MONTGOMERY WARD & CO. DIAMOND BADGE. 
Chicago, 111., Sept. 10.— Yesterday afternoon the tie was shot 
off in the Montgomery Ward & Co. diamond badge contest, which 
could not be completed last Friday on account of darkness. There 
were in this tie lour contestants, each of whom scored 20 in the 
contest and remained in at the close of the former tie shooting. 
These were j. B. Barto, H. B. toss, E. M, Steck and Miss Edith 
Porter. The latter, with her handicap of 3 birds, was thought 
likely to be in at the close of the 10 birds string, but events proved 
against her, she missing 5 birds in the 10, though then killing 
5 straight in slashing style. Eoss killed his first, but lost his 
next two birds, and stepped to the bench, with his handicap ot 1 
bird exhausted. Barto was in good trim, and was a favorite with 
many on account of his excellent earlier showing. He missed his 
4th bird, a fast blue, which was not hurt very much. His 5th 
was a good stop, the bird lagging on and finally dropping near 
the wire. His lith was another fast blue bird, not troubled very 
much, and Mr. Barto retired. Meantime Eddie Steck was sawing 
wood right along, shooting in excellent time and with care which 
denoted his intention to take home the badge. In this desire he 
succeeded, killing his 10 straight avid adding to that his handi- 
cap bird, or 11 straight in all, which brought him out winner.

THE CHICAGO CHALLENGE TROPHY. 
During the same afterno< there was shot the race between 
Mr. Thos. P. Hicks, holder oi the Chicago challenge trophy, and 
Mr. J. B. Barto, challenger for same. Mr. Hicks was placed at 
scratch, Mr. Barto being given one bird and one yard. The latter 
bad little trouble to take Mr. Hicks' measure to-day, the holder of 
the trophy having gone out of form a trifle to all appearances, 
though I am disposed to think that in the draw of the birds Mr. 
Hicks had really a bit the harder lot. Ordinarily the luck evens 
up in even so short a race as this, but at one stage Mr. Hicks 
drew four of those fast, low, stinging birds, which so sorely try 
the best skill, while Mr. Barto was fortunate enough to get birds 
which could be stopped near the traps. This is not in the least 
to the discredit of Mr. Barto's shooting, for he certainly cut out 
a slashing gait, and would have been hard company for any 
shooter. He used good care in placing his first, but was up to the 
mark with a -fast second when needtul. Both men made some 
fast and long kills, and justly shared applause. Both were prompt 
and did not dawdle in finding their birds, using only the first bar- 
rel in numbers of instances. The weather was coldish and the 
sky overcast, with a good wind, and the birds were fast, many of 
them very fast, 
Mr. Hicks ran along to his 7th bird, which started out a curving 
quarterer to the right. It then turned and came in and was 
iired at inside the traps, but missed. At this stage both men 
were doing good, clean work, and interest was rising. On his 11th 
bird Mr. Hicks got a duplicate of his 7th, but stopped this one 
with a good second. His 13th was an unlucky one foe him, a 
streak of blue lightning, which was the more disappointing after 
Mr Barto's easy bird just preceding. His 15th was not hit much, 
a very fast and low bird, and his 17th going out and then curving 
back in like the 7th bird, again proved a hoodoo for Mr. Hicks, and 
he failed to score it. His 18th was a white bird and a strong one, 
and was only stopped far out by a good second. His 19th was 
not hit with the first, but was cut down well With the second His 
20th showed neat work on a low driver, which was caught by the 
second just in time. His 22d was flagged and sprang high and 
to the left, stopped well with first. His 24th _ wobbled over the 
wire hit very hard, and was dead out. Mr. Hicks used the same 
10-gauge gun with which he defeated Mr. Paterson and Mr. Cun- 
r ' y M?! ia BaVto got a bad bird in his 2d, which lugged away a lot of 
shot close up to the wire, but fell inside. His 7th was a strong 
bird, stopped far out, and on his 8th he made a phenomenal stop 
a fast blue, killing it at 50yds. at least His 9th bird was 
thought sure to go over, as it turned in and kept on wobbling 
toward the dead line, but it dropped at last just ms.de. He ran 
alone- nicely to his- 17th bird, which was the hrst he missed, a 
black bl ird very fast, hit lightly with the first and not hurt 
with the second. His 19th was high and hot, and was greeted 
with aonlause as it fell like a duck shot on a pass. His 20th 
sTemeHot U troubled much, and got over. His 21^ was smothered 
with the first, which was well, as it sprang very fast His 23d was 
hie-h and was stopped with a long second. His 24th was caught 
wWh a cM-eTul and well-timed second, and he kil ed the remaining 
Two Wrdt eas ly, going out with 24 after a fine display of shooting 
on good strong birdf. This retires Mr. Hicks from the present 
competition for the trophy, and leaves the trustees with three 
members qua ified to act. At this writing it is not determined who 
wiUbe the nex man to give this emblem the next jolt down the 
grooves of time, but if %. Barto keeps his good form he is apt 
to trot, him a hot race. Score:

Trap around Reading. 
