A New Cticago Medal Series. 
Chicago. III., Aug. 15.— The matter referred to in earlier issues 
of the Forest akd Stream, of a new medal series for the Chicago 
live-bird shooters, has taken very definite and desirable form under 
the management of Mr. W. B. Leffingwell, who inaugurated the 
successful series which occupied the last year in our shooting cal- 
endar here. Mr. Leffingwell does not do this work in this latter 
instance as the represeiltative of any house, but as the chosen 
representative of the Chicago shooters. He states the position and 
tlie proposition in the following communication: 
Aa Open Letter to Chicago Sportsmen. 
The Montgomery Ward & Co. medal shoots, which have re- 
cently terminated, gave such universal satisfaction and created so 
much pleasure to Chicago shooters, that 1 have been asked to 
inaugurate another series o£ shoots, which I have undertaken to> 
do. i wish to say, however, that these shoots will be conducted 
by Mr. John Watson, at his park, and that all ca.sh and other 
prizes will be given by popular subscription, and nothing what- 
ever will be given by dealers, although i wish to publicly thank 
them for their willingness to do so, i'he plan for tlie shoot is for 
each sportsman resiaent of Cook county. III., to subscribe $5 for 
a diamond badge; this plan is so acceptable that I have already re- 
ceived subscriptions sufficient to warrant me in telling the sports- 
men of Chicago that they will have a diamond trophy valued at 
$200 to contest for, Mr. John Watson has very generously ottered 
another trophy, to be given to the one making the highe-st 
average in the series of shoots and valued at $60. All contests will 
be at 15 live pigeons, the shooters handicapped by Mr. Watson. 
At the time of .each contest, those contestmg are to pay !fl en- 
trance fee. This sura, with donations, will be divided among the 
contestants as follows: 
I'ies on 15.— First high gua, the dittmdhd niedal, to 'be Jiel'll tl-ntil 
next regular shoot, also 40 per cent, of entrance money. Second 
high gun, $5 cash, donated each shoot by Mr. E. S. Rice. 
Ties on 14. — Farst high gun, 3U per cent, of entrance money. 
Second high gun, 100 hand-Joaded shells, donated by a contestant. 
Ties on "i3. — ^High gun, 20 per cent, of entrance money. Second 
high gun, 100 hand-loaded shells, donated by a contestant. 
Hign gun on 12 will get 10 per cent, of entrance money. 
The one making the greatest number of consecutive kills in any 
shoot, beginning with the first bird shot at, to hold the John 
Watson high-average medal unlil next shoot. The one winning 
the diamond medal the greatest number of times in twelve shoots 
to retain it permanently. The same with the high-average medal. 
The first contest will take place Friday, Sept. 15, at 1:30 P. M., 
and the contest will be held thereafter on the first and third 
Fridays of each month. These shoots will not be conducted by any 
club, but by the sportsmen generally of Chicago, and any resident 
of Cook county, ill., can participate by paying $5. Should there 
be any surplus after paying for the diamond trophy, such suriilus 
will be disposed of afterward as the subscribers may agree. 
Should any of you who read this, wliose residence is in Cook 
county. 111., wish to participate in these popular shoots, you will 
please send your name and address to me and pay $5 when re- 
quested so to do. — W. B. L,effingwell, 115 Michigan avenue, 
Chicago. 
To-day, Aug. 15. — Mr. Leffingwell had twenty-five signatures to 
his list, and was receiving support so readily that he said he had 
no doubt whatever that at least forty men would come in for 
the medal fund at %5 a head, which would allow the building o£ 
a very pretty emblem. This series will be popular among the 
Chicago boys without doubt, for there will be enough at stake at 
each shoot to make it ctuite woi^th while, even for those who reach 
only second or third places. There will be in all fully .15500 put 
to be contested for, and it is sure that the popularity of this idea 
will continue till the end of the series, which will fall in the 
early spring, in such time as not to conflict with the spring 
campaign of the Illinois Association or other big tournaments 
which will be due when the winter closes. We are shy a little 
shooting excitement here just now, and this coming winter will 
be all the livelier by reason of the every-other-week meetings of 
this live-bird series. 
The Big Chicago Park. 
