Amefica vs* EnglancJ. 
Elsewhehe in our trap columns is published an interesting and 
gratifying letter from Mr. Paul North on a subject of lively interest 
to all trapshooters, and incidentally within the United States to 
all Americans. It goes without saying that a shooting contest 
engaged in by the best picked men of America against the best 
that England can produce is a national event. It should evoke the 
heartiest indorsement and support from the whole American 
people. There is no doubt but what it will do so. The great 
international events of the past— the great rifle, sculling, yachting 
and general athletic contests— were more than international events 
in tile interest evoked; they were world-wide in that respect. 
While Mr. North's letter modestly presents the main features 
of the matter, there is already a strong and substantial support 
of it. ^ 
As a result of Mr. North's energetic efforts concerning th,e in- 
ternational trapshooting contest, and at his instance, a meeting of 
gentlemen eminent in the realm of business and wholesome sport 
was held in New York on Wednesday of last week to take authori- 
tative action in this matter. A brief discussion developed the fact 
that much important preliminary work had already been accom- 
plished. It had already been determined that the personnel of the 
team would be eminent as to skill and good standing; that the 
prospective members had signified their willingness to join it, and 
on inquiry, that such men as were on salaries found that they 
could prearrange their business affairs readily to cover the time 
that they would be absent; that each member of the team would 
serve on it in his personal capacity — that is to say, he would not 
be a representative of any business interests whatever in his 
capacity as a member of the team. 
It was further decided that the team would be strictly repre- 
sentative of American skill and competitive ability; that it would 
be more truly representative of America if sent to England by ttie 
American people, rather than \iy any American organization, hence 
it was decided that the funds should be raised by popular sub- 
scription. 
Mr. North has been corresponding with the leading English 
sportsmen who are influential in trapshooting matters, and negotia- 
tions are so far advanced that a match is practically assured. 
In short, all the preliminaries, excepting the money for ex- 
penses, have been almost definitely arranged. 
in tlie great international competitions the representatives 
of America have often been victorious, and always admirable 
competitors. Such is a matter of sporting history. But in pro- 
moting the success of the team by furnishing the sinews of war, the 
venture has more than a team significance. It will promote a gen- 
eral national intei-est in acquiring skill with the gun— and how 
essentia] is such skill in times of national stress is embodied in 
the saying, "The man behind the gun," the import of which is 
known to every American and otliers. 
Grand Central Handicap 1 Tournament* 
Indianapolis, Ind.— This is the fourth time the shooters of this 
country have assembled for the purpose of holding a contest upon 
the beautiful and well equipped grounds of the Limited Gun Club. 
This shoot has become a fixture at this city, and is known and 
established as the Grand Central Handicap. The handicap refers 
to the 25-pigeon race, $25 entrance, and is shot the last day, there 
being usually one day of target shooting and one of sparrow 
sliooting and another of live-bird shooting. This vear the man- 
agement decided to use two days for targets and one for live 
birds. 
Opening Day, Feb. 13. 
Wednesday opened rather hazy, with a slight wind, and yet by 
the time the first gun had been fired the fleecy clouds were drift- 
ing away, and the shining sun was welcomed during the re- 
mainder of the day. The targets were thrown from a magautrap, 
and ow;ing to having a new head not properly adjusted and the 
pull being defective caused some provoking delays. Yet in E. H. 
Tripp and Bert Adams we found such excellent managers that 
there were very few if any murmurs of complaint. 
The tribe known as Indians were out in fairly good numbers, as 
no less than ten of them were seen to deposit funds with the 
cashier sufficient to shoot through the day. These first owners 
of the Indiana woods were somewhat crestfallen on account of the 
absent chiefs— Chas. W. Budd and Rolla Heikes— but it did not 
affect their shooting materially, as the scores will show. 
The visitors present were enrolled as follows: W. R, Crosby, 
O'Fallon, 111.; Jack Fanning, New York; Harvey Sconce, Sidell, 
111.; A. B. Conner, Pekin, 111:; Fred Gilbert, Spirit Lake, la.; 
Col. A. G. Courtney, New York: Eddie Bingham, Chicago; Guv 
Burnside, Knoxville, 111.; E. D. Fulford, Utica, N. Y.; Hon. Tom 
Marshall, Keithsburg, 111.; Ed Rike, Dayton, 0.; W. T. (Tramp) 
Irwin, Chicago; E. E. Apperson, Kokomo; E. C. Meredith, 
Muncie, Ind.; J. L. Head, Peru; Mr. Fort, Fostoria, O. 
Add to this list the members of the club here, such as E. H. 
"Tripp, T. H. Parry, Dr. O. F. Britton, J. W. Cooper, Paul Beck, 
Geo. Marott, Bert Adams and others, and you have a combination 
hard to beat. The almost continuous popping of guns was heard 
untU near sundown, and when the last gtm was fired some very 
wonderful scores were shown to have been made. 
Billy Crosby has not been at every shoot held lately, and some 
of the regulars were wondering what said Billy could be up to by 
stealing away, but they found out to-day, as after missing one 
each in the first two events he ran out straight, with the exception 
o* the twelfth event, where one more, by some sudden movement, 
evaded his unerring aim. This showed that Billy had been "prac- 
ticing in his backyard." The boys speak of him as being in a 
trance, but, call it what you may, the "saucers" were not only 
"cracked," but they were "smashed," and then the few re- 
maining pieces were ground into dust. 
I turn now to the amateurs. Look at the figures opposite Mr. 
Sconce's name; total missed, 6. Here is a farmer boy from 
Illinois who has a local reputation for "crockery" smashing that 
few can excel. Fanning made nine straight scores and had a "bad 
half hour" in two events that cut him down in the average. 
Gilbert, "the evil spirit of the lake," made four 15s and six 14s and 
four 13s, and thus fell below his former record made on these 
grounds. 
You have often read reports of shoots in which odd names were 
given to squads. Well, here is a new one. The first squad was 
designated by some one as the "Bald-faced" squad, as they were 
selected because they were smooth-faced, even to absence of 
mustache. They were good shooters, but not nearly so hand- 
some as the second squad, each being adorned with a flowing 
mustache, being no less than the well-known Courtney, Bing- 
ham, Burnside, Fulford and Marshall. You should see the 
ladies press forward when this squad was called to the score, and 
when a miss was scored there was often heard a sigh and an 
"Oh, too bad!" "So sorry," etc. 
The scores as follows:

Second Day, Thursday, Feb. 14. 
Morning dawned lovely, and the day was an ideal one for target 
shooting. There was just enough wind to blow the smoke away. 
There were several new faces seen to-day, but one was absent — 
that of Harvey Sconce, who was suddenly called home by the un- 
expected death of his uncle. The new men were such well-known 
personages as Ed Voris and Mac Still well, of Crawfordsvilie; Toe 
Bristain, of Lafayette; C. Stevens, of Moline, 111.; J. Hillis and"F. 
Hillis, of Washington, and Rolla Heikes, of Dayton. 
Everything passed off in a way to be a lasting Ijenefit to the Lim- 
ited Gun Club. The scores made were not quite so good as yes- 
terday. Crosby, though having made some wonderful scores in his, 
almost defeated himself, as out of 210 shots to-day only 6 were not 
scored dead. Jack Fanning came second, losing 11, closely followed 
by Conner, of Pekin. Ill,, who let but 14 get away. Gilbert was not 
up to form, and he let 17 hit the ground, lost. Then there was 
Ed Rike and J, L. Head next, closely followed by the Hon. Tom 
Marshall. 
The home members and friends came out to-day, and altogether 
exc were thirty-eight entries. To-night others are coming in, and 
I „ . , total scores

to-morrow more live-bird shooters are expected,

Following the regular programme a miss-and-out pigeon event 
was shot. There were eighteen entries, and seven men were tied on 
5 kills when darkness fell and caused a postponement. The contest 
will be finished this morning prior to the regular programme. The 
entrance was $2. 
Pigeon Day, Friday, Feb. J5, 
This being the great event from which the shoot takes its name, 
and as there are quite a few shooters who .shoot pigeons only this 
W'ay, the day brought together the old and the new shooters, and 
the number of entries ran up to twenty-nine. 
The day was a repetition of the past two, with the exception of 
a good breeze behind the birds that made many of them fast out- 
going. 
The new arrivals were H. J. Lyons and one of the Louisville 
surgeons who shot under the name of Gulp. Then Elmer Neal 
came down from Chicago, where he was detained by a law suit. 
These, with nine members of the home club narticipating, made 
up a very large entry for such an event. 
The shoot was advertised as usual to start at 9 o'clock sharp, but 
as the shooters do not get out early the first gun was not fired 
until about 10 o'clock, and then all were not present. 
The shooters were handicapped on a scale running from 26 to 
31yds., the committee being E. H. Tripp and Rolla Heikes; and 
as is customary with those on the committee they generally place 
themselves at the limit, so Heikes stood at 31, along with Fanning, 
Gilbert and Crosby, while Tripp took the 30yd. peg. There were 
five at 27, eight at 28, five at 29, and six at 30, and the above-named 
at 31. 
As Tom Marshall was known to have not fully recovered from 
his lame arm, he was put on the 30yd. line, and he, Heikes, Gilbert 
and Crosby went out with clean scores. 
This is the first time m my knowledge of handicap shooting 
that the scratch men were all the winners. It was discovered be- 
fore the match was over that Crosby was shooting the pigeons 
much as he did targets, while Heikes was shooting much better, 
and so was Gilbert and Marshall. 
On the first round all killed except Voris, Parrv and Fanning, 
and thus two good men were shy. The second round Burnside 
and Bingham each lost out of bounds. The total column will 
show some startling results — some poor and some excellent scores. 
Take that of E. H. Tripp, who shot out of the money after killing 
9 straight; but he had plentjr of company, for in his hole landed 
four others, viz., Theodore, Comstock, Burnside and the Tramp. 
I fancy some of the best shooting was done by Harry Lyons, of 
Louisville, though he lost 2; yet he showed the best of judgment 
in waiting on those birds that made twisting movements. 
Another very excellent score was that of Mr. Lilly. He made 
some wonderful second barrel kills. 
Then Heikes, Gilbert and Crosby grassed their birds in such 
short_ order as to cause the retrieving dogs little trouble, as most 
all of them fell within a few feet of the traps, and had not Bing- 
ham's bird carried out his well placed load of shot he would have 
