FOREST AND STREAM, 
INov. a, xQOi. 
Amateuf Handicap Tournament* 
Des Moines, la., Oct. 24. — This is the last day of the amateur 
tournament held on the Des Moines Gun Club grounds, in this 
city, Oct. 22, 23 and 24. 
The progi-amme the first and second days was at targets; the third 
day, a live-bird handicap. 
The target shooting was done from two sets of traps, Sergeant 
system, and each day's programme called for 180 targets — twelve 
15-target events. Thirty dollars was given to the five high guns, 
and ?18 to the three low guns. 
Twenty- seven took part on the first day, and on the second day 
forty-two shooters faced the traps. The targets were thrown about 
50yds. 
The scores were very high, and. we think the professionals can 
congratulate themselves on being barred— from a money standpoint. 
In event No. 5 on the first day there was but one straight score: 
Mr. W._Wettleaf winning first money alone. 
Something over 13,000 targets were thrown in the two days. 
Mr. F. C. Whitney had charge of the office, and this means that 
the office part was well handled. Mr. C. VV. Budd had charge of 
other matters pertaining to the shoot, and the programme was 
finished by 4 o'clock each daj'. 
Wednesday evening Mr. George Macartney entertained the sports- 
men at the Kirkwood Hotel Club rooms. George knows how to 
entertain as well as shoot, and about fifty sportsmen were on hand 
to enjoy Mr. Macartney's hospitality. 
Among the shooters present from outside the State were Tom A. 
Marshall, Guy Burnside and Geo. Roll from Illinois; J. M. Hughes, 
Wisconsin; Mr. Shenewell, Colorado; G. Brucker, Dan Bray and 
Mr. Taggert, Nebraska, and Mr. Thornton, Joplin, Mo. 
First high average in the target events was won by J. M. Hughes. 
He used U. M. C. shells and Ballistite powder; White, second; 
Wettleaf, third; Bray, fourth, and Tom Marshall fifth. First low 
average was won by D. Tripp; second by McFarland, and third 
was divided between Texas and Stege. 
The third day's programme called for a 25-live-bird handicap, 
26 to 31yds. rise, ?300 guaranteed, trophy and $150 to first high 
gun; $90 to second high gun, and $60 to third high gun, should 
there be more than thirty and not exceeding forty entries. All 
moneys in purse in excess of $300 divided 34, 33 and 33 per cent, to 
fourth, fifth and sixth high guns. 
The birds were a good lot, and Geo. Roll, shooting from tlie 
30yd. mark, was the only one to score 25 straight. He took the 
cup and first money, $150. He shot a Parker gun and U. M. C. 
shells. Sheehy at 27, Nichols at 28, Brucker at 27, belbers at 28 
and Tripp at 27yds., scored 24, and divided the second, third, fourth, 
fifth and sixth moneys, getting a little over $44 each. 
After the handicap was finished miss-and-outs, entrance $2, birds 
extra, were shot until dark. About 750 live birds were trapped. 
Mr. Milner is to be congratulated on holding so successful a 
tournament, and will no doubt hold another about this time next 
year. 
The Des Moines Gtlii Club liave sold their shooting grounds to 
the city for park purposes, and another ground will have to be 
secured in the near future.

They Each Had It. 
New York, Oct. 23. — Editor Forest and Slreani: Six gentlemen 
from different parts of the country recently met at a club on the 
■ Xtlantic Coast; none of them had seen each other before. Each 
of them was telling about the gun he owned, how well it shot, 
how superbly it balanced, how well it was fitted, and how nearly 
perfection it was. None of them knew what make of gun the other 
had; so they decided that each man take his gun out of the case 
and lay it on a table, and then compare makes and argue merits 
of each gun. After the guns were laid out, the gentlemen loolced 
them all over and found there was "no room for argument," as 
they were all Charles Daly guns. . Veritas.
