FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Not. ao, 1901. 
TIic St. Louis Totamameut. 
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 24.— The tournament incidental to the final 
shoot-off for the Kepublic cup, pulled off here this week, proved a 
pleasant afTair, but the dates were unfortunately chosen, as the long 
season of beautiiul Indian summer weather which had prevailed 
here through the fall came to an end Thursday, and was succeeded 
by a cold, raw northwester, which made shooting anything but a 
comfort, and greatly cut down the attendance. 
A good programme at targets and live birds was arranged for 
Friday, the opening day, and was faithfully followed. While the 
conditions were not favorable to good scores, some splendid work 
was done in the target events. Will Crosby lost but one in the ten 
15-bird sweeps, with a run of 96 straight; Herbert Taylor made a 
run of 100 straight. Frank Rogers lost 3 and Fred Gilbert 4 all day. 
Moneys were divided in this event on the Rose system, so that 
with the small entry and high average scores the winnings of the 
topnotchers were inconsiderable, but losses, on the other hand, were 
correspondingly light, so that, on the whole, the result was prob- 
ably quite satisfactory. The scores are appended:

During the day a meeting of the four men interested in the 
Republic cup — Parmelee, Elliott, Gilbert and Burnside — was held, 
and the boys decided to open the trophy to one more general con- 
test, to be shot Saturday, under the original rules, except that 25 
per cent, of the net purse should go to the present winners of the 
cup. 
Saturday, Nov. 23. — Weather continued raw and cold, with 
clouded sky and northwest wind sweeping over the range in the 
faces of the shooters. On account of the open contest for the Re- 
public cup, the target programme was made a secondary matter, 
and attention for the day centered in the live-bird circle. 
As an opening warmer a $2 miss-and-out was shot, with eleven 
entries. The birds were fast, and it took just 20 minutes to decide 
the contest, Gilbert, Crosby and Stevens dividing on the eighth 
round. 
In the second event, 10 birds, three moneys, Parmelee, Gilbert, 
Burnside, Stevens, Capt. Money, Harold Money, Dr. Sims and 
.Spencer killed straight; Orvis, Crosby, Mermod and Riehl scored 
9, and Fanning was alone with 8. The straight men decided upon 
a shoot-ofT. As onlv one man lost out, and finally on account of 
time, seven divided $23. 
Owing to illness of Mr. Elliott, as he did not feet that he could 
stand the strain of two long races in one afternoon, it was decided 
to call off the open race for the Republic cup, and the tie match 
between the four men interested and present was shot, beginning 
at 2 P. M. Charlie Young, the first winner of the cup, was unable 
to attend the tournament, and therefore forfeited his rights in the 
match. 
All contestants stood at 30yds. The birds were a very good lot, 
with only two sitters during the match. 
Parmelee was the first to lose on a low driver, which was hard 
hit with the second and died outside. In the next round Gilbert 
lost a swift. incomer, also dead out. Elliott then lost a hard right- 
qvartering driver from trap 3. The match then went merrily on 
without a mishap until Burnside drew a corking incoming curver 
on the 21st round, and lost it hard hit. Elliott dropped his second 
bird on the 22d round, and finished with 23. The other three con- 
testants finished on a tie with 24. 
The three remaining contestants agreed to decide the tie in a 
series of shooting in blocks of 5. Parmelee was the first to lose 
a corkscrew of an outgoer from the center trap. Gilbert and Burn- 
side continued to the 44th round in the .shoot-off, when the latter 
lost a hard right-quartering towerer, and Gilbert, killing his next 
bird, won the match and trophy. It was a hard-fought battle 
throughout, and characterized by some splendid work by all parties 
in the match. 
The remainder of the day was devoted to live-bird miss-and-outs 
and several informal target sweeps. The scores:

OJd Shots. 
The shoot was in charge of Alec Mermod and Billy Mason, 
rnanagers of Dupont Park, and the boys earned the commenda- 
tion of the crowd by the courtesy, promptitude and careful atten- 
tion that characterized the service. 
Dinner was served in the club house, and was one of the very 
successful features of the meet. 
J. A. R. Elliott was not at all well Friday and Saturday, but shot 
splendidly under this physical handicap. 
The birds were throughout better than the average, and the 
Fulford underground traps worked to perfection.

Westmount Gun Club. 
MoNTRE.\L, Que., Nov. 18. — During the winter months several 
feet of snow, a dickens of a blow, with mercury near zero, is; 
proverbial Westmount Gun Club weather for their practice shoots, 
Saturday afternoon, the 16th, was, however, an exception to ihei 
general rule, as there was only about l%ft. of snow, with a mild, 
calm atmosphere, though cloudy and dark. 
There was a slim attendance, as many of the boys are still out 
after game, feathered or four-footed. Another couple of weeks will 
bring them in; then we can look for a house full every Saturday 
afternoon. 
The fourth event was a contest for the individual trophy between 
R. B. Hutcheson, Esq,, and C. J. Cleghorn. Mr. Tlutcheson had a 
handicap of one bird, and as he broke 19 straight, after missing 
his first, he landed a winner with a full score, Mr. Cleghorn, 
who is the secretary of the Province of Quebec Fish and Game 
Society, shot in fine form, centering his birds well, excepting the 
one that he dropped. 
These grounds are very hard and deceptive for strangers to shoot 
over, as there is a sharp drop away in front, as well as from ihe 
left to the right. This makes the right-quartering birds look as, 
though they were towering high in the air, and the left-quarlering-i 
birds as though they were plunging into the ground, or at least 
very near it. This causes many to under shoot the left-hand tar- 
gets, and over shoot the right-hand ones. 
The boy who ran the trap was a scorcher, judging by the way! 
the targets flashed out into the space — regular hummers. 
Below are the scores. Next Saturday Mr. Lyne, the Toronto: 
crack, will have a try for the trophy:
