Peru, Tnd.— The second annual high-gun pigeon tournament of 
the Peru (Jun Club, held here on Nov. 6 and 7 was, without ques- 
tion, the most important tournament as regards numbers in at- 
tendance, depth of interest, quality of birds, etc., that has been 
held in the West for several years. We had the best of weather 
for pigeon shooting— clear and crisp, with a good stiff breeze, all of 
both days— and as to the quality of birds, they would have to be 
seen to be appreciated. The club had provided some 2,000 country 
birds, and I think I am safe in saying that 2,000 better, stronger 
and faster birds were never provided for any tournament. The 
ground arrangements were perfect; the traps were arranged with 
a quick-wire pull run through a half-inch pipe, that allowed no 
slack, and at the call "Pull" a trap was sprung instantly, and the 
shooter had to be up on his toes or the score read "Dead out" or 
a clean miss. The club had also provided a splendid large, circu- 
lar tent more than 50ft. in diameter, with good, tight side walls; 
and it was a mighty comfortable place between shots, as the 
weather was hovering about the freezing point. A good and 
sufficient working force was provided for every detail, something 
usually lacking at tournaments, and everything went oflf very 
smoothly. . 
The tournament was under the management of John Parker, of 
Detroit— "nufT said." You all know how it was run. 
The retrieving was done by Fred Erb, undoubtedly America's 
premier dog handler, with a string of dogs which he had in train- 
ing; and no matter how far out the bird fell toward the boundary, 
it was seldom indeed that a shooter, no matter how quickly he 
got to the score, had to wait upon the dog. 
Taking this tournament altogether, it was pronounced by those 
present as 'the smoothest, best managed, fairest and best con- 
ducted live-bird tournament that they liad seen in years. 
'Ihe following were the participants in this pleasant event: 
W. R. Crosby, O'Fallon, III,; Fred Gilbert, vSpirit Lake, la.; Guy 
Burnside, Knoxville, 111.; C. W. Phellis, Cincinnati; Jones, of

servant. . 
First Dav, Nov. 6. 
The first day was a beautiful and bright one, the attendance 
large, and the birds indescribable. Owing to the number of entries 
the last event on the programme, a miss-and-out, cou'd not be shot. 
Of the other events, a 5, 7. 10 and 7 bird race, making a total of 
29 birds for the day, Crosby and Gilbert, from the 32yd. mark, 
scored them all, and J. L. Head was close up with one dead out, 
closely followed by Wiggins, Phil and Burnside. Considering the 
conditions, the work of the sportsmen present was wonderful.

Second Day, Nov. 7. 
The second day's programme opened up with a $2 miss-and-out 
as a warmer up, and showed twelve entries as a starter, and was 
won by Clark, of -Wabash, Ind., on the tenth round. This day 
\tas not so bright as the first, the sun failing to appear at all 
after 10 A. M., and prior to that time was a little stingy with 
himself. However, it was great pigeon weather, great pigeons, and 
the wind, blowing from No. 1 trap straight across to No. 5, made 
many riglit-quarterers, and also made the 50yd. boundary look 
mighty close when a bird got out of No. 5. 
The big race, 25 birds, $20 entrance, Ijirds included, showed 
fourteen entries, a goodly number at a country shoot, and consid- 
ering the conditions to be sure; and while the club had all the 
shooters it could well take care of, and used all birds possible over 
one set of traps, yet there were ten pigeon shooters almost within 
the immediate vicinity of Peru who were kept away by business or 
sickness; and these, too, ware men who would have shot this race. 
The club would liked to have seen a few more entries in this one 
race, though it was as fine a race as one cares to see. Old T. Bill 
Crosby certainly showed his true form. From the 32yd. mark he 
scored straight, making the first time this feat has evfr been per- 
formed upon these grounds in a 25-bird race. Ife was simply re- 
markable, considering the distance, the conditions and the quality 
of the birde- The scores:

In accordance with a rule adopted, four misses were out. with ,i 
chance to shoot up if no straights occurred. The money went as 
follows: Crosby, first, $48.10; Head and Wiggins divided second 
and third, $38.50 each; Stevens and Phil, fourth and fifth, $24.05 
each, and Gilbert and Lamme divided sixth money, $9.60 each. 
This ended the big race, but not the tournament, as there were 
plenty of birds and plenty of shooters keen to shoot, so "On with 
the shoot!" was the cry, and a miss-and-out, $2 entrance, birds 
extra, was the next event. The scores:

Here the shooting was brought to a close because, it was too dark 
to even see the traps, much less a pigeon. Lanterns had to be 
provided to divide the last purse, and in a few moments all the 
shooters except the home bovs were on their way to the hotels 
and depots. These, with their help, were like the Arabs, silently 
folding their big tent, clearing up what was the remains of a 
most pleasant event to all concerned. It reminded one of a circus 
packing up to see the lanters, stake pullers, etc., and in one sense 
it had been a circus, for everybody had a good'time. 
