Nov. 20, is on exhibition at the latter place, and excites much

We are informed that the South Side Club, whose preserve is 
one of the features of the South Shore of Long Island, is having 
a new steel shooting tower constructed, from the top of which 
targets will be tlirown after the manner sometimes used in 
England. The flights of the targets from the top of such tower 
is much more difficult for the shooter than are the ordinary 
flights.

Garden Gty Gun Clttb Toutnament. 
Pella, la., Oct. 17. — The Garden City Gun Club tournament 
closed to-day. The attendance was light, only seventeen taking 
part on the first day, and ten finishing the programme. 
The second day thirteen shooters were on hand, and six shot 
in all programme events. 
The third day the programme was not followed, and miss-and- 
outs at live birds, with one or two sweeps, were shot. -No recoril 
v/as kept of the live-bird slioots,i as there were but few entries. 
J. M. Hughes and Selbhers did some good work and won most 
of the money. For the two days' target shooting Hughes was 
high. He used U. M. C. shells and Ballistite powder. Selbhers 
was second, Lin ell third, Steege fourth, De Gooyer fifth and 
Geo. Marshall sixth. , - 
On Wednesday evening the club gave a smoker to the visiting 
sportsmen, and there was much, doing and some smoking. The 
entries at the smoker were much larger than at the traps, and the 
targets were very easy, and .several long runs were made. The

WESTERN TRAPS. 
Uniyersal of Chicago. 
Chicago, 111., Oct 19. — The semi-annual tournament of the; 
Universal Gun Club,' of Chicago, will be held Nov. 3'. "There will 
be a live-bird shoot on the grounds of the same club on Sundav, 
Nov. 17, to which every one is welcome. The club holds its 
regular target shoot to-monow at the grounds, 4636 Archer avenue. 
lo reach these grounds take Archer and Brighton cars. 
Garfield of Cfilcago. 
Garfield Gun Club, of Chicago, holds the second shoot | of its 
series on live bii^ to-day. Entries closed in the trophy efent at 
3 o'clock. The membership is, as usual, divided into three clas.ses 
— -A., 11 and C — as in target shooting, and there is no distance handi- 
cap. _ The trophy shoot is at 12 birds. It need not be said liie 
■Gartield Club will have one of its regular, good times. 
Glenview vs. Exmoor. 
(ilenvicw Golf Club is a famous institution north of Chicago, and 
.Fxmour Golf Club is another organization of which quite the same 
may he said. These members sometimes wish something a trifle 
more strenuous than chasing the gutta percha ball, and there is a 
threat now that there will be a five-man team shoot between these 
two clubs, probably at 100 live birds per man. Mr. Geo. Thorne 
and Mr. Osborne dre two of the probabilities for the Glenview team 
and Mr. W. L. Wells, Mr. J. V. Clarke and Mr. C. S. Dennis 
would probably be on the Exmoor team, should the match be 
concluded. The betting rather favors the Glenview Club, but the 
Exmoor golfers pooh-pooh the idea that any one can beat them at 
any sort of game. The chances are that the shool will not come 
ofl ; but it would be very interesting if it did mature. 
In Town. 
The gini brigade of the traveling men is beginning the regular 
fall pilgrimage. Charlie Willard and W. H. de Wolf were both 
on the market in Chicago to-day. Another traveling man, Jesse 
I'umphrey, of Columbus, O., is also in the village, .-ind the three 
will meet on the bloody sands at Watson's this afternoon. Chas. 
Cristadoro, of St. Paul, was here yesterday. 
E. Hough. 
Hartford Building, Chicago, 111. 
Garfield Gan Clttb. 
C hicago, Oct. 9. — The appended scores were made on our grounds 
(o-day on the occasion of the second trophy shoot of the series. 
H. N. Delano carried off the honors of the day and with them 
incidentally Class A trophy. P. McGowan and A. D. Dorman tied 
for Class B medal and E. W. Eaton won Class C. 
' The day was rather a pleasant one for pigeon shooting until 
toward evening, when a chilly north wind sprang up, making it 
too cold for comfort. 
The birds were a good lot, and had enough real screamers 
among them to keep the shooters guessing. 
Owing to the game season being on a good many of our regular 
shooters are away after chickens, quail and ducks; still seventeen 
put in appearance, which is not so worse.

Mississippi Valley Notes. 
John Cabanne, of St. Louis, has challenged Harold Money for a 
return match at live birds, to be shot at the local grounds during 
the fall. Mr. Money will accept, but has not yet named dates. 
As one of the officers charged with the enforcement of the 
Illinois game law, the writer can substantiate the statement of 
Mr. Hough, in his delightful letter^ of Western sporting notes 
in the current issue of FOREST and Stream, that quail in Illinois 
are being protected, in spite of the flaws in the new game law. 
Farmer and sportsman have formed a mutual corn-pact with the 
officers to protect the birds, and I do not think that there ever 
were fewer violations in the history of game protective work in 
Illinois. It is a striking example of the effect of moral force 
when public sentiment is united to accomplish an end. 
The Rawlings target handicap medal at St. Louis was won on 
Oct. 12 by Dr, Sims, who made the only straight score. 
Mr. C. R. Stevens, of Moline, comes forward with about the 
warmest shooting proposition that has ever challenged the at- 
tention of trap followers in this country. He has sent out the 
trivial number of eighteen hundred circulars inviting replies and 
comments to a proposal to shoot 100 live birds, for $100 per centry, 
at Watson's Park, Chicago, earlj' in December. The entrance fee 
is to include price of birds at 25 cents each, and moneys to be 
arranged in the Grand American Handicap plan, at the ratio of 
three moneys to every ten entries. Mr. Stevens bases his propo- 
sition on tiie presumption that many lovers of trapshooting are 
getting tired of the you-win-you-lose system which has so gener- 
ally prevailed of late, and in this idea he is doubtless correct. The 
writer understands that almost enough assurances are already in 
to guarantee the success of the scheme. It is a bold step, to be 
sure, but it will, if consummated, give to the world such a 
shooting match as will challenge the attention and respect of 
all lovers of good, clean sport. Such a contest, if it filled to the 
extent of 100 men, would require the best part of a week to pn'l 
oft", and it would bring to Chicago such a gathering of shooters 
as the ^^'est has never had. Mr. Stevens is vice-jiresident of the' 
Illinois State Sportsmen's Association, is one of the newly chosen 
Indians, and with Uncle John Watson as his right-hand bower, is 
just the man to carry this enterprise through in sidendid sh.'ipe. 
Success to "The Flying Dutchman." 
The Twin City Gun Club, of Piasa and Pekin, gave a successful 
all-day tournament on the 20th, 
Guy Burnside won high average at the recent tournament of 
the Roadhouse Gun Club. Guy has been very busv with that 
\\'illie Cashmore of late, landing his full share of averages on the 
Illinois circuit. 
Late rains haye materially enhanced fall duck shooting prospects 
on the Mississippi and tributaries. Some fair bags of mallards 
and teal have already been reported. 
John S. Fanning, of the Lafiin & Rand Powder Company, was in 
St. Louis on the 18th, hale, happy and enthusiastic, as is his wont. 
Mr. W. Fred Quimby has purchased the famous Roderigo 
setter dog Dick Bland, and is looking forward to some killing 
quail hunts this fall. 
Mr. John Hunter, Jr., of the Hunter Arms Company, was in 
St. Louis on the 18th and 19th, calling on the trade in the interests 
of that popular make of gun.