Progress is making in the matter of the big Chicago shooting 
park, of which extended mention has from time to time been 
made in earlier issues of Forest akd Stream. Subscriptions 
continue to come in, and it is the expressed belief that these will 
aggregate a sum sufficient to warrant the establishment of the 
enetrprise. There is a rumor to eifect that John Watson will 
offer the grounds at a nominal lease; he to keep up the expenses 
of the park after it shall be estabhslied. It is stated that the 
grounds will be obtained of a railroad company, on leasehold, and 
that the buildings and improvements need not run over ,1)10,000. 
It is necessary to raise the money before making known the 
proposed location, for obvious reasons. 
Fox Lake Shoot. 
On Tuesday, Aug. 22, there will be held a target shoot at 
Fox Lake, Wis., under management of R. E. Hoover and D. J. 
llotchkiss, which should prove a very pleasant little event to_ take 
in. There are fifteen events scheduled, and the usual details of 
management, loaded shells, lunch, etc. Targets at P/z cents, 
included in entrance. Grounds at Elmwood Park. 
Eureka Shoot. 
Chicago, 111,, Aug. 19. — All arrangements for the first annual 
target tournament o£ Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, are progress- 
ing most favorably, and there is no reason to doubt that the shoot 
will be a success in every i>articular. This pleasant affair conies 
oil' next Friday and Saturday. 
Large Sale of Guns. 
Very often' we hear of large sales of guns by salesmen repre- 
senting the big gun firms of the country, these usually consisting 
of heavy orders sold to some big firm of retailers or jobbers. 
Who has made the largest sale of guns to individuals, I wonder, in 
the last few years? 1 question very much if we have yet seen 
beaten the record this week made by our friend Mr. Hirth, of 
this city. This week Mr. Hirth sold four foreign-made guns, to 
special order, to custom'—" L "t.? his ov;n counter. The price 
of each gun was $1,000, ni-i two of the guns were intended as 
presents, which latter fact makes suppression of names, desirable. 
This is the biggest counter sale which ever came to my notice in 
the gun line, and indeed, I think the entire sale, $4,000, was 
made in one day to say nothing of other little things. You can't 
stop the old color-bearer. Perhaps I do not need repeat that 
Mr. Hirth Was color-bearer for a noted regiment in the Civil War. 
Audubon. 
This week Oswald von Lengerke won the badge of the Audubon 
Gun Club, with the score of 25 straight, which is a hard one to beat 
in this neck of woods.

Arkansas State Shoot* 
Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 18. — In many respects this was the 
most successful tournament ever given by this Association, for 
not only did the entries exceed those of previous shoots, but for 
general satisfaction and good fellowship it was also above standard. 
The principals seemed to be immensely pleased with the arrange- 
ments and the programme, and there were no protests or com- 
plaints from any of the participants, while many were the com- 
pliments showered upon the management on the smooth and satis- 
factory running of the shoot. Much of the above results are due 
to the energy and enterprise of W. R. Duley, president of the 
Association, and J. K. Ihibault, its hustling vice-president; also 
Mayor Woodson, who is president of the Capital Gun Club, under 
whose auspices the tournament was held, as well as W. D. 
Matthews, who is vice-president of the organization. Mr. Matthews 
is a newspaper man, and very kindly acted as press representa- 
tive for one of the local papers; thereby the shoot was well 
written up in our daily paper, all of which will materially further 
its interest. The above quartette also constituted the tournament 
committee, so that in this respect, too, there was nothing lacking, 
for all of these are capable, competent business men and. ably 
qualified for the positions intrusted to. Lhem. While to these four 
belongs the lion share of the honor for achieving so satisfactory 
results, there are also a number of others who were active in the 
interest of the club and the shoot, among whom must be men- 
tioned John M. Pemberton, John T. Fletcher and G. N, Peay. 
The tournament was held on the club gi'ounds in North Little 
Rock, which has so long been used for this purpose. Some time 
ago it was thought that the club would certainly be compelled to 
relinquish these grounds, but when a committee began to look 
about for a new location it was impossible to find anything suitable 
that was accessible, and it was finally decided to retain the present 
one,s. This could only be done by changing the direction of the 
shooting and throwing the targets out toward the river, so that 
now the shooter faces southeast in place of directly east, as here- 
tofore, which does very well, though not as desirable as before. 
The club has erected a large shooting stand, so that irrespective 
of the weather the shooting could have continued just the same; 
but in regard to this the club has nothing to complain of, as the 
conditions could not have been more favorable at this season of 
the year. 
The grounds' are not the most accessible, and on this occasion 
the shooters experienced some difficulty in reaching them on the 
first day. The club had made arrangements with a reliable livery 
firm to carry the shooters to and from the grounds each day for 
the nominal sum of 25 cents, but unfortunately the^party with 
whom these arrangements had been made was taken ill and it 
appears that no one else was aware of it; so that on the first 
day there was some difficulty in getting to the grounds, which, 
however, was at once overcome. 
Bluerock targets and expert traps were employed at this shoot, 
and as is usually the case gave the utmost satisfaction. The 
screen over the traps is very low, not being over 18in. high, which 
enables the shooter to see the target almost immediately after it 
is released, and tliis found much favor with the shooters. "The 
corps of assistants, from the referee to the trappers, was a most 
efficient one, and many were the compliments paid those who 
acted in this capacity. 
The refereeing of Gibson Thibault and the scoring of Len 
Johnson was as near perfection as possible, and it is questionable 
if either of these erred a single time during the entire shoot. 
Thibault's decisions were always prompt and decisive, while he 
always adhered strictly to the rules. 
Visiting Sportsmen. 
There were present during the shoot A. H, Frank, W. H. 
Thompson and Mr. Loeb, Memphis; J, T. Welch, Robeline, La,;

Association Transactions. 
There was nothing of great importance transacted. The prbtest 
of the Pine Bluff Gun Club over the Sumpter- Matthews match for 
the individual championship medal was withdrawn when it was 
shown that Mr. Mattheys had no intention of violating the rules 
and conditions governing them, and claimed that he was under 
the impression that he had complied with all of them when he sent 
his forfeit to the treasurer of the Association, not having any 
knowledge of the clause requiring publication of his challenge in 
order to make the same binding. 
In order to avoid any like confusion in this matter the con- 
ditions were amended to read as follows: "Holder when accepting 
challenge must return the medal to the treasurer of the Association, 
and the latter will hold the same in trust until the pending contest 
shall be decided, when he shall turn the same over to the winner." 
On motion a legislative committee was appointed, which consists 
of J. A. Woodson, J. T. Lloyd and Dr. A. U. Williams. This 
committee was instructed to renew its elforts to accomplish some^ 
thing in behalf of the Association's measure. The selection of a 
place for holding the next annual meeting was next taken up, and 
as Fort Smith was an.xious to secure this it was granted unani- 
mously. The election of officers resulted in the following selec- 
tion: W, A, Leach, Fort Smith, President; John M, Pemberton, 
Little Rock, Vice-President; Paul R. Litzke, Little Rock, Secre- 
tary; John B. Speers, Pine Bluff, Treasurer. It was also voted 
to change the conditions of the team championship from a four- 
men to a three-men race, and that hereafter this medal be subject 
to a challenge under the same conditions as the individual medal. 
General Averages. 
There being two classes of shooters present at this tournament 
the club had decided to give average money for both. For' 
the professional class $25 had be set aside' to be divided: $15 to 
first and $10 to second high gun. There were only two .entries in 
this class— Budd and Taylor— so that there was' practically no 
competition, so to speak, as it was almost a foregone conclusion 
that Budd would beat out Taylor, which entitled him to first and 
the latter to second. This eventually proved to be the case. In 
the amateur class it was different, and there was quite a scramble 
to be among the seven high guns, so as to get a part of the $50 
reserved for them. A. H. Frank took the lead on the first day 
and succeeded in maintaining it throughout, though on the last 
day his honors were somewhat in jeopardy, as Gottlieb cut , down 
his lead 4 birds; but nevertheless he landed on top and got $10 
for consistent work. Second average went to Coles, which paid 
him $9. Gottlieb getting third, $8. J. T. Welch by his great 
shooting on the last day took fourth, .$7; Joe Matthews getting 
fifth, $6, while Chase and Pemberton, who are tied for sixth and 
seventh, got $5. The order in which the others finished is also 
shown, and as there are eighteen names in the table this also 
exceeds last year's record. The table of averages follows:

First Day, Tuesday, Aug. 15. 
Many of the principals displayed marked ability, and the shoot- 
ing of some of the Simon-pure class is worthy of honorable men- 
tion. True, none of this class succeeded in equaling the great 
total of Charley Budd, one, of the two trade representatives present, 
for he dropped but 7 targets in the programme events, and his 
stride was entirely too fast, for the amateurs present. The com- 
petition for the premiership in; the amateur class was close and 
spirited throughout, and finally went to Frank, who practically 
won out in the last event, as in this he beat Gottlieb 2 birds, which 
was just what his total exceeded that of Gottlied. Frank lias an
