Dec. 22. — The annual live-bird championship shoot of ' the Mt. 
Penn Gun Club, of this city, was held to-day on the shooting 
grounds at Stoney Creek, and was won by Albert Yeager, who 
killed 12 out of his 15 birds. Chick, Dietrich, Osborn, Sparley and 
Fair tied for second place with 11 each to their credit; Shultz and 
Shell with 10 scored tied for third place. For second prize there 
were 200 hand-loaded shells, donated by the club, while 100 of the 
same kind of shells were offered for third prize. As the supply 
of birds became exhausted, the ties could not be shot off, so it 
was decided to divide the shells. The birds were a fast lot of old 
country birds, and better birds were never trapped in this vicinity. 
Arthur Fink, of Reading, officiated as referee, whDe Chas. Brown, 
the club's official scorer, and Irwin Seaman had charge of the 
score. The score follows: 
Mt. Penn Gun Club's live-bird^ championship, for the club's 
live-bird championship medal; 15 birds per man, 28yds. rise, 50yds.

Elliott Holiday Shoot. 
AiS Forest' and Stream went to press on iVIonday, one day 
earlier than usual, last week, the report of the Saturday shoot 
could not reach you in time for the last issue. I now call your 
attention to it, as it was an important event, and especially since 
all shooters might find it to their interest to look well into the 
handicap used, which is known at Kansas City as the Riley 
handicap. It is not hard to understand, being one in which the 
shooter handicaps himself after the starting point. If he kills 5 
birds straight at any given point he then moves back 1yd., etc. 
Saturday, Last Day, Dec. 29. 
It was expected that a large number of shooters would put in 
their appearance and enter for this handicap shoot. The morning 
opened up bright, with plenty of southwest wind and a prospect 
of such birds as no one could make a- straight score. Yet the 
shooters were all tardy in getting out, and did not seem anxious 
to unpack their guns. 
The park manager, R. S. Elliott, was feeling very confident 
that "no straight" goes to-day. He was delighted with the wind 
behind the birds, and no one knew so well as he that 500 of his 
very best birds had been cooped. Just to show the confidence 
that Bob has in his birds, traps and grounds, and by way of an 
inducement he made an announcement on Friday evening that 
to any lucky shooter ■who would kill 25 straight he would present 
a $5 hat. , 
The morning was passing away without a gun being fired. What 
few were present were telling what they had done in days gone 
by, and Elliott, while disappointed at the tardy shooters, men- 
tioned that a big crowd would come out about noon. They could 
see that they "were up against another man's game," and finally 
.some one proposed a %1 miss-and-out. Robert agreed, and seven 
ejitries were made. Stevens, Crosby, Norton and 'iramp Irwin 
mp.de clean scores of 9 each, and said Robert was willing to call 
this little preliminary off and start the big shoot, Mr. Cockrell, in 
the mean time, fell down on the second bird, and that genial 
fellow, Budd, followed suit. Then Jim Elliott, known the 
world over as a shooter, stubbed his toe on the very first bird. 
Mr, Dunn grassed one, and then the next Qne was "over the fence 
and out," The score: 
Stephens 222222222—9 Elliott 0 
Cockrell 20 Norton 222222221—9

