FOSS VS. PATERSON. 
The event for the Chicago challenge trophy took place to-day 
at Watson's Park, Burnside Crossing, 111., between H. B. Foss and 
A. C. Paterson, both of Chicago. 
The contest was attended with interest, and many enthusiastic 
friends of both participants. Many side bets were made of small 
money. There was a strong driving wind from the right quarter 
with an oyercast sky and occasional sunshine. It was expected 
that Foss, who is an old shooter at the traps, would have made a 
better showing, and the result of his efforts was somewhat of a 
disappointment to his friends. Paterson, who has held the trophy 
since it was first put up, showed himself to be in good form, and 
made a good score, notwithstanding the shooting was exception- 
ally difficult. 
The birds were a great lot of swift flyers, and'no hesitation was 
shown on their part when liberated from the traps. The flush 
ropes were an unknown quantity. Foss's eighth bird was a swift 
outgoer, which he grassed in good shape with the first barrel. 
His eleventh bird he missed clean with his hrst and made a good 
kill with his second. His twentieth was a good one, but his 
twenty-second was a whirlwind, which the best could not have 
stopped. 
Pateson shot a B. E. O. Remington, 3^drs. Dupont, and llioz. 
No. 7 shot. Foss used S^drs. of Schultze and T*4oz. of No. 7 
shot. 
Paterson's second and twentieth were both very low tailers, both 
of which were cleanly killed, his third and eighth were outgoing 
towerers which were nicely stopped, on his fourth he made a 
splendid stop with his first barrel and finished with the second, the 
bird was a strong swift tailer. 
Following are detailed scores, H. B. Foss shooting at 27 birds 
from 29yds., and A. C. Paterson shooting at 25 birds from 30yds.

It is understood that immediately after the contest Mr. Henry 
Levi, of the Garden City Gun Club, of this city, sent in a 
challenge for contest for this same trophy, and that he will be 
the next contestant for the same. Mr. Levi has been doing good 
work at live birds shooting recently. At the State tournament lie 
proved himself equal to the occasion, finishing in the ten hole 
with 31 others in the diamond badge event. Last week he scored 
9 in the trophy contest of the Garden City Club event of 10 live 
birds, and was high man. A surprise is to be looked for from 
Mr. Levi. 
EUREKA GUN CLUB. 
The Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, held its regular weekly target 
contest on the club grounds, corner Seventy-ninth and Vincennes 
avenue, on the afternoon of the 26th inst. The weather was ex- 
tremely warm notwithstanding a strong wind blew from the right 
quarter, which had a tendency to make the flight of the targets 
very erratic, in consequence of which few good scores were made. 
In the medal contest Mr. Cunnyngham led the contestants with 
21 out of 25.

A WORK OF ART. 
The Hunter Arms Co., of Fulton, N. Y., are sending out to 
favored individuals their beautiful portfolio containing eight water- 
color views of U. S. battleships and cruisers, the subjects chosen 
being the battleship Maine, of unfortunate memory;, the hattlH 
ships Massachusetts, Indiana, Iowa, the cruisers Minneapolis- 
New York, Brookljm and .Columbia. These ships are shown ir 
eight different colors, and the portfolio is a work of art of curreni 
interest, and of a sort to make one feel glad he is an Americar 
and not a Spaniard. 
NOTES FROM MANY TOWNS. 
•At." the fourth annual tournament of the Hazelwood Gun ClubJ 
of Anderson, Ind.,- manufacturers' agents were barred, and the- 
events held open for amateurs only, 
La Crosse, Wis., will have a new gun club, to be called the 1 
La Crosse Gun Club. The grounds are on French Island, and 
weekly shoots will be held. 
At the big Soo Gun Club tournament this week at Sioux City, 
la., experts were barred. C. J. Callison, of Cummings, la., won 
the interstate chalhtiionship m.cdal with At straight. The entry 
was heavy and the shoot a good one. 
The St. Paul Gun Club, of Minnesota, will hereafter shoot 
targets at 1 cent. 
Princeton, 111., will have a trap shoot on the Fourth. 
Algona, la., again has a gun club. There are twenty-five mem- 
bers, and some good shooting is appearing among the learners. 
Meets are held Wednesdays. 
The directors of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association held 1 
a meeting this week and audited bills. It seems that the Peoria' 
Gun Club came out a little ahead of the game on the tournament 
Wabasha Gun Club, of Wabasha, Minn., will hold a tourna- 
ment on the Fourth. Winona and other adjacent towns will send 
representatives. 
An interesting little trap shoot was held at Fox Lake, Wis., this 
week with a dozen or more entries from places near by. Targets' 
and live birds were shot. Rockwell, of Columbus, and Atkinson, 
of Markesan, reaped most of the honors. 
Winnebago Gun Club, of Oshkosh, Wis., is keeping up its' 
pleasant club shoots. The members use a magautrap, and a good 
attendance is usual. On June 21 the scores were: W. E. Fildes 
a S, ut , of 50 ' - T - P - Steier 3% J. Thomas 30, E. P. Sawyer 30 G 
A Buckstaff 30, W. W. Waterhousc 28, Chas. Maulick 28, Mm 
Meter 26, Oscar Crary 25.

Haverhill Gun Club. 
Haverhill. Mass., June 20.— The Haverhill Gun Club held its 
second annual meeting on June 13 and elected the following 
officers for the ensuing year: President, Ed J. George; Vice- 
l i-esident, F. J. Blake; Secretary- Treasurer, Geo. F. Stevens- 
( aptain, S. G. Miller; Members Executive Board, to serve in 
conjunction with the president, secretary and captain: Geo. IT 
Leighton and C. J. Orne. 
Two years ago twelve enthusiastic "gun cranks" met one 
evening at the gun store of Mr. John F. Brown and organized 
the Haverhill Gun Club. At their first annual meeting they 
numbered forty-one members, and at their last or second annual 
meeting fifty-six, a gain in membership highly gratifving to the 
originators of the club. The attendance at the weekly practice 
shoots has thus far been very light this season, but" that fact 
must be attributed to the dull times rather than a diminishing 
interest in the sport of target smashing, for the boys turn out 
well at the holiday shoots, and are counting on a regular surfeit 
of shooting at the coming Interstate tournament, Sept. 7 and 8. 
Quite a deal of enthusiasm is manifested over that event, and 
all hands seem to be imbued with a desire to do something 
toward making the shoot a pronounced success. 
It can hardly fail to be otherwise, for we have already re- 
ceived many promises of attendance from different sections, and 
given that, and abundance of enthusiasm in the home club all 
under the able management of Mr, Elmer Shaner, how can it fail 
to be a successful affair. 
Wc have a live town here of nearly 40,000 people, situated some 
thirty miles from Boston, on the Boston & Maine Railroad 
Our grounds are very pleasant and easily accessible by electric 
cars every fifteen minutes from the depot and hotels. We have a 
comtortable and roomy club house, and can easilv run two sets 
of traps if the attendance should warrant it. 
We hope to see many out of town shooters here on those 
two days, and can assure them one and all of a sportsman's wel- 
come, and our best efforts to make their visit a pleasant one.

Camp Comfort. 
The "Perfection" air mattress, manufactured by the Mechanical 
Fabric Co., of Providence, R. I., has been adopted for the 
equipment of many yachts, and because 0/ its portability and com- 
fort is liked by campers. These mattresses are inflated for use, 
and when deflated are so reduced in bulk and so light that they 
add practically nothing to one's duffle. Their use insures a com- 
fortable bed, and sound sleep and perfect rest at night are quite 
as important in the woods as at home. Send to the manufacturers 
for an illustrated catalogue. 
"The Ideal Handbook of Useful Information for Shooters " 
published by the Ideal Manufacturing Co., of New Haven, Conn 
contains a store of useful facts. It would be difficult to find a 
poser for the Handbook in any of the thousand and one ques- 
tions that come up about loading and the mechanical practices 
and principles of rifle, sholgun or revolver shooting. The shooter 
may profitably send for a copy and study its pages. Of coursa 
the long line of Ideal goods is illustrated and described.