Notes 
Billy Crosby was easily the star pertprmer of this tournament. 
It is not seldom that a pigeon shooter in this day and age kills 
25 pigeons straight in a LS-bird sweepstake, but seldom indeed 
does the 25-straight man stand at 32yds. and make that score on the 
kind of pigeons that were served up here. I doubt very much if 
Billy Crosby himself ever did such wonderful shooting in his long 
and splendid career as a shooter as he did upon this occasion. It 
was worth going miles to see this splendid physical specimen stand 
back at the 32yd. mark and center his birds with apparent ease. 
In fact to the outsider Billy seemed extremely deliberate, but to 
a shooter making his time, there was little difference in the time 
of his calling "Pull" and the firing of the first barrel; and gener- 
ally with the sound of the first barrel a pigeon fell dead. Then 
T. Bill glanced delib'erately along those 32 inches of cold steel and 
poured an ounce and a quarter of chilled 7s into that pigeon in 
such a manner that there was never any question of his being re- 
trieved. Billy's score was 94x96 from the 32yd. mark, and it was 
never beaten by any man under similar conditions. Truly he is 
the greatest. 
Fred Gilbert also did splendid work from the extreme mark. The 
birds scored against Fred were usually marked with a *, and the 
kind he lost vvould hardly have been killed by any one else. Fred 
made many friends by his pleasant and gentlemanly bfearing toward 
every one, and he is an easy loser. Many of us can win and be 
jolly, but we can take lessons from Fred when it comes to letting 
a valuable one fall dead out. 
It is a pleasure to conduct a tournament where such retrieving 
is done as was performed by Fred Erb's dogs. He is a fine handler 
and had som.e splendid dogs in his string, notably one owned by 
Pop Werk a.nd another by Thos. Follen, of Lafayette, Ind. The 
spectators were greatly interested in the work of these splendid 
.wimals. On top of his handling Fred makes a splendid referee. 
A new face to the Peru shooting public and most of the amateurs 
was Phellis (Phil), or Chief Mustang, as his fellow chiefs of the 
Scattershool Tribe are wont to call him; but he had taken his 
place at the 31yd. mark but once in his quiet, gentlemanly way 
when dozens were inquiring as to who he was. Well named Chief 
Mustang. You are all horse, and a thoroughbred at that, with a 
head full of horse sense. Your kind is what makes as love to shoot, 
not because of the simple matter of killing a pigeon, but because 
of the association. Long may your shooting career continue, for 
It is bound to continue a brilliant one; 23 in the big race and a 
n-umber of straights are not so bad for this tournament. 
One Guy Burnside, Chief Spoon River, was again a welcome 
visitor to his staunch friend and brother, old Chief High Temper 
Jim Head. As a strictly high-class all-round shot and gentleman of 
the old school, Guy cannot be beaten. He stood on the 31yd. 
mark with Phil and drew the fastest birds — or, so it appeared — 
of any man shooting through this tournament. Most of his lost 
birds were dead out, but they only brought a smile from "Guy. He 
knew that on that kind any man will stub his toe. Guy is the only 
amateur who has a "look in" for the final shoot-off for the Republic 
cup at St. Louis this week, and while his brother amateurs want 
to see, the best man win, they are pulling for Guy to be that "best 
rrian"' among that crowd of world beaters. Her's luck to you, Guy. 
Charlie Wiggins, of Homer, was in grand form. He was center- 
ing his birds as well as anj; one, unless it was Crosb}r. It broke 
the boys all up to see Charlie lose his last one in the big race, but 
had he drawn that bird at any other time he would have lost it 
just the sarne, and so would have most anybody else. It was as 
good a bird as was trapped during the shoot. 
Joe Barto, who kills as many of John Watson's fast birds as any 
man in Chicago, says these birds were just a little too fast for his 
present form. Joe can "kill 'em" for a week when he is in shape, 
and he is nearly always in shape, too. He helps a shoot along 
nicely, as he is in for everything. Come again, Joe. 
Charlie Lamme, of Attica, an old Peru boy, was shooting grandly 
for one of his limited experience on live birds. He has a great 
fii-'st barrel, and all he needs is to speed it up a little and he won't 
haVe to use the other many times. He shot a fine up-hill race in 
the big event: alter losing two in bis first five he fmisbed, with 
Fr^d Gilbert, in the 22 hole. 
Hugh Clark, of Wabash, is another good one for his experience. 
