Mr. J. L. Head, of. Peru, Ind., wd! known in active trapshooting 
circles as a successful promoter of shotgun competition in its most 
sportsmanlike features, has resigned an important position with the 
Wabash Railroad Company, to take a position with the U. M. C. 
Company, commencing Jan. 1. His territory will be Michigan, 
northern Ohio and Indiana. Mr. Head is himself a trapshooter of 
rare skill, but In addition thereto he has a thorough knowledge 
of the sport in all its details. He has for some years past been 
t>'e 'ead'rx*- soirit in promoting an important annual tournament in 
Vera, which, has been conspicuous by its success and good fellow- 
sti.p. trie acied as a memoer of the Handicap Committe of the 
last G. A. H. at live birds, and won the respect of all his associ- 
ates by his thorough knowledge and fairness. Popular, active 
and up to date, his success in his new position is a foregone 
conclusion.

Under date of Dec. 28 we have received from the famous sports- 
man, Mr. John M._ Lily, of Indianapolis, Ind., the following inter- 
esting, communication: "Will you kindly mention in Forest and 
Stream that I have instituted a gallery of the Immortals, in which 
I desire to place photographs of all of the gentlemen interested in 
the sport of shooting with a shotgun. I earnestly request all 
such to forward to me their photos, cabinet size, with autograph 
signature and address, to my office, Rooms 42 and 43, When 
Building, Indianapolis. I wish one and all the greetings of this 
merry season." 
Mr. W. Fred Quimby, now of St. Louis, Mo., arrived in New 
York early last week, visiting this hamlet to spend the holidays 
with his family. He was the embodiment of good health and 
spirits. His dwell in the West seems to have agreed with him 
greatly. He now wears, with a glow of just pride, a pair of beauti- 
ful cuff buttons, in each of which is set a solitaire diamond of 
rare, lively light. These were a Christmas present from his long- 
time friend, Capt. A. W. Money. Artistic and valuable as they 
are, Mr. Quimby avers that he prizes them highly, but prizes 
much more highly the friendship which they indicate.

A return match between Omaha and Kansas City is contem- 
plated, to take place next February. In the recent contest at 
Kansas City, ten men on a side, 25 live birds per man, Omaha 
won by a score of 227 to 217. Omaha has won four of the five 
trapshooting contests which it has engaged in with Kansas City 
in the past.

Mr. C. W. Budd, of Des Moines, la., has set a pace with the 
shotgun which landed him a winner in the contest for the Hazard 
Powder Live Bird Trophy, put in competition for the first time at 
the Kansas City Midwinter tournament. He and Mr. F. Parmelee 
killed 25 straight, and Mr. Budd won in the shoot-off. 
The contemplated contests between teams of New York, Phila- 
delphia and Baltimore are not progressing expeditiously in the pre- 
liminary arrangements, the place of holding the first contest being 
difficult to agree upon. 
Mr. R. O. Heikes, whose fame has reached every corner of 
civilization where the shotgun is known, has almost entirely re- 
covered from his recent severe attack of throat trouble, and is 
convalescing rapidly.

Forester Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., Dec. 25. — Forester Gun Club's biggest shoot this 
year was held to-day. A drizzling rain kept the shooters busy 
trying to keep it off the top of their gun barrels. Very hazy 
light. 
The live birds were very fast, and kept the man at the score 
guessing where they came from or where they were going to 
head for 'when he called pull. Good warm club house. Good 
wholesome lunch at noon. The shooting continued until dark. 
Thirteen shooters entered the handicap at 7 live birds, and fifteen 
faced the target traps, and every shooter acknowledged a good 
time. The scores:

Ravelrigg. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Dec. 21. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the sixth shoot of first series. 
Dr. Meek won Class A troohy on a score of 11 out of 12. A. 
Marshall won Class B trophy on 8. C. H. Kehl captured Class C 
trophy on 5. 
The day was a bad one for pigeon shooting, being just above 
zero, and a sharp wind blowing across the traps. The birds were 
hummers, and almost every bird, the moment of being released, 
started promptly for Milwaukee, and at a gait which would dis- 
count all schedules, and for aught we know, many of them kept 
up the gait until they got there. 
The attendance was not up to our usual standard, but was 
good, considering the extreme cold:

fine turkey, seven events being shot off— six of 5 birds each and 
one of 10 birds. The pigeons were in the main a fast lot, with 
an occasional sitter and semi-occasionally a genuine screamer. 
About 400 birds were used, and all went merrily as marriage bells:

Mississippi Valley Notes. 
The St. Louis shooting fraternity celebrates New Year's Day 
this week with an open live-bird programme at Dupont Park. The 
event of the day is a 25-bird sweep, with a long list of entries, and 
all extra time will be filled in with shorter events. 
Alf. Gardner, manager, has just issued a snug little pamphlet 
programme, announcing the "Sunny South Shooting Tounnament," 
at Bernham, Texas, the week of Jan. 20 to 25 inclusive. Three 
days are devoted to live birds and three to targets, the former 
being arranged under the high gun plan of division of moneys, 
and the latter on the Rose system, at the ratios of 5, 3, 2, 1. The 
events are well chosen and supplemented by liberal added money, 
aggregating in all over 5800. The whole programme and prospectus 
has a promising, prosperous, sportsmanlike appearance, and one 
can readily believe from it, as Mr. Gardnor assures the reader, 
that this will be a big and happy meeting of the devotees of trap- 
shooting in the South and West. 
The Jerseyville, 111., Gun Club celebrated the advent of the 
new year with an open target and pigeon shoot.. 
Mayor A. W. Young, of Alton, inaugurated during Holiday 
week a novel method of supplying meat in abundance for the 
city's poor during this festival season. He issued a proclamation 
calling for volunteers to go on the 27th to a place m Macaupin 
county, where rabbits abound, all to chase cottontails as a charitable 
enterprise. The C. P. & St. L. Railroad people furnished trans- 
portation to the gunners. The response to the call was generous 
as to numbers, and wagon loads of bunnies were the result of the 
day's work. The farmers in the locality selected for the hunt en- 
tered heartily into the spirit of the thing, and facilitr.t, . J . the hunt in 
every way possible. The subsequent feast wa pi the hap- 
piest that the poor in this bailiwick have ever b •-.red. 
President J. R. B. Van Cleave will call the n « - rs of the 
Illinois Gun Club together early in the new yea- to a> range for 
the next annual meeting and tournament, to be ~M at Spring- 
field in May. i ... „ore.