Reading, Pa,, Sept. 5. — With just enough breeze to make shoot- 
ing pleaant, and- a hue deep blue sky as a background, the first 
annual tuxunament of the Mount Penn Gun Club was inaugurated 
to-day at tneir tine shooting grounds on Mount Penn. The 
tournament was commenced promptly at 9 A. M., as had been 
scheduled, and a number of local and out-of-town marksmen of 
more or less lame were on hand to take part in the various events 
of the day. The wind was lavorable to good shooting, and many 
excellent scores were made. 
'Ihe management of the tournament was intrusted to Arthur A. 
Fink, of Keading, who had everything working like clockwork, 
there not being one single delay during the entire tournament. Mr. 
W. VV. Brown had charge of the blackboard upon which the 
official score was kept. George Runyeon was in charge of the 
cashier's desk, assisted by Mr. Cyrus Shultz. The magautrap 
was used, and gave entire satisfaction. The prizes for which 
the shooters contested in the different events were merchandise 
prizes, and also money sweeps besides. Among the shooters trom 
a distance were: Mr. Sullivan, of Harrisburg Shooting Associa- 
tion; Messrs. Harry Thurman, W. N. Stevenson, J. Anderson 
Ross, Henry Febiger, Henry and Harry David, Landis, ot the 
Keystone Shooting League, of Philadelphia; Messrs. Wickersham, s 
Benner, Shealer, Saylor, Grtibb, Trumbauer, of the Shuler Shoot- 
ing Club, of Pottstown; Messrs. Johnson and Frank Nettles, of 
Royersford; Mr. Bull, of Blue Rock, P. O.; Messrs. Spatz, Hainley 
and Bossier, of the Independent Gun Club, of Sinking Springs, 
Fa.; John Shaaber, Francis Yost, Heber Yost (Jones), William 
essick (Bogardus), Frank Gerhart, Eshelman, Gicker, Brooke 
Harrison, Miles, Butler, of the South End Gun Club, of Read- 
ing; George Ritter, Michael Eeast, Edward Yerger, of the In- 
dependent Gun Club, represented the Reading Club, while Allen, 
Yeager, Brown, Schwartz, Ball, Knerston, Khoads, Dippery, L. 
Gerhard, Laird, Hill represented the Mt. Penn. Club at the 
traps. 
the principal event of the tournament was the five-men team 
shcot for the Mt. Penn' trophy and the intercounty champion- 
ship of eastern Pennsylvania, in which four teams entered. The 
Keystone Shooting League, of Philadelphia, carried off the prize 
with 104 out of 125. Shuler, of Pottstown, was second, with 90, 
while the South End, of Reading, whose shooting is of the gilt- 
edge order, was away off, as they finished with but 88. The Mt. 
Penn finished with 85. . . . ' 
The shoot will net the club not less than $150, which is in a great 
measure due to the prompt work of manager Arthur A. link. 
The money realized will be used to enlarge the club house and also 
fix the grounds, which are somewhat hilly at some points. It 
is the intention of the Mt. Penn Club to roll their grounds and 
have one of the finest shooting grounds in the country if possible. 
The scores of to-day's events follow, there being nineteen mer- 
chandise and six extra sweeps run during the day:
