Fourth Day, Friday, Oct. 2J. 
The Belle Meade Handicap, the event of the tournament, was 
decided to-day— the one in which the most interest centered. 
This was a 25-bird race, handicap rise, entrance $25, birds in- 
cluded, class shooting, four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. 
The event was not commenced until about 12 o'clock, as previous 
to this a 10-bird extra was run off, so as to enable those to par- 
ticipate who might perhaps be late on account of the inclement 
weather, lor it would be an easy matter to finish it before dark 
with two sets of traps. . . 
When once the race was begun everything ran along smoothly, 
so that it was all over bv 4:30. At the finish it was found that six 
—Budd, Du Bray, Fulford, Rattle, Quimby and Fanning— had 
killed straight. As a very handsome loving cup went to the winner 
it was evident that there must be a shoot-off. This was at once 
gotten under way, and was shot off at 5 birds.. Fanning was 
a hot favorite, as he has always been fortunate in events of this 
kind. However, this time he failed to have his luck with him, 
as he was the first to drop out on a very good bird that, though 
hit with both barrels, went out of bounds. Quimby managed 
to stay until the 5th round, when he met a similar fate to that 
of Fanning on a fast twisting driver. Rattle had the sympathies 
of the crowd, as he is a cripple, and therefore much handicapped. 
The eighth was fatal to him, and he was forced to retire after hav- 
ing run 62 straight, 20 of them on the previous day. It now 
looked very much as though there was going to be a shooting 
match, as the remaining three were killing their birds in good 
time. Fulford slipped up on his 10th, a slow one, whose speed 
had probably been overestimated; it was hit, but went out. Uu 
Bray only survived a round longer, when he too failed cm a bud 
that carried out a lot of shot. It now remained only for budd 
to kill his 5 straight, a task he was equal to. Thus he has reversed 
the decision Fanning obtained over him at St. Louis last Novem- 
ber, when, it will be remembered, Fanning had to kill 40 straight 
to win the watch charm that was involved m that handicap. Budd 
made quite a record to-day, as he went down the line without a 
Sk In addition to the 40 he killed in this race, he has also 10 more 
to his credit, he being one of the straight men m the extra 
event that was shot, while on the previous day he had finished 
with 35 straight. This made his total S5 straight lor the two 
davs, and 50 for the day. iust 2 less than Pred Gilbert had to his 
credit \esterday. Nevertheless some pecpl; have been cruel enough 
to say that Mr. Budd has seen his best days. It is a popiuar 
win and Charley deserves all the honors that go with the trophy. 
Du Bray, the runner up. is worthy of special mention for he too 
has been shooting very consistently. He had a run of 45 for the 
day -when he lost that one dead out of bounds, lhus, too, he 
had finished with 20 to his credit in the last miss-and-out of the 
day previous. This should be glory enough for one day for 
the old reliable Parker, as both he and Budd shoot this make ot 
auns The weather was of the most unpleasant nature. During 
the morning it rained part of the time, and while it ceased about 
10 o'clock, it left a mean, nasty atmosphere, that was penetrating 
to such a degree that it soon chilled all the vim out of the shoot- 
ers Few ventured out to watch the race. Most were content 
to 'sit by the fire in the club house. The birds were only an 
ordinary lot, with some few good ones. At times there was a 
o-ood wind, and while it prevailed it caused some trouble for the 
shooters. The referees, scorers, pullers and trappers had a very 
cold, disagreeable job on their hands, 
In addition to the six straight men there were no less than 
fifteen 24s nine 23s and but two 22s. The latter received within 
$10 of what the straight men got. Neither the 24s nor the 23s paid 
'■ntrance money. With four moneys, I question if a like number 
of the. purse 
entry was no greater,

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Woodlawn, Oct. 15. — These arc the official scores made at Wood- 
lawn on Oct. 15. The scores printed in some of the daily papers 
of the i6th and 17th were entirely wrong, and were evidently faked : 
No, 1 was the 500 shell sheet,. 3 birds, then miss-and-out. ? T i- 
2 was a 5-bird sweep. No. 3 was the club shoot. In No. 1 the 
ties between Messrs. Sykcs and Thcmpscr. were to be shot off a* 
the next shoot.

Mr Joe "George, of San Antonio, Tex., who has. been spending 
the summer in the North, contcmo'ates returning to his' Southern 
home in the early part of November. 
Acfcltn vs. Elliott. 
The two engaged in a one-barrel race, which was shot just 
prior to the commencement of the Elliston-Heikes match. This 
was equally as interesting as the main event, and was won by 
E'liott in the shoot-off, as they tied on the original number of 
birds, each scoring 20 out of 25. Acklin should have won this, and 
only the hardest kind of luck prevented him from doing so. He 
lost 2 birds dead out of bounds, and one of these was chased out 
by the dog, who was afraid to walk on the tin that covered the 
point over the live-bird traps. Fnd therefore did not retrieve it 
promptly, which enabled the bird to gather strength and fly ou< 
of bounds. This too was a good lot of birds, and each mad' 
some very fine stops. E'Hott was the first to miss, for his 2c. 
an incomer, flew away. Then he lost his 9th, a hoverer, that lit 
just as he shot. The 14th just got out of bounds, white the Kith 
was missed sitting on the ground. His 23d, a good one, beat him 
out. Acklin lost his 3d, a very fast one; then his 4th fell dead 
out of bounds just over the wire. The 7th, a driver, was too fast, 
and the 10th, which was also a very good one. Eater on he lost 
the 20th under conditions described above. In the shoot-off 
Acklin missed his very first bird, while Elliott killed straieht. 
The conditions of the race were 25 birds per, for $25 a side, loser 
to pay for the birds, use of one barrel, gun below the elbow, 
28;-ds rise. Mr, J. D. B. De Bow was chosen referee. A-k'in shot 
a Hy 2 lb. Purdy gun, U. M. C. Trap shells and 52grs. of Schu'tze 
po„ rler. Fl'tr.^ chot his Winchester gun, Leader shells and 3^drs.

The weather was stormy. There was a heavy wind and a driving 
rain — conditions as unfavorable to good scores as cou'd exist. 
At the end of the first 25 Hawkins was the leader by 2 targets. 
The relative standing at the end of the second 25 was unchanged, 
the score standing 40 to 38. Glover broke strais-ht on his third 
25, which put him 3 birds in the lead. This lead he held to the 
close. It was a very close and well contested race. 
A banquet after the race made a pleasing conclusion to a 
friendly and interesting competition. The scores:

Brooklyn Gun Club, 
Brooklyn, L. I., Oct. 22.— The shoot was very pleasant, not- 
withstanding the attendance was small. There were two begin- 
ners in attendance, Messrs. Smith and Williams, who I hope 
will become expert shooters after a -little pra.ti c.

At Belle Meade, Oct. 21, the Belle Meade handicap proved 
to be a great contest, both in number and quality of contestants, 
with great performance to add a proper setting. Many of the star 
performers, great in the history of skillful shotgunnery, were in 
the competition. Six killed 25 straight, namely, Budd. Du bray, 
Fulford, Rattle, Quimbv and Fanning. There were fifteen who 
tied on 21— McMurchv, Heikes Legler, Dupont, De Bow, t'frst, 
Acklin Gay, Elliott, Anthonv, Courtney, Meadows. Cu'lom 1 arker 
and Gilbert. In the shoot-off for the cup Budd was the on v one 
to kill straight, Du Bray remaining in next longest, his 11th bird 
falling dead out of bounds.

Mr T P Hicks and Mr. A. C. Paterson have both challenged 
Mr. Palmer for the trophv, which he has now twice held. Mr. 
Hicks is about fifteen minutes ahead of Mr. Paterson, and 
will no doubt be next to shoot. Mr. Hicks is one of the trustees. 
Mr. Shepard, another trustee, is out of town. Mr. Mussey, the 
third trustee, has resigned, but is serving along temporarily, so 
that there may be some one to keep the business going., 
Montgomery "Ward & Co. Handicap Badge. 
The fifth contest of the Montgomery Ward & Co. diamond 
badge series was shot yesterday, Friday, and brought out seven- 
teen contestants and a good crowd of shooters and spectators 
in spile of the inclement weather to which Chicago has been 
treated this week. The day was strictly Highlanchsh, now 
cloudy and dull, now bright, with rifts of sunshine. Ihe cooler 
"weather begins to show effect on the birds, which are living 
keener. In spite of this fact there were six men who landed in 
the 20 hole, and the tie was no man's till the end. Barto, who 
has won this trophy once (not twice, as erroneously reported 
bv a Chicago paper), was favorite for a long time in the tie 
He lost his 5th tie bird by tough luck, it striking the to t 
of the wire and bounding over dead. Amberg meantime was 
slugging along in fine shape, and though he needed the handi- 
cap of 1 bird allowed him in the tie. he landed safe with 10 
and carried off the badge, his victory being received with accla- 
mation This makes the firth winner of this interesting trophy, 
and it seems as though the . hopes of the donors, for twelve 
different winners, may be realized. . 
The usual surprises turned up. Comly the first winner of the 
badge did not eet further alone than the TO hole. , Mike E.ch 
had to stoo at 15 scored in his 20 F. P. %™*™«%.°L$£
