WESTERN TRAPS. 
STILL DANGLES. 
Chicago, I1L, July 2.— As see the columns of Forest and 
Stream recently, the celebrated Chicago challenge trophy still 
dangles from the window of Forest and Stream at this shop, 
Mr. Paterson having again encircled it with the gay ki'bosh. It 
is getting a shade monotonous, this steady retention of the medal, 
and as it seems to lose interest I suggest we meet pretty soon 
and amend the rules some more. 
SOO SHOOT. 
Oyer 100 shooters at the last shoot of the Soo Gun Club would 
seem to indicate that the tournaments with bars to them are 
growing in popularity among the rank and file. It seems much 
this way to mc; an army can't get along without officers, but wc 
can't all be officers. Even if we could, an army without a few 
privates is not much good. Omaha was an officers' shoot, and so 
was Milwaukee to some extent, though such shrewd ones as Frank 
Parmelee and Charlie Grimm could see nothing in it with 19 to 
beat each time. Cleveland and Soo shoots were privates' shoots, 
and the rank and file came out in numbers. 
IOWA STATE TROPHY. 
The rival cities of Marshalltown and Waterloo, la., are still 
keeping up the race for the State trophy, which is now in the 
hands of Marshalltown. 
MUSKEGON CLUB. 
The live little city of Muskegon, Mich., has just organized a gun 
club with thirty-four members, and will buy a magautrap and a 
bunch of targets. Mr. E. T. Pennoyer has been elected president 
and H. A. Banknecht secretary and treasurer. 
PRETTY GOOD BUDGE. 
Out at Pine City, Minn., which is somewhere, there is printed 
a little paper which comes out monthly and is called Bedc's 
Budget. It costs but 25 cents a year, but its owner says, "It 
budges for all." In th<? current issue I observe the following little 
statement, which is a pretty good "budge" for all sorts of men 
to remember: 
"Those who have been arraying the North against the South 
have suddenly stopped, and now let those who are striving to cre- 
ate hatreds between the East and West take a tumble to them- 
selves. This is the United States, and we are the people." 
ODDITIES IN MERCHANDISE PRIZES. 
Not long ago a few old-timers were sitting and discussing to- 
gether- some of the current aspects and past phenomena of trap- 
shooting. The talk turned upon the merchandise prize, which 
most of those present seemed to think was doomed to an early 
death among the greater shoots of the country. "Speaking of 
that sort of thing," said one, "reminds me of some of the odd 
prizes I have seen offered at trap shoots at different times. Of 
course such things as household goods, chairs, tables, stoves, etc., 
are common, but that is only the beginning of the things man- 
agements have been known to beg as prizes. I had a friend who 
once won a ton of coal at a shoot. It was in the summer, and 
he was a visiting shooter! Another time I knew a man to win 
lOlbs. of beefsteak, and again one country shoot had as a prize twenty 
bread tickets. Frames for pictures, crayon portraits, a dozen 
photographs, a silk hat, an umbrella, a half-dozen shirts, a pair 
of rubbers, are among other things I recall as hung up for the 
hard-working and deserving shooter who is out for pleasure.' 
I was myself once lucky enough to win a box of condition powders, , 
though I am not sure they improved my scores any. A well- 
known shooter at a Pennsylvania shoot once accumulated a post- 
hole borer, a sort of machine with which a fellow might go out 
before breakfast and amuse himself a few lines. He rebelled at 
that machine, and said he was no post-hole digger, but a shooter, 
sir!" 
"That's not so bad," said another shooter who was listening, 
"but I think I can raise you one and still be within the truth. 
I was at a shoot once myself where the management had gone 
out and hustled among all the local business men, and they had 
a long list of what you know the boys call 'plunder.' It all went 
off pretty well except for myself. I won a fine, new, glossy 
coffin for second average. When they brought me out that thing 
I felt awful strange. I didn't want to be impolite and tell the 
folks that I had no use for it, for of course, you know, that sort 
of thing is useful once in a while. I just apologized the best 
I could and gave the coffin to a negro, who made it into cradle for 
his twins. That shoot gave me a kind of shock some way, and I 
have never much believed in merchandise prizes since then." 
Chicago, July 9.— The Fourth coming on Monday this year, gave 
the shooters of the clubs in this vicinity plenty of work at the 
traps. The weather, though warm, was accompanied with a good 
cool breeze, both on Saturday and Monday. 
The Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, held its regular weekly 
contest at the traps on July 2, with a slim attendance, as many 
of its members left the city to spend the Fourth.

GILBERT VS. MARSHALL. 
On the return of Fred Gilbert from the Milwaukee shoot 
he acepted the kind invitation of the Hon. Thomas Marshall, to 
spend the Fourth in Keithsburg, 111., where an elaborate pro- 
gramme had been arranged to celebrate. Dewey's great victory. 
Music by the band, a game of baseball, a three-legged race, 
bicycle, hurdle, and other races, even to a boat race on the Mis- 
sissippi, the day ending with a live-pigeon match between the 
gentlemen above named, and the evening opening with a grand 
display of fireworks, which continued well into the night. The 
race was at 50 live birds per man, and commenced immediately 
after the game of baseball ended. The score was: Gilbert 49, 
one dead out of bounds: Marshall 44, with 4 dead out of bounds. 
It is not known what the side bet might have been, but Gilbert 
flushed a new, crisp $50 bill on his return to Chicago without an 
explanation as to where he got it.

The Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, held its regular weekly con-

Centredale Gun Club. 
Centredale, R. I., July 7.— Our Fourth of July shoot did not 
come up to expectations in regards to number ot entries, as 
only nine shot through. The reason was plainly evident, _ as 
the weather was the hottest ever recorded m this State, being 
102° in the shade. It was so uncomfortably hot that several 
intermissions had to be taken to allow the guns, shooters and 
the poor trappers to cool off a little. 
On account of the small entry the purse was reduced from $25 
to $15.50, as follows: $5, $4, $2.50, and $1.50 to four high guns, 
$1.50 to longest run and $1 to second run. 
The magautrap worked well, and some of the scores made were 
quite good under the conditions, as the birds were thrown about 
60 to 70yds. The only straight was made by Griffith in the 
third event. Dr. Hammond really did the best shooting, but 
fell down in the event, which lost him first money. Sheldon, with 
his usual good, steady shooting, won first with 125, beating Dr. 
Hammond 2 birds; Griffith third and Bain fourth. Everybody 
was glad when it was over, so that they could go home and put 
on some dry clothes.