been with the push. Mr. Head, who won here last year, and has 
now the record of losing but 1 out of 70 shot at on these grounds, 
had a fast towering bird go beyond the flags, but that was the only 
one that was not put in the game bag. 
Paul Beck had everything going smoothly up to the twentieth 
round, when he failed on this, and the twenty-first, then killed out 
straight. 
One of the new shooters, and the last man to enter, was C. 
Fort, of Fostoria, O., and he showed that he is no novice, and by 
using the gun that twice won the Grand American Handicap 
accounted for all but 1 of the 25. 
Thus it will be seen that the moneys were about evenly divided, 
and never in the history of these shoots have the scores been so 
large. First year only one straight, that of Jack Fanning, was 
made. Second year there was only McMiu-chy able to account for 
all of them, and only Heikes in 24 place, while last year only Neal 
and Head went straight, and Gilbert was alone with 24. 
The birds trapped to-day were rather on the mixed order. Some 
were extremely fast, some slow, and others medium. There were 
few "no birds." Altogether they were a good lot of cooped 
birds. 
I may mention that Tramp Irwin shot in hard luck. Three 
dead out is unfortunate for any one. He made more one barrel 
kills than any one of the shooters, yet fell by the wayside, and 
out of the money, but he had company. Tramp is too old in the 
business to get discouraged, and last seen of him here he was 
pacing up getting ready to go to Hot Springs to "boil out." 
Tramp Irwin reports haying a grudge against one of the best- 
known shooters of this city. He says it was all Dr. Britton's 
fault that he has been a shooter and followed it up, as about 
twenty-eight years ago the doctor sold him his first breechloading 
shotgun, a Parker hammerless. Tramp says that cost him 
much money, but he has had a lot of fun. 
The conditions were 25 pigeons, $25 entrance; no additional 
charge for birds. Purse divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. Ameri- 
can Association rules to_ govern. Distance handicap, rise 26 to 31yds. 
Entries to close with firing of first gun on second round, unless 
unanimously extended. The scores:

.\s a medal event, with the race to the winner of first, the ties 
were shot off miss-and-out, so Rolla Heikes was called up, and the 
fun commenced. All the spectators pushed to the front, and now 
the interest was intense. Crosby was early the choice, as his great 
shooting had indicated. . 
Heikes got a fast bird that was unkillable, and he says it could 
not be stopped with shot and powder and the best gun on earth, 
and Roll knows, as he has seen a pigeon or two fly m his time. 
Gilbert and the Hon. Tom and Crosby started off and killed and 
killed until it began to look like a case of tenting tor the night. 
Gilbert shot a careful, one-barrel race, only using the second 
barrel when absolutely necessary— he was shy on shells, and so was 
Crosbv. All went along lovely up to the thirteenth bird, and when 
he killed his thirteentli he pulled his jackrabbit foot and yelled, 
"Thirteen!", when Crosby and Maphall went up in the air, as 
they were then and there "hoodooed. ' And didn't Gilbert laugh! 
Oh, how Fred will enjoy telling that young Tom Marshall Gilbert 
at home how he come it over tlie Hon. Tom Marshall and Billy 
*"'Following this was a miss-and-out for $5 each. Seventeen men 
had entered for a 7-bird race, but as the sun was then down 
only a miss-and-out could be shot. It was ten chances to one that 
it would be a miss-and-out, as a dark bird could not be seen. 
When it came to the seventh round, there being but Gilbert, Iripp 
and Fanning in, it was divided, and there was a scamper and 
hurried packing of guns to get away for the cars and hotel. 
Thus closed the most successful shoot of the kind ever held here.

Feb. 12.— The Lincoln's Birthday clay-bird shoot of the Ossining 
Gun Club came off as sceduled. While the attendance was not 
large, considerable fun was on tap, as some spirited sweeps were 
shot. Tallman, of South Millbrook, carried off most of the firsts, 
in which there was more honor than cash. We intend to make 
a special effort to make the holiday shoot of the 22d inst. — 
live birds and clay pigeons— of especial interest:
