WESTERN TRAPS. 
CHICAGO CHALLENGE TROPH Y. 
Chicago, III., Sept. 29.— Mr. J. B. Barto. former holder of the 
Chicago hoodoo trophy, lost it to-dav to Mr. Silas Palmer, of 
the Garfield Gun Club, of Chicago, after a close race and a 
doubtful issue. The trophy itself had not turned up anything of 
history for quite a while, "and was due to do so. It paused in 
its career down the grooves of time long enough to add another 
bit to its story. This time it was over the handicapping. The 
local paper this week published the- handicap as Barto scratch, 
Palmer 29yds. and 2 birds. Before the shoot began there was 
some question as to the handicap. Mr. Watson, the referee, 
stated that he had not had the handicap announced to him, and 
no one could tell more than the published statement above re- 
ferred to. It was supposed that the mother of the trophy would 
know her own, and the shoot began with the supposition of 
the correctness of the published handicap. The race ran along 
to the eighth bird, Barto being then one bird in the lead. At 
that time the passengers from one of the suburban trains came 
to the grounds, among these Mr. T. P. Hicks, of the handi- 
capping committee. Some one asked Mr. Hicks about the handi- 
cap, and he said it was 29yds. and 3. birds for Palmer. This 
created talk at once, and the shooting stopped. Mr. Barto said 
he thought a letter from' Mr. Mussey, chairman of the trustees, 
stated the handicap as 2 birds, but he was not sure. 
Mr. Barto expressed regret that he had gone on with the 
race, as the rules were clearly in violation. The rules state that 
the handicap must be announced to the contestant at least three 
days before the contest. Of course, all this was unfortunate. 
The shooting was good. The day was warm, with a stiftish 
wind blowing toward the score in the direction of a left-quarter- 
ing incomer. The birds were lively, and as the flight of most of 
the fastest ones was a high jump and a twist to the left with 
the wind, the shooting was difHcult. Both men were ill good 
shape, and they cut out a keen gait. This high left-quartering 
bird was Mr. Palmer's hoodoo, both in his practice before the 
race and during its progress, four of his lost birds taking that 
flight, and all of Mr. Barto's lost birds having the same direc- 
tion. At times one of these birds would make so strong and 
high a spring into the air and get away on the curve so quick- 
ly, climbing all the while, that it seemed impossible to get ahead 
and high enough. Yet both men caught a good per cent, of 
these hot ones, and an impartial applause rewarded their efforts. 
Mr. Barto got a stinger in his fifth, but cut it down inside the 
wire. His seventh was cut to pieces, but crossed the wire to 
fall dead. His eleventh was a fine quick kill, and his seventeenth 
fairly a grand stand kill on a high fast one, which came down 
whirling, stone dead. His twenty-fourth was a keen white bird, 
which got awav.not hit very much with either barrel. Mr. 
Barto showed rapid but careful first-barrel work, and shot a good 
race. Indeed both scores are high ones considering conditions.^ 
Mr. Palmer lost his second bird, which towered away unhit. 
His eighth went away in similar fashion, but on his tenth he 
caught just as nasty a one, and stopped it in great shape. His 
twelfth bird also showed quick work, and his ominous thirteenth 
he smothered with both barrels. His fourteenth, a slow white, 
needed the second badly. His fifteenth called out a bit of quick 
and accurate work. His eighteenth was his hoodoo again, and 
his nineteenth, a twister straight out, was also lost, though hit 
hard with both barrels. After Mr. Palmer had shot twenty-seven 
birds, he was told to shoot the debated third handicap bird 
also. He lost this last bird, a twisting left quarterer. The result 
showed that in either case, with a two-bird or a three-bird handi- 
cap, he would have defeated Mr. Barto by one bird. Mr. Palmer 
shot a good score, and kept up the good impression he has been 
making at the live birds. He used a Greener gun, with S^drs. Du 
Pont, Leader shells, Mr. Barto shot a Colt gun, 3V2drs. Du 
Pont, in U. M. C. smokeless cases. Score:

Mr. \V. P. Mussey, chairman of the trustees who fix the 
handicap, was seen and stated that he had finally concluded to 
sever his connection with the board of trustees governing this 
trophy. His resignation goes in to-day. I am not in a position 
to quote Mr. Mussey. but I am disposed to guess that he has had 
about enough, and knows when he has had enough, of this 
celebrated emblem with the string to it. 
Dr. S. Shaw, of the Oarfield Gun Club, and Geo. Roll, of 
Blue Island, both filed challenges for the next contest with Mr. 
Palmer. Dr. Shaw's challenge will be the one which will be 
accepted. What the handicaps will be remains a matter, properly 
to be shrouded in a large and gloomy cloud of uncertainty. 
WATSON'S. 
John Watson tells me that his big live bird shoot, which will 
begin Dec. 13 and will last three days, will be a handicap shoot. 
There will be a $100 medal offered, and the main event will take 
the form of a twenty-five-bird race, $25 entrance, birds included. 
There will be two sets of live bird traps, and a sweep of the 
above dimensions ought to attract a goodly number of the best 
live bird shots, of whom we have abundance in this section of 
the world. 
In the shooting previous to the challenge trophy race on Thurs- 
day, a few of the gentlemen present went in for practice. Dr. 
Shaw killed fifteen straight in slashing style, and Mr. Palmer 
eight out of ten with equal good time. Mr. Barto scored seven 
out of ten in practice. Then Dr. Shaw and Mr. Palmer shot 
five birds, Dr. Shaw missing three, Mr. Palmer one. Dr. Shaw 
then missed another bird, making four straight that he missed 
after a grand run of fifteen straight. The pigeon game is surely 
a strange one. 
DU PONT, OF OMAHA. 
The Du Pont Gun Club tournament at Omaha, last week, was 
a hummer, and the equitable system gets another endorsement. 
One good squad score turned out. Messrs. Worthington, Towns- 
end, Lindsay, Bray and Moore broke 74 out of 75 targets shot a.t 
in one event, Lindsay missing his second bird. A live bird 
sweep closed the shoot, 15 birds, $10. Score: 
Lindsay 12, Mortenson 14, Bee 14, Hungate 14, Hollister 13, 
Hallowell 15, Schroeder 14, Dickenson 12, T. Kimball 14, R. Kim-

WINCHESTER, OF DETROIT. 
Winchester Gun Club, of Detroit, Mich., held its last shoot 
last Saturday. "Bluerock" won the club medal, 23 out of 25. 
The club will now devote itself to executive work, and do its 
shooting in the field. The season has been a successful one. 
KENTUCKY GUN CLUB. ' 
Kentucky Gun Club, of Louisville, Ky., pulled off the first 
live-bird match of its winter scries on Sept. 28. Dr. Fallis went 
out with a straight score in the medal race, and Col. Thompson 
only lost one in the same event. Mr. Harry Lyons shot in hard 
luck in the medal race, losing two birds. The following are the

bird event, the Eurekas winning two live-bird and one target 
event, resulting in a tie, which has not as yet been shot off. 
To-day's race, has a tendency to show the supremacy of the 
Eureka's over the Garfield, they having twice won the trophy 
and twice successfully defended the same since it was first con- 
tested for, the Garfields winning but once. 
Following are the detailed scores of the event, which was 
at thirty single targets, five unknown traps, one man up, and ten 
rjairs :

hitch occurred to mar the pleasantness of the occasion. 
GARFIELD GUN CLUB. 
The Garfield Gun Club's weekly target contest followed imme- 
diately after. The Eureka members attending also took part 
and shot their trophy scores on these grounds. The race was at 
twenty-five targets, known traps, unknown angles. Classified : 
Class A was tied for by Dr. Shaw and T. P. Hicks, and was 
not shot off. 
Class B was tied for by Dr. Meek and Samuel Young, and 
was not shot off. Class C was won by C. Workman.

CHICAGO CHALLENGE TROPHY. 
Challenges for the Chicago challenge trophy have been posted 
by Dr. Siremdo Shaw and Geo. Roll. It is too early at the pres- 
ent time to say which will be accepted, but Dr. Shaw seems to 
have the right of way. 
NOTES. 
V. L. and A. have just issued their new and complete cata- 
logue, containing a line of all sportsmen's goods, of guns, am- 
munition, camping outfits, etc. They have also recently opened 
a gun repair department, under the supervision of Henry Nathan, 
the well-known gunsmith, and are making rapid strides in the 
right direction. 
The season of the Garfield Gun Club closes to-day. 
EUREKA GUN CLUB. 
On account of the several members attending the contest be- 
tween the Garfield and Eureka Gun Clubs, the attendance was 
very light. The day was very disagreeable, it raining most of the 
afte'rnoon. In the trophy contest in Class A, E. M. Steck scored 
20; Class B, C. W. Canon, 17; V. L. Cunnyngham, 22; R. B. 
Carson, 13. 
The season of this club does not close until the last Saturday in 
October.

Trap around Reading. 
Reading, Pa., Oct. 1.— At a meeting of the South End Gun 
Club, of this city, the tournament committee reported having 
engaged Arthur A. Fink, of this city, to manage their coming 
all-day target shoot, and also reported as having arranged a pro- 
gramme consisting of two events at 7 targets, 50 cents entrance; 
two at 10, 75 cents; two at 15, $1; two at 20, $1.50. The principal 
event of the day will be a team shoot for the South End Gun Club's 
sterling silver trophy in the shape of a shield 11 by 20in., valued 
at $50 by the maker. The teams are to consist of five men, each 
man shooting at 25 targets, with the entrance per team at $5. 
The committee also decided to shoot extra events before 9 A. M., 
the time to commence the programme events, and after, the 
number of targets and entrance to be left to the shooters to de- 
cide. Targets will be thrown at 2 cents each. The magautrap 
will be used to throw the targets. Money will be divided, if 
less than twelve entries, 50, 30 and 20 per cent. ; if twelve or more 
then four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. The grounds of the 
South End Gun" Club are considered to be one of the best shoot- 
ing grounds in the State, and can easily be reached from Penn 
street, the center of the city, by three trolley roads. The grounds 
are located on Boyer's Island, at the Lancaster Bridge. Either 
the Reading & Southwestern from Third and Penn, or Third street 
line, or Bingaman street car from Fifth and Penn, will take 
the shooters to within one square of the grounds. Dinner can be 
had at the Packerack Hotel, just one square from the shooting 
grounds. All shells should be sent care Peter Texter, 427 Binga- 
man street, Reading, and any information or programmes wanted 
can be had by addressing Arthur A. Fink, manager, 426 Franklin 
street, Reading. Loaded shells can be secured on the grounds. 
Invitations have been sent to all the leading gun clubs and shooters in 
the State. This shoot will start promptly at 9 A. M., rain or 
shine, and is open to all. 
Pottstown, Pa., Sept. 28. — An interesting live-bird tournament 
was held at Pleasant View, near here, which attracttd shooters 
from Boyertown, Saratoga, Pottstown, Royersford and Reading. 
The birds were a very strong lot of flyers, five traps being used,

EDGERTON LIVE-BIRD SHOOT. 
A very promising live-bird shoot is that scheduled by the 
Edgerton Gun Club, of Edgerton, Wis., for Oct, 4-5. There are 
1,000 live birds on hand, which will be trapped at BJ^c, certainly 
a liberal price, and one wdiich ought to bring out a good atten- 
dance. There will be five races on the first day and four on the 
second, concluding with the contest for the Carlton gold medal, at 
fifteen live birds. E, Hough.

EUREKA VS. GARFIELD. 
Chicago, Oct. 1.— The contest between the Eureka and Gar- 
field Gun Clubs took place to-day on the grounds of the latter. 
About 125 spectators were present. There was an overcast sky 
and a continuous fall of drizzling rain. The race was for the 
Shooting and Fishing trophy. There was much interest on account 
of the rivalry between the two clubs, in target and live-bird 
shooting. The clubs have had several contests, and while the 
honors are fairly even, the Eurekas have enjoyed a little the 
best of it. During last winter these two clubs participated in 
six team contests, the Garfields winning two target and one live-

Harrisburg Tournament. 
Uariusbukg, Pa., Sept. 28. — The annual fall tournament of the 
Harrisburg Shooting Association opened here to-day with a large 
attendance of out-of-town and local shooters. Among the former 
were J. A. Wilson, of Franklin, Pa.; W. H. Burnham, of York; 
E. D. Hobbs, of New Market, Frederick county, Md. ; F. P. 
O'Leary (333), of Buffalo, N. Y., and also a" delegation of 
twenty members of the Chambersburg Gun Club under the 
leadership of Capt. J. M. Runk, who came here to shoot the 
final match of the series of three matches with the Keystone Gun 
Club, of Lebanon. The following shooters composed the Cham- 
bersburg team: Capt. J. M. Runk. Irwin C. Elder, M R. 
Rhoads, D. M. Minnick, T. B. Kennedy, Henry Disney, E. D. 
Hobbs, B. F. Henson, F.'P. O'Leary, Wm. McGowan. J. Van- 
derau, Wm. Marshall. Mr. W, L. Boyer, of Chambersburg, also 
accompanied the team as scorer. Among the local shooters were 
Shoop (Brewster), Worder (Fuller), Harry Vanzandt (Moorhead), 
J. D. Kinzer, Disney, J. B, McCann, Sheriff Sellers, McKee, Geo. 
McGowan, Rheinhart and Dover, all members of the Harrisburg 
Shooting Association. 
The shooting grounds are certainly model grounds for both 
target and live-bird shooting. A cozy club house is built so as 
to have views at both the target traps, which are erected on the 
front, toward the south, and the live birds are shot on the right 
side of the club house toward the west. A fine lawn on the 
front and two sides of the club house gives the grounds a fine 
appearance. The shooters of Harrisburg are very proud of their 
model grounds, so arranged at great expense. The background 
for target shooting is fine. The live birds used were all strong 
flyers, and were off like a streak when liberated from the traps. 
FIRST DAY, SEPT. 28. 
The principal event of the first day was to have been the third 
and final shoot of the Chambersburg-Lebanon series at live 
birds and targets, for teams of ten men each, but on the last 
minute Lebanon wired the Harrisburg Association that they would 
not come, which was a great disappointment, not only to the 
Chambersburg Club and its followers, but also to a large number 
of visiting sportsmen who came here just to see this match, which 
was expected to be a tight one. For the Chambersburg Club I 
can honestly say they have a very strong team, and as they 
are organized not quite a year, some never having a gun in 
their hands before that time, they are certainly shooting at a 
wonderful pace. 
The Harrisburg shooters on Sept. 16, at Lebanon, distributed 
programmes of this shoot, which announced the final match be- 
tween these two clubs. 
At 2 P. M., the time set for the match, Capt. Runk had each 
man shoot at a target and one live bird, and claimed both 
matches and the series, which was awarded him by Referee Moor- 
head. 
The management of the tournament was looked after by Arthur 
A. Fink, of Reading, Pa., who had everything moving all the 
time, from 9:30 A. M. to 5:30 P. M., there being not one delay 
during the day. Great credit is given Manager Fink by the 
Harrisburg Association for the easy manner in which he managed 
this shoot and looked after the affairs pertaining to the same.

After the Chambersburg team had been awarded the series of 
the Chambersburg-Lebanon by forfeit, owing to non-appearance 
of the Lebanon team, Capts. Runk and Worden, of Chambersburg 
and Harrisburg respectively, agreed to shoot a team race, teams 
of ten men each, xeaeh man at 5 live birds. Chambersburg won 
by the score of 45 to 42. A miss-and-out at live birds, $2 entrance, 
which was divided by Rhoads, McCann, Runk, Burnham and 
Henson, closed the shooting for the day. 
SECOND DAY, SEPT. 29. 
The second day's shoot of the Harrisburg Association was fairly 
attended, although not a large attendance of shooters were present. 
The fine weather was all that could be wanted for live-bird and 
target shooting. Among the shooters were Ross, of Philadelphia; 
Burnham, of York, Pa. ; Hobbs, of New Market, Frederick county, 
Md.; Runk, of Chambersburg, and Brewster, Harlow, E. H., 
K., Moorhead and McCann, of Harrisburg.
