Patcfson Wins Chicago Trophy. 
^Chicago, 111., July 14. — In the three-coniered final race for the 
Chicago trophjr to-day, between Messrs. Paterson, Palmer and 
Hicks, the former won with the greatest ease, and thus retired 
that emblem from public view. His two competitors have be- 
tween them shot ten races since Paterson was practically barred 
out of the competition some months ago, though he challenged 
frequently, and was once defeated by Palmer. The new trustees 
did a wise thing in arranging this three-cornered race. Silas 
Palmer said to-day at the close of the race, "The trophy goes 
to the right man," and under the circumstances this seems to be 
the general feeling. 
Mr. Palmer was to-day perhaps the favorite of the three con- 
testants in the general choice, his record for the past several 
months being a very strong one. Mr. Hicks was expected to be 
in the running, bvit as to Mr. Paterson there was some donbt. 
He has not been shooting a great deal lately, and it was not 
Ictiown whether he retained much of the form he showed in the 
earlier races of this series. He proved, however, that he has gone 
forward, rather than back, and he shot in perfect form to-day, 
killing 29 out of his SO birds and using his second barrel but three 
times, once on the only bird he lost. It would have taken very 
hard work to beat him as he shot to-day. The wind blew toward 
the score frcmi the left quarter. The weather was dull, cloudy and 
humid. Uii I r such conditions the birds could not be expected 
to be very last, and they might rather be called mixed, now and 
then a very fa.st one among the slower ones. 
Mr. Hicks lost his 4th, 5th and 6th birds, the last dead out, He 
also missed his 12th bird, and thus fell back of Mr. Palmer, who 
had only missed 3 at that stage. Mr. Hicks lost his 22d and 30th 
dead out, the latter a very fast one. Mr. Palmer failed to stop 
his 19th, 22d and 25th, going out with 24 also. Meantime Mr. 
Paterson was shooting a race by himself without any company. 
He was never headed from start to finish, and centered his birds 
with the first in most remarkable fashion. His 8th bird was a 
handsome kill. His 12th bird, the only one he lost, was touched 
with the first, but lightly. His 29th was an excellent kill with 
the first barrel. Mr. Palmer got some fast birds in his string, 
notably his 1st, 18th, 25th and 30th. ITis 25th bird was a very 
fast twister, which was touched, but slightly, with the first. 
Mr. Paterson shot his B. O. E. Remington, 3y2drs. Du Pont, 
chilled Ss in the right and 7s in the left. The following is the 
score :

Audubon — Garden City, 
There will be an interesting team race shot Saturday, July 
22, at Watson's, between Audubon and Garden City gun clubs, of 
this citjf. Some interest is manifested over this event. We will 
need to stir up some races of this sort, as the Montgomery 
Ward series will soon be over, and we shall then be without any 
regular events to keep up the general interest ovitside of the club 
shoots .-

The Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, July 15.— Inclosed please find scores as made on our 
grounds to-day. Despite the fact of its raining hard until almost 
1 o'clock, and still looking very threatening, nineteen members 
braved the weather and came out to quite a successful afternoon's 
shooting. Very fair scores were made, C. P. Richards winning 
Class A medal with a score of 22, while Dr. Meek and W. P. 
Northcott tied for Class B medal on scores of 23. Northcott finally 
won B medal after another tie had been shot. Cornelson won C 
medal on the very creditable score of 20. The atmosphere was 
murky and light uncertain. No wind.

twice winner of the Grand American Plandicap; Tramp Irv.'in,

Boston Gun Club. 
Wellington, Mass., July 15.— Eight shooters combined forces 
at Wellington Wednesday, July 12, and enjoyed themselves ac- 
cordingly. Match scores were placed, though not running as 
high as usual, Miskay and Leroy being the only ones to improve 
their six-score totals. 
After the match Mr. Leroy suggested universal 16yd. practice, 
hi.s 7s, 8s and 9s at 21yds. hardly suiting his hopeful nature, and 
vet not exactly wishing others to give him distance. On dropping 
3 out of 50 targets he even regretted those, saying there was no 
earthly reason for it e.xcept carelessness. Some of the others 
present rather wished so small a lost percentage was all they had 
to regret, whether frohi carelessness or otherwise. Scores in full:

Denver Tournament. 
Recent advice from this point pertaining to the tournament of 
the Overland Gun Club, which was held on July 7 to 9, indicate 
that this was a very pleasant affair, though the attendance was 
not very large. The first day but fourteen shooters participated, 
and of these A. B, Daniels was high with 196 out of a possible 
200, a percentage of .980; J. A. R. Elliott was second with .970; 
J. W. Garrett, of Colorado Springs, third, .960, and Capt. 
Sedam, the old veteran, fourth, with .950. The weather conditions 
were ideal, and the shooters must have been in the very best of 
form to roll up such high averages. Daniels broke hi® first 98 
straight, which was the best run of the day. 
The second day the attendance was much better, being nearly 
twice the number of that on the previous day. However, the 
leaders did not quite reach the high totals, and there is a corre- 
sponding falling off in the averages. Daniels is again high with 
.955, Garrett second, .930, while Capt. Sedam, Pickett and Elliott 
are tied with .920. These constitute the five high men of the day., 
A squad composed of Elliott, Sedam, Garrett, Pickett and Daniels 
broke 99 out of 100 in event No. 3, Elliott missing the only target 
of the squad. 
After tlae programme was disposed of, Daniels, Elliott, Garrett, 
Sedam and Ellis engaged in a 50-ta,rget event. Garrett and. 
Elliott took the money in this event on 49 out of 50, though each 
of the other three scored 48. During part of the day there was a 
good wind, which, while it prevailed, assisted in no small measure 
in marring the averages. 
The third day brought otit a still larger attendance, the local 
men especially turning out well. Pickett and Elliott are high 
with .955, while Daniels did his poorest work of the shoot, though 
his average is .945. Capt. Sedam has an average of .930, and 
Haywood .920. When the programme was disposed of, a handi- 
cap for a gun followed. This was won by C. Mann and C. S. 
Barnes, who -sold the gun and divided the cash. 
During the entire programme of the three days, which called 
for 600 shots, A. B. Daniels missed but 24 targets, an average of 
8 a day. This gives him the great percentage of .960 for the entire 
tournament. J. A. R. Elliott did nearly as well, as he scored 569, 
an average of .945. 
St. Louis Doings. 
The initial contest for a silver trophy, which represents the 
championship of St. Louis at live birds, took place at Du Pont 
Park, on July 8, and brought out twelve entries, of which number 
King proved the winner by scoring his allotted 25 birds straight. 
Taylor, Peck and Dick were second, with but a single loss. Alto- 
gether the scores ran very high. There will be a similar contest 
a week later. The first contest for this trophy should have 
taken place on the Fourth, but was prevented by rain.

Capital Gun Club. 
The local club held its first medal shoot on the 13th. This 
was a 50-target handicap affair. J. K. Thibault won out with a 
.score of 46, having an allowance of one bird. None of the other 
contestants were factors in the race to any extent, as none of 
them displayed any form. However after the main event was de- 
cided Fletcher duplicated Thibault's score, and by breaking- 
his first 26 birds .straight made the best run of the day. The 
above race will be repeated hereafter every Thursday.
