WESTERN TRAPS, 
Spirit Lake Shoot. 
Chicago, 111., March 36.— Russell Klein and John Burmeister 
claim April 23, 24 and 25 for their third annual target tournament at 
Spirit Lake, la. There will be seven 15-target events at $1.50, and 
five 20-bird events at $2. The first events are for amateurs, the 
second events being open, $50 a day added money. This should be 
a clinking little shoot. 
Peters Shoot at Houston. 
The Peters Cartridge Company will give a two days' tournament 
at Houston, Tex., April 1. Particulars from C. L. and Theo. 
Bering, Jr., 614 Mam street. Trapshooting is picking up a good 
deal in Houston, and there will be a lively season. Mr, Bering 
writes that there have been a great many visiting sportsmen in 
Houston this season after snipe and ducks, and that snipe have 
been especially abundant^ He says he can put any visitors on to 
where the best shooting can be found in season. The South is a 
good place to keep in mind all the time. 
The most important live-bird race show at Houston recently 
was that between Alf Gardner, of Brenham, Tex., and A. W. 
Daniels, of Houston, a 100-bird event, which was conceded by 
Daniels at the 87th round, the score being then 72 to 67 in favor 
of Gardner. Mr. Gardner will be among the entries at the Grand 
American Handicap.

Chicago, March 16.— -The appended scores wore made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the twelfth trophy shoot of the 
season. Dr. Shaw carried off the honors of the day and most of 
the filthy lucre by going straight in the main event. The birds 
were in the main a very fast lot, mostly left-quartering outgoers, 
aided in their flight by a stiflf southvi'est wind:

Boston G«n Q«b. 
Boston, March 13. — While only twelve shooters attended the 
ninth serial prize match of the Boston Gun Club to-day it did 
not prevent some of those twelve from taking full advantage of as 
good a trapshooting day as has been experienced in this vicinity 
for some time. It was no use to make anything but 9s and 10s 
or you were nowhere near in it. To be sure we had a welcome 
tiitor in Mrs. Park, who had favored us with her presence for 
this afternoon, some taking advantage of the tutoring and others 
not, though one and all were more than pleased to again see her 
on the old grounds in Ihe same position as in former shoots. 
High totals were made in the prize match, Mrs, Park' and Spencer 
placing a 27 to their credit, which comes within one of tieing 
Leroy's high score of two weeks ago. Baker was a good second 
with 26, though it needed a straight score in the end to get it.

New Haven, Conn., March 13. — Fine weather favored the regu- 
lar monthly shoot of the New Haven Gun Club to-day. 
The first 25-bird race was the club race, to which the club donates 
$4, which is divided into five moneys. Capt. Bartlett, of the 
Marlin Fire Arms Company, took first money alone with 24 kills. 
During the shoot a monstrous hen hawk came floating over the 
grounds, seemingly about 80yds. high. Mr. Frank Potter stepped 
out just in time to get the first crack, and scored a most beautiful 
kill. It is said that this hawk has ruined a number of hen families 
and pigeon lofts, and a short time ago carried away a young pig. 
The community is grateful to Mr. Potter.
