WINNEBAGO GUN CLUB. 
Winnebago Gun Club, of the good shooting town of> Oshkosh, 
Wis., made a very nice success ot' their tournament last week, 
beginning Aug. 20. Among others from abroad were Fish, Scam- 
ir.on, Churchill, Moon and Smith, of Eau Claire; Graves, of 
Loyal; Marsh, of Spokeville; Farbcr and Meunier, of Milwaukee. 
The second day showed a gain in attendance, and the affair is 
reported as pleasant, with honors well distributed, the Eau 
Claire and Milwaukee men having a shade the best in the totals.. 
COMING.^ 
Monroe Gun Club, of Monroe, Mich., will hold a tournament, 
targets and live birds, Sept. 7-8, Jack Parker manager, which of 
course augurs well for a good shoot. 
Aledo Gtin Club, of Aledo, 111., will hold its annual shoot Sept, 
7-8-9, with seven target numbers and three live-bird events daily, 
and $50 average money to three high guns at close of shoot. J. 
F. Henderson, Sec'y. 
Mr. W. D. Town sends 01 Omaha, Neb., tells me that the fourth 
annual shoot of the Du Font Gun Club, of that city, will be a good 
affair and worth keeping in mind for Sept. 21-22-23. There will be 
$500 added money. In all likelihood the "equitable system" will 
he shot, or at least .plans are now making to change the pro- 
grammes to that effect, it being thought belter to use that system 
than the old one of class shooting.

CHICAGO CHALLENGE TROPHY. 
The contest for the Chicago challenge trophy between Thos. P. 
Hicks, holder, and V. L. Cunnyngham took place on Friday 
afternoon, Aug. 20, at 2:40 P. M., at Watson's Park, Burnside 
Crossing, 111. The attendance was comparatively small, though 
considerable interest was shown by those present. The sky was 
overcast, and a mild wind blew from the lett quarter. The birds 
were fairly good for summer birds. Among those trapped were 
some hot ones. 
The handicap was T. P. Hicks, 25 birds, 30yds. rise, and V. L. 
Cunnyngham, 25 birds, 23yds. rise, still he shot at 30yds. from 
choice. Mr. Hicks shot a 10-gauge Wesley Richards, with 4>4drs. 
Du Pont powder, Smokeless shell, l%oz. No. 7, while V. L. 
Cunnyngham shot a 12-gauge Wesley Kichards gun, with 3-j4drs. 
Schultze powder, Smokeless shells, F/ioz. No. V. 
Both gentlemen shot in good form, and many good kills were 
made by each. 
The rules provide that a majority of the trustees shall be 
necessary to establish a handicap, giving birds and yards as they 
may deem proper to put all contestants on an equal footing. In 
this instance, one of the trustees being the holder of the trophy, 
took no part in the handicap arrangement; another of the trustees 
being out of the city for several weeks, and only returned the 
morning of the day of the contest, hence the handicap seems to 
have been made by one trustee only, which is not in accordance 
with the rules. Still apprised of these existing conditions, Mr. 
Cunnyngham shot without a protest. 
It is expressed by several eligibles that a meeting should be 
called to elect trustees to replace those having personal interest 
in the trophy. 
Following are detailed scores of the event, which was refereed 
by John Watson.

contest for the trophy at this time.

on the club grounds,, corner Seventy-ninth and Vincennes avenue, 
Saturday afternoon, Aug. 27. There was a Targe attendance. 
Among others were the wives of several members, who spent some 
time in practice at the traps. There was a soft sunlight, accom- 
panied with a fresh quartering wind, which made the shooting 
somewhat difficult.

Heikes — Gilbert for the Cast Iron Badge. 
Eau Claire, Wis., Aug. 27. — If there should be heard issuing 
jfrom the vicinity of Dayton, (J., a low, deep, sizzling sound, the 
bearer need not be alarmed, for it will only be caused by Rolla 
Heikes frying eggs on the cast iron badge at his own fireside. 
Appearances would indicate that Mr. Heikes intends to stay in 
iche cook stove business. Neither Charlie Budd, nor Charlie 
Grimm, nor Fred Gilbert, each of whom is something of a 
shooter, has been able to carry off the lid of Rolla's stove, and it 
looks as though Rolla was intending to claim the title of Daddy 
of Them All not only in the target, but also the live-bird world. 
Heretofore the score of 93 live birds in a race was the highest the 
Daddy of Them All had made. To-day he let out a few notches, 
and calmly as though in peaceful slumber killed 99 birds scored 
dead, and the other dead just over the line. It was no particu- 
lar use to try to beat him to-day, neither Fred Gilbert nor any 
other shooter had any business trying. Fred congratulated Pop, 
as he calls Rolla, and said that he himself was hardly in the race. 
Yet Fred's score of 94 was a good one, and one which not 
many men have any license to beat. It may be seen therefore 
that the entertainment to-day was of high class, and that such 
races do not often come out of the box. Both men received the 
applause they both deserved. 
GOOD WEATPIER. 
The day was perfect for shooting, bright, cool and bracing, with 
a fresh wind, just the weather to make the birds lively. The 
birds themselves were very good, a strong and bright lot. Out 
of 200 there were seven that dwelt at .the traps after the pull, 
but only three needed flagging, and the stop was usually but for 
an instant, as the bird ran a few feet before taking wing. The 
peculiarity of these pleasant Eau Claire grounds is that they 
lie in a sheltered valley and are surrounded by a high board fence. 
It may be this peculiarity of location which caused the great 
percentage of birds which started high, of which towerers were 
numerous. Sometimes a bird might be marked an incomer or a 
driver, when the type would hardly indicate the character of the 
flight, which would be as high in the air as it was far from the 
trap. The wind was fresh enough, but blew toward the score in the 
direction of a left-quartering incomer. _ It could not be said that 
the shooting was so easy, for, though it might have been harder, 
had the wind blown from the score, the flights will be seen to be 
very mixed. 
The active and enterprising men of the Eau Claire Gun Club 
had everything well ai ranged, as usual, and a good crowd of- 
spectators was on hand, including many shooters from outside 
points. I should think there were 275 to 300 persons in the grand 
stand. Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Harrison, of Minneapolis; Judge 
Moer. of Duluth; U. M. C. Hallowell and others came over 
from Minneapolis this morning; Ed Bingham came up from 
Chicago. Enough shooters were on hand to get up some nice 
•sweeps before and after the match. The trapping was prompt, and 
•the handling of the birds good. Mr. E. M. Fish served acceptably 
as referee, though there was not much need for anything in the 
race besides Rolla Heikes and his pump gun, which combina- 
tion held the center of the stage for most of the time. 
HOW IT RAN. 
Mr. Heikes won the toss and went to the score first, stopping 
a good incomer. Gilbert killed on outgoer to the right in slap- 
bang style. Gilbert hc.d rather the favorite's end of it, for he has 
been shooting live birds with such uniform success that he was 
thought invincible. Yesterday on these grounds he killed 30 
straight in practice, and Heikes but 26, 
Both men shot along at a slashing gait. Heikes was the first 
to lose, his 11th bird, a fast white outgoer to the left, not being 
caught with the second, though the first cut it to pieces, so that 
it fell dead just over the fence. For the next 30 birds Fred 
pounded along without a miss, Rolla hanging at his heels. Fred 
ran 41 straight, and Rolla kept along straight also, so that though 
Fred was one bird ahead at the first turn, at the 50 hole the men 
were tied and the interest was high, for both seemed in champion- 
ship form. Some exception might have been found when Gilbert 
made a sloppy first on his 21st bird, and only saved himself with 
his second, repeating this on his 23d. His 33d also was a long 
second, and his 37th, a fine stop at 45yds. His 42d was lost 
an incomer that was able to reach the roof of the shed. Again 
Fred made a lucky slobber with the second on his 44th, not hit full. 
His 50th was only stopped by a good second. His 51st was flagged. 
His 55th was killed by a slow, but careful, second. His 56th 
was not hit at all by the first, and his 58th needed the fast second 
that it got. His 66th was a far kill on a driver. His 68th was not 
much injured. My this time, since Heikes was still looking like 
a graven image and shooting like a fiend, still straight, the odds 
were very much against Gilbert. All his hope fled when on his 
71st bird he missed with his first and flinched off with his second. 
Something a bit like loss of heart was suggested when on his very 
next bird he repeated this identically, not touching the bird 
at all! His 77th bird seemed easy, but was not hit with right or 
left. His 96th was a long second barrel kill. Much applause 
greeted both men at the brilliant kills that constantly came out. 
After missing his 11th bird Heikes settled down and ran the 
remaining 89 straight. His 13th brought applause. His 26th was 
a wonder, a screaming, fast, slate-colored, small bird, which was 
fast as one ever se:s on any pigeon park. The second cut it 
dowtvclose to the wire amid shouts of applause. His 2Sth showed 
a sloppy first barrel, but his second saved it. His 33d was a long 
second. His 34th was released before the call pull and he did 
not accept it, but might have well done so, for tin: alternate bird 
proved a screecher and was killed far to left, near the wire. His 
36th showed a good second, and so did his 38th. His 41st was the 
third of these very hot left-quarterers he had caught close to- 
gether. It was astonishingly swift, but the first cut it up so badly 
that the second stopped it. Again his 42d was a stem-winder, and 
his killing it at 50yds. brought the now excited crowd to its feet. 
His 45th was a hard one, well timed, and his 59th got a quick 
and deadly first, or it must have been lost. His 64th was not hit 
with the first, but the second killed it stone dead at 50yds. His 
78th was high and fast; his S3d was a great kill in the deep field. 
His 86th was another of the red-hot left-quarterers, of which 
he had had and killed more than his share. It had great vitality. 
The second barrel knocked it down, but it rose and wabbled on, 
falling against the wire boundary, where the dog caught it. All 
retrieving was done by dogs, and well done. His 99th bird was 
killed with a long, deliberate second, which again earned him 
a hearty "hand" irom the crowd. His lasf bird was cut down 
sharply, and so he ended a phenomenal race. The scores were 
duplicates of the Elliott-Budd race here, when Elliott killed 99. 
Heikes really killed his 100 birds, one dead out. Gilbert had two 
dead out. The latter was not in his average form, it seemed, and 
felt badly at making so "poor a score." Ihere is no occasion in 
the world for Fred to feel badly over a score of 94, on good 
birds on a good clay. There are a few of us who would like to 
be able to get that many right along, and the man who can do so 
can break the gang in a few years. Heikes was not in condition 
to-day to be beaten by anybody, and that is the reason he won. 
It will be long before his score is duplicated under any such 
conditions, and it certainly is the only demonstration needed 
(after his recent defeat of Gilbert for the E. C. cup) of the pos- 
sibilities of the pump gun in the hands of a man in a trance. 
The result of to-day's race was a surprise in one way, for no one 
could have looked for such high scores. Between the two men 
there was not much choice before the race. Rolla Heikes has now 
come about as near gathering in all the hardware as any of the 
experts who have contested for the main trophies now before the 
public, and seems to have laid a large sinewy grasp upon the 
E. C. cup and the cast iron badge, and to have taken a great 
notion to make trouble for the boys either at targets or live 
birds. This is why you may perhaps hear the low, sizzling noise 
from the vicinity of Dayton, 0. Following are the scores:

Trap Around Reading. 
Reading, Pa., Aug. 20. — A meeting of the committee in charge 
of the coming merchandise shooting tournament, to be held 
Sept. 5-6, at Reading, under the auspices of the Mount Penn 
Gun Club, was held this morning, with a full attendance of all 
the committee. The chairman, Mr. Y eager, reported as having 
thus far secured 125 fine merchandise prizes from the citizens 
of Reading, and 75 prizes from firms and lriends out of town. The 
chairman also reported having secured the services of Arthur A. 
Fink as manager, who, with the assistance of the whole committee, 
will try and leave nothing undone, and will say that the coming 
tournament will eclipse any tournament ever given in this vicinity. 
The entries for the intercounty team shoot for the Mount Penn 
trophy, valued at $150, are coming in fast, and the secretary thus 
far has received communications from different clubs to the 
number of seventeen that they will enter one or two teams in this 
shoot. The merchandise prizes are useful articles, and there ate 
also money prizes in gold. The shoot will be held on the Mount 
Penn Gun Club's fine shooting grounds, situated on Mount Penn. 
To reach the grounds take a Mineral Spring car, getting off at 
the Gravity Road Station, and there change to the cars for the 
ride over the mountain. The fine scenery that greets the eye on 
the way up is a treat that is never forgotten. The scenery from 
the tower, a point 1,700ft. above sea level, is often called by 
travelers the Switzerland of America. The car makes a short 
wait here, when the ride down the other side of the mountain is 
begun by gravitation. The shooting grounds arc situated right 
along the road, and the shooters stops at station Shooting Flat. 
The programme contains events at 10_, 15, 20 and 25 targets each 
day at a reasonable entrance fee. The intercounty shoot for teams 
of five men each promises to make things interesting. The club 
and manager extend a hearty invitation to all shooters to attend 
and any information wanted will be given by addressing the man- 
ager, Arthur A. Fink, 426 Franklin street, Reading, Pa. Dinner 
can be had on the grounds. 
The South End Gun Club held a practice shoot to-day on their 
grounds, some fine scores being made. The two teams that are 
to represent this club at the Mount Penn's intertrophy shoot 
were out in full. The scores follow:

Reading, Pa., Aug. 27.— The South End Gun Club will hold a 
shoot on .Labor Day, Sept. 5, when the three medals will be put up

Pottstown, Pa., Aug. 27,— Sportsmen from Berks, Chester, 
Lehigh, and Montgomery counties took part in a target tourna- 
ment held here to-day on the Shuler Shooting Club's grounds. 
The principal event was a 25-target match for an L. C. Smith hara- 
merless gun. Each shooter had the privilege of entering as many 
times as he wished. Mr. N. W. Benner, ot Boyertown, won the 
gun with 24 out of 25. 
Pottstown, Pa., Aug. 24.— Members of the Shuler Club held a 
practice target match here this afternoon in preparation for their 
final match at Phoenixville to-morrow with the West Chester Gun 
Club. 
Phoenixville, Pa., Aug. 25. — The greatest shooting event ever held 
here came off on the grounds of the Phoenix Gun Club, of this, 
place, to-day. Three gun clubs — Shuler, of Pottstown; West 
Chester and Phoenix, of this place — participated, and fully 500 
people were present to witness the sport, which lasted from 10 
A. M. to 6 P. M. Matches were shot between the Shuler Shooting 
Club, of Pottstown, and West Chester Gun Club, of West Chester, 
and also between Phoenix Gun Club and West Chester. In the 
first event Shuler won by the score of 228 — 214. This match was the 
final match of a series of three, in which each club won one 
match. 
The second event of the day was the first of a series of three 
matches for the championship of- Chester county between Phoenix 
and West Chester gun clubs. Phoenix won to-day's match by 
the score of 216 to 207. 
Following these events, the programme consisted of fourteen

10 targets, 50 cents entrance — which had thirty-nine entries. The 
Phoenix Gun Club will enter two teams of five men in the inter- 
. county trophy shoot at Reading. Sept. 5-6, also the Shuler two 
teams, and West Chester probably one. The second of the

Duster.
