Illinois Gun Club. 
Springfield, 111., Dec. 4. — Editor Forest and Stream: The annual 
meeting of the Illinois Gun Club, held at the Leland Hotel, in this 
city, on Dec. 3, elected the following officers for 1901: President, 
Capt. Harrv ^il. Smith; Vice-President, Edward L. Snodgrass; 
Secretary Chas. T. Stickle; Treasurer, Geo. E. Day; Field Captain' 
Arnold W. Butler. f > 
The reports of the secretary and treasurer show a paid up mem- 
bership of 163; the club has buildings and accounterments at a 
very conservative estimate valued at $1,500, and is practically free 
from debt. 
The club is a unit on doing everything possible to advance 
the interests of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association tourna- 
ment and convention in this city next spring.

Watson's 'Wild 'West. 
Chicago, 111., Dec. 8.— Next week your Uncle John Watson turns 
loose his wild West pigeon show, and from all appearances it will 
be up to the legal standard. Four days of it in all, and each one 
hotter than the rest. This is the first time in some moons that 
we have had a good bird shoot here, and the local men are a bit 
anxious for the Uth to arrive. 
Chicago Gun Club. 
Dr. Carson, secretary of the Chicago Gun Club, sends out this 
ominous summons to the fray: ^ 
"The annual meeting of the Chicago Gun Club for the election 
of officers, the accepting of the new constitution and by-laws, and 
other important business, will be held at the Sherman House, 
Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 8 o'clock s^iarp. Be sure and be there, as a 
big fight is on." 
All American— No English Team Race. 
There is a low, heavy simmer in the news about the proposed 
American-English team race. Mr. Paul North writes about the 
matter in a personal letter, from which I quote a part: 
"What I have tried to do is to get the boys together in as quiet 
a way as possible, have them put up their own money, manage 
their own shoot, and pick out ten of the best men in the United 
States, regardless of their trade connections, and have the match 
run entirely on a basis free from all advertising purposes, etc., and 
in this connection had suggested to the boys that no one else 
connected with the trade should have anything to do with the 
management of the team. If they would get the team up I would 
try and make the match." 
Mr. North deserves credit as the originator of this team race 
idea, and it is to be hoped, and indeed to be believed, that he may 
yet succeed in his first plans. This would be one of the biggest 
bits of shooting history of the present part of the century, and 
it is much to be wished that it may come off as planned. After a 
trip like that some of the "steadies" might perhaps feel like re- 
tiring from the score; or again, they might feel so set up about 
their .skill abroad that they might feel like beginning all over 
again.

Garfi^ Gun Club. 
Chicago, 111., Dec. 8. — ^The following scores were made on the 
Garfield Gun Club's grounds on the occasion of an extra shoot 
between trophy days. The wind blew strongly across the traps — 
so strongly at times that it was impossible for a shooter to stand 
still. The birds were very fast, as the percentage of dead out of 
bounds will testify. The attendance is so small at these shoots 
that the managenient has decided to stop all Saturday shoots 
except those on the first and third Saturdays of each month, 
these being the trophy days. Extra shoots will be held only on 
holidays. Scores:

The Interstate Park Association Handicap Committee. 
Interstate Park, L. I., Nov. 24. — Editor Forest and Stream: 
.Since our last communication in the matter of handicap committee 
for Interstate Park we have communicated with several gentlemen 
as indicated in previous letter and have acceptances from the fol- 
lowing, who have expressed their willingness to serve: Messrs 
W. K. Park, Jacob Pentz, B.' Waters, J. H. Voss, J. S. Wright 
L. H. Schortemeier, W. A. Hobart, W. F. Sykes, Elmer E. 
Shaner, J. J. Wellbrock, Henry Koegel, Dr. Wm. Wynn Dr. G. 
V. Hudson and Dr. A. A. Webber. 
This committee will meet on Dec. 15 at 5 P. M. It is hardly 
possible that the labors of this committee will be much more than 
started on the date above set, but we are in hopes that it will 
bring forth good results in time. 
It is not intended to make this committee exclusive, but to add 
to its number, as desirable representatives make themselves known 
or are brought to our attention, as we have but one object, that 
of the best result for the common good. 
J. A. H. Dressel, Sec'y.
