Phcenixville, Pa., Oct. 27. — The- West Chester Gun Club, of 
West Chester, Pa., and the Phcenix Gun Club, of this city, met 
to-day over the traps of the Phcenix Gun Club in the third and 
final shoot of a series of interclub shoots for the championship of 
Chester county. Fully 250 people were present when the match 
began, and were treated to a fine, exciting contest, as the match 
was not fully decided until the last shot was fired, and then it 
was not satisfactory to either side, as Phcenix claim they won ac- 
cording to their score book by the score of 229 to 227, while West 
Chester's score book shows a victory for West Chester bj' 1 bird 
over Pha^nix. After a short talk among 'the shooters the majority 
favored calling the match a darw and shooting another match, to 
decide the championship at West Chester, as each ckrb has won a 
match. The conditions were twelve men per team, each man 
?.hooting at 25 targets over the magautrap. Pehlert, of Phcenix, 
and Green, of West Chester, were high scores with 24 broke out 
of 25. 
NVest Chester. Pa., Oct. 28.— Ford is the winner of the chal- 
lenge cup of the West Chester Gun Club. But five men were 
out to shoot to-day. Gill won to-day's match, and tied Peters 
for second place for the challenge cup. Ford won the cup the 
greatest number of times. Scores:

WESTERN TRAPS. ^ 
Live-Bird Season. 
Chicago. III., Oct. 28.— We are now well launched on the winter 
live-bird season, Eureka Gun Club holding its last target shoot 
to-day. Eureka will shoot live birds at Watson's, splitting dates 
with Garfield, which shoots on its home grounds, but claiming each 
Saturday following the Sportsmen's trophy shoots, which fall at 
Watson's on alternate Fridays. With these two strong clubs shoot- 
ing, with (larden City and Audubon also in the field, and the big 
Sportsmen's trophy contests, we will be pretty fairly busy here 
this winter in live-bird alTau-s. I regret to state that we have lost 
a good deal of ginger in this town of late in live-bird matters, and 
have not seen a good stiff live-bird race for so long that we forget 
\yhat it would look like. Nor is anything very important in this 
line on the tapis at present, so it looks as though most of our 
sport in this regard for a while would be in the form of sweeps, 
where the shooter expects to go out and pay about so much for 
his afternoon's fun. 
Garfield Gun Clab. 
Garfield Gun CIuTd: h^ld its regular live-bird shoot to-day in spite 
of weather, which bid fair to be very unpleasant, and had a very 
good turnout of members. It rained all day to-day up to 12 
o'clock, but ,Lhe weather then grew colder and the rain stopped. 
The prairies Were none too pleasant, but of course the club 
grounds vvere comfortable and the shooting really oft'ered no dis- 
comforts. The wind was stiffish, from left to right, and the birds 
were very good, with very few dwellers. The prevailing flights 
were right quarterers or right quartering incomers. The day being 
very cloudy, the light grew poor toward evening, and the last 
events were shot practically in the dark. Messrs. Royce, Stuch- 
lick. Fanning and Splan shot a 5-bird sweep together practically in 
the dark. Mr. Royce got 4, Mr. Stuchlick 3 and Mr. Splan only 1 
hird, but Mr. J'"aniiing surprised everybody by killing 5 .straight in 
the dark and promjitly declared him.self ready to meet all comers 
in pigeon races to be shot after 9 o'clock at night. Messrs. Stuch- 
lick, Fanning and Splan were not content to give it up even yet, 
and they went on shooting till it got so dark that no one could 
tell whether a bird went out or not. They shot at 15 birds in all 
and only killed 2 between them, and finally agreed to give it up. 
In the trophy shoot Dr. Meek and Mr. M. H. Shaw were the only 
ones to kill 10 straight. ^Vo^kmau and Eaton killed 9, and then 
came a strong following of Ss. This is the second trophy contest 
of the season. The following are the scores:

Ettfeka Gua Qub. 
Chicago, Oct. _ 28. — This was not a perfect day for shooting 
The sky was thickly overcast with clouds, and a strong, cold 
breeze kept the targets down. Notwith-standing this, the scores 
were very good. 
The prizes for the summer trophy were on exhibition at the 
club house, and also the Mussey cup. 
The club allowed the winners of the trophy shoot to choose 
their own rewards. They chose as follows: 
Mr. F. P. Stannard, who won Class A on 23. 24, 24, 24, 24, 23, 
23, 24, 22, 23, or 234 out of 250, an average of .904, chose a set of 
Rogers Bros, silver tableware. 
Mr. R. B. Miller, who won Class B on 22, 23, 22, 20, 22, 20, 22, 
2-5, 24. 20. or 220 out of 250, an average of .880, chose a pair of 
field glasses and a set of gold cuff' buttons. 
Mr. R. B. Carson, with 20, 21, 18, 19, 19, 22, 20, 19, 17, 18, or 
193 out of 250, an average of .772, in Class C, chose a diamond 
set locket 
Mrs. Carson, who won Class D. with 18, 21, 19, 20, 18, 21, 19, 
22, 18, 19, or 195 out of 250, an average of .800, also chose a jew- 
eled locket. 
There were only twelve members present to-day, the majority 
of this flourishing club being out of the city in the field. 
Mrs. Carson was rather disappointed at the scores she made 
to-day, thinking it did not do her credit, as having won in the 
trophy shoot. Followdng are the scores:

Brooklyn, L. I., Oct. 28.— As the field shooting is in full blast 
the attendance at to-day's shoot of the Brooklyn Gun Club was: 
not so large as usual. However, we can hold otu- own with any 
club in this section of the country. 
The main contest of to-day was the fourth monthly shoot for 
the Grand American Handicap free entry, and there were seven 
competitors. Hopkins and Lane scored the limit, 10 points. The 
light was excellent when the first 25 targets of the 50 were shot.: 
As the second 25 were started the sky became suddenly darkly 
overcast, and the light then was very bad. 
Two team shoots were shot between Dr. Gardiner and B. Waters 
on the one side and Dr. Webber and G. Remsen on the other.; 
Each man shot at 50 targets. 
First contest — Gardiner and Waters 45, Webber and Remsen 34,1 
Second contest— Gardiner and Waters 41, Webber and Remsen 37,1 
A team match was then shot between Dr. Wehber and Waters, 
on one side against Dr. Gardiner and Remsen, the latter winning: 
by a score of 39 to 37. 
The G. A. H. contest resulted as follows:
