MarshalltowQ wins. 
Marshalltown Gun Club, of Iowa, defeated Ottumwa Gun Club 
May 18 in the contest for the championship emblem of the Iowa 
State Sportsmen's Association, the race being at singles and 
doubles, and the score, Marshalltown 177, Ottumwa 163. 
Montgomcty Ward Diamond Badge. 
The seventh contest for the Montgomery Ward & Co. diamond 
badge, held at Watson's yesterday alternoon, brought out twenty- 
two entries, with one visitor, who shot through the score. These 
contests continue wiUi unabated interest, and are the success of 
the local shooting year. The weather was pleasant enough, and 
the sport was watched with interest by many until nearly dark. 
Toward evening the birds became more mixed, a sprinkling of 
slow starters, with occasional fast ones. The tie snooting ran 
on well into the evening. George Watson officiated as referee 
and handicapper, his father, John Watson, being absent at St. 
Louis in a similar capacity. The excellence of the handicapping 
that it was not until the fifth string that a winner could be an- 
nounced. George Roll was the lucky man, and came in winner 
by a nose since he missed his last bird and would have been 
retired had not his sole remaining competitor, Mr. Sellers, also 
missed his last bird, this making 2 straight misses- for the latter, 
something which he had not done before during the whole shoot. 
A glance at the scores will show that some long runs were 
made. Dr. Shaw missed his first bird and then killed 25 straight 
with the first barrel. To this he added 7 more straight, and then 
missed his 33d bird. George Roll had something of a similar 
record. He used up his handicap bird at the first shot, then killed 
15 straight, and added 19 more straight in the ties, missing his 
35th bird. Meantime the men who had been allowed something 
in handicap were pounding along in the ties, with Roll and 
Shaw, who were shot scratch in the ties. Felton, Boa and Hol- 
lister did not outlast the first string. Amberg, scratch, was a 
favorite, but could not finish the third string, which also ended 
Krueger. In the fourth frame Shaw, Searles, Smith, Sellers 
and Roll remained. Searles, who had been shooting well, missed 
3 straight and sat down decisively. Dr. Shaw missed his Uiird 
bird in this string, and there being three others still in the race, 
he concluded that he was out of it and packed his gun, going 
to the depot to catch a train. Smith now missed 3 straight and 
fell out. Sellers missed one besides his handicap. It was up to 
George Roll to kill his last bird and win alone. Roll, however, 
missed this bird, and having no handicap bird, was thus tied with 
Sellers on 4. As Dr. Shaw could tie this score by killing 2 more 
birds, he would have been eligible to shoot had he not left the 
grounds. Of course he forfeited his rights by leaving the grounds, 
and though he was by mistake sent for at the depot and returned 
to the grounds, he was not allowed to shoot. Sellers and Roll 
then continued, the former missing 3 out of his 6, and Roll winning 
as above described. Goodrich won the tie on 14 with 9 straight, 
and Palmer won the tie on 13 with 6 straight. Mr. Piatt Adams, 
of New York, brother of Mr. A. W. Adams, president of the 
Eureka Gun Club, shot through the event, scoring 13. The 
following are the scores, at 15 live birds:

Eureka Gun Club. 
A nice little attendance turned owt for the regular weekly con- 
test of the Eureka Gvr\ Club to-day, The main event was for the

Dr. Miller. The following were the scores: Morgan 18, Cunnyng- 
ham 14, A. W. Adams 18, Cornwall U, F. Standard 15, W. D. 
Stannard 15, Dr. Miller 19. 
In the club shoot, classified, for the target trophy, at 25 targets, 
W. D. Stannard showed to the front in Class A, Dr. B. B. Miller 
in Class B, Dr. Morton in Class C. In Class D there were two 
entries, Mrs. C. W. Carson, wife o't tile honorable secretary, and 
Mr. Piatt Adams, of New York city. Mr. Adams is a good 
live-bird shot, but Ln the targets either his inexperience or his 
gallantry put him in second place, Mrs. Carson beating him by 
7 birds in the very creditable score of 18 birds. The following are 
the scores in the club event.

for two events, Nos, 4 and 7, in which the competition was close 
and protracted, several ties being shot off before definite con- 
clusions were determined. In No. 4 Schortemeier won first, a 
fine gun case; Remscn won second, some loaded shells; Watson 
won third, a sterling silver souvenir spoon. 
The ties in the merchandise events were shot off in the regular

Brooklyn, L. I., May 20.-John Wright wore a smile of rare 
elasticity when the day of May 20 ended, for his shoot was a de- 
cl 
aeTr^Wright" wlslicd to have 'the conditions so as to encourage 
amateur interest, for he is a great believer in the sterlmg worth 
of that long aspiring individual, so he evolved the following con- 
ditions, which are a model of rules in their way: 
BROOKLYN GUN CLUB.

main event was tackled, Messrs, Remsen, Banks, Kemble, Wright

wind blowing from left to right across the traps in the earlier 
part of this event, which played havoc with some of the scores.

Efgin National Gun Club. 
Elgin, 111., May VJ— Editor Forest and Stream: The Elgin Na- 
tional Gun Club, having just completed their new shooting park, 
will open it with a grand target tournament on June 3 and 4. 
The club is composed of sixty of the most prominent business 
men and citizens of this city, who are bound together by rules 
and constitution to protect and uphold the game laws of this State. 
They are men who never leave a leaf unturned to make it pleas- 
ant and satisfactory for all who attend their shoots. 
The work of promoting and conducting this tournament is done 
by members of the club, men of wide experience in trap shooting 
and are always up with the times. The new park consists of six 
acres of natural field shooting grounds, so situated that we have 
a clear sky. backgrovmd for targets and live birds, and the shooting^ 
of both can be carried on at the same time without interference. 
The cliib has adopted the Sergeant system for targets, and all 
shoots will be governed by the American Association rules. We 
have a large and warm club house, which will give protection to 
all during stormy and cold weather, and which is equally pro- 
tected in summer. Surrounding the house, north, west and south, 
is an orchard of wide-spreading apple trees and an elegant grove of 
maples and evergreens, making it one of the most desirable shoot- 
ing and picnic grounds in this vicinity; and now, with all these 
improvements, the boys are cleaning the rust off their guns and 
are marching to the firing line in company front, and declaring by 
Old Glory (which always floats from the club house flagstaff) that 
they have the finest shooting park in the State, and as soon as 
they get the guns unlimbered and new stock of smokeless powder 
they will be ready to go down the line with the rest. The offi- 
cers are: W. K. Hawthorn, President; C. E. Middleton, Secre- 
tary, and Joe Reeh, Treasurer.