-IS 
You will understand where each contestant started by figures 
frflpwing immediately after the names, and by dividing the scores 
into strings of 5 it will no doubt interest all to see the move- 
ments of the shooters, and also see just where they finished, as 
we take it that this Riley handicap is new to all save the 
Kansas City shooters, it not having been adopted by any other 
club that I know of. 
It was at 11:30 when the now "Daddy of all of thenr," J, A, R. 
Elliott, stood up at the 30yd. mark and said, "Ready," grassing 
his first bird with one barrel, and the great race was on. Then Budd, 
Crosby, Norton and Cockrell did likewise, and when the first 
string had been shot hy this squad of five, and only one bird had 
been missed, the shooters began to think a straight possible. The 
second squad did not have any of the crackerjacks in it, yet only 
Mr. Beach had the misfortune to lose a bird. 
As the business men of the city could not get out until about 
2 P. M,, these two squads shot up to the 15-bird mark and thfen 
went to lunch. 
If Mr. Elliott had any inward feelings as to getting the worst of 
the hat bargain he did not look it, and offered then, with four 
nien straight — his brother Jim being one of them — ^to wager $25 
that a straight would not be made. Your correspondent, with 
his. eagle eye ever open, detected the boys changing tlie birds in 
the pit, and really 1 thought the hats were off, so far as these 
shooters being able to wear one on Bob, Please note that start- 
ing on the 16th bird J, A, R, would be at the 33yd, limit, Budd 
at 32, Cockrell and the L. & R, Tramp at 31, with the last three 
going back 1yd. should they make another straight. 
After lunch Allen, O'Brien, Curtice and Smith entered and shot 
up. This brought Mr, O'Brien, a new shooter from Kansas, into 
prominence as a candidate for a hat. 
Then the race for the finish was begun, and closed with the 
20th bird being in the "game sack" — as Fred Gilbert calls them — 
to the credit of Elliott, Cockrell, Tramp and O'Brien, Budd only 
of the possible having gone amiss on a bird that walked quarter- 
ing in and then sprang, and swinging, evaded his big loads as 
sent from both barrels. The three left had 5 more to shoot, Elliott 
at S3, Tramp at 32, and O'Brien at 31, and they were not slow 
in telling the manager something about the size of their old hats, etc. 
It is nothing tmusual for successful people to be elated, and the 
last two named were inclined to remark that should Jim go out 
straight and they should tie the "professional" they would 
require one full-size larger than usual. 
Strange as it may look on paper, these three men were as well 
distributed as to positions as they could be — Elliott first. Tramp 
seventh, O'Brien twelfth— one in each squad. 
Champion Jim drew some screamers — at least 3 of his 5 needed 
the full contents of the second barrel to get them down in the 
boundary, yet they fell one after another as their turn came, until 
the last one was an easy incomer, and the hat was on Robert, 
but to be on Jim, .so soon as he could get to the city. 
The next interest was of course on Tramp,' the oldest shooter 
on the grounds, who took his first lessons in Kansas more than 
twenty-five year,s ago. As it was known that he had shot in sev- 
eral handicaps in the last few years and never made a straight, 
most of the knowing ones had doubts about any more hats being 
necessary; but this time was the exception, and at the end of this 
squad, another hat was the proper thing. Trasnp made some 
long kills on fast birds; his g4th escaped the first and went 
away fast to the ri^ht quarter, to be saved by the second. Then 
came the last, which, liicky for him, was an incomer, and he 
centered it with the first barrel. He had the satisfaction of being 
warmly congratulated by his many old friends present. 
Two hats being won, it was up to Mr. O'Brien, and that gentle- 
man went on killing bird after bird as his turn came around and 
then pumping another barrel into them just to make them lay 
quiet and not give the dog any trouble, which, by the way. was 
getting very tired and worn out, I never met this gentleman 
before, and he says that, while he is a good target shot, he has 
faced live-bird traps but a few times. Let me tell you he has 
the right stuff" in hirh to make a pigeon shooter. Get rattled? 
Not much, and Bob Elliott just took that pencil of his and 
says, "I take my hat off to you, Mr. O'Brfien, and here's an order 
for a hat that you will not be ashamed to remove from your head 
when you meet the belles of the Sunflower State.'-' 
I must not forget the 24-men, for they struggled hard and shot 
well. Had it not been for their "bad half hour," they would be 
wearing Elliott hats. Budd, Norton and Cockrell would each 
give a $5 hat, I fancy, to shoot at that one bird again. They 
were not so far behind in cash, as the money was divided on the 
Rose system. 
In the 23-hole you will find Billy Crosby. You all know that 
two of the unkillable kind came to his draw, else he would not be 
hatless. Please look at his score and note that, st-arting at 30yds., 
he shot his last 20 birds from the 31yd. line, and' was at the finish 
1yd. ahead of Tramp Irwin and on' the .same line with O'Brien, who 
started at the 27yds. line. 
Mi-, Curtice, a Kansas City man, being well used to this sliding 
handicap, shot a fine race, losing but two, his 2d and his 9th. 
This enabled him to shoot his first 15 all from the 29yd. line; then 
he went straight, finishing at the Blvd. mark. 
Walter Allfcn had a "hard luck" story, killing 17 straight, then 
losing 3 before the end came. He is one of the best shots in the 
West, as look at his starting point— the same as Budd's, Then, 
there are Herman and Cockrell; each lost 3 out of his last 8, 
«'hile Smith lost 5 out of his last 11. Then Beach, a very good 
shot, a 28yd. man, lost 3 out of his last 11, while Mr, Stephens, 
after killing 7 straight, lost 4 out of his next 7 and withdrew. 
^ Please consider that these three last named gentlemen, save 
Stephens, have been shooting these 25-bird-handiep races here 
every month for a year, and are well used to the grounds and 
the towering birds, and yet lost. This will enable the reader to 
have a fair concejjtion of what this prince of good fellows. Bob 
Elliott was doing in tlie way of trapping selected birds. 
Mr. Elliott was, I think, disappointed that so few home shooters 
came out, yet he now sees that holidays and closing the old year 
and beginning a new one is not the most suitable time for a shoot, 
and will select some time in next January for his midwinter shoot. 
The chances are that a new park will have been selected by 
that ■ time, one in which there will not be so many climbing- 
birds, and possibly faster ones,. 
The boys Ihink that a new hat would look well next year, and 
will no doubt all return here whenever Robert sends 'them an 
invitation. . _ ...

Kansajs City, Dec. 29,— The Bob Elliott holiday shooting tourna- 
ment opened at Washington Park, Wednesday, and continued 
throughout the week, closing to-day with a 25-bird sweepstakes. 
The feature of the opening day was the final shoot for the- -Elliott 
diamond medals, representing the local championships at both 
live birds and inanimate targets. The interest in the "mud pie" 
race was completely overshadowed by the wingshot contest, Kansas 
City being essentially a live-bird town. There were twelve con- 
testants in the live-bird race, a 25-bird event, the winners of the 
respective monthly shoots during 1900 meeting to shoot off for 
absolute possession of the trophies. Chris Gottlieb won the shoot- 
off, being the only one to kill his 25 straight, and his excellent 
work was all the more creditable from the fact that he had a heavy 
handicap to overcome. He started in the race at 30yds., and after 
grassing 5 straight dropped back a yard. Still killing his birds, be 
was sent back another yard, after the 10th bird. The third block 
of 5 he killed from the 32yd. rnark, and the last 10 birds from the 
33yd. mark, the outside hmit, Jim Porter and Tom Heam were 
his nearest competitors, with 23 each. The scores:

Elliott vs. Crosby. 
On Thursday, J. A. R. Elliott successfully defended the Cast 
lion medal against William R. Crosby, of O Fallon, 111., winning 
the match by a score of 96 to 91. W. V. Rieger acted as referee 
and James Whitfield as scorer. The day was cold and raw, and 
the birds a particularly fast lot, not over two or three being "no- 
birded," and they had been injured in the traps. The wind was 
blowing stiffly northeast, which was toward the score, and the 
incomers had to be centered to keep them from being carried out 
over the boundary, Elliott was suffering from a crippled knee, 
but he shot a hard race, centering his birds generalljf viith the 
first barrel. Crosby, on the other hand, did not appear in good 
form, and did considerable slobbering, Crosby was the first to 
miss, losing his 6th bird, which he overshot with both barrels, 
fie settled down for a run of 26, after that, and as Elliott had lost 
his 2Sth dead out of bounds, honors were easy at that stage. Crosby 
lost his 33d dead out, and lost 4 more before the half was reached, 
Elliott was shooting steady, and at the 50th round had a lead of 
5 birds, and the match was practically ended, except for the cheers 
at the end. Each killed 47 out of the last 50. There was no 
apparent advantage in the drawing of the bfras, and both made 
some remarkably long kills with the secona oarrel, Crosby used 
his L, C. Smith gun, 7-13, and his loads were 4Sgrs, E C powder 
in Leader shells in both barrels, with l%oz. of No. 7% shot in 
the first barrel and No, 7 in the second. Elliott shot his 
Winchester repeating gun, 7%lbs,, and his loads were 45grs. of 
Hazard Blue Ribbon, with l^oz. No. 7 shot in Leader shells. 
The race was shot in an hour and eight minutes — pretty rapid 
trapping for a 200-bird event,

Ossining G«n Club. 
SiNQ Sing, N. Y., Jan. 1.— The New Year's Day shoot of the 
Ossining Gun Club was most successful in every way. The 
members, as well as a number of outside shooters, supported the 
shoot very liberally. During the day 74 live birds and 2,000 clays 
were trapped. 
The best shooting was done by 1. Tallman. The light was bad 
and the grounds hard, but he managed to get his last 40 straight. 
Event No, 2 at live birds was cut down, as there were not 
enough birds to fill out the whole entry. Some of the shooters 
who bad entered for birds only very kindly withdrew on the 4th 
bird to allow those who entered in the sweep to finish their 
scores. The birds were a fast lot. There were but 3 sitters in the 
74. '

Harrisfaorg Shooting Association. 
Harrisbukg, Pa., Jan, 7,— Tuesday, Jan. 1, found a large -crowd 
ot shooters from the surrounding towns of Lancaster, Rea'ding, 
bteelton, Chambersburg and Lebanon to take advantage of the 
popul.nr annual New Year's holiday live-bird shoot of the As- 
sociation. Having increased yearly, it became necessary this 
year to run two sets of traps and commence shortly after noon 
and continue until dark. 
Conway, of this city, surprised them all bv scoring 19 straight 
after losing liis first bird. A strong wind was blowing, and the 
birds of first-class quality. The shooting was difficult for the
