Thafsday, Third Day, Dec. 13. 
Again a very bright, clear, sunshiny day, cold, but not too 
cold for comfortable sboting, and this time with not so strong a 
wind as that which maiie yesterday's shooting so trying. The 
birds flew well, and about the middle of the morning they were 
going nearly as fast as they did yesterday. During the afternoon 
they, \vere not so hard to stop, though there were almost no 
dwellers. 
The entry in the main event of the day, the handicap, ran up 
to fifty-six, which gives pretty fair promise of an entry for the 
big sweep of to-morrow at 25 birds, which will compare very welt 
with the record of last year, sixty-two entries. The additional 
shooters to-day made it very difficult to get through with the pro- 
gramme, and the later squads, from No. 6 up to No. 10, had to 
shoot their last four birds in a light which varied from twilight 
at No. 6 to black night for No. 9 and No. 10. Kleinman and 
Tramp came up in the same squad, and both had chances for 
straights, at that time Fred Gilbert, Geo. Dieter and big Jack 
Hallowell having been the only men able to kill them all. Tramp 
tried pretty hard on his Itth bird, but it swung around and went 
out on the right quarter. He also missed his last bird. Abe 
Kleinman killed his first two, but came near losing his next 
in his string of four finishing birds. This bird sprang high and 
was none too good a mark in the dim light against the gray 
fence background. Abe missed it clean with his first, and then 
"began to hunt for it," as he said, and managed to get it full 
with his second. This was the last straight made, and the grow- 
ing darkness perhaps spoiled another one at least. Leffingwell 
was straight when he came from No. 2 set of traps to finish his last 
four birds at No. 1 set, but it was by that tifiie so dark that it 
was largely guesswork. He missed his first bird and bis last 
of the fatal four. He, Amberg and Graham were the last men to 
shoot, and of course they had no even break with those who had 
had light to shoot by. For the last three squads white birds were 
trapped, in order to ^fte a better chance to the shooter in t'le 
dim light, yet many tfmes the birds were most diiticult to see 
even from the standpoint of spectator. Along the gun barrel it 
was a still harder matter, and it was simply the eye of faith gained 
in the duck marshes at dark which gave these men any show at all. 
{'raham killed all his birds apparently as well as though it were bright 
daylight. Amberg killed his first three, twice under unusual cir- 
cumstances. His second bird in the last four turned out to be 
a dark bird, and by the best of luck in the world was a sitter. 
As the trap fell open it was so dark that neither shooter nor 
puller could at first tell whether or not there was any bird at all 
there. By stooping down the outline of its neck could be seen. 
Quick as a flash Graham called out "Kill it," and quick as the 
same flash Amberg killed the bird on the ground by firing at the 
dark rnass where the trap could be faintly seen. This of course 
gave him another bird, and shows one more instance of the ins and 
outs of the pieeon game. His next bird was a white one, and 
he killed it. His very next shot was at No. 1 trap, and here, too, 
the bird was a sitter, hardly knowing whether or not to fly. 
Amberg thought to repeat his performance of the former instance, 
smce this bird, though a white one, could hardly be seen, and 
was thought to be a dark one. It chanced that just as he fired 
the bird sprang, and he killed it just barely in the air! His next 
bird was a strbnu outsoer. but it was disposed to come around 
to the coops to the other birds, as did most of these late birds. 
Amberg missed it with his first barrel, but then very wisely and 
coollv waited on it, as it practically disappeared from sight in 
the deep field. It swune arcund in and came into sight against the 
sky line on the left. Waiting till it came c'ose in, Amberg killed 
It with bis second barrel, but unfortunately it was so near the 
dp?d line thai it fell dead across the wirel This put him in the 
IZ hole and hack of the money. There were a dozen 14s in this 
event, but the first p'ace paid very well with onlv four in it 
Dunnsr the dav Tom Keller, of the Peters Cartridge Co. came 
out to see what he could do, and he had as much fun as anvbody, 
Uiough he did not get into the money ip the big event of the day, 
Jack Hallowell arrived to-day, the first moment in which it was 
possible for him to get here. A. D. Sperry and wife came in last 
night from Rock Island, and Mr. Sperry shot to-day and wll r-*- 
Riam for to-morrpyf, Qeo, Di^^eip had better luck to-day than 
yesterday, and showed that Milwaukee could furnish not only one 
man, but two, able to kill 16 straight. Geo. Mosher, of the Syracuse 
Arms Co., continued to mingle to-day, using his 32in. barrel gun, 
which looks at least a foot longer than a 30in. barrel. There was 
a large and able-bodied contingent of contributors to-day, and it 
did not all come from among the lambs. Jimmie Elliott went to 
the barn at his 7th bird in the handicap, Pop Heikes could not 
get past his 12th, and Charlie Budd had to scratch mighty hard 
to get 13 of them in the game sack. Phil Daly killed all but 
1 in the handicap, and so proved that they raise shooters down 
East once in a w-hile as well as out in this part of the world. 
Geo. Roll was another l4-man, and he came in that class by a lunny 
sort of incident. He had them all up to his 15th bird, which was not 
a very hard one. He nicked it a little with his first, and it lit 
near the trap, perhaps 33yds. from the score. He fired the 
second barrel at it deliberately on the ground, and it meant some 
money, too. The shot struck all around the bird, it sprang up 
and again fell, but the dog chased it out. Following are the 
scores of to-day:

Friday, Fourth Day, Dec. H. 
The admirable weather continued until the end of the shoot, the 
last day being overcast, damp and chilly, but with a fresh enough 
air to keep the birds moving well. Only the one event was shot 
off, the big handicap at 25 birds, $15, and the shooting was con- 
cluded long before the light began to grow dim. A few sweeps 
were shot at the conclusion of the main event. 
The entry in the handicap did not quite equal that of last year, 
when it ran to sixty-two. There were fifty-seven entries to-day, and 
it would be hard to find another fiftv-seven who would be better 
representatives of skill in live-bird shooting. The scores, if 
looked at by one ignorant of the prevailini?" conditions, would 
seem to give the lie to the .above statement. They look as though 
a lot of beginners had been at work. In reality the game w^as one 
which asked the best skill of every shooter, and added to that, that 
little factor of luck which goes so far toward deciding a close race 
one way or the other. On the four days' shooting, Gilbert turns 
out with high average, followed closely by George Roll, of Blue 
Island. Each of these shooters made 24 to-day, Gilbert missing his 
second bird and then killing out straight, Bingham, Powers, 
Tramp and Arnold came traveling hot-foot also just back of the 
first place. There were eight in the 23-hole— among these Jack 
Hallowell, Jimmv Elliott, Tom Marshall and Elmer Neal In 
the 22-hole landed such of (he old-timers as Heikes, Crosbv Lem 
Willard, Leffingwell. etc. The first money contest narrowed down 
late in the game to one st-aight and one possible. Dr William- 
son, of Milwaukee, was straight, and J R. Graham, of Long f.ake 
111., w-as the possible, and he dulv cinched the chance. Graham 
shot to-day, as he did yesterday, in sp'endid form, and centering 
hia birds carefully. He deserved the good fortune of making the 
second man out of the fifty-seven who proved able to kill 25 of 
them straight. Dr. Williamgofi during the week made a run of 55 
birds killed straight. He is shooting a great gait right now, and 
^hie performance of 5? pirdu f.t ^yatson's this hard ynt^ probably 
the best shooting he ever did in his life. It surely puts him in the 
strictly dangerous class for anybody to tackle. None the less a 
match at 100 birds has been arranged between him and George 
Roll, of Blue Island, and this race will be shot at Watson's 
within the next ten days. All Milwaukee will go behind Williarn- 
son, but it is not a matter of much odds in his favor. A 100-bird 
race is a long road to travel, and a man may go out of form and 
drop a few points in his temporarily slashing gait inside oi a day 
or so. The time for Dr. Williamson to shoot George Rojl was 
right here this week. ' The big iceman is not a bad performer 
himself in a long race, and though not the favorite in this con- 
test will no doubt give .a good account of himself. It is to be 
hoped that the race will be shot under weather conditions as, 
favorable as those which have prevailed this week. _ 
Mrs. Murray to-day strengthened the good impression she- 
makes as a live-bird shotter by the very good score of 22, and 
found herself in very good company at that. Some ot the experts- 
had tp go to the barn at comparatively early stages in the game.. 
Dieter only got to his 12th bird, Courtney retired at 18, Budd at 
his 12th, Riehl at his 15th, Barto and Odell at the 12th, Si Palmer 
at the 12th also. Emil Werk got along to his ISth. Dick Merrill,, 
who came down from Milwaukee to have a look at the main: 
event, had to sit down after his 16th bird. Of course the usual 
amount of merriment followed the unlucky ones, who fell back 
of the money. The first money amounted to $209.55, which made- 
quite a nice little thing between the two winners. 
There was a hot little miss-and-out after the close of the maini 
shoot, and a little 10-bird shoot between Palmer and Cantillon on 
the one side, against M. E. White, of Milwaukee, and H. Odell, 
of Chicago. The former won, and the latter are so little satisfied' 
with the result that they have asked for a match at 50 live birds, 
price of the birds and suppers, to be shot at Watson's next 
Friday. Palmer and Cantillon agreed to this. So it seems we- 
are to have a little revival in shooting matters here as a result 
of the winter tournament. 
A good many of the boys, left town to-night, but a few will re- 
main over until to-morrow for business reasons or in order to- 
look about the city snd enjoy the famous lake breeze. The follow- 
ing are the scores of the day:

Best Shoot Yet, 
As the boys shook hands with John Watson to-night to bid hira 
good-by, the grizzled old veteran wore a face wreathed with 
smilesj not at their going away but at their having been pres- 
ent. Spoken with this evening, Mr. Watson said, "This is far and 
away the best shoot I have ever held. 1 never saw a nicer lot of 
shooters together anywhere in all my life. There was not a bit 
of hard feeling, not a kicker on hand, and every man knew his 
business. I don't believe there ever was a nicer shoot held than 
this, and I am proud to have been on hand to see it. No doubt 
the newspapers have done a good deal to make this shoot a suc- 
cess, as they have kept it well before the public for some weeks. I 
like a good sporting shoot at live birds, with no targets to distract 
the attention of the shooters. We had the best men of the coutry 
here, and I only hope they are as well satisfied as I am."

Here is a letter from Vermont: Forest and Stream Publish- 
ing Co.: Gentlemen— Please send me by mail "The Trapper's 
Guide" as advertised in Forest and Stream. My father has 
taken that paper for over twenty years, and I read it every week, 
and enjoy it very much. Please send me a list of Forest and 
Stream books more complete than the one in the paper. I am 
twelve years old and am starting a library of hunting books.

The "brolcen shell extractor" recently devised and now manu- 
factured by the Idea! Mfg. Co,, of New Haven, Conn., appears 
to be an extremely useful article. It is one that the rifleman will 
not often need, but when he does want it he will need it very 
badly. The device has been tested arid used by most of the more 
important rifle manufacturing companies in the country, and haa 
received from' them strong indorsement^. It a pocket- instr»>
