WESTERN TRAPS. 
Limited's Autumn Shoot. 
Chicago, 111., Oct. 29.— The fourth interstate annual tournament 
of the Limited Gun Club, of Indianapolis, will be held this coming 
week, Nov. 2-3, and ought to prove an interesting^ affair. On the 
first day there will be twelve targe events, all of which will be 
shot under the equitable system, as used at the great Minneapolis 
tournament. On the second day the class system will prevail. 
The Grand Hotel cup race for the target championship will be 
shot off on the second day, Nov. 3. In order that conditions gov- 
erning this regular competition may be known, I offer same 
"Any amateur residing in either of the five States, Ohio, Ken- 
tucky, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana, may challenge for the cup 
by sending $10 forfeit to the secretary of the Limited Gun Club, 
Indianapolis. If the directors of the club consider the challenger 
eligible, they will immediately notify the holder, who will accept 
within ten days of the receipt of the challenge, forward $10 to the 
secretary and name a date for the match within thirty days of the 
acceptance of the said challenge. Should the decision be against 
the challenger, his money will be returned promptly. 
"All contests shall take place on the Limited Gun Club grounds, 
Indianapolis, Ind. • . 
"On the day of the "match each party will put up an additional 
$10, the winner to take the trophy and the stake. 
"The match will be shot at 50 targets, unknown angles, per man. 
In case of a tie, the contestants will shoot at 25 targets, unknown 
angles, each, and continue until the match is decided. The cost 
of the targets will be arranged by the contestants. 
"Should the holder fail in any of the above conditions, the cup 
is forfeited to the challenger. • 
"The winner will be required to furnish a satisfactory bond tor 
the safe return of the cup to the Limited Gun Club for challenge 
competition, and for the annual interstate autumn tournament. 
"No challenge will be considered after the holder has been noti- 
fied to return the cup for the annual tournament. 
"The present holder of the cup is Mr. E. E. Neal, of Bloomheld, 
Ind." 
At Chillicothe, O., tournament last week high honors were won 
by Alkire, of Woodlyn, who ran straight in several of the live- 
bird events, and did some fine shooting in the process. 
In the ' death this week at Detroit, Mich., of Mr. John E. 
Long, Western sportsmen suffer a distinct loss. Mr. Long was 
fifty-eight years of age, and had always been a great lover of the 
gun and dog. He was for some time in the sporting trade, a mem- 
ber of the firm of Fisher & Long. In his time he was well 
known at the trap tournaments, as in many forms of gentlemanly 
sport, and his loss is mourned by very many sportsmen friends.

Hunting and Fishing on the C. & O. 
No necessity exists for a journey across the continent for the 
sportsman who is looking for an outing. Five hours from Wash, 
ineton, through the most beautiful mountain scenery this side of 
the Rockies, deer are almost as plentiful this year as they were t m 
the davs when the Old Dominion was first settled by wh te men. 
Since the open season began, on Oct. 1 several Parties have gone 
from Washington into Bath county, Virginia, and the reports 
which they bring back are such as to make the heart of the sports- 
man jump with expectancy. There is plenty of sport to be had 
with the rifle, the shotgun, the fly-rod, and none of the game bags 
or fish creels are brought back empty. i:.„,i 
Within a radius of ten miles from Millboro Va. there are literal- 
ly hundreds of deer. Then too the Cowpasture : River - is teeming 
with bass, and a 21b. small-mouth will make the disc pie of old 
Izaak, who has played the big-mouth on 40yds. of line, think 
that he has a salmon at least on his hook. 
Virginia at this season is the parad se of the sporteman, and 
the Chesapeake & Ohio trains leaving Washington at 2.20 P. M. 
and 11-10 P. M. carry him right into the heart of that paradise.

wires. The music will be sent to any address by the Page Co.
