Mr. J. A. R. Elliott is still suffering from a badly sprained 
thumb, the result of an attempt to fend off an individual on 
Broadway who seemed to think he was a horse responding to a 
fire alarm and therefore had the right of way over all traffic. Up 
to date there has been no public manifestation on the part of 
Mr. Brewer to accept Mr. Elliott's shooting propositions. A 
bluff is all right up to the time it is called. 
The Herron Hill Gun Club, of Pittsburg, Pa., has arranged three 
25-bird shoots, to take place respectively on Feb. 2 and 16 and

its handicaps as follows: Twentj'-five-yard men shot at 29 birds; 
26 and 27yd. men shot at 28 birds; 28yd. men shot at 27 birds; 
30yd. men shot at 25 birds.

Trap at Hot Springs. 
Hot Springs, Ark., Jan. 20. — Editor Forest and Stream: Bob 
Price, the undenied, tmdi.-^pulcd champion squad hustler of the 
United Slates and Porto Riro, is going to give a shoot at Hot 
Springs on 'Feb. 18, to ri:n a week. 
I blew into the Springs a.-i| night from Texas to take a bath, 
and the first man I met was Bob, and this is what he said: "Say, 
tell all them shooters to come down here ne.xt month. They 
need boiling out, anyhow. See what it does to Capt. Elliott. 
He trains here every winter, and then goes up and takes their 
coin away from tliem. just like they were children. If Charlie 
Budd and Tom Marshall and Fred Gilbert would stay down here 
for six months and bring E. S. Rice with them, they might be able 
to beat him, but tliat ain't what 1 was getting at. We — ^that's me, 
see? nobody ekse — are going to give a $1,000 added money, run 
four days, targets, ten events a day — three 20-bird and seven 5- 
bird events; Rose system, four moneys, and |25 added to each 
event. Ain't t!iat all right? Will we have a crowd? Well. I 
guess we will. The anviteur will get 25 cents each time he shoots 
of the 90 per ceiil. man's money, and $-50 added besides. 
"Then we — that's nic again — will have the Hot Springs Handi- 
cap, 25 birds, $15, birds e.xtra, high guns, one money for every two 
guns — ain't that right?- and lots of other events. 
"There will be a couple of good boxing matches that week, and 
a ball at the Arlington on Tuesday evening and one at the East- 
man on Saturday. Charley Budd has promised to come and bring 
his dress suit case. 
"The boys from Texas and Tennessee will be here to learn how 
to shoot. Bill Norman, of Greenville, learned well enough in one 
day to win the Hot Springs handicap two years ago, and, by the 
way, this shoot is a permanent thing, "rhe Whittington Park 
management is back of the tournament, and will give a big shoot 
every year. It is calculated to draw shooters from the North 
just about the right time, and no more delightful trip could be 
undertaken than this one to Hot Springs." 
That's what Bob Price said to me before I could get a word in 
pdgeways, and he means every word of it 
Programmes out next week. Write to him for one.

"Welch Defeats Money. 
.Tan. 22. — In the second contest between Mr. R. A. Welch and 
Harold Money, on the grounds of the Carteret Gun Club to-day, 
the former won, with quite a margin to spare. The conditions 
were such as to make a most trying test of skill. A high 7- o'clock 
wind, which would be in a direction from the shooter to about 
No. 4 or 5 trap, made very swift drivers, and the narrow 30yd. 
boundary made very quick shooting essential if good results were 
to be obtained. Each contestant stood at 30yds. The match was 
for $500 a side. Mr. Walker Breese Smith was referee. 
In the former contest, under the same conditions, they tied 
on 89. 
The birds wexe an exceptionally good lot. Under the exceptional 
conditions, 88 was a high score.

both men made some brilliant kills. The mce was a tie up to the 
21st rovmd, each having missed 2, when Presdergast shot a bird on 
the ground and had to shoot anothei-. This may have disconcerted 
him, f«r he missed the substitute bird, which was not a particu-