H«t needs a little more practice at this kind of a game, but he is 
ceftainly "game." He was in every race, and pretty close to the 
top at that. 
jphn M. Lilly, of Indianapolis, is certainly a "corker." He.-'With 
Charlie Stevens, of Moline, and one or two other "wits," ..kept 
ev^rybodv in a fine humor. If everybody had as much fun as 
J(ibn Lilly there would not be much grief ^oing the rounds. 
I.ndianaoolis wa§ well represented, as tt always is at Indiana 
shSots. The Limited Club is the parent organization of the" In- 
diana Trapshooters' League. No wonder their totiraameats are 
alji-ays well attended. 
Some' one asked, "How many Peru shooters shot through the 
programme?" Billy Crosby looUed them over and spoke for- the 
first time in two days.. "Four!" said he; and that is a.bout three 
more than one usually finds at a country shooting touraajment 
where the game is the hardest that can be put up. Our boys 
certainly stayed well, aad put up pretty taip gcor^ at that tlf^ 
body_but Crosby beat Jim Head out on the tournament unless it 
was Gilbert, and their scores were pretty close totsether. 
Uncle Henry Mills, of Union Mills, fnd., an old-lime sportsman, 
was present for the first day, and he shot mighty well for one of 
his age. Many is the game bird this gentleman has dropped. He 
was accompanied by Dr .Short, a well-known sportsman of North- 
ern Indiana and. a member of the Legislature from his county. 
The Doctor seldom gets an opportunity to shoot, but he certainly 
loves the sport. 
Charlie Stevens showed splendid form, and will make one of the 
be.st in this country. He was very enthusiastic over the prospects 
for his lOO-bird, $100, race, to take place in December, at Watson's. 
Charlie deserves lots of credit for his efforts on behalf of the 
shooters. 
Chief Rio Grande, Eniilc Werk, was again with us. In fact, he 
was here by special invitation to see that Chief High Temper 
did not suffer at the hands of the tribe as he did a year "since for a 
small transgression in the way of a tent. Pop looked over the 
shelter provided upon this occasion, announced that it was satis- 
factory, and informed the warlike members present that there 
would be no monkeying. His word went. 
It was most gratifying to the members of the Peru Club, though 
they are few in numbers, to be the holders of such a tournament, 
and what was indeed gratifying to them was the fact that ,lhc 
event passed off so pleasantly. Not a criticism, not a protest of the 
referee's decision, not a kick as to the scoring (which was so ably 
performed by Mr. Floyd Tillett), and in fact not a ripple or jar of 
discord was heard throughout the two days; and upon behalf of 
my fellow club members I desire to thank every man here for his 
attendance, for his efforts to make our shoot Ihe success that it was. 
and for your pleasant and agreeable ways, thus making our tasks 
very easy. If you had a good time, it is the I'eru Gun Club which 
enjoys that fact. Frank Dunbar, 
Sec. I'eru Gun Club. 
IN NEW JERSEY, 
Jackson Park Gua CItib. 
Paterson, N. J., Nov. 15.— The Jackson Park Gun Club had a 
very pleasant afternoon shoot to-day at their handsome club 
grounds, situated on the road to Singac. Everything is completed 
except putting down the live-bird traps and the harrowing over 
of the ground. The latter was used as a cornfield this summer. 
When completed it will be one of the finest club grounds in the 
country. The membership is still growing. Several new applica- 
tions came in to-day. They have upward of fifty paid in members 
and almost as many more to act upon at their next meeting. A 
number of the members are new at the shooting^ game, and have 
not taken any active part in the comiietilion yet, but are very 
jubilant over the affairs of the club, as \hey have shown by putting 
up the handsome club house and furnishing tlie grounds with a 
magautrap and five expert traps and a set of live-bird traps. They 
expect to have everything ready and will have an all-day shuot on 
Thanksgiving Day at both live birds and clay birds, starting at 10 
o'clock. This shoot will be open to everybody. This club intends 
to be a factor in the shooting world. It has a' set of live officers in 
the following: President, Game Warden \Vm. Stalter; Vice-Presi- 
dent, Aaron Doty; Secretary, Garry Hopper; Treasurer, Ed 
Morgan; Captain. John Powers. Lieutenant. John Doty; Ground 
Manager, Arthur Crooks ; Official Scorer and Heferee. Wni. Dutcher. 
There was quite a large crowd preserit to-das' to witness the 
shooting. Among the visitors was seen Mr. Jackson, the owner 
of the club grounds, after whose private park the club is named, 
and who was persuaded to try a few shots at Ihe flying saucers, as 
he calls them. He Is one of the regular members. 
Among the other visitors were Harry Stone. Frank Ludlam, 
Harry Alyea, Judge Senior, Charles Lenone, of I'assaic, who took 
part in the shooting.
