Colorado State Shoot* 
Colorado Springs, Colo.— The thirteenth annual tournament, 
Feb. 22 and 23, of the Colorado State Fish and Game Protective 
Association was well supported. It was held under the auspices 
of the Colorado Springs Gun Club, at Bradmoor. About 20,000 
targets were thrown. It was considered as being the most success- 
ful shoot ever given by the Association. 
The high average for both days was won by Mr. John W. 
Garrett, the captain of the Colorado Springs Gun Club, he scoring 
310 out of a possible 340, a fraction over 91 per cent. 
The State individual championship, which was won by Mr. Gar- 
rett at Florence in November last, with a clean score of 50 out of 
50 birds, went this year to A. L. Bennett, of Pueblo, whose score 
was 46 out of 50. W. W. Shemwell and D. L. Macaffree tied for 
second honors in this match, their scores being 44 birds each. 
John Garrett, who was expected by local shots to win this prize, 
was very much out of form all Saturday afternoon, owing to the 
fact that for thirty-six hours he had had no sleep whatever. After 
finishing the shoot Friday, and making arrangements for yester- 
day's tournament, Mr. Garrett spent the early part of Friday night 
working on the score of the day, and then devoted an hour and a 
half to fighting fire at the club house, after which he walked in 
from the club house at Bradmoor to Colorado Springs and was so 
busy arranging for yesterday's shoot that he did not go to bed 
at all. . _ 
Had it not been for the prompt and long-continued efforts ot 
three men, fire would have destroyed the building and would have 
prevented the completition of the State shoot to-day. 
From 10:10 P. M. until midnight Charles Mann, John Garrett and 
one other man worked at extinguishing the flames. The means that 
they used was such as they had at hand, and it required the ex- 
ercise of a good deal of both muscle and brain to save the build- 
ing. The damage that did occur amounts to about $50, the building 
being fully protected bv insurance. 
The first fire started from the fireplace in the main room of the 
house. It burned through the wall, and when discovered had 
burned a place 2ft. by 1ft. in size out of the back of the building. 
There were in the club house two large milk cans filled with 
water and a third which contained two gallons of coffee. The 
water and the coffee were thrown upon the fire, but it did not suf- 
fice, and a further supply was needed. The only water connection 
in the building is a small pipe which furnishes water for the toilet 
room. "This is the only tap within three or four blocks of the 
building. The flow is steady and quite rapid. The discovery of the 
fire made quick action necessary, and Garrett and Mann were not 
long in deciding how to avail themselves of the water supply. The 
pipe was cut so that the water w»uld flow as rapidly as possible. 
The cut was made outside the building at a point not far distant 
from the blaze. A hole was dug in the ground, into which the 
water from the pipe would run, and the volunteer fire fighters 
took the milk cans and dipped the water from this hole to throw 
upon the fire. Had there been any wind the building would surely 
have gone, but the fight that was made to save it finally proved 
successful, and at midnight it was regarded as safe to leave the 
building. ' , . , , , 
Besides the two milk cans the men had a pickaxe, a shovel 
and a hatchet with which to fight the flames, and these were used 
with good effect. A hole about 10ft. wide and as high as the men 
could reach was cut in the back of the building. 
Had the flames not been conquered by the men who were there 
there would have been a decidedly interesting fire. There were in 
the building about forty shotguns and about 15,000 rounds of am- 
munition. . r , ^ , J

H* C Hifschy Live-Bird Trophy. 
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 22.-^The shoot for the Hirschy trophy 
yesterday was pulled off under rather adverse circumstances. The 
weather man turned on the cold wave valve and gave us a dose of 
condensed air that soon put the mercury down to 22; in fact the day 
was an ideal George Washington one in regard to figures— the 
thermometer showed 22 degrees below, the day of the month was 
the 22d, and the high score in the race was 22. 
The weather no doubt kept away a number, but those present 
had the pleasure of shooting at a class of birds that would be hard 
to duplicate. The management had gone to quite an additional 
expense to secure the best pigeons that were to be had in this 
section of the country, and to say that we succeeded is putting it 
mildhr. The birds were of that small, black variety that fly as 
though the old man himself was after them. 
In addition to the above there was a very_ strong northwest wind 
blowing across the traps that gave the birds a great start, and 
many of the scores will show that this wind also carried, or rather 
helped carry, these hard-hit birds out of bounds. 
French, in the race for the troph}% had things well in hand until 
the 19th round, when he caught on to those flying rings that he tells 
oi, and could not, or rather would not, let go. We never accuse 
this fellow of being troubled with a yellow streak, but I must 
admit that his complexion on this day (especially after the 19th 
round in the race) looked to me as though he was troubled with a 
severe case of jaundice. I trust that in the next e:vent of this kind 
lis will have fully recovered from this dreaded affliction. 
Hirschv thought he had discovered a new method of destroying 
pigeons In the Association book, and I fear that the "both barrels 
at once scheme" put him to the bad. Hirschy is of too small 
stature to stand a deal with 7drms. back of it. 
Some one cut the strings on Parker's balloon, and it is said in 
these parts that he lost something. 
Mulligan, a new shooter on these grounds, did very well, con- 
sidering that he has not shot at live birds in some ten or twelve 
years. 
Morrison come out of that trance? He said he would, but when 
you see him again it will no doubt be with that Winchester that 
has put so many of us to the bad. 
Kabo mav have been here to shoot, but I think he must have 
been thinking of something in Eau Claire, for the way he shot at 
his first 5 birds was something awful. From his 5th to his 25th he 
was himself again and made a' great many very pretty kills. Now 
iust to show you that he knows that he can beat that score he has 
challenged the winner, Kribbe, of Grand Rapids, this State. 
Kribbe, the winner of this trophy race, is a new one at live birds, 
and a good one. He was somewhat handicapped by the position 
he was in in this, as he was tie with the best shot in this neck of 
the woods, and wanted that cup pretty badly. His shooting was of 
high order, and he was called upon more than once to show what 
was in him. In the shoot-off with Parker and Hirschy, his 2d and 
.5th birds were corkers, and the way he put the second shot into 
those birds drew rounds of applause from the crowd as well as 
from the shooters: 
All I can say for Brown is that he digs up the coin lor this 
crowd, and they write after his name, "He also shot."

Hirschy knows that he can't shoot live birds, but he does think 
that he can shoot targets, so he made a race with Morrison for $5 
a corner at 15 targets. Look at the result:

Altoona Rod and Gun CIt*fa»I 
Altoona, Pa.— Trapshooting in midwinter, when the mercury is 
hugging the zero mark, the wind blowing a perfect gale, and at 
intervals a blinding snow veiling the targets, is not the most 
fascinating sport. Such were the conditions that confronted the 
Altoona Rod and Gun Club during its tournament of Feb. 22 and 
23. The fact that a warm house, with every convenience of a home, 
was within a few feet of the score helped matters considerably, but 
even at that the longer races were too much for some of the 
braves, and they packed their guns on the evening of the 22d and 
did not remain for the lOO-target handicap event of the 23d. 
The visiting shooters were Warren Smith, Osterburg, Pa.; J. A. 
Holderbaum, Cessna, Pa.; H. B. Runibaugh, Greensburg, Pa.: 
Robert Tash and Tustus Volk. South Fork, Pa.; C. Wenderoth, 
Cresson, Pa.; P. J. 'Trego, D. D. Stinc and L. B. Blair, Tyrone, Pa 
[. B. Holsinger, Henry Eichensehr and J. F. Nisley, TohnstMgn. 
Pa,; C. H. McFeeley, Hooversville, Pa.; R. S. Denniker, T^ISs- 
dale. Pa.; Leon Brownie, Abilene, Kan.; A. PL Fox, Baltimore, 
representing the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, of New 
Haven, Conn., and J. R. Hull, of Parker Brothers, Meriden, Conn. 
The shooters began to arrive on the afternoon of the 21st, an im- 
promptu live-bird sweep having been arranged for that date. The 
birds for this event did not arrive until too late in the day, and the 
latter part of the afternoon was devoted to target shooting. 
The following scores are very good ones, considering the weather

Mississippi Valley Notes. 
The Indians will shortly appear in a jaunty new shooting cos- 
tume, which is to distinguish the braves of that tribe at the score. 
There is a well-backed movement on foot to inaugurate a series 
of intercity live-bird team shoots between St. Louis and Cincin- 
nati. The arrangements are being quietly talked over by leading 
shooters 0/ both cities, and it is believed that, unlike the lately 
attempted match between St. Louis and Chicago, this enterprise 
will succeed. 
St. Louis is enjoying such a boom in trapshooting as the old 
Mound Cit}' has not experienced in many years. The semi-monlhly 
target and live-bird shoots arranged by Dave Elliott at Dupont 
Park attract from forty to fifty shooters every fair day, and the 
competition is close and spirited. If this keeps up — and there is 
no likelihood of a relapse — the coming Missouri State tourney will 
be the greatest shooting meet ever lield west of the Missiissippi 
River. 
The management of the Whittington Park Association, of Hot 
Springs, Ark., announces that another big midwinter shooting meet 
is to be held there next year. Capt. H. C. Price has chosen the 
dates already and claims the week of Feb. 17 to 22 for that event. 
The Magautrap Gun Club, of Alexis, 111., announces a one-day 
open target shoot, March 14. Two hundred targets will be thrown 
to the man, and $u is offered for the best score of the day. 
Messrs. W. T. Irwin and J. J. Sumpter were to have shot a match 
at 100 live birds on Feb. 26, but Mr. Irwin was called away from 
Hot Springs by a telegram announcing the death of a relative. 
The progromme for the annual meeting of the Illinois State 
Sportsmen's Association is in preparation and will be announced 
shortly. 
Another open match for the Dupont trophy will be held at Du- 
pont Park, St. Louis, April 10. 
Trap at Grand Island. 
Grand Island, Neb., Feb. 28.— On Washington's Birthday eleven 
members of the North Platte Gun Club, of North Platte, Neb., 
came to this city to engage in a live-bird contest with our boys. 
The weather was very cold, and a stiff wind blowing, which made 
it very bad for the contestants. Some very good work was done 
on both sides, and as the score was very close it was neither side's 
victory until very near the finish. , 
This is the third match these two teams have had, Grand Island 
winning all three. The first shoot took ptiice at Grand Island, 
score 110 to 104. The second at North Platte, score 123 to 112.
