Gay Burnsidfc's Galesburgf Shoot* 
GAtestiuTR-G, 111., Dec. 7.— J;Srgct and live-bird touriiry 
givtn at OaleslnirH by (Itiy liiirnside, Utc. A to 7, was one ol the 
•best sliootiirg meets of llie year in lUinois. ?iul proves that il is 
net impossible to hold sucee.'^slul slioots e'.'eii in the miil^i ui ih-e 
^season oi field shooting. In iact there Lis leen no tournanieat 
'this season in v.hich a greater nnniber of the representative marks- 
men of the country participatid. '''he fact lliat this wab A'Jr. 
■'Burnside's nviiden effort in this direction would never have been 
:-iu.slpected by an outsider, from the fact that cvury detail was at- 
HeWled to with admirable system aiii forttho'.ight. The .'ihool was 
ihtld on the famous Williams race tracV, One mile ea.-^t ot tlie 
city, which is finely adapted to such ar. evetit. Large tents were 
provided for the convenience of gues'.s, and these were lieaied 
by coke ovens, so that the weather was no object exctiii Wlien 
at the score. 
Targets were thrown from expert traps cn the Sergeant system; 
this part of ihe work being looked after by f'. C. Kiehl, svhile ihe 
ever genial F. C. Whitney, of Des Moines, was belimd the lail- 
ing in charge ot the books. Moneys were divided on the per- 
centage plan— 3 points in 35 and 4 in 20 bird races; 9lt per cent, 
men paid $2 a day e.xtra for the benefit of those less proficient 
who sh'il tlirough, but this fund proved of less consequence than 
might have been expected. 
Tuesday, Dec, 4. 
The weather was not such as one would select for an important 
shooting event. Early in the day light gusts of snow were whirled 
* across tlie field, and although later 'he slorm appeared to pass 
the air coittinued raw, and the targets cut all sorts of fantastic 
capers in the air, that resulted in many surprises on the face ol the 
returns. These conditions may best be appreciated when it is 
noted, that, notwithstanding the very flnuer of the shooting 
talent of the land was represented in the lir-t of contestants, every 
man participating fe'.l beiow the money at least once during the 
day, and only three reathcd the 90 per ctnl, mark. Kolla Ileikcs 
lock first average with 93, Fred (iilberl was a point behind with 
92, and Will Crosby third with 90.5 per cent. The scores fo'.low:

The Smelzer Cup Contest, 
This trophy was probably never' put up in open competition 
where the attendant conditions were less favorable to high scores. 
Ihe targets were thrown 70yds. from e.xoert traps against the 
evening sun, with a stiR wind, and presented a trmy tough orono- 
sition to the shooters. Mr. E. H. Tr.pp. of Indianapo.is, who 
but recent y vvon the Grand Hotel Cup in his own citv, got away 
on the right foot, and led the boys a pace that none was able to 
quite follow. Rol a Heikes came nearest, but 3 birds back, and 
J. A. K. Elliott, by smashing 4S out of the last 50, landed in third 
P j^^V- , ,^ S^™*^ ^.^^^ throughout, and Mr. Tripp, when he 
fired his last shot, was borne from the fie'd like a hero of old on 
the shoulders of his friends. The tabulated scores are here given:

Friday, Dec, 7, Live Birds. 
This was the concluding and proved also the crowning day of 
the tourney. , The programme was devoted entirely to live birds, 
and ..coirs.isfesfl of one i-bird -and a 25-bird handn.ap, the former 
high-, gtins, and the. latter four moneys, c ass shooting. The 
weat'ner was the severest of the week, the wind blowing at times 
a n-iost a gaie, and the birds, most of them brought in from the 
neighborhood, were an cEpecially fast lot. Two sets of ground 
traps were used. and ihooting began at 10 A.M. There were twenty- 
two entries in each race. In the first there were six straights, 
who divided 87 per cent, of the purse, while 13 points re- 
mained to those with 6 kills The big race began at 11 A. M., and 
was run through by 2 o'clock. It is but lair to state that the 
element of lurk was a big factor in this race. Some of the birds 
were easy marks, as tliey refused to get up into the wind, while 
many shot straight up into the air and whir.td at a iurious speed 
to the south and east, making it impossible to shoot with ac- 
curacy. None drew all easy ones, however, and if Mr. Bingham, 
who made llie on y straight, drew fortunatelv at the start he 
mtde up for this in the last 7, of which at least 4 were humrners. 
He wen his honors well, and was rewarded with a handsome 
purse of Jlt8. 
t f the four 24s Riehl's second bird fell- stone dead 2 feet ov.er 
the line; Heikes and Gilbert lost out on a pair of erratic wind- 
splitters, and Courtney went down on an incomer. These lour 
divided second money, $126. 
The custcmary wire boundary fence would have saved several 
scores, but the unusual number of birds dead out is perhaps the 
best indication of the conditions that prevailed. The 23s toofc- 
$gi of the purse and the 22s |42.

Schortemeief — Wiefcfcer Series. 
New York, Dec. 4.— In the team series at live birds under the 
management of Ur. U cbber and myself just finiahtd, the pro- 
granime as carried through, though not over succtssiui, was cer- 
ta'i'y not a failure, as the foilowmg vvill show. The conditions 
should have brought out more teams for competition, biit as most 
of the entire shoots of tlie series were held in the open game 
season tlifs reason probably detracted from their interest. Ap- 
proximately thirty shooters in ail participated in one or more of' 
the events. 
In a total of six contests the East Side Gt:n Club, of .?«'ewark, 
At' '"'^ trophy three limes, the Emerald (iun Club" of

The H. C, Hirschy Live-Bird Trophy. 
Minneapolis, Minn.— The initial shoot for Ihe ll. C. Hirschy 
hve-bird trophy, Nov. 9, failed to draw a crowd, but it did draw 
sortie of the best live-bird shots in the United Slates. 
Those who witnessed the race had the pleasure ol seeing a very 
pretty contest. As soon as the entries were announcid and the 
handicaps given all interest centered on Gilbert, as it seemed ilitit 
from 30yds. he was sure of a straight. But Fred is human, and 
did err. ,a i ^ 
One by one they inissed, and Gilbert made the remark that they 
all had a license to do the saihe and he did not expect to see a 
straight score. 
The birds were a mixed lot, but all fared about equal in the draw 
and all were called on for good ki;ls. Gilbert missed his 20th a' 
hard right-quartering incomer. Budd had some trouble with his 
birds and failed to stop his 13th and 24th; his 2d was a hard =liarp 
left-quarterer, which though hit hard with the first and sccund, 
made its way back to the lott. Klein arrived ahead i>t his <ljfc,ls 
and was compelled to shoot a strange load, whith no d.juln put 
him out of the race. Rice, Hirschy and I'arker shot in gin..| lui-iny 
but were not able to stop some of their hard oiiva. Iln-,vhy. 
however, found contentment in the fact that the winner u-.cd 
Hazard Blue Ribbon. 
Morrison has the same success in shoothig his birds that he has 
m shooting targets, and 1 doubt if there is any amateur in the 
country who has a license to beat him at either game. He h.>ids 
a record for tournaments for the past two years that is hard to 
beat. If I reca;l it correctly, he has participated in twenty-three 
tournaments, winning first in eighteen, second in three, third in 
one, and withdrew in one on account of sickness. A great many 
of these he has had to shoot against the professionals, the same 
as he did in this race. 
Morrison is without doubt the best iii the Northwest, and I 
w-ould like to see him after some of the professionals for some 
of the large trophies. His work in the race for the llirscliv tri.phy 
was fine, and all his kills were clean and timely. He used" a Win- 
chester gun, 45grs. Hazard Blue Ribbon powder in a Winchester 
case.
