
In the grand average, Johnson, of Wilmar, was second;" I'abor, 
ex-State champion, of Park Rapids, third; Kobbiiis, of l^argo, 
champion of North Dakota, fourth; Warren Mendenhall, of DuluUi 
fifth. 
ILL. 
At Eau Claire tournament Oswald Von Lengerke, of Chicago,, 
was complaining of a stiff neck and shoulder. Later he was seized 
with a bad attack of muscular rheumatism, from which he is not 
yet perfectly recovered, so that his shooting has been cut into 
considerably this month. ]C. Hough.

lenge trophy, accepts the challenge of J. H. Amberg, and names

ditions governing said trophy. 
EUREKA GUN CLUB. 
The Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, held its regular wceklv 
target contest on the club grounds, ' corner Seventy-ninth and 
Vincennes avenue, on the 2lst inst. The flttepdance was fair for 
this time of the year, and the shooting cojitinued throughrut the 
afternoon until the shells gave out. Some practice was indulged 
in preparatory to the .State shoot, in the practice for the race o! the 
Smith t up. It is expected that this club will be foremost in repre- 
sentatir n at the Association contest at Peoria in June, and it is ex- 
pected that they will be represented with several teams in the 
tournament. , 
The shooting was very difficult throughout the day, and the 
elemen.ts were such that unusually poor scores ■were made. lol*

CHICAGO ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. 
Mfiy 19. -The Chicago Athletic As^'ociation, of this city, re- 
cently formulated a plan for a shooting contest confined exclusive- 
ly with nt Its memhership. The contest to be at live birds, for a 
gold medril, and shot on the grounds of Watson's Park Among 
the Association membership are a considerable number of enthusi- 
astic gentlemen, who spend manv days in the field during the 
shcotiiig season. Some are very, exi client shots, though their 
faces <"re not familiar at the State shoots. Many of these gen- 
tlemen, V hile equr.Ily enthusiastic, are not as experienced at the 
trrps, bi:t enter into the contest full ( f ambition with a view to 
becoming more skilled. 
'the worthy president of the Association, Mr, D. M. Lord, says 
thr.t he has not handled a gun in sixteen years, but is now 
going to commence anew again, and chow the other contestants 
a trick rr two before the season is over.. 
Dr. H. H. Frothingham was a very busy man during the con- 
test, acting m the capacity of captain and manager. There were 
many in attend.-.nce who did not participate in the contest to- 
day, l)ut are expected to in the next event, which promises to be 
of fully twenty-five entries. 
Ihc eonditions governing the trophv are; Shot under Ameri- 
can .Shooting Association rules, 15 Ihe birds, handicap of dis- 
tance as well as added dead birds to the weaker shooters. There 
are to he twelve contests in all, one the third Thursday of each 
mcnth, the trcphy to be awarded to the contestant winning it 
the ,',-reatest niimber of times. 
In the contest D. M. Lord, W. H. Thompson and E. A. Russell 
were allowed to continue out their scores, alternating with other 
shooters, to permit of their attending an Association meeting. 
Mr. Russell scoring a straight with the handicap allowance the 
shooters fc)llowing largely dropped out when their chances to tie 
with handicap birds were used up, consequently many failed to 
shoot out their full scores. 
The day was cool, with clouded sky and a driving wind from the 
right quarter. The birds wei-e a yery };-ood lot, and flew largely 
to the left quarter. Many goo,d kills Wjtre ■ma,de of hard birds, as 
well ns easy ones missed. 
Mr. William Kent, after killing 12 straight, stood to tie E. Rus- 
sell, who was the only straight, but his 13th bird had a curve in 
its flight which was difficult to get on to; this followed by his 
missing the next two, and he finished in the 13 hole. Mr. Russell 
shot a good race, centering his birds, and won over Edwards bv 
1 bird only. 
I'ollowing are detailed scores, giving handicap of distance and 
bud allowance: . . ."
