FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June 2, 1906 
City Park Gon Ckth. 
New Orleans, La. — The weekly shoot, held on the first day of 
last week, 'was well attended. 
On the whole, the shooting was very fair, and fHe weathelr per- 
fect. The only possible drawback was the stiff, puffy wind. In the 
handicap shoot three of the newer members, with their added dead 
birds for misses, tied on the possible, and it required two ties to 
be shot off to decide the winner, which proved to Mr. Pitard. 
The handicaps were found to be a trifle too large, as the' scratch 
men were practically required to make possibles every time. An 
invitation was received from the New Iberia Gun Club to shoot 
its team in Iberia on the 27th, and Tijessrs. McKay, Saucier, Bene- 
dict, Cousin and Lhote will attend. In the score following the 
allowed birds were gratuitously added to actual score: 
Twenty-five birds, handicap prize shoot:

May 22.— The day was an ideal one, yet the averages show the 
shooting at City Park was below the normal. Mr, Saucier won 
the heat for the medal, closely pressed by Mr. Pitard. Next 
Sunday the City Park Gun Club, through its representatives, 
McKav, Stone and Benedict, will pay a visit to the New Iberia 
Gun Club, and on Sunday, June 3, will entertain the Mobile Gun 
CIuId. So many lO-bird heats were shot that it is only possible to 
give the scores on the handicap prize shoot and the grand average 
of each contestant for the day.

Florists' Gmo. Qub. 
PHtLADELt-HiA, Pa., May 8. — Good shooting marked the contests 
of the Florists' Gun Club at Wissinoming to-day. Dr. George- 
Bell, the president, announced that a special trophy would be put 
up for the high gun at each monthly shoot, to be contested for until 
the first of the year. This trophy has been put up to bring out 
the good shots in the club who have stayed away. 
J, J". Hallowell finished first in the club shoot, making a total of 
53 points, including his handicap. In the special trophy match 
it was a pretty race between Hallowell, Anderson and Park. An- 
derson made a run of 25 straight at known angles, Hallowell and 
Park scoring 24 each. The unknown angles were thrown from 
the magautrap, and were thrown very fast. Anderson lost four in 
a bunch, and did not strike his gait again until too late. Hallo- 
well won, with 47 out of 50. Anderson and Park tied at 42. The 
score follows:

Chicago, May 19. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day. A strong and very gusty north wind off the lake 
blew directly across the traps, chilling the shooters and making the 
night of the targets very erratic: consequently no verv high and 
only a few fair scores were made. 
R. Kuss and C. P. Richards tied on 20 for A tropin-, Dr. I. W. 
Meek won B trophy on a score of 22. while Dr. C B. Graves

Chicago, 111., May 26.— Inclosed find scores made on our grounds 
to-day on the occasion of our third trophv shoot. The shooting 
was over a magautrap, and many of the niembers had never shot 
over one before. That, together with a strong southwest wind 
niaae the shooting difficult, and consequentlv the scores are in the 
mam below grade. Dr. Shaw won Class A medal on a score of 
S. E. Young won B, on 18, and J. D. Pollard C, on 16. Other 
events, outside of team shoot, were sweeps.

The niinois State Association. 
Chicago. 111., May 26.— In regard to the statement in my report 
of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association tournament that the 
convention was adjourned in order to give attendants at the shoot 
an opportunity to see the prize fight which was held Tuesday even- 
ing, I must say that it was a regrettable matter, which arose in 
misunderstanding, and which appears to have gained additional 
misunderstanding. The statement that the above were the facts 
came to me in the first place from an employee of the management 
who held a responsible position. It was generally prevalent upon 
the grounds, and the supposed truth gave rise to much unfavorable 
comment. With others, 1 asked the president if the convention 
was to be adjourned, and the reply was that such was the case. 
Newspaper men do not usually care to personally voice any un- 
favorable comment they may feel obliged to make, and I did not 
go into the matter with any officer of the Association, though won- 
dering at the situation very much. 1 have later heard that a mem- 
ber of the board of directors said that the above was the cause of 
adjournment, but this I do not believe to be true. I also heard 
that a notice stating the above cause of postponement was posted 
down town, but this I do not now believe to be true, and if done 
at all this must have been done by irresponsible parties. The 
daily press printed the same statement, and the matter was com- 
mon comment among the newspaper men at the grounds. I do 
not care to assign any responsibility to the management for such 
a rumor, and I do not care to give the name of my official inform- 
ant. It is a very poor way to get one's self out of trouble by 
trying to get some one else in. and I will not do this. The fault 
was not that of the Forest and Stream, but my own personally, 
and no one else is to blame but myself. The statement was writ- 
ten early in the week, my copy being filed daily, and I later neg- 
lected to go in,to it further. This is no excuse from a journalistic 
standpoint, and I do not offer it as such, though this is the way 
many journalistic errors are made. Of course, there was no per- 
sonal animus. I have very many warm friends among the man- 
agement and members of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Associa- 
tion, and I could not willingly offend or hurt any of them. In 
doing so unintentionally I violated good newspaper ethics, and 
this fact constitutes a pain to any newspaper man. In the true 
newspaper creed, a reporter ought not ever to be afraid of the 
facts, but he ought to be mighty careful that he has his facts. As 
it seems to me the manly thing to print the facts and give 
the news always, so also, and as a corrollary to that feeling, it 
seems manly to admit an error when one discovers that he has 
made one. Therefore I very gladly admit my personal regret that 
that so loosely covered and misleading statement should have ap- 
peared in the very careful and very honorable columns of the For- 
est and Stream. It was through my own fault and no one else's 
This statement I extend to the Forest and Stream and to the 
profession of newspaper work, and to all the members of the Illi- 
nois Association, upon whom the original statement sits with dis- 
tinct injustice, E. Hough.

Hot Springs Items. 
Olathe, Kan., Muy 23.~Bditor Forest and Stream: 1 have re- 
turned from a month's sojourn at Hot Springs, where I have been 
trying to make good shooting eyes through the treatment of 
stomach trouble, and, by the way, succeeded remarkably well.. 
The Hot Springs shooters are not very active at the traps this 
spring. From four to eight generally get out about once a week 
and have a nice little shoot. The boys down at this Monte Carlo 
seem to be jogging along at the rate of 80 to 88 per cent. gait. 
AVhen I dropjjed into the Springs, I made my presence known to 
Dr. A. II. Williams, the prince of good fellows, who has held 
the Arkansas championship until of late, and to De Long, who 
then held the championship. The boys immediately rustled up a 
crowd for me, and had a nice little shoot. 
Whenever a shooter goes into Hot Springs, if he makes his 
presence known to Dr. Williams, he is insured a pleasant time. 
The Doctor, besides being a splendid shooter, has a tremendous 
jiractice, and is regarded as one of the wealthiest men in Hot 
Springs, and a shooter cannot spend any money when he is in the 
Doctor's company. De Long was shooting badly. He was then, 
as he generally is, tinkering with his gun. He had just mounted 
a Monte Carlo piece on the stock of his pump and was altering 
it daily; but with all his plans to change the shooting of his gun 
every time he used it the worst he could do was 80 per cent, gait 
during my stay there. 
If there are any of the shooting fraternity who have never spent 
a lew weeks m Hot Springs they will find it one of the most de- 
lightful places in the world to visit, and receive great benefit from 
a stay there. The baths are perfection of luxury, the hotels are as 
fine as there are in the world, and the visitors seem to revel in a 
round of pleasure from morning to night. There are concerts, 
music, dancing, drives, mountain climbing and fishing, and fre- 
quently an entertaining argument in the tabernacle that make the 
time go by very pleasantly. 
By the way, I asked you some time ago if there is a better 
authentic amateur record in a 100-bird or target race over the 
magautrap or Sergeant system than 96 and 99 out of 100 in a race 
between two men. Have you been able to find it?
