Milwaukee March 6.— The long-talked-of match at live birds 
between the National Gun Club, of Milwaukee, and tlie Garden 
City Gun Club, of Chicago, took place at National Park, Milwaukee, 
on March 2, and was one of the most interesting events in live- 
bird shooting had in Milwaukee in some time. 
There were fifteen men on each side, and each shot at 15 birds. 
From the time this match was 6rst talked of, nearly a year 
ago, the Milwatikce shooters seemed reticent to undertake any- 
thing of the kind, knowing that the Garden City Club possessed 
some of the best marksmen in the country, and that ten or twelve 
of them were better than 90 per cent, men, so that the Nationals 
went into the match feeling that the chances were against them. 
Chicago was tmfortunate in not being able to send all of her best 
men. Milwaukee was also unfortunate in not being able to produce 
all of the men that were expected to shoot on the team, yet the 
Nationals were on their mettle from start to finish, as will appear 
from the score, no man on the team falling below 10 birds out of 
the possible 15, and three men making straight scores — Rogers, 
Crane and Williamson killing all of the birds. 
It may seem a hard thing for the Nationals to treat their com- 
pany in such a manner, but it was birds we were after from start 
to finish. 
Chicago took their defeat good-naturedly, as every man who 
came here — not alone the shooters, but the visitors — was a gentle- 
man, and knew how to take defeat, although it is something un- 
common with them. 
It is understood that a return match will be shot at Chicago 
very soon, and Chicago has the same privileges to do up the 
Nationals at that time. 
It is possible that there may be some changes made in the 
makeup of the respective teams, each endeavoring to strengthen 
weak points, if there are any, but it will be substantially the same 
as the one at Milwaukee. Should the Nationals be defeated at 
Chicago, then it is proposed that a third match be shot on some 
neutral groimds — prabalDly at Racine. The Nationals propose to 
do their best, so that a third match will not be necessary.

Intercity Shooting Park. 
Minneapolis, Minn.— The shoot for the Hirschy trophy, on the 
grounds of the Intercity Shooting Park, on the 2d inst., was the 
largest event of the year, the number of entries being si.xteen. 
The trophy was brought into competition by Fish, of Eau Claire, 
challenging A. H. Kribbe, of Grand Rapids, Minn. This crowd 
from Itasca county seem to have the proper thing tucked up their 
sleeves Ed Bergen winning out in the race to-day. The shoot 
began at 1:30, and at the end of the 16th round it was decided to 
postpone the race until the following day at 10:30 A. M. Three 
of the shooters could not stay over, so were permitted to shoot 
out. This sort of thing sjiould never be permitted, as it is bound 
to give some one the worst of the deal. 
When the shooters reached the grounds on the following morn- 
ing ihey discovered that they were up against the real thing, as 
there was a gale blowing across the traps. The shooting on this 
day was of the very hardest; some of the birds that were killed 
in good time would be carried out by_ the wind. „^ „ 
"Hie good thing about the race lies m the fact that Ed Sergen, 
of Grand Rapids, Minn., who won the trophy, had never shot at 
live birds from a trap before; in fact he never saw a bird trapped 
until a half hour before the race. His shooting was of the very 
best, some of his second barrel kills being exceptionally good. 
Fish, of Eau Claire (Kabo), made some very good kills, this 
being especially true of his 10th and 21st birds. Bull was center- 
ing his better than any of the shooters; his 21st and 24th were 
corkers, both falling dead out. Parker missed a very easy one, 
his 24th. The wind was too strong for Hirschy; he has not the 
proper kind of steering gear for shooting in a gale. The balance 
of the bunch also ran. 
The next race for this cup will be pulled off at Grand Rapids, 
Minn. I will make mention of the dates as soon as I can positively.

Saturday, March 9. 
The weather was cloudy and foggy, with a stiff fiuky wind 
blowing during the continuous match. In the afternoon the wind 
subsided, the thin fog made a good background, and the con- 
testants began to smash targets in earnest. Jack Fanning made 
a run of 114, which looked like the pinnacle of the day, but Fred 
Gilbert joined in the running and punched out 139, which proved 
sufficient unto the day. In the championship shooting event 
Crosby, Fanning and Banks tied on 99, The scores:

Friday, Feb. 15.— The contest for the seventh triennial cham- 
pionship has occupied the best part of this week, and has brought 
together more competitors than the Grand Prix du Casino, though' 
this was due to the fact that none of the English competed for the 
Jatter. Ihere were only eighty-three competitors for that, as 
against ninety-three on the present occasion, and as will be seen, 
the .linglish had the finish to themselves. The intention was that 
the contest should be concluded in two days, but this never seemed 
probable, as at the close of the first afternoon's shooting only four 
rounds out of twenty-five had been completed. With a strong wind 
blowing on the second day, rather more progress was made, but for 
all that the contest was a long way from being finished. It is 
true that only three— Messrs. Beresford, Robinson and M. Faure— 
had Killed all their 8 birds, but seventeen others had accounted for 
7 out of 8, while nineteen more had missed only 2. The shooting 
on the second day was, however, a pretty clear indication as to how 
It would end, for while Mr. Beresford, after two successive misses, 
made 12 successive kills, and won first prize with 23 out of 25, 
Mr. Robinson found himself on a level with Mr. Mackintosh and 
•'^f'';,^^ himself, had accounted for 22 out 
of 25. Mr. Harold Barker, Mr. Watson, Mr. Chase, Mr Hannam 
Capt. Fielden, Mr, Hill and the Hon. F. Erskine also did credit to 
the English division, and it was eminently satisfactory that 
Messrs. Robinson and Mackintosh, who had behaved so well in 
regard to shooting, or, rather, not shooting, for the Prix du 
Casino, should have had their reward by sharing the place money 
with Mr. Vernon Barker, who also shot in good form. Of the six 
previous winners of this important prize, Mr, W. Blake, 1889, and 
Signor Galetti, 1892, were alone in the field, the former not being 
able to get beyond the seventh round, as he had made 5 misses to 
2 kills, while the Italian, though he made a better score than this, 
had to retire in the twelfth round. Another veteran of the Monte 
Carlo stand, Signor Guidicini, the only man who has won the 
Grand Prix du Casino three times, was in the field, but he did 
not kill more than 3 birds, and he has not been shooting in his 
customary form this season. Scores:

East Amon boasts a new trapshooting club, self styled the 
Novices, the members of which expect to do regular practice 
work during the ensuing season. The first meet was held on the 
afternoon of March 3, and while the scores in the main will befit 
the club name, the degree of enthusiasm manifested is shown, 
however, in the number of participants, there being just thirty 
entries. The programme consisted of 60 targets per man, shot in 
blocks of 5, with the exception that events 9 and 10 consisted of 
5 pairs doubles. Summary follows:
