[March 1901. 
WESTERN TRAPS. 
Chicago, 111., March 5.— No one can be found in Chicago who 
knows anything about the team race of last Saturday at Milwaukee 
between Garden City Gun Club, of this city, and the National 
Gun Club, of Milwaukee. The Cream Citv boys only beat the 
Chicago representatives IS birds. One or two men on the Chicago 
tesm fell down very hard, and it was an easv thing for Milwaukee 
all along the line. The team total, fifteen men, each 15 live birds, 
stood, Garden City 172, National Gun Club 190. There has been 
so much talk about this race, and it has been pulled off after so 
many difficulties, that it is to be regretted that the finish was no 
closer. 
Anglo-American Team Race. 
Subscription books have been opened in Chicago for the fund 
t.o send an American team of trapshooters to England. One such 
book is placed at the booth of Montgomery Ward & Co. at the 
sportsmen's show. A few contributions have been received, and it 
is to be hoped that the outcome of this experiment will be satis- 
factory. Capt. Tom. Marshall was in town this week and spent 
considerable time at the show. He did not care to express himself 
definitely as to the probability of success in the team arrangements 
but was optimistic, as usual. ■ ' 
Illinois State Association. 
President Van Cleave, of the State Association,- has appointed 
his committees, including one on pulblicity and promotion, the 
latter including representatives of the sporting press, v,'ith Mr. 
John E. Vaughn, of the State Journal, Springfield, and Mr. M. 
D. Hurle3', of the Peoria Star. 
George Roll Looses the Race. 
George Roll, the well-known Chicago trapshooter, caught a 
burglar at his house Tuesday evening, chased him down the porch 
pillar, and some distance up the street. He likewise fired a few 
shots at him, but failed- to score, and lost the race as well as $210. 
Grand Rapids Shoot. 
March 9.— Away up at Grand Rapids, Minn., which is a splendid 
place to go if one wants a moose or muscallunge, they go in for 
trapshooting as ardently as they do anywhere, and the local 
club bears the significant name of the Itasca gun. The Itasca 
Gun Club will hold a rattling good shoot at live birds and targets 
March 16-17, the second day being devoted to targets altogether. 
The attractive part of the programme will be the race for the 
Hirschy trophy, emblematic of the championship of the North- 
west, at 25 live birds, ?10, birds extra. The target programme 
will consist of ten events of 15 birds each, $1.50. The club has 
added §60 for averages in the target programme. 
Shooters of the Twin Cities who wish to make this trip are 
referred to W. P. Brown for railroad rates, which will be at a 
good reduction. 
The committee on arrangements have planned a good time for 
the shooters, and assure the best time ever had at any shoot of this 
kind. 
The hotel accommodations are equal to the best in the State. 
"What more do you want?" asks A. E. Kribs, Sec'y. 
Peters Amateur at Asheville. 
The programme of the amateur tournament of the Peters Car- 
tridge Companjf, at Asheville, N. C, is one of the prettiest pieces 
of book making one is apt to see. A beautiful picture of the 
valley of the French Broad River is shown, along with a bit of the 
Savannah River, and there is art illustration of the Biltmore palace 
of George Vanderbilt. This latter, I presume, is simply thrown 
in to show the kind of house that everj' amateur trapshooter may 
hope to own some time, if he is industrious enough. The pro- 
gramme indicates magautrap, Rose system, $300 added, targets 
2 cents, and manufacturers' agents entered for price of targets 
only. Asheville is a nice place to go to, and it is worth the price 
of admission to see the kind of house you can have if you are 
industrious. 
Calumet Heights Club. 
Calumet Heights Club held its annual meeting at the Sherman 
House, March 6, and elected the following officers: President, 
Gcorg* S. Haskell; Vice-President, James R. Bruner; Secretary 
and Treasurer, Walter Metcalfe; Directors, E. H. Gold, A. VV. 
Harlan, J. H. Morgan and A. E. Coon. The club will hold weekly 
target contests during the summer and occasional live-bird events,

Watson's Park, Burnside Crossing, 111., March 9. — There were

Boston G«n Qub* 
Boston, March 6.— At the Boston Gun Club's eighth serial prize 
shcot on their grounds at Wellington to-day it Was unanimously 
decided that whoever had the trapshooting fever enough to come 
out to-day was indeed a great friend of the sport. Overhead it 
was all that could be desired, but the wind at times, though not 
as strong as at previous shoots, rendered some of the birds im- 
possible breaks. Woodruff was a welcome visitor, it being his 
fiist appearance on the grounds in the present series. Although 
just now getting used to a new gun and loads, he handled it well, and 
It certainly looks as though when thoroughly used to it the 
number of breaks will be well up on his side of the ledger, as in 
former series. Spencer secured high score in the prize match 
with 25, though the redoubtable Baker pushed him to the limit, 
forcing him to a straight score in the end to gain the coveted 
position.

Stearns vs. Hammond. 
RiCHMOKD, Va., March 7.— Mr. W. A, Hammond and Franklin 
Stearns faced the traps yesterday evening at Broad Street Ball 
Park, in two live-pigeon races of 100 birds each. The first was for 
the State live-bird medal, which has been successfully held by 
Mr. Hammond for some time. A number of the boys "both from 
this city and elsewhere through the State have endeavored to win 
this medal from Mr. Hammond, but up to this time without suc- 
cess. The day was perfect, and the birds took wing at the fall of 
the traps. Mr. Hammond shot in good form, but drew some 
corkers, v.hich preferred to get outside the boundary before stop- 
ping. In the race for the city medal he made some "excellent kills 
with his first barrel. 
Mr. Stearns also shot in good form, and seemed to catch his 
birds quick and in the center of the charge. In the match for 
the State medal he made a run of 24 straight. 
The match for the city medal was a tie, and will be shot off on 
March 13. 
Tlie birds were a good strong lot. Referee, T. M. Tignor. 
Scorer, Mr. Odell.

Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
S'iN Francisco, March 3.— Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club en- 
joyed the most beautiful day of the year. Lots of shooters were on 
ha'nd and much shooting and good work was done by the 
voupger element. Barley, Hoadley and Mannel each beat their 
rifle records. Hoffman "took first honors, with Mannel close on 
his heels. The light was too bright for the best work. Young 
carght 36 on his first score, with pistol, making best group 
('Sloin.') ever made in club on clean targets. Hovey was close 
behind with 38. showing that the old shots are yet in the swim. 
Both Hovey and Young had but- one shot out of the 5 ring, thus 
losin-' the much-coveted Cosgrove medal, which was m their 
gra^p but for one shot. Dorrell has been sick, but put up a 
pood 22 score, and Capt. Kuhnle changed to a .?l run-fire an^ 
could not shoot as well as with the Winchester, .22-7-45. and usinK 
Peters cartridges for that rifle. 
„.Aniong the many visitors was Mr. C. C. Ford, of the Denver 
Kitie Club, who enjoyed the sport keenly.

Rifle at Shell Mound. 
San Francisco, March 4. — Yesterday was an idea J day, and the 
rifle ranges were crowded. The chief event at Shell Mound was 
the annual opening of the park for picnic purposes. About 5,000 
people were present. A few days ago the main dancing pavilion 
was destroyed by fire; yet, notwithstanding, dancing space was 
accorded the visitors. The riflemen were busy all day, as the 
North German club held a public shoot. The main event was the 
man target contest at 200yds. F. P. Schuster won first prize with 
77 out of a possible 80. 
At Schuetzen Park the regular club shoots were held, but no 
scores of special note were made. The rifleman's atmosphere is 
full of buzz and stir, as the approaching Schuetzen Bund festival 
is not far away. ROEEI.,

Yachtsmen who have known the discom.fort of leaky decks and 
bulkheads will be interested in a waterproof glue recently put on 
the market by the Casein Company of America. This glue can 
also be used to advantage in hollow spars, and in applying canvas 
to boats' decks and bottoms. 
Elsewhere in these columns will be found the announcement

motors, descriptive circular of which he will be pleased to send
